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]

[And done with the stripping. Easing into the water now, but shooting her another dirty look.] You're going to go back to calling me an idiot?

[godbent]

Who said I ever stopped? You just have been acting smarter, sometimes.

[ /eyebrow ]

[so_shik]

[What, aren't you going to join her by sitting on the edge? Seriously.]

Sometimes. Maybe you've just been rubbing off on me, ever thought of that?

[godbent]

If I'm rubbing off that's an improvement overall...

[Whistle]

[so_shik]

Don't you think you're a little biased? [Splashing a bit of water at her. Totally biased.]

[godbent]

[Getting her clothes wet :C] It's just an observation!

[so_shik]

Yeah, a biased one. [Splash 8|]

Am I at least rubbing off on you a little?

[godbent]

[GURL, you get me wet :C]

Maybe a little, anyway.

[so_shik]

In what way? [That's the point :(]

[godbent]

Like... ways. [...How do you make "I've gotten sluttier" sound positive...

Or fashion...]

[so_shik]

Ways...right.

I think I've gotten used to you being like this. [She says it without really thinking it through, but it's true. She's almost 100% okay with Haruhi being a girl now.]

[godbent]

[Another wince. This is a very, very slight one, but she knows that is something that still weighs on people. Some people obviously prefer her like this (Sokka, Keiichi, Minato) but for others, it is something they had to struggle to adjust to (Buffy, Winry, Shiki) and very often she tries to forget that is the case]

Well it's been a year.

[so_shik]

So? I've been in Eri's body for almost three years and I'm still not really used to it. Since when does time really make a difference in these things?

[godbent]

[ ... :c But yeah, she's right. Siigh. Okay, going to sit on the edge of the tub now]

[so_shik]

Does it bother you that people remember you that way?

[godbent]

Of course it does.

[ ... ]

[so_shik]

So...what do you do?

[godbent]

It's not like there's anything to do, all things considered.

[so_shik]

You know what I mean though. You're better with coping with things than I am, so I was curious.

[godbent]

I... what? How am I-?

[ ... ]

I'm not that much better than you.

[so_shik]

You act like it...it's like you don't really openly freak out about things as much as I do. I beat people with cats, remember?

[godbent]

[...Well, that is true. Haruhi shifts on her position here, and finally settles in to leaning - with most of her clothes still on - at the edge of the tub, looking down at the naked Shiki]

Yeah, I remember. Who could forget?

[so_shik]

So what's your secret? That's the real question.

[godbent]

I don't have one? I don't know, I'm just me.

[so_shik]

I guess I just keep thinking back to when I first met you and it was like seeing a walking identity crisis.
