Asahina-san...I'm sorry I said those things the other day.

I was doing a lot of thinking recently, about my life here, and the mysterious life that I had before. You know what I think? Anything can happen. Really, I mean it; who knows what can happen from one day to the next. Maybe that's part of why this place exists. I don't know why I had to be transported across dimensions and live among catboys and magical girls to learn that lesson, but there's nothing to be said about it. In the end, we shouldn't be bogged down by what might've happened in the past, otherwise we won't have an exciting new future waiting for us.

I don't know why, but I feel as if...she...was trying for something like that. *shrugs* I could be wrong.

Let's do a double-date, you and Trunks, and Haruhi and I. We can talk about what's behind us, or what's ahead of us; just as long as we're taking advantage of the moment we're in now.

[Private, unhackable]

Can you see us?

Are you happy? Or are you still waiting for what's going to happen next? Either way, I know exactly what I want now.

I'll embrace both lives. With my two hands.

[Filter to Haruhi]

*ponders while stroking his chin...and then reaches forward and places a Knight two and one spaces away from Haruhi's King* ....Checkmate. *sits back, looking pleased with himself*

((I'm going to drop Kyon after any threads that start here are done, so I'd sayyyyyy 5 days from now at the most? BUT! Please RP as if Haruhi and Kyon did in fact both disappear at around the same time, kthx))

...Nagato...

*has been really lost in thought recently, doesn't want to do study groups or play with Rika or Suzaku or anything, also doesn't eat much at dinner, and his side of the room has really been getting to be a pig-sty*

[Private, unhackable]

...

*suddenly (BAM!) violently kicks the door frame of his room when he came straight home from school one of these days (again, without going home with Haruhi like he used to more often) - he then kinda shrinks and glances left and right nervously, though, afraid that that might've been a little loud, doesn't want to get yelled at, he ducks into his room quickly, glad that Suzaku wasn't home at that moment*

( There must be some way to prove it )

[Private I guess? Filtered to Haruhi?]

*during her studies, Haruhi will find a bookmark in one of her textbooks that she doesn't remember ever putting there - it reads as follows:*

Meet me outside the apartment when you're finished. -Kyon

*if she goes there, she will find Kyon sitting on a bench in front of the apartments*

((who knows how late it'll be when she finally manages to happen across the bookmark! 8O mods, please subtract $1,600 for...something. it's a surprise ufufufu hope that's okay))

[Filter to Suzaku]

Hey, Suzaku. *suddenly throws the basketball to him to catch* ...Weather's better, wouldn't you say? Maybe Arthur ((mun just found out that Suzaku bought a cat like 2 or 3 months ago, lol, i am SO ATTENTIVE >>;;;;;)) will learn to like you more if you get out of the room more. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", that kind of thing, right?

[Private, rather unhackable]

Nagato Yuki. Mysterious human interface created by aliens. I shouldn't be able to believe it, but...I'm finding that I can. Somehow, I feel like there's something wrong with that. Why is it so easy for me to grasp something like that? Sure, I always thought Nagato was a little on the strange side... okay, maybe so far on the strange side that you couldn't see her well =_=;;... But still. I'm human. There's nothing special about me. And yet, I have no doubt that Nagato is what she says she is, what she's remembered she is.

What kind of place have I come to, that I can do that?

Is all of this a dream? I'm not old enough yet to call myself a real philosopher, but I find my mind being occupied by those kinds of thoughts these days, when nothing chaotic is going on to distract me. How did it come to be that Haruhi and I met? Fate? Chance? I know that whichever one it was, I'm glad that it happened.

...I'm glad...

....

What kind of life is still in the shadows of my mind, I wonder. How should I be feeling about it...and to what lengths should I be attached to it.

[Filter to Haruhi]

Ah... One got on you. *reaches over and picks a fallen sakura petal from Haruhi's hair*

((Even though nothing here is public, feel free to comment anyway, of course. Kyon works at the onsen as a janitor, and goes to classes at school, and rooms with Suzaku~ I bet at least one of the new folks could bump into him somewhere :3))

What is this... This feeling of power? *looks down in awe at his two hands and flexes the fingers* ...This feeling...

