012 - And now, a public service announcement.

... So, Haruhi's here now.

If you don't want to be involved in any ridiculous nonsense, I suggest you stay away from her. She has a tendency of leaving a trail of destruction in her path, not entirely unlike a typhoon.

(... I suppose it'd be a lie to say that I'm not entirely displeased to see her again though.)

[He fell for the girl that stuck a boxcutter in his mouth so don't even get him started :(]

I guess she's someone you know from back home?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, unfortunately I know her pretty well.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. She's the type you just can't leave alone anyway?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess you could say that.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Then congratulations.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

H-hold it, what do you mean by that!?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You must be happy to have her here with you, right?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?

(... Regardless of the fact that there may be at least some truth to it.)

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Intuition.

[shared experience.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I see.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You aren't denying it, you know. Usually at this point you should be vehemently saying its not true.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

By this point, I've protested enough that it isn't even worth the effort anymore.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

If you ask me, you're just skirting the issue.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Think whatever you like then.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Gave up easy, didn't you?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

As I said, it's not worth the effort.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

I guess I can agree with that. People'll think whatever they want; you can't really do a thing about it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Exactly, if they're gonna think what they're thinking anyway, there's no point trying to change their mind.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

That's rather defeatist though, isn't it? Sometimes you've gotta try anyway. The effort has a meaning of its own.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

If I spend my time worrying about the little things, I won't be able to try and keep Haruhi under control when she does something really stupid.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Why's it your job to do that anyway...?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Because she won't listen to reason from anyone else? Not that she ever seems to listen to my reason either, but still...

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

How responsible of you.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Well then, good luck. I guess you'll need it.
