godbent | 15th: The Refurbishing of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice / Action]

The school term's ending next week, days are hotter - well, aside from today, I guess - and longer, and I just got back from a beach trip. It's really starting to feel like summer, huh? Summer! If only we had chlorine... I guess we could still do bug catching, but there aren't even cicadas here, so the only interesting thing left is fireflies...

[...]

Ooo-kay, do you guys know what July 7th is? You only get two guesses, so you better get it right! Go!

[She laughs at the end of this. Rena's gone home and she's aware of this by now... but she's trying to keep in high spirits. In light of other things going on it's better that way and in light that the casino is finally done, all she needs to do is pick a date. Not to mention her boat is done even if she needs to furnish it... speaking of]

Also, a flag. Boats need flags, right? Someone step up help us out with that, I'll give you some cookies for it - home baked, of course.

[...Hm There's a chirp from Sekai in the background, and she nods] Or furniture. Summer just makes you want to try new things, right? It's like with your cells, you need to replace them now and again, so if anyone needs some old chairs or couches or what not I'm willing or organize a trade. Just this once, we'll go for an even trade - for quality like the stuff in my house, this is a real bargain!

[She said without consulting her housemates. As a result of this, one might find Haruhi sitting on the porch of House 10 imperiously watching for anyone strong enough to pass the house that she can force into being a laborer for her. There's a lot of random furniture that while it's been there a while she's not super-attached to, and might as well go for some new things. Sekai is also derping around in the yard as only a large rooster can]

No duh.

[He frowns and then... aha, wait.]

Do you even know what the fourth of July is?

Know what, what are you- Oh. Oh, right, it might be America's Independence Day, right?

... ahh, I guess you do. [Now the fact he doesn't know what she's talking about just makes him look bad.]

Of course, I'm me! [Even if it was from a movie or two]

Right... well, I don't know what the seventh is. What is it?

Tanabata! It's a very important day that you should keep in mind.

[Well. Important to her]

Tanabata... what's it about?

In layman's terms, wishes. It's the one day of the year that Orihime and Hikoboshi - two gods, not permitted to marry, that sort of thing - can see each other, and as a result, they feel mighty generous on that day and grant wishes for mortals willing to string them up in the right way.

[In other worlds a children's holiday but she loves it]

... okay, that's what it's about, but what do we do for it?

Wishes! And fireworks, celebrations... festivals. You know, the usual fare.

Ahh, more fireworks! Does that mean we can do some fireworks three days before, too?

Hm... I guess there is the American representation to consider. So, sure, I guess.

And I think Canada Day is just before that, yeah? So we have to think about Anne!

...It is?

I didn't know there was a Canada Day, actually...

Well, it's just Canada. [... that's what they say in Bayville, anyway.]

Yeah, it is just the frozen north and apparently somewhere people transfer in the middle of the school year.

One of our ah... teachers, is from there.

So you guys are actually international, or just an immigrant?

The Professor managed to find out about me all the way in Germany. But he found everyone else in America.

[Somehow the story of a blue demon eluding capture must have made the news.]

Huh, yeah... I guess I case like yours would stick out.

[...She said forgetting that might be a crude way to put it]

That's one way to put it. [Crude yes, but not enough to bother him.]

Either way, sounds like you lucked out ultimately. Nice gig and all.

[Some might say it's debatable, but not really for Kurt.]

Definitely a good gig. There's even a pool. [And his first friends, where he gained acceptance, and lots of sentimental stuff he won't get into.] And sometimes I get to fly the jet.

Fly the- don't you need a license for that?!
