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.

[She nods.]

Useful.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, it's nice to have a little piece of the 21st century again.

. . . [Yuki . . . sits down. Next to Kyon. She seems to be staring at the computer screen.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

You're free to use it yourself if you like. You're the one who managed to win that little competition after all.

[Holding the computer out to her slightly in case she wants to take it.]

[Yuki shifts her gaze upwards to his face. Blinks. Shifts her gaze back downwards. Pauses. Pauses. ..... Slowly reaches for the computer.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[And he passes it off with a smile.]

It's been a while since you've played with one of these, huh?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[A brief nod.

.....Then, typing. And if Kyon recalls this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myafHPvETtc) phenomena at all, he may decide to move to the side a bit to prevent Yuki's elbows from smashing into him.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(Well, I guess it's just like riding a bike, huh? Then again, Nagato's pretty adept at most things naturally. I wonder what she's doing?)

[After a few moments, Yuki stops and nods to herself. Then she hands the laptop back over to him.]

Personal messages will be conveyed through this device in the future. Please inform me if it requires maintenance.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What, like when Haruhi and I were in the Closed Space together?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[Nod.]

Phone lines are no longer to be trusted.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh? Any specific reason?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

An instance of Grady observing through filters has been demonstrated.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Right, I can see why that would be of concern.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

... Additionally, in the unlikely event that you are in need of assistance and I have not appeared, please run this program.

[Yuki gestures to one she has only just programmed in the corner.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm? What does it do?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

. . .

It is not necessary to know at this point in time.

[And if Kyon decides to run it when he isn't in mortal danger, nothing whatsoever will happen.]

As a matter of curiousity, what can I expect from it in an emergency situation?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Okay then, if you say so.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

((Aw, I wanted it to be some sort of surprise, but I'll let you know if you really want to.))

[She nods. And leans back a little. . . . Every now and then, her eyes still flick back to the computer screen.]

Well, if you really want it to be a surprise, that's fine too.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Thanks Nagato. It's good to have you looking out for me.

Eheh, sorry.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[Yuki will nod again. And open up her book. She seems content to sit silently beside him while he plays with his computer.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh, by the way, would you be interested in going to the movies or something? A friend of mine invited me and told me to ask anyone else I might want to bring along.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[Yuki looks up and simply blinks at him for a few seconds. The movies . . . ? Like the Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina . . . ?]

Do you desire my presence?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

If you want to, sure. Sha--I mean, Hirai, told me to ask anyone I'd like to bring, so...

[With Yuki, there isn't really a need to use a pseudonym. She nods slowly. Whatever that means. Maybe assent, maybe not. But if Kyon asks, she will go.]
