second: video + action

[abnormalies]

All right, listen up! [ When the mirror unfolds, it reveals an excited Haruhi. Hands on her hips, and a big grin in place, she is set just before a mistletoe. Next to her is the sign, "A surprise will come if all the berries fall!" She points directly at it. ] We're not gonna find out the surprise if we don't all work together! There's too many

[Mami grits her teeth, her smile a brittle, distracted thing. She attempts to clear a wide berth around Haruhi as she passes.]

Yes, miss, I'm well aware of the mistletoe....but I doubt any "surprise" is worth being stuck under them.

[She's already been boxed into several makeouts, forgive her for being a bit on edge.]

Why? Do octopuses fall out and eat your brain? [ .. That prospect excites her more, actually. ]

You don't seem to be taking this seriously, huh? ....no, you're forced to kiss your companion.

[And her cheeks burn, much to her frustrated irritation, her composure but broken strings she's trying desperately to control. Even Mami's lips tingle, as if her own body is mocking her.]

[abnormalies]

Of course I'm taking this seriously! [ She crosses her arms, turning her nose up from Mami; naturally, she takes this in the wrongest way possible. ] I made a stupid post to the stupid network, or whatever you call it, didn't I? Why wouldn't I take this seriousl-- [ And then the second part:

"....no, you're forced to kiss your companion."

... Well, that's a complete and utter let-down. She recalls, momentarily, that one dream she had. Her eyebrow twitches, then the corner of her mouth, and then she explodes: ]

Well, I'm not kissing anyone, so you guys better get to work!

[notvitiligo]

I think you missed the part about what's in it for us.

[abnormalies]

A surprise. Duh.

[notvitiligo]

My general experience here has been that the surprises tend to be kind of pointless at best, and dangerous at worst.

[abnormalies]

Your experience, with emphasis on the 'your'. [ Arms folded and a cocky tone of voice, ] Dangerous sounds fun. This place is crawling with opportunities for weird and fun stuff! I bet it's something awesome.

[Yuki had been trying her best to avoid kissing anyone, if only because she was saving that honor for a special someone. Due to this fact, she presently addressing Haruhi from a safe distance.]

I'm glad your happy, Haruhi-san. But, I'm not sure this is the best thing to be be supporting...

[action]

[abnormalies]

Of course it is. Something interesting will happen! Don't you want to know what the surprise is? [ She does know how to make the berries fall, now, but... Well, you can still boss people around while avoiding doing things yourself. ]

[snowboundheart]

No...Not really. Everything the Queen has done while I've been here has turned out badly in the end.

[action]

[abnormalies]

But I bet they were interesting. As long it as it's interesting and not boring, it's worth it. It's just making some berries fall, anyway, what's the harm?

[is_a_good_girl]

No way! I'm done with this!

[abnormalies]

What? You accidentally kiss one of the cats or something?

[is_a_good_girl]

No!

It's just awkward, okay?!

[abnormalies]

It's only awkward if you make it awkward!

[bluetruths]

You're pretty brave, aren't you? Ihihihihi. Well, count me in. The more we figure out what we can about this stuff, the better.

[abnormalies]

[ FINALLY!!!! ]

It's not about bravery, this is just really exciting!! It's really interesting, I can't wait, I can't wait!

[bluetruths]

... Ya'know. An attitude like that doesn't normally lead to anything good. [ SHE SHOULD KNOW.......... stupid witches ]

[abnormalies]

Better than nothing at all. Sitting around and doing nothing is boring.
