25th: The Defense of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice]

Okay, so listen up, everyone. There's a new girl in town who I want you all to recognize and keep something in mind when dealing with her!

[And then to the book, she holds up a picture of Mikuru (tpdd). Taken with the journal and ripped out - namely, it's just her making tea in a cute pink yukata. Something simple and non-invasive for the time being]

This is her - Mikuru Asahina. She's cute, right? Of course she is!


[And then this face]

If any of you guys are harassing her or hitting on her or whatever and I hear about it I'm reserving the right to pepper stray or taser you. You got that? I'm serious too, don't you doubt that for a second.

[...Okay no with that done with back to smiling! She laughs where briefly before-]

Now! If you want to see her or you just want to helped out - particularly all you New Feathers, bonus points if you have something interesting to show us - recall that the SOS-Brigade is open to taking requests even now. Now that the holidays are over and the winters settling in on us, now's the prime time to do it! Got some stuff which needs investigating? Some emotions you can't deal with, some other inane task we can mend when it comes to interpersonal issues?! Sign right up! the HQ's right in the center of town, you can't miss it.

[... Hm. Yeah that should do it Request post for the Brigade is here, just recall!]

-And for today anyone coming to see Mikuru I'm screening first.

[EDIT: For the record if anyone wants action threads with Mikuru (or Haruhi! or both!) for whatever reason both are at the HQ right now.]

[emp3thy]

I know. [it's the principle.]

[godbent]

Well at least you know that.

[emp3thy]

[...]

Haruhi, what's wrong?

[godbent]

N...nothing. In particular.

[emp3thy]

And not in particular?

[godbent]

Who... said you get to know something like that?!

[emp3thy]

[...why is she so cute when she's flustered.]

You threw a rock at my window.

[godbent]

It's not like I broke it!

[emp3thy]

Because I woke up.

[godbent]

That's an irrelevant detail. It's not like I was pitching a fast ball or anything.

[She folds her arms, hmph. Fine, ruin the fire thing!]

...So what, you're saying I can trust you? You're slippery, Arisato.

[emp3thy]

Of course you can. ['Slippery'? Where do you get that idea....]

[godbent]

[He eyes narrow. She doesn't mean this generally, it's for a very specific point]

And Kyon's told you nothing?

[emp3thy]

He just asked me questions.

[but her actions have succeeded in making him want to direct this the other way...]

[godbent]

Uh...huh.

[She bites her lip before it devolves into a full blown pout. It's disgusting that she's doing with with Minato of all people]

[emp3thy]

Should he have said something?

[godbent]

No-!

[Though the implication there is he should have not said things]

[emp3thy]

But he did to someone else?

[yep he got that one.]

[godbent]

W-why do you always jump to conclusions like that! Moron!

[Yes]

[emp3thy]

It's called 'inferring.'

1/2

[godbent]

[ ... ]

[godbent]

Fine. He did.

[emp3thy]

And you're upset?

[he's deathly curious but she probably already knows that...]

[godbent]

Do I need to spell everything out?

[emp3thy]

[....] You just got mad for not making you.

[godbent]

...Shut up.
