godbent | 24th: The Jocundity of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Filtered to the SOS-Brigade // 90% Unhackable]

As some of you probably noticed by now, Mikage's gone. [a beat] ...What this means is that the Deputy Vice Chief position is now vacant, and in addition to this we have Christmas coming up - New Years too. Winter Holidays! In light of those two facts, I'm proposing a simple solution! In addition to the existing projects we have - the Friendship Club from our trainee member and Operation Hydra Social with Oswald and his buttmonkey - that the show we're going to put on for Christmas be a trial for all of you! The one who shows the most promise will get the esteemed promotion to Deputy Vice Chief!

What exactly we'll be doing is to be discussed at the next meeting, but keep this in mind.

[See: here for further and OOC discussion]

[Open Voice]

Luceti, listen up! In this Holiday Season we're coming into now, no doubt there'll be even more parties and such than what has already happened and no doubt the Organization will throw something at us too. However, I want you all to bear in mind that there is an outlet for whatever complications you run into as a result of all this: the legendary SOS-Brigade. Like always, come to our HQ if you have any problems, particularly if they're interesting.

[Take that, Angel]

Besides this... If you want to join our ranks, you can apply there as well. Furthermore, keep your eyes peeled for something way more impressive than our efforts last year.

Haruhi, over and out!

[...] But hey, for any of you who don't know, Winry's birthday is on the eleventh. [A beat] She's been sick for a while now, and I don't know if she'll be 100% by then, so we're not going to do some huge party, but if you're her friend you better still get her gifts! Nice, thoughtful things!

[Filtered from Kyon // 90% Unhackable]

[And then this has been bugging her for a while. Seeking insight from the whole village - her, the leader of the SOS-Brigade - would be disgusting. But she can at least get one thing out of the way here]

If you happen to - [...She was going to introduce everyone to him as "Kyon" to make sure he has no chance to reclaim his name. She remembers doing something similar in Luceti, years ago, the last time Kyon was here. But the moment she starts, her heart isn't in it] ... You know what, forget it. Whatever.

It's more than that. You can feel it - the "Haruhi" he knows isn't even a "Haruhi" that I've ever been.

[This feels like a subject they've touched on before... so he'll treat it gently.]

You're still Haruhi.

That's dodging the point, don't be stupid.

[he shakes his head.]

Haruhi Suzumiya is Haruhi Suzumiya. Even with different memories.

That's not true and you know it.

You get hit and have amnesia. Are you not yourself anymore?

Of course you're not, how could you be?

You have the same genes and the same soul.

And you have most of the same experiences.

That's not quite irrelevant, but it doesn't change anything. Like I said with Rena, if she came back again with no memories, she is not the "Rena Ryuuguu" I knew. She's "Rena Ryuuguu" but not the same one.

I can't agree.

[but that's where he stops.]

I know.

[anyway.]

Many people have friends here from their futures, Haruhi.

Yeah, I'm sure they do.

What if he were from your past?

Then... then what? He'd be from my past.

Would he be 'your' Kyon?

...Kyon isn't my anything! He's just- well I guess he's my minion but- no!

And if you leave, you'll forget and become the "Haruhi" he knows... even if you remember when you come back.

If I remember when I come back, there's a continuity between the "me" now and the "me" then. Even with additional experiences, that fits. I'm different then than now, yes, but it's a less dubious connection than to something I've never experienced at all.

But you will experience it.

No, a Haruhi without my experiences will.

You'll go home and live it. And if you come back here, you'll remember it and Luceti both.

And the preference is that I don't. Don't complicate the situation.

You want to stay?

No, you idiot. Don't you get it? [WHAT DOES NO ONE GET IT] There's only one solution.
