020 - About damn time...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Okay, so that giant robot is gone now? ... Is it safe to come out again now? Also, the power seems to be coming and going a bit... anyone know what's up with that?

Oh well, hopefully things will start to quiet down again for a while...

Really? I thought it was kind of interesting. But I've always had a weakness for giant robots... not quite what I imagined though, but I'll take it anyway.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Maybe if it didn't go on a rampage and put everyone in danger I'd be more impressed?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You need a little danger in your life to spice things up.

[this tone is very, very dry... yeah, he more or less agrees with you, and is just arguing rather sarcastically.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I prefer my danger to be of the variety of "You might get hit by a car if you don't look both ways before crossing the street.", anything beyond that is a little over the top.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

This just added one more dimension. "Look up or you might get stomped on by a giant robot."

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I don't need extra dimensions increasing my danger.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Well... pretty sure there was no need to look out for cars while that thing was rampaging, I don't think many people were going on joy rides at the time. So instead of having to look in two directions, you only had to look in one.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, sure. But at least cars are mostly restricted to staying in the street.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but...

Okay, this is stupid, I can't keep this up anymore. Milk robot was ridiculously dangerous and we're both glad it's gone. Case closed.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The whole thing was pretty ridiculous even by this town's standards, and that's saying something.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'm not very satisfied gaining ground on Mayfield by beating such a weird thing. Not really the way I imagined things going down.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm not sure it's the way anyone imagined things going down.

(I bet even someone as out there as Haruhi would have been thrown for a loop by this!)

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

But at least its progress... I think?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well if we're still not progressing after that, then we're pretty much stuffed, aren't we?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

So it wasn't all for not. Our poor brave companions who fell against the menacing threat of the milkman mech didn't die for nothing...

Wow that sounds ridiculous to say out loud.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I've hear that neither the postman or milkman have returned since dying as far as anyone knows. Odd considering how things tend to work in this place.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

So their numbers are actually thinning out, huh? Never would have imagined those guys could be beaten for good.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, just because no one has seen them, doesn't necessarily mean they're gone for good either. They could simply be laying low to foster a false sense of security for all we know.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

...wow, that's an unsettling though. So they could just be creeping around, hiding in the bushes or something waiting to pop up and scare us when we least expect it.

I can kind of see it happening, too.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, this town does tend to enjoy springing these things on us when we least expect them after all...

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Guess I'll just have to be on my guard at all times. Wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction of getting the jump on me.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Being on constant guard for things generally tends to help lessen the blow when these surprises come. Not that it's any use in actually figuring out how to handle them.

(... Y'know, I think being in Haruhi's Brigade has actually somehow prepared me for all eventualities. Who would have thought it'd come in handy like that?)

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

True, even if I saw them coming... there's really nothing I could against those guys, haha. Makes everything seem kind of useless.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess the key is to keep your eyes open and be prepared to duck and cover at a moment's notice?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Alright, that's Plan A. What's my contingency plan if that doesn't work and they're still there after I duck?