*looks around at his classmates*

*suddenly a gust of wind blows through (FROM. A WINDOW. THAT DOESN'T EXIST) and all their skirts go WEEEEE*

((Have a Haruhi!Kyon who actually knows his powers))

Is it still safe to go to school? Maybe we should go in groups or something. I hope the younger kids have--

Ah-- ...You're kidding. I have a younger sister? ... I really feel bad, not remembering her all this time. I hope she's doing all right without me.

[Private]

Familiar-related guilt aside, the week-and-some-odd-days of being stuck to Haruhi has finally come to an end. I can't come up with the words that describe how conflicted I feel about this whole thing. I didn't peek ONCE. That was the right thing to do, after all, right?

Yes. You can stop raising your eyebrows at me now.

[Filter to Haruhi]

*not long after they got unstuck, experimentally tried taking her hand again, not saying anything*

[Filter to Nagato]

I remembered you telling me...everything. About you being...what was it, a "A Humanoid Interface for communication with humans" or something? Basically you said that you were...

You are...an alien.

S-sounds crazy, doesn't it? *unsure grin?*

When you really think about it, it's really not so heart-attack-inducing, being stuck to your fairly-new girlfriend 24 hours a day for a week. The bed contraption that the robot guy installed on Haruhi's bed works just great, and this way I don't have to sleep on the ground. After the first few times I was able to finally get used to sitting outside the shower while Haruhi...well, showered, and visa versa. I think you just have to distract yourself.

That's easy enough.

...

WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDING. This is bad for my heart. It'd almost be EASIER if Haruhi were the more easily-embarrassed type, but she doesn't make a single complaint about any of this! Even when I'm holding her hand when she's completely...! And when I'm completely...!

Ugh...*red faced*

This is bad for my heart.

[Filter to Haruhi]

S-so, you sure you're sleeping okay, Haruhi? I have no idea if I snore or anything, Suzaku-san never complains at all about that kind of thing, and I don't remember what my sleeping habits are.

[Public]

Some of the teachers got stuck, too... It sort of makes me feel better about having to go to class like this. =_=

((Haruhi and Kyon have been sleeping in Haruhi's room, just to clarify.))

[Private]

Why *did* she lock the door, anyway?

So, Asahina-san was dragged into the SOS Brigade, literally, by our dear brigade leader, Haruhi Suzumiya. Things were strange for the whole day, but they just kept making me more and more uncomfortable. For example: you don't molest a girl's boobs in public just to make a point about 'moe' or who knows what Suzumiya was talking about. *sigh*

But the next weird thing was something unrelated to our brigade leader; I could swear I saw Asahina-san look over and recognize Nagato. I can't figure out what that was about at all. Whatever it was, it was enough to convince the poor girl to join the team.

I wonder if she'd know if I asked her now.

[Filter to Mikuru]

Hey, I remembered something about you, today. It's not much, but...

*looks at himself in a mirror*

*facepalms*

((2% memories regained))

[[Because Ayame stinks, here is a list of presents that Kyon gave, but didn't put under the tree, he just gave them in person:

For Haruhi - Tickets to the next performance at the theater place they went to before, and a really nice-looking scarf
For Mikuru - A tea mug with a cute animal design on it
For Yuki - A spiffy new book bag
For Rika - A kitty stuffed animal, a little over half Rika's size (we can say he got this for her after he got the kitty plushie from her, and that's how he got the idea)
For Suzaku - A basketball

Respond to gifts here-- Especially you, Suzaku! Kyon has PLANS.

EDIT:: shitSorry, I forgot about the moneys! $200, mods! 83;;;]]

Haruhi is my girlfriend. She's my girlfriend. I have a girlfriend named Haruhi. I am Haruhi's boyfriend. I'm her boyfriend and she's my girlfriend. We are going out.

Right. So that's enough of that, now.

...No reason to tell anyone, really. Somehow I feel like I should take that kind of thing slow. I bet Haruhi is still feeling a little weird about this whole thing. It'd be best to respect that.

Honestly, though, who would I tell?

...

Ah.

[Filter to Mikuru]

Asahina-san? I wanted to talk to you, is that all right?

Anybody want to organize a study group for finals, or something? It might be worth it. That, and studying alone is getting boring.
