[Haruhi's bouncing back from Yuki's disappearance, and is standing in front of the camera with a small bamboo tree (probably with Kyon making that face somewhere nearby). She's also holding a large bundle of colored strips of paper, and is looking happier than ever.]So, Somarium! Today is Tanabata! Today, everyone writes down a wish or two on

[He was indeed making that look of disbelief. It's just another typical day for him.]

[Groans.]

Wait, wait, wait. We're doing this again?

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

[She just grins back at him, waving the strips of paper in his face.]

Again? It only happens once a year! C'mon, you have to participate, Kyon!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

I still have two wishes in queue from the last time and you want me to ask Orihime and Hokiboshi for another pair? That's a little selfish, don't you think?

[And pushing those strips of paper away from his face, frowning.]

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

[Now, she's frowning. What a killjoy.]

Oh, they don't mind! What else do you think they do up there? It's all about them, after all!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

[Sighs.]

I guess two more wishes won't be so bad.

'But I still think that's pushing it.'

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

Exactly! So, go ahead already!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

[Grabs two pieces of blue paper and starts to write down these wishes:

"I want to go home"

and

"I'm hoping when I do get home, it's still in one piece.]

I'll go tie these on the tree then.

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

All right! Go ahead!

[She hasn't thought of her own wishes yet... mostly because she's distracted by her broadcast, and because she has too many to choose from.]

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

Right.

[And tying them up with string. /o/ After giving his wishes a once over, he brings a finger up to one of them in order to give them a twirl.]

Think this tree is enough for the people interested making wishes?

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

I'm sure it is! If not, I'll go looking for another one.

[She gazes fondly at the little tree, and sighs contentedly.]

It's so strange, having to explain Tanabata to all of these people who've never heard of it. I don't mind, though, and they seem to really like it!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

'Something tells me I'll be the one who'll have to find Bamboo Tree Number 2...'

Well, not everyone here is from Japan, Haruhi. Plus, who's not going to like gods granting their wishes? 'Sounds like just plain old human nature to me...'

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

Everyone would like it, of course! I'm just saying!

[She's humming to herself again, flipping the pieces of paper between her fingers.]

We should celebrate more holidays around here!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

That's the funny thing about this place. It seems to be really big on holidays.

'It's the most festive alternate universe I've been to... Oh wait.'

It... changes. Halloween, Christmas. Suddenly, there's decorations everywhere.

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

Yeah, but you could always celebrate more! With so many different people from all of these interesting places, there have to be a lot more holidays that we could celebrate!

[Action]

[vetoingthatidea]

What, are we obligated to celebrate obscure holidays now?

'Like, "Take Your Parakeet to Work Day". How riveting.'

[Action]

[smirkinggoddess]

Not obligated! But, I think something like that every once in a while would spice up life around here, don't you think?
