9th: The Consideration of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice]

...Huh, so I guess that's over now. I actually liked that one, being super was really cool! [Sigh] Well, whatever.

Brigade, for those who missed the memo, we collected three new members of late. They were introduced before, but to clarify, the cartoony rabbit thing is Oswald and that other guy is Ayumu, and apparently he's a zombie. We also got Ellis, but I've not seen hide or hair of him- anyone who knows anything about him should report to me ASAP.

[...] Oh, right, and if you didn't notice yet, Minako's gone. [She didn't know for sure when Minato or whoever left her the gift, but it's hard not to miss now

...And then there's Usagi, but she's gone, apparently. That still feels like a kick to the gut, so she's not going to address that. Well, she has things to do today, but let's throw up some filters first:]

[Filtered to Pascal // 85% Unhackable]

Hey, we talked before, right? You still here?

[Filtered to Rena // 85% Unhackable]

[She hasn't really spoke with her since Valentines, or well... shortly there after. She frowns and then exhales sharply before]

Hey, let's talk.

[...Pause, and then back to public again:]

[Public voice]

Hey, anyone else got worthwhile DVDs?! I've got pretty much the complete collection of Disney and Pixar stuff, but nothing else. Anyone who's got anything of value, ring me and we can arrange a trade! [...] It's so lame they don't just have them in the shops, really. Actually- hey, Catherine! If you're stalking this, let's talk about you giving me some more movies.

[That would give her more to do, anyway. Either way, it's Sunday]

The zombie thing. [....sigh.] Well, I guess it doesn't matter now.

[it's not like any of his classmates are around here, and there are vampires and Batman in the streets.]

[voice]

[godbent]

You tell it to some random girl at a party and it's supposed to be a secret?

[voice]

[sundead]

You forced me to tell.

[that... is a lame excuse and he knows it] It's not that it's secret, it's just my business.

[voice]

[godbent]

And you're mine, so it works out.

[voice]

[sundead]

...Right.

[you are so much like Haruna it's kind of frightening sometimes...

Anyway, subject change.] So DVDs are hard to find here?

[voice]

[godbent]

Yeah, you need to talk with Big Brother.

[voice]

[sundead]

With... huh? [the reference is going over his head] You have a brother here?

[voice]

[godbent]

Not my brother, you moron! Big Brother! Catherine! The Malnosso CEO! Don't you read?!

[voice]

[sundead]

Well, how was I supposed to know? Catherine is a woman's name anyway.

[voice]

[godbent]

It's probably an alias, but he insists on it.

[voice]

[sundead]

Pretty strange alias...

[voice]

[godbent]

So says the guy with the name which is the same as a woman here.

[voice]

[sundead]

[hey...] Ayumu's a perfectly normal name.

[voice]

[godbent]

...Sure you aren't fooling yourself?

[voice]

[sundead]

Positive. And you should know that, you're Japanese too, aren't you?

[voice]

[godbent]

I wonder if your names are written the same way too. If so, she's the original, you know.

[voice]

[sundead]

Does that really matter?

[voice]

[godbent]

Well, not that much, or I'd have renamed you already.
