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]

[...] Shiki, what even.

...okay can I talk to you? About something really serious?

[Look around. They're on the beach having just been escorted off an resort that just vanished. A few other people seem to be around. She turns back to Shiki]

...Okay, but wanna go somewhere else?

Shop or house? Whichever's closest from here.

Shop, duh. The teleporter again. ...Neither's super close though.

[She looks around - there's the fort, but it is a ways off]

...it's not really a secret. People will find out eventually anyway. [She grabs Haruhi's wrist and pulls her along the beach, down away from the other people that are still lingering.] Too bad we don't have a blanket or something...it's really sandy.

Oh... okay. [Pulled along. But... okay this does not sound good. She frowns as she trails along]

[It's not good. She settles on a spot, slowly letting go of her friend's wrist and sitting on the sand. She doesn't care enough at the moment. She can shake out her skirt later.] So...something happened the other day, and I didn't want to tell you because you were having too much fun, but I really need to tell you because I can't...

[...Oh jeez. Someone went home she didn't know about or someone died in the draft she didn't know about based on context. She feels like a shmuck for not knowing which or who, so she just sits down wordlessly next to Shiki for the time being]

...[She's just going to have to bite the bullet.] Neku's gone.

What.

[Again? She guiltily finds herself thinking]

He's gone. He's been gone for a few days...I even went back to check the house. I just woke up one morning and he wasn't here.

Oh.

[...]

And now she puts an arm around Shiki's shoulder]

[She will just be leaning against her in that case.] Why do you think this keeps happening?

Who knows?

...is there any way you can bring him back? [It's selfish to ask, she knows. She shouldn't be asking her best friend to try to alter the universe just for her, but...]

I dunno. It didn't work before, but I can try.

Do what you feel like. I'm not going to force you into it. [Which is a lie and she might very well try later but for now she's just staying there leaning against the other girl's shoulder.]

Yeah, alright.

[And she goes to wrap an arm around Shiki side. Her poor friend]

[Well hopefully she doesn't mind if Shiki starts crying. Yeah, that's happening.] I don't want to do this all over again. I can't. [She's vaguely aware she may have already said this, but that doesn't make it any less true.] What am I supposed to do?

[She bites her lip. she doesn't know... it was a given they would be around together. Without it, well... nnngh]

You and Minato are the only people I've told so far. I have no idea how to tell Beat or Josh or...anybody else. Especially since Joshua's still weird about Mr. H leaving and Beat's from a time where he's still dead. How am I supposed to explain this? [She's just rambling, don't mind her.]

I guess just one thing at a time.

[Lightly, mostly to herself]

...maybe he'll come back though. You know, he came back once before. Why wouldn't he do it again?

[...] You can't count on that though.

[That might be too rude. Too direct. But she can't have Shiki clinging to that specific thought, it's not healthy]
