[this is probably a bad idea... but this guy sounds like someone who wouldn't be above reviewing the network... and then there's Renge herself...]

I'm acquainted with Haruhi and Renge. Haruhi and I were roommates for a while, and Renge... well, you're from her world, you probably know her better than I do.

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

[He will find out all given long enough. This is just the starting point]

I'm certainly familiar with how Renge was back home, although I've been told she's changed since then.

You mention you're acquainted...would you consider either of them to be friends?

[Just so he can be clear on this]

Re: [video]

[steelalchemy]

[fml]

... for the better?

[b/c if it's for the better, Ed never wants to go to her world. ever.]

Haruhi's the decent sort, more acquaintance than friend though. And Renge... er... can we just say 'It's complicated' and leave it at that?

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

That's the impression I was given, yes. I can't say I've noticed much of a change yet but then I have only been here a week or so.

[He nods at the latter comment]

Well, I suppose it would be impolite of me to pry. I do appreciate that Renge takes some...adjusting to when you first meet her.

[Of course, he's still going to pry. He just won't let on]

[Not here]

[chocogun]

[HE WILL NEVER CONTACT YOU BECAUSE HE IS AN ASSHOLE.]

[But he lives with Renge >: ]

Re: [Not here]

[reallyincharge]

[Oh that's the game, is it?

Shame he has access to the rooming lists]

Re: [Not here]

[chocogun]

[Mello's name should only appear as "M". Of course Renge has a huge mouth, I'm sure she'd love to chat a bit about this "M" person]

Re: [Not here]

[reallyincharge]

["M" works. And yes, surely it would only take "so Renge, what are your roommates like?"]

[guardianjoker]

You're a friend of Haruhi?

Re: video;

[reallyincharge]

That's right, yes. I assume you can claim likewise?

video;

[guardianjoker]

Ah, well that explains why you were asking.

I'm her roommate.

Re: video;

[reallyincharge]

Ah, is that so? And which one are you?

[Not that he already has a list of names or anything *cough*]

[thenwhowas]

..."Earned their approval"?

Re: video

[reallyincharge]

I'm sorry, is there something about my choice of language you find problematic?

[It sounded all right to him...]

Re: video

[thenwhowas]

It's just a... weird way of putting it.

And why are you making it your business, anyway?

Re: video

[reallyincharge]

Really? [Shrug] It seemed perfectly acceptable to me.

[And a wry smile at that question]

It's my business whether I make it so or not. I wouldn't have thought my enquiry would be so questionable...unless, that is, someone were to have something to hide.

[In which case he'd go about finding out who that person is and why they're so secretive.]

[happiestberry]

You're a friend of Kao-chans's?

[reallyincharge]

Yes, that's right. I take it you're also acquainted with him.

[happiestberry]

I'm Miwako! Kao-chan is one of my best friends!

[reallyincharge]

Oh really? Then it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Miwako. Getting close to Kaoru isn't something that's achieved all too easily.
