Time 001 - Lost maid is lost

[timeshiftermaid]

[A very pretty girl lies on the floor of what seems to be a corridor, apparently unconscious. Every once in a while her whole body jerks with small shivers.]

“Urgh … ugh … uhuuu …”

[Slowly the girl seems to wake up from her fainted position, opening her eyes to her surroundings and rubbing them after sitting upright. She wears an orange suit far too

[sos_chorus]

And then, for one brief second, my heart positively soared with joy at seeing the angel of the SOS Brigade here!

....Before it plummeted at the realization we're all in some very real danger here! Not the least of which could be what happens when Haruhi finds out about her!

Miss Asahina? It's me!

[timeshiftermaid]

[Mikuru looks startled at first but then tears built up in her eyes]

Kyon-kun! Y-You recognize me?
I-I am so glad ...

[sos_chorus]

[He's going to hide his burned hand behind his back. Doesn't want her to worry.]

Of course I would! Why wouldn't I? Perish the thought I ever could!

[timeshiftermaid]

I-I ... Oliver-san mentioned something about ... either you or Haruhi coming from a different time-space-plate than I do and ...
I was so worried!

Is Suzumiya-san fine, too? Where are the two of you?

[sos_chorus]

Of course someone as kind and sweet as Miss Asahina would be worried. It's only in her nature after all! Ahhh! I can already taste how delicious her tea is. That little bit of home will be welcom--oh, wait.

Business, [Name censored]. Business first. She's los and confused. You have to help her acclimate.

Yeah, Haruhi isn't from the same dimension we are. It's.... complicated. I'll tell you in private so we can be sure of a few things. I don't know where Haruhi is right now, but I'm sure she's fine.

I should go check on her, though. Everyone's acting really weird right now and I hope she didn't get burned, too.

Sorry, but I need to check: do the terms TPDD and SOS Brigade mean anything to you?

[timeshiftermaid]

I understand. That's ... a pity ...
But the two of you get along don't you and-? [She quiets her voice down into a whisper]
Do ... do you know if she ... still has her powers?

Both of them I do ...
Do I need to explain them or ...?
I have to admit that I ... I think I lost the first one again ...

[sos_chorus]

[Shakes his head in response to the first question. He has a feeling that if she did a lot of things on her own world would be very different right now.]

And I'm not going to think about how that's even possible. Getting too close to her reality always leaves me sick to my stomach.

Like when we visited that school on Tanabata?

[timeshiftermaid]

Mh ... I ... I understand.
Well, that ... might be an advantage to this place ...

[She nods solemly. Still thinking about what Haruhi might have caused here ...]
Yes. Like when we went back ...
I-I'm sorry, Kyon-kun.
