38th sigh

[sosnarrator]

[Kyon has been kicked up into a furore over this latest event, however having hit a wall almost immediately, you may find him sitting on a park bench musing to himself...]... Man, I really am hopeless on my own, huh? I decide that I have to go and investigate this mess, yet I haven't the slightest clue where to start. It'd sure be useful if I had

Comments

Leaving a placeholder for now, I'll tag tomorrow? Good night!

[forgotten_titan]

Kyon!!

(Tara runs up to him, panic etched across her face. When she finally reaches him, she has to take a few minutes to get her breath back. But when she does, she asks:)

Did you...did you hear the announcement this morning?

[sosnarrator]

Oh, hey Tara! Yeah, problem is, I'm not entirely sure what I should do about it...

[forgotten_titan]

I know...I mean, it's not like we can go and demand the town to give them back. And I don't think they'd listen if we tried.

[sosnarrator]

Right, yeah...

[forgotten_titan]

...do you think this is like a mass-"droning"? Maybe everyone will get back to normal, like that Thanksgiving thing we had last month.

[sosnarrator]

I dunno... It'd be nice if that's all it was.

[forgotten_titan]

Did you...did you lose someone?

[sosnarrator]

Yeah, Haruhi is gone...

[forgotten_titan]

I'm sorry Kyon. If...if there's anything I can do...

[sosnarrator]

What is there to be done? It's not like just wishing is going to bring her back.

[forgotten_titan]

But we can't just give up either. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to let this town get to me. Maybe there's nothing we can do...but we can at least try and investigate this, right? That's what the SOS Brigade is for!

[sosnarrator]

Well, yeah. But where do we start? I mean, we're don't exactly have much in the way of leads.

[forgotten_titan]

Umm, well...

(She starts thinking, pacing around as she does. To be honest, she can't think of anything either. But she doesn't want to see Kyon so sad; he was already so upset over Yuki, and Haruhi seems important to him. They should at least find something to take their minds off this whole mess.)

What about the big Christmas tree? It all started when it first came up. Maybe we can find some clues there.

[sosnarrator]

It's a long shot... But I guess it couldn't hurt to check.

[forgotten_titan]

Yeah, let's go Kyon!

(Trying to turn up the cheerfulness level here. When they do get to the Christmas Tree, Tara looks up at the whole thing in awe.)

I wonder how they got that one up so fast.

[sosnarrator]

Who knows? They seem to have a knack at making things turn up suddenly here. ... Or disappear.
