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]

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!

[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.

Many people here still seem to believe that they are, though. I can't believe that they are really trying to find a way so everyone gets back to their worlds, but it really doesn't make sense even if that's indeed a lie, that they would be bringing people here. One would think if they were they would be more picky about the subjects.

[godbent]

Nah, I believe the original objective was that at least.

[breaks_destiny]

I suppose a part of the organization still has it.

[If they are to believe the way things seem to be within the organization, that is.]

[godbent]

Possibly. Either way, their self-interests - some of which would be going home, of course - are also a factor.

[breaks_destiny]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[He nods.]

[godbent]

Exactly.

[And she rolls her eyes. See? Simple and basic.]

[breaks_destiny]

If only everything was so simple... I have a question. About him.

[Him being Kyon, obviously.]

[godbent]

Yeah, what?

[breaks_destiny]

I know Yuki... She was here before after all. But has she been the only one? Was he here ever before and doesn't remember?

[godbent]

[ ... ]

In my memory, he was only here once before. But I guess in your memory, there would be other instances of him being here, yeah.

[breaks_destiny]

I don't really remember him being here before, though.

[Trying to remember.]

[godbent]

He's been here - ... The version of events you have see Yuki being here once, "me" being here two or so times, and Kyon being here twice before.

[She thinks it was twice. The memories get so hazy.]

[breaks_destiny]

Hmm... Was it this hard back then as well? That you can remember.

[godbent]

Well... No. Way back then, it was just the two of us. We arrived at like the same time.

[breaks_destiny]

Ah... How long was he here that time?

[godbent]

Long enough.

[I loved him.]

This is ancient history, anyway. Besides, if you were even here then, that time he would have been a girl for you, right?

[breaks_destiny]

Uh? Based in the fact that you were a boy? But maybe he could have been still a boy for me as well. I mean, Nagato was a girl for you back home as well, right?

[He remembers her, that girl often reading and rarely showing emotions. She and that boy/girl/whatever with the hood seemed to get along well from what he remembers.]

[godbent]

She wasn't here. A male version of her was.

[In Haruhi's memories]

[breaks_destiny]

[... Okay...]

Okay, then probably he was a girl back then. Because I'm pretty sure Nagato was a girl and not a trap.

[godbent]

I just said that. [NNNGH]

[breaks_destiny]

Sorry, sorry. This is a mess, okay? I mean, I can hardly even make a difference anymore in my memories about you being a guy or a girl, there are differences but... Suzumiya is Suzumiya and a great friend either way so...

[It doesn't really matter to him? Something like that.]

And who knows, maybe the memories just didn't match regarding you and not regarding everyone else ever from your school.

[godbent]

That's probably a sound conclusion, yeah. [which means... that "Haruki" only ever experienced someone from his world once too. She can't help but feel bad for him for a brief moment]
