015 - At least I've got these photos...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... So, the memories we gained on Valentine's were bogus, huh? Of course, I mean... Me and Sasaki? She was a good friend and quite cute and all, but her general assertion that love was a form of illness. Of course it wasn't real. Despite any interest I may or may not have in her, there's no way she'd ever reciprocate such things. And of course, while we were in the middle of a date of all things, Haruhi just had to turn up and send things to hell. ... I'm sure that gave her a great first impression of Sasaki, huh?

I have to wonder, would it have been worth keeping those memories? All the wonderful time Sasaki and I never had as a real couple... Then again, reality is reality, better to live in real life than live in a fantasy. Regardless of how unrealistic reality may be, it's my life and I'll live it the way I want. That's why I turned down Nagato's fantasy after all, isn't it? The reason I put my life on the line to bring back the Brigade... Oh well, at least I've managed to get one of those laptops Haruhi extorted from the Computer Research Society in exchange for this nonsense. And all those photos of Miss Asahina are still there too...)

[Today, you may find Kyon sitting in the park with a laptop...]

Hmm... No internet access. Figured as much. At least all my files are still here. Not that there's a whole lot of worth considering it's almost all stuff Haruhi had me working on.

[Oh man, what are those, anyway? Chizuko has seen Japan with one and assumed it was some sort of fancy optical card viewer. She means 'files' in the most literal way. But when she sees someone she recognizes from school using one in the park, it's time to investigate. Thus a small girl is standing a polite distance away from you, Kyon.]

Excuse me...I'm sorry to disturb you, but can I ask what that is?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh, this? Just a laptop computer. They're starting to become commonplace in the 21st century.

[Chizuko thinks about that for a second and looks astonished. If she were from a more comical kind of canon her jaw would have comically extended and dropped to the ground.]

I...see. In my time, such things take up the area of a large room.

When exactly are you from, miss...?

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

Ah, forgive me. [She bows politely.] I am Chizuko Mikamo and it was nineteen fifty three when I came here...The same year it supposedly is here.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

1953, huh? Yeah, that's about half a century ago to me... Miss Mikamo, was it? You can call me Kyon, everyone else does.

(... I never really thought about it too much, but 50 years in the future is a long time. I wonder exactly how far in the future Miss Asahina came from before I met her?)

[Chizuko's natural politeness is overwhelmed by her curiosity. She leans over to look at the screen. Hope you don't have anything too embarrassing on there...]

Yoroshiku, Kyon-san. It is amazing to think whole kilo-bytse of computing power are stored in there...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Mostly just a bunch of Haruhi's crap. He wouldn't be stupid enough to be looking at pictures of Mikuru in public.]

Right, the advancement of technology is a curious thing, who knows what they might have in another 50 or 100 years?

(There's a bit more than a few kilobytes, but it's easier to not get into explanations anyway. I'm no real computer whiz, the Computer Club, or even better Nagato, would be much more well versed in explaining that I would.)
