I don't know how many of you have heard, but these are the members of my SOS-Brigade, and our new purpose right now is to help out those of you who need help, answering your "SOS." Your lives must have problems, right, particularly after the sort of things we have to go through. Just come to the Brigade HQ and see how we can solve your things. Bonus points if it's something interesting too.

[Yeah, that'll do. She was just doing this to give herself something to do right now anyway. Why it's written, not voiced]

How many of you are looking to make new friends? Or getting to know a hot chick or an attractive guy?

[Action]

[In light of everything, Haruhi has been feeling more than a little nostalgic. Back at North high, during the start of the year and the cultural festival in November she dressed up in a certain outfit in order to attract attention. It's sort of too cold to wear it for advertisement like she used to, but it doesn't breathe at all so if she's inside and has a coat handy she ought to be okay...

Thus, in Seventh Heaven today Haruhi is here to have lunch and tea dressed like this. Yes, it's outlandish, but deal with it. (sorry no guitar though) Her journal is next to her. Feel free to notice or talk with her]

Well, obviously you lead off with that even if it's obvious, go on to apologize, and then make things more sensible between the two of you. Beyond that, it's a personal matter so just use your-

heart?

I don't think making things sensible between us two is a good idea though. I'll try it anyway.

Why wouldn't it be? Keeping things sensible between friends is common sense. If you can't do that, how are you even friends?

I didn't say I can't do it, only that it may not be a good idea if I don't express myself correctly.

I can understand that, but expressing nothing won't get you anywhere. humans thrive on movement, after all.

I suppose it won't... It has lead me to this mess after all. Any other tips?

Just remember to respect the other party. If you're friends and keep the rest of that it ought to be fine.

I'll do that. If she takes it wrong I'll blame you, though. Just a warning.

[No then your'e stupid. there's a pause before]

Well whatever. I'll help you on phase 2 then

[No, then it'll be your fault because you didn't give him proper advice to apologize to you.]

Thanks, then. I'll keep you updated.

[Not that he will need to. Now... How to find the proper timing for this?]

[GOOD. No need to reply to that but she'll smile to herself at a job well done]

[Honestly, he's not sure he'll ever find the perfect timing... And he doesn't want to keep this dragging or he will start being an idiot again. So Keiichi spends his afternoon searching low and high for Haruhi in every place. Will she still be at the Seventh Heaven?]

[In the early afternoon? Oh yeah. It turns out that the relative warmth in here makes her reluctant to leave in her admittedly chilly bunny outfit. Even if it's right next door she needs to go to change. so, given no one else is using it, she's busying herself with messing around on the pianoin her bunny suit]

[Keiichi just stops upon entering and noticing her there, dressing like that. Do you like to make his live harder or what? He's not checking her out, for the record.]

[Of course not bro. Of course not. She's just humming, not noticing him]

[He finally approaches, slowly.]

Tell me you brought a good coat with you so you don't freeze.

The HQ's like right next door.

[but she says this without looking up, failing to get it was Keiichi. when she does get that she flips her legs off the table and leans over to look at him better. eye contact!!]

[Eye contact get. It's a good way to not pay attention to what she's wearing. Problem is... It makes his mouth go dry and his mind to draw a blank and hesitate. He gaps for a moment, looking like a fish before his voice finally comes out.]

IamsorryIwassuchanidiotIhavenoexcuseIwaswrongpleaseforgivemeanddonnothateme.

[Breathing and pausing between words, what's that.]

...I got "I am"

... Only?

[If you had just got up to the third word at least...]

The other part sort of sounded like "saurian pedophile air show?"

... Go get your hearing checked, Haruhi. I've no idea how what I said could sound like that.

[Still, he takes a deep breath and looks at her eyes directly.]

I'm sorry. I was wrong and I was a huge idiot who has no excuse for what he did.

[...Blink]

...Yeah, okay.

[... He's going to keep the eye contact, apparently expecting something. Punishment from above or something?]

[...

...

...]

So why were you stupid?
