13th: The Choices of Haruhi Suzumiya

[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

I know what you meant - all Tasers can be ranged.

Maximum range of thirty five feet for standard late twentieth and early twenty first century models.

...

I wonder if I can requisition a Star Trek phaser.

[...give him a second to remember "Star Trek"...Buffy's explained to him once or twice.]

You'd be better off asking McCoy about something like that.

[godbent]

Well duh that-

[...wait there's- ...Shaking that off]

I meant if they'd let me.

Re: [Voice - Filtered 15%]

[consultmybooks]

You'd be better off asking someone who's been drafted before.

I'd say the odds are in your favor, though.

...On that note, I could request a sentai costume, and an arc-projector type thing, and tac-nukes...

[Giles will listen politely until Haruhi is done listing and probably not understand a thing she lists.]

[godbent]

[She lists about a half-dozen other inane and potentially useful items from various scifi series and finally settles on-]

And a personal teleportation device.

Re: [Voice - Filtered 15%]

[consultmybooks]

Doesn't teleporting usually require you to know the place you're teleporting to? Or at least be remotely familiar with it?

[Voice - Filtered 15%]

[godbent]

Oh, that's true.

...A kinetic barrier might be good though.

Re: [Voice - Filtered 15%]

[consultmybooks]

...I know I'll regret asking, but what on Earth is a "kinetic barrier"?

[He knows what "kinetic" is and he knows what "barrier" is, but the words together aren't quite clicking, Haruhi.]

[Voice - Filtered 15%]

[godbent]

A more scientific version of a force field, obviously! Think about it! Something which can stop kinetic energy and render things hitting it inert.

Re: [Voice - Filtered 15%]

[consultmybooks]

I didn't think that was implied from the name, actually.

...well, I hope you can get it. Sounds useful enough.

[Voice - Filtered 15%]

[godbent]

Yeah, one can only hope.

Re: [Voice - Filtered 15%]

[consultmybooks]

Best of luck with that, Haruhi.

Keep in touch, if you think to.
