[Minato notes the two obviously new students going over their schedules. Silenced or not, he decides to go greet them, his notebook and pen at the ready.

Thankfully, their uniforms and chatter mark them as Japanese - that should make his side of the conversation go a little more smoothly.]

[ Haruhi glances up at Minato's approach, regarding him with a face of indifference for just a moment before starting to grin. Another student!]

Are you an alien or a native?

[Minato writes his answer and shows it to them.]

Alien, of course. Though we use the term 'off-worlder' here.

[Wondering why he's had to write it, Haruhi instantly launches into the next question. Screw waiting.]

What are your super-powers? Do you have a hyper-destructive voice or something?

[Not about to just tell about his Persona power when he can't even access it, he opts to deflect the question.]

Do you really think I would reveal my powers without even knowing who you are?

And it's not related to my voice - I've just been silenced.

[And rather than be discouraged, Haruhi is thrilled, and pretty much shouts her joy to the world!]

So you do have special powers!

[Silence? What's that?]

[Oh, Minato can tell this girl's going to love it here - she strikes him as the sort who would enjoy all the Time Compression-related shenanigans.]

Of course - even if I didn't have any before arriving, staying here for nearly six months would have earned me some.

Kyon > Haruhi > Minato, from here? iamfacepalm October 17 2010, 21:47:43 UTC
Haruhi, why don't you try asking something normal for a change? Like, you know, his name?

[ Shooting her a short annoyed glance, he turns to look at the guy with a quirk of his brow and a sort of "sorry for this" shrug of his shoulder. ]

She's Haruhi, and you can call me Kyon.

Names aren't important! I'm gathering intelligence about parallel worlds, which is much more significant!

...ah, fine.

Name?

Minato Arisato. Nice to meet you two.

You'll have plenty of chances for that - there are a few new off-worlders showing up every once in a while.

Good to meet you, too.

[ He frowns just slightly as he keeps reading, resting his elbow on the table with his chin in his hand. ]

'Isn't this a bit unfortunate, though? At least in our world it was impractical to believe in this sort of thing, so Haruhi would have maybe gotten over it and moved on eventually. But here... well, here she's bound to run rampant, and that means I'm going to get dragged along for the ride.

What else is new?'

Do you have any idea how long this has been going on for? Or if there's been any progress in finding a way back home?

A way home can wait! They'll let us know eventually, and if they don't we can call it a conspiracy theory and investigate.

[Said with a chirpy voice and a dismissive flick of the hand.]

But I'll give you the other question. Arisato-san, how long has this been going on for?

[Minato casts a sympathetic look at Kyon while he writes his answer.]

Hard to tell. They only started using Garden as a place to hold us all in
about six months ago, which is as far as the records go.

The only way out so far, is by getting shunted back via Time Compression.

So it's basically random chance, as far as going home is concerned.

'Unlike Haruhi, some of us would like to go home sooner rather than later. Don't you think everyone's going to worry about us if we're gone for so long? I don't even want to think of how my sister's going to react when I'm suddenly MIA...!'

[ A long sigh, as he shakes his head. ]

Well if nothing else, I guess we're lucky that we weren't thrown out on our asses the moment we got here. The Headmaster must be an alright guy.

Or he's a weirdo...

Ah!

[Suddenly struck by a thought, she latches on to Kyon's arm.]

Kyon, what if they're building a super-powered army?! We could be pawns in a world-domination plot!!

[Minato blinks at Haruhi's sudden idea.]

You do know we're being trained for mercenary work, right?
