29th: The of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice (obv Action for House 10)]

[So Haruhi got home last night - later last night, and after looking at the bracelet she earned and putting it away, she sighed to herself and went to bed. Thus, it is the next morning after she got up to make breakfast out of some force of habit despite everything that she opens the journal to let everyone know-]

I'm back! About time too, that run a little longer than I was expecting... oh well! It was interesting, at least! Those TPs might be psychos, but they have some neat stuff, even if those pictographs don't really make any sense [she took some notes on them. She could recreate some from memory. But that's another matter] I definitely could have done without the spike pit trap again though, jeez... I even brought a fedora, expecting a classic like a giant ball or arrows in the wall, but no, all I get is some lame spike bit and a bear trap. [Both of which she avoided, but this might not be clear in context]

Well, whatever... I miss anything? Brigade! ...Everyone else! Report!

[When she hears about certain goings on she might be more excited. Like say the cultural fair or if she decides to get a Hanami up or making Miyabi her shrine. As it is though she just says this, leaves the journal open, and goes back to making breakfast.]

[godbent]

I totally rocked it, shut up.

[Yep. Cooking]

[Action]

[so_shik]

Yeah, okay, but next time don't leave without me approving your traveling outfits. [She'll just lean against the counter and watch.] So...how was it?

[Action]

[godbent]

The fedora worked, Shiki. ...But other than that, it was fine. I mean, there were some traps, but I dealt with them just fine.

[Action]

[so_shik]

What kind of traps? Like...avoidable dumb ones, or "wow that was a close call" ones?

[Action]

[godbent]

A little of both. [running her hands through her bangs... she should tie them back. Oh well] I was able to avoid them all though.

[Action]

[so_shik]

That's not the point, Haruhi. I was worried, okay? You're just...treating this so casually.

[Action]

[godbent]

[...Hah]

I'm not. I was risking my limbs out there. But if I can't show some bravado, I can't do it.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Well...you're home. So you don't have to show bravado around me, okay?

1/2

[godbent]

[...sigh]

[Action]

[godbent]

I was able to make it through, Shiki. It wasn't too much for me to handle, but I did have a few close shaves.

[Action]

[so_shik]

[She doesn't look that much more settled, but she'll have to accept it for now...right?]

Fine, fine. Just don't go anywhere else for a while if you can help it, okay?

[Action]

[godbent]

...Why not?!

[Action]

[so_shik]

Because it's stressful, okay!? Either take me with you next time, or stay here for a while.

[Action]

[godbent]

Take you?! What about your boyfriend?

[Action]

[so_shik]

...what about him? [This is serious business.]

[Action]

[godbent]

You can just ship out with me whenever?

[Action]

[so_shik]

I'm not tied to him, you know. We're not dependent on each other anymore.

[Action]

[godbent]

...The fact it's anymore reassures me so much.

[Action]

[so_shik]

...not like that! Don't you remember anything I've told you about the Game? You have to rely on your partner to keep you alive. Neku and I aren't in a Game anymore. We're...free to do our own thing, I guess.

[Action]

[godbent]

Shiki... Shiki I remember that and lived that, a little back when that one math weirdo was still around, but that doesn't change what I've observed in this house over the years.

[Action]

[so_shik]

...Minamimoto. [That's all she says for a few minutes.]

Things have changed, that's all. You haven't noticed?

[Action]

[godbent]

[...you know what, she's going to abandon breakfast in general. She leans into the counter more, crossing her arms under her chest]

Why don't you tell me about it, Shiki?

[Action]

[so_shik]

[She's just making a face, turning her attention toward breakfast.]

...do we have to do this right now? I mean you just got back and we should finish breakfast for the others. ["And I wouldn't mind stalling a little longer."]

[Action]

[godbent]

Shiki, the last time we talk-talked was when you had your your birthday. [And Haruhi knows she's a private person herself, but shiki isn't. to be honest, her anger at the whole Kyon thing is even dying down somewhat]

[Action]

[so_shik]

...tell you what. We'll make a date. Like a bff-date. [Yes, she did just say that as bee-eff-eff.] You can talk to me all you want and we'll catch up and everything will be fine, but just...not now. Is that okay?
