13th: The Choices of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice]

[This post comes up about an hour after the draft announcement and her reaction to it. It's cool, simple, to the point. Whoever wants to run into her will run into her during the course of the next day or two (and feel free to action that!) when she goes about "business as usual." Fur now, she's been training in magic and hand to hand, but neither is going to be efficient here, so-]

Someone teach me how to shoot a gun.

[And who knows, maybe people will reply to her about unrelated garbage too. She's still trembling, sitting on the roof of her house tonight

... That is a good question.

You can call me Aether. I prefer to stay out of sight.

[action]

[godbent]

...Yeah, that makes sense. [She nods here. But then idly thinks about how Neku would have been having those moments with Haruki, not her. It's a thought she doesn't have as much these days as she had even two months ago, but]

That was a weird time.

[voice]

[godbent]

Yeah... yeah, I will. Don't worry.

[godbent]

I am serious! She was mortified!

voice;

[godbent]

[...Weirdo]

Okay, okay, so you're a shy loner named Aether. Anything else I need to know from your life story?

voice;

[shred-the-sky.livejournal.com]

... No?

Action

I think we should stop for now. It will be late soon. You can keep the gun if you need to train more with it.

[She slips a cartridge of bullets out of her shield, while it's behind the console so Haruhi won't see, and throws it to the other.]

Real ammo, with sixteen rounds of firepower. You can use it to train outside of the dome if you so wish.

[so_shik]

That was really all though? Nothing else?

voice;

[godbent]

Huh. Well. Thanks for the tips, I guess.

Action

[godbent]

[...Oh. She takes the box and while she wants to protest to that - that they barely have done anything yet - she knows she should at least try to sleep. She nods, deftly]

Thanks.

[godbent]

What else would there be?

[so_shik]

How should I know? She's your girlfriend, not mine.

[godbent]

Well you're the one sensing things or whatever!

[so_shik]

It just sort of happens, okay? Don't get mad about it!

[godbent]

Then what were you sensing!

[so_shik]

Just because I sense things doesn't mean I get what they mean! Forget it! [Just going to kick at the water.]

[godbent]

[SIGH. She puts her face in a bit and blows bubbles. It's fine, really... the only bump is Ed being here and that has nothing to do with what Shiki could observe]

[so_shik]

...what is it you like about her anyway? [It's an idle question, but one that Shiki's never had a clear answer on.]

[godbent]

[...What? she pulls her head out of the water, surprised and-] What's that even mean?

[so_shik]

I mean...what do you see in her to date her? Didn't think that was a hard question.

[godbent]

[...] What sort of a stupid question is- [She coughs and shakes her head, splashing a bit of water at Shiki] I'm in love, you idiot.

[And though she flushes up saying that, it's better than explaining details. Though Shiki might ask it anyway]

[so_shik]

[She sputters a bit when some of that water hits her in the face, splashing back.] Yeah, I see that. I mean why? [Of course she wants deets. Did you expect any less?]

[godbent]

[The splash hits her and she splutters too, but then groans]

Why not? She's- ... She's great. [...] Why do you like Neku, huh?!

[She's just being defensive now because it's so awkward to recant reasons]

[so_shik]

Neku and I are a totally different and totally weird situation. Besides, this isn't about us. It's about you. So spill it.

[godbent]

What sort of a stupid answer is that! You want me to list reasons when you can't?!
