13th: The Choices of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[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

No. I'm not going to fight.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

[...what.] ...how...are you going to get away with that?

[Voice]

[godbent]

By not fighting?

I'm a non-combatant, you know.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

...does that mean what I think it means? [She's assuming you may or may not be using certain powers you may or may not have.]

[Voice]

[godbent]

If you think that means "stick to the base camp and find a non-skull bashing thing to do" then yes.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Close enough...just be careful, okay?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Of course I'll be careful. I'm not an idiot, you know.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

...how does Winry feel about you going?

[Voice]

[godbent]

I dunno, same as me? Scared? Mad?

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Well did you ask her?

[Voice]

[godbent]

We agreed to talk more tomorrow.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

...you probably don't want to hear it, but I'm kind of worried about it.

[Voice]

[godbent]

[She sighs]

If you're going to talk to me about this, at least do it in person.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Where are you?

[Voice]

[godbent]

I'm coming in - get the bath running for me.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

What do I look like, your babysitter? [But hey, there's the sound of Shiki crossing the house to the bathroom with the tub, turning on the water.]

[godbent]

[She snorts at the journal and closes it. A bit of marching down the ladder later and with a bit of dragging her heels, she's at the door to that downstairs bathroom]

[so_shik]

[And Shiki's shutting off the water.] ...and why am I doing this for you?

[godbent]

So I can take a bath, duh.

[And she's going to be taking off her top as she says this, making her way over to the pre-soak rinsing part of the bathroom]

[so_shik]

[For whatever reason, this isn't as weird as when she was a he in her mind. So she's just leaning against the wall.] You're taking a bath now. It couldn't wait?

[godbent]

You can come in too if you want.

[As she keeps stripping]

[so_shik]

Shouldn't that kind of thing be reserved for you and Winry?

[godbent]

It's not like I'm going to make out with you. It's your call.

[Lalala more undressing]

[so_shik]

Can it even fit both of us? [But she's pushing herself away from the wall. Besides, she already knows the answer. Stalling.]

[godbent]

This thing could fit four of you if needed, stick.

[She sighs and- okay, fully undressed, time to pre-rinse]
