Appointments Post ( I )

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Haruhi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
Written, June 10th]

It can't be the same person as before, huh? Even if they come from the same "key point" if they have no memories of this place, they won't be the same, is that how you judge it?

I don't know how you can see it any other way - inevitably, they'll have different experiences here which will make them develop in different ways. Calling them them the same is a little like saying that identical twins are the same person.

Yeah... You're right.

[Except that he really can't call them different. It would be like saying that those Keiichis from previous worlds weren't he, but they were. Their sins are his sins. He can't see it in any other way without feeling irresponsible even if many people would think that it's stupid that he worries about other worlds. At least he understands that they are out of his reach and out of his influence.

He sighs.]

I'm sorry Haru-chan... Rena's gone.

[And Satoshi and Rika but... They didn't know Haruhi very much, right?]

[...Oh.]

Hah.

[And reaches a hand out now - a light one, to brush the side of Keiichi's face]

[Keiichi looks at her at the feeling of the hand, slightly confused. He expected her to get angry or something and stomp away because Rena was gone once more and no one knew if she would return... Or if she would keep her memories of this place or not.]

Are you okay?

[Some people could say that it's not him the one who should ask that but it's Haruhi the one in a worst position. He will see Rena again someday in the future.]

[The brush happens just once and then it falls to her side. She seems to make up her mind about what she's doing in that instant, and an annoyed look shoots onto her face.]

...Of course I am!

[Why is she annoyed at him now? Keiichi sighs.]

There's no need to be annoyed at me, you know. I was just asking.

Who said anything about-! Jeez, I was just concerned, sue me!

Well, I'm concerned about you too!

[Keiichi groans, this isn't going as it should.]

I'm just worried you're going to get angry and hurt over this... I know there's not much I could do if you do but, I don't know, at least I'm here so I can listen or something?

And you aren't hurt?

[She said to try to offhand the pain]

[He is. But it's fine, it will go away. One day he will be sent back and they will be there. He will see them again.]

I am. But you're more important.

I'm more- Jeez, Keiichi. That just sounds silly.

[With a little huff]

And why does it sound silly? Even if we all hurt, it's you and the others the ones who have it worse. You yourself said it.

[Even if Rena returns with no memories, she would still be his Rena. Haruhi and the others, though, there was only one Rena for them.]

You're the one with more connection and history though! What are you talking about?! That's how it always is - the people from the same world get the hallpass of depression in these situations!

I will see her again some day. Maybe not tomorrow or the next week, maybe not in the next months, but some day I'll be sent back whether I like it or not and I'll get bored of seeing her everyday and tease her and pat her head. But you won't, unless she returns here with all the memories of this place you won't see that Rena again. And if you or Minato leave I probably won't see you ever again either.

[He sighs heavily.]

I'm not in the mood of holing myself in my room until you come to drag me out of it because of this again... Besides, it's not as if I'm Rika, I don't remember all those worlds we were through, only bits and pieces. In reality I've known you and the others longer than what I've known Rena and the others.

[He had been struggling about it, his bonds with them where still there but he felt more drained to Minato and the rest. He seemed to be unable to ride his bike together with his friends of Hinamizawa at the same speed but he was able to do it with the friends he had made in Luceti. He's still depressed though, but he really tries to be strong and deal with it, it's true that he didn't feel like moping like he had before.]

[...Hah. Leave it to Keiichi to say something sensible. She sighs and then makes her way over to the shelve of books. She reaches up and plucks one off the shelf, a silly little number about rabbits from the moon. She looks a the cover before putting it back on the shelf. This all happens as she tries to come up with something to respond to that with.

Finally, she comes up with-] ...Well, that's good.

[He has his moments, as rare as they may be. He'll be here, observing her for a bit. It's not that he's expecting more to be said from her specifically but he doesn't have more to say at the moment... Nothing he wants her to know at least.]

...So that leaves the Brigade without a vice-chief, again.

[Sigh]

There's Taichi, he's young and all but he didn't do a bad job while you were gone if we don't make comparisons.

You think he's ready for that?

Maybe not. But he won't ever be ready if he doesn't get challenged by it and given more responsibilities and all, don't you think?

Yeah, I guess so... [...Sigh, yeah fair enough. But she still isn't sure about the idea of Taichi with all that responsibility]

Besides, you're here, if it's too much for him you can take a bit more of work for a while as he grows used to it or something, can't you?

The Vice-Chief has a lot of mitigation responsibilities though.... Maybe I should do it based on merit after all.

If there's anyone that fits I suppose it's another option. Though I still think you should start to give Taichi more responsibilities and such, the kid works hard after all.
