34th adventure

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I'm not often quite this explicit with my language, but I think it's safe to say that this situation warrants a "fuck". Or several as has been the case. Darkness, all around me, nothing but darkness... What was the last thing I just did? I went to bed, didn't I? Why haven't I woken up yet? I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm still asleep here. It'd be nice if I at least had a dream to keep me occupied here. Trying to wake up isn't any use... No matter how hard I focus, there's this odd, incredibly gross, gooey feeling that breaks my concentration. It's as if there's an active force keeping me trapped here...)

[Meanwhile... in school today, people may notice Kyon being more studious in class, or seeming more cheerful than usual...

Feel free to encounter him anywhere you might expect to see Kyon during the day, at home, in the schoolyard, the SOS Brigade clubroom, walking down the street, in the park as he'll likely greet you with a pleasant...]

Yo, nice day, huh?

[Alternatively, somewhere in town you may find an odd looking pod... Do you dare to open it up?]

Comments

[slave_of_suzumiya]

H-hey, Nagato! What's with the cold reception?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[She will pause and half-turn slowly.]

You have his memories.

You have his data.

You will know that dissemination is fruitless.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What, something come loose in that big ol' alien computer you call a brain? I'm just as much myself as I've always been.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

...

The statement just made was one that would never have been spoken aloud.

[Does pod!Kyon remember his encounter with Asakura? He may be alarmed to see that the hallway slowly seems to be losing its doors, one by one.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

H-hey, Nagato! What are you doing!?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[The space had not been placed under her jurisdiction prior to their encounter, so reprogramming the area would take some time. It would be best to continue to maintain conversation.]

Show me his location.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I already told you, I don't know what you're talking about.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

You will continue to deny what has been made known?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

There's nothing for me to deny. Perhaps it's time for you to run a diagnostic, make sure that you haven't been infected by some kind of computer virus.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Corruption of data is currently occurring.

However, this would be due to the accumulated errors that you have been informed of previously.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, it seems they've finally fried your circuits, as there's absolutely nothing different to yesterday.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

The accumulating errors may correspond with that which is termed...

Anger.

[Yuki turns her back to Kyon, simultaneously with the brief burst of light that runs down the hallway. When it passes, they stand in a featureless, rectangular area the same size and shape as where they were just standing. There is only one door. Yuki places her hand on the doorknob.]

Goodbye.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hey, hold it! What are you doing!?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

The effect will lift within an hour.

[She twists the doorknob and walks through, quietly shutting it behind her. When Kyon tries the knob, he will find that it opens into the same featureless wall that surrounds him.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hey, Nagato! Let me out, dammit!

[And he's going to pound on the wall in a most likely fruitless effort to get her to open it up again.]

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[The wall remains a wall. In the school, Yuki will slowly and quietly stalk the halls until she finds Kyon's pod.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Oh, look, here's a pod somewhere.]

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[And Yuki will simply reach down and open it with her hands.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ack! Huh? ... Eww, what the hell is this crap?

[Kyon tries to get up and wipe the goo from himself...]

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[Yuki will offer her hand.]

Aliens.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[And he'll accept the hand...]

Aliens, huh? Haruhi must be excited.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Haruhi Suzumiya is in similar danger. She must be located.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah great. Where do we start looking?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

We may find her replacement.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

And then...? Urk...

[He tries to wipe more of the goo off himself...]
