2nd: The Rekindling of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Action]

[So, dressed in her big white coat, gloves, boots... you name it, the snow is finally last harsh now than it was yesterday and the day before, so Haruhi is setting off to do something after school and the meeting today. The moment she arrived in Luceti - okay not the moment, but within the first day - she heard the guy's voice before.

[And Frey's been using his spare time to patrol the village for freezing new feathers, a bag of blankets and jackets tossed over his shoulder just in case.

When he spots Haruhi though, he freezes.]

[action]

[godbent]

Yeah- yeah I know, it's stupid, okay?!

[Yes, she's just... muttering to herself. Her eyes are intently focused on a bit of sparking happening in mid-air a little in front of her face and she isn't looking that cold. But still. She's yet to notice you]

[falenandawn]

[And Frey will just.... turn around and attempt to leave. Except, you know. That snow. Covers everything.

Including the rock he trips on, falling flat on his face.] Ah!

[action]

[godbent]

[Aaaand then she takes note of him. The sparks fade and she blinks-]

What're you doing?

[kenpo_kitty]

[[It's a blue Tao!

Actually, not really, as Uriko's face pokes out of the hood... And she's wearing pants. But she's watching you juggle fire, not really wanting to interrupt until it looks like she's done.]]

Working on getting things back to normal here?

[godbent]

[It's not as much done as when she takes note of Uriko she reduces the number of fire-balls from three to one, and settles for trying to keep this one a little above her hand without burning it. And then focuses her attention on the other girl]

Basically, yeah.

[kenpo_kitty]

So... since you're back and all... like... when's the next Brigade thing we're gonna do?

[godbent]

...Well, Valentines is coming up, right? We'll do something related to that, probably. Maybe a lottery or something.

[Keiichi attended school and the meeting, just like usual, however before leaving the meeting to go do his own business, he makes sure to get Haruhi cornered all for himself.]

Haru-chan [He's still calling her that.], make sure to come home for dinner tonight... My home, I mean, where the girls and me are. Okay?

[Action]

[godbent]

[Wait what] Why would I go there?

[Action]

[breaks_destiny]

'Cause I said so, don't make me go get you and drag you there, I will. Dinner will be at eight, so be there around that time or even a bit earlier if you want.

[Tell you what he wants? No, besides, there shouldn't be much talking on it, but he's not going to go around carrying your things to give them back, come and get them... And meet the new Rika since we're on it or something, dinner sounds like a good idea in his mind.]

[Action]

[godbent]

Keiichi don't be stupid. I have a house! I have no [And this comes complete with a finger jabbing into his chest and her leaning up] obligation to go to whatever dinner function you want!

[slaying]

[ forest's edge, eh? well, buffy is walking by with her flashy new winter boots and a parka. it's the sparks that catch her eye so she stops and watches with her arms crossed. why does this feel familiar? ]

[godbent]

Yeah, of course! It's not like I'd go and-

[There's a pause, yes, she's muttering to herself]

Hey! That wasn't my choice.

[And as if in response to that muttering, one of those sparks has a brief crackle of flame]

[slaying]

You do realize that only you can prevent forest fires, right?

[ interrupting you now with a cheesy psa tagline. ]

[godbent]

Huh-? [She turns, and when she does the sparks fade because concentration is lost. This is... someone. She definitely recognizes this someone.]

It's not like I'm lighting up one of the trees.

[Once Haruhi starts playing with the fire, she'll suddenly hear a:]

Nice stuff, chief! [Of course, if she looks behind her, there's no one to be found. Try looking up, where Kurt is hanging from the ceiling, tail wrapped around the rafters. The headphones he had plugged in his ears are now just dangling in the air.]

[godbent]

[What- That makes her trip up a little and one of the fireballs nearly falls on her coat, but she mutters to herself in time to snuff it out. Down to two balls, which she could juggle in her sleep she looks around. Left, no, right, no. Up-

Up.]

Wha- What the hell was that, Kurt?!

[onebluebamf]

Just hanging out.

[He drops to the ground, twisting in the air to land on his feet.]

That's some impressive juggling. You know, I'm pretty good at that too.

[godbent]

Well yeah, any idiot can handle this extent. [The two balls go for one more loop and then she mutters to herself again... they too go out. She senses this conversation to come would have made her slip up anyway]
