36th "Oh shit..."

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Today, Kyon has encountered Yuki Nagato who is a lot more lively than usual. ... However, her eyes are dead. The bright spark behind that unreadable mask was gone, leaving nothing but an empty shell behind.]

No... Nagato... It can't be...

Uh... It's Kokutou. Yuki Kokutou, remember? Are you feeling okay?

Just go away!

[A: And Kyon'll leave school, running through the halls. He's not really looking where he's going so he might run into you.]

[B: Upon reaching home at 915 Bilko Boulevard, he'll boot up both his desktop computer and laptop simultaneously and attempt to open a certain program...]

No, no, no, no... Respond dammit!! Ugh...

[And he'll slam his head into the desk.]

[Later, outside the library he may be found...

C: Shouting and beating his fists on the wall.

D: Sitting slumped against the wall, completely despondent, his hands scraped and bleeding...]

... Why her? Why!? Nagato...

(The injured hands definitely catch her attention. Tara immediately runs towards him, worried.)

A-are you ok!? You need to see a doctor!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... It doesn't matter. None of it matters...

[forgotten-titan.livejournal.com]

Don't say that! You look really hurt. Come on, let's go find a real teacher or something, I think the nurse at the infirmary's not real.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

A year, it's been a whole year now... Probably closer to three for her... And she's gone... You never appreciate it until it's gone... What if something ends up happening again? It's only a matter of time...

[He barely acknowledges Tara's presence... He seems to be a tad shellshocked here.]

[forgotten-titan.livejournal.com]

Who's gone? Hey, can you hear me?

(She's going to shake him a bit now. She's really worried that he's gone off his rocker or something.)

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Okay, she'll get a bit more acknowledgement with his next reply...]

... Sorry, it's just, she's saved my life so many times, I've lost count. I never thought she'd ever really be gone...

[forgotten-titan.livejournal.com]

It's ok. What happened to her?

(She's going to try and pull him up so she can take him to the hospital or something. Maybe there's a doctor there who can help.)

[[Seeing Kyon run past, Aaron follows.

Screw school, the look on Kyon's face was terrible.

Aaron's fast, so he's attempting to outrun Kyon. Having better luck after they get out of school.]]

Kyon!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[As Aaron catches up, Kyon manages to trip up before acknowledging him. As he picks himself off the ground he'll reply...]

Aaron... It's Nagato, she's gone.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He heard.

Nodding his head.]]

I'm sorry.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

She was... I could always rely on her when things fell into shit...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He really did not know what to say to that. She was something else, and now...]]

Then it's up to us.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Heh, me? I'll never be able to handle the kinds of things she could.

D: Sitting slumped against the wall, completely despondent, his hands scraped and bleeding...]

[ Garviel was outside the library, on his way to talk to Dist. This halts him. ]

What has happened? [ Asks a huge figure, casting Kyon in shadow. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... It doesn't matter. What's gone is gone.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

There is truth in that. What matters is those that remain carry on, that we continue to resist this prison. [ He removes his helmet, crossing to the side of the small human. ]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, sure... That's easy for people who are alien data entities, or Flame Hazes or Time Lords... But what about the average Joe?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

You fight back too. That's the most important thing of all. [ He kneels by Kyon, eye to eye with him ]

Where I am from.... it is humans that rule the galaxy. Not aliens, or Flame Hazes, or time lords. Because we understand the truth. Because we are willing to live on, to not give in to despair. Humanity created me. And I defend it. But... Humanity is strong enough to overcome, even here. But you must have faith.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I suppose... [Sigh...]

A; i couldn't decide whether to pick this or D..

[Oh, look: a wild Haruhi appeared!]

- Kyon!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Haruhi.

[secretgod.livejournal.com]

Why are you in such a rush? You're not planning on skipping club today, are you?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What club? Three was already pushing it, but two members?

[secretgod.livejournal.com]

Two... ? [Haruhi at this point is confused. There were four members. And she was planning on recruiting more eventually.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, Koizumi and Asahina aren't here. With Nagato gone now...
