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?]

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...]

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Then she will inform us.

[Despite speaking as softly as she usually does, there is an odd weight to Nagato's words.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Would an alien invader really be so forthcoming with that kind of information?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Voluntary admission will not be necessary.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

How do you plan to get the information from her, it, whatever, then?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Analysis of genetic residue applied to reverse time-space oscillatory asynchronization.

[Translation: tracking her movements throughout the day through necessary shedding of DNA.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Any chance of putting that in terms I can understand?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

...Her path will be traced.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I see...

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Come.

...Your duplicate will be freed soon.
