47th sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... Something was odd. I opened one eye slightly to take a glance at my surroundings. Was this the same room I went to sleep in last night? My stuff is arranged slightly differently. And there's a few things I don't remember sitting around here as well. With a small sigh, I close my eye again. Regardless of what's going on, it'll still be going on after I get another hour of sleep. And so, I roll over and... I feel a person. A girl to be specific. I open my eyes...)

... Haruhi?

[A: Phone, morning. Feel free to reply to Kyon, Haruhi or both.]

... Yo, so apparently, Haruhi and I have moved house to 3477 Erwin Road.

You guys should come and visit us! Maybe we should throw a housewarming party...!

Haruhi, what are you doing!?

Isn't it obvious? Since the children are drones, it's easy to distract them. Plus, it'll be fun! Oh, but no alcohol. I forbid it!

Come on, we don't need a party...

But parties are fun! And we missed two of your birthdays, so this is what you get!

[And you can hear the two of them arguing over the phone before the phone drops. ... Yeah, have fun with that.]

[B: Office of "Kyon Smith: Attorney at Law"]

... Kyon Smith, Attorney at Law, huh? I don't know the first thing about law other than not to break it. And "Smith"? Real funny there.

[C: High School; Haruhi.]

[During class today, Haruhi, the new English teacher will be teaching random stuff about aliens, time travelers, and espers!

But then-]

Hey, Mrs. Smith, I need help with-

[and Haruhi throws a piece of chalk aimed directly at the drone]

Any other questions?

(OOC: joint post between kyon and haruhi! you know the drill.)

Comments

[extraordinarily]

[Haruhi stirs a little in her sleep before staring at Kyon. She's wearing a light green (turquoise-y color, actually) nightgown that says in bold and big letters "Troublemaker".

Dot. Dot. Dot.]

Kyon?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Yo.

[extraordinarily]

So you're... I mean, we're...

[She's just going to clam up, not wanting to say it. It just pisses her off.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I guess...?

A

[silencebythewindow]

Twenty-seven minutes.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Nagato? ... 27 minutes?

[silencebythewindow]

I will arrive in approximately twenty-six minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Uh, sure... I'll see you then.

(Does it really count as "approximate" when you include seconds?)

B

[sinistraljoker]

[Shoutaro knocks on the office door, expecting a new drone to be in there.]

Yo Smith, I need...

[Ok...this guy doesn't look like a drone. Doesn't look nearly as old as any of the others he's seen for one.]

Oh. Didn't expect that...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Yo, what's up?

[sinistraljoker]

[Good. Shoutaro can drop any pretense and act normally.]

The 'boss' sent me in here to grab some file. Buuut, I think now I can take my time.

[He makes a half-hearted air quote as he talks.]

I hate it when he barges into the office like that. I have to keep hiding my other job. He'll likely do it to you too.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh? Well, it's gotta be better than sitting in those dumb classes at the High School all day.

Phone;

[1_truth]

Oh, that's why you weren't here this morning.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, that's right. Apparently we're adults now.

[1_truth]

You're eighteen?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah. No idea why they moved us both at the same time though...

Phone

[mal_addict]

Awwww, my little boy has all grown up and got married and had fake children. I'm so proud.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, thanks mom.

[mal_addict]

Don't be a stranger, now. Remember to call once in a while.

[phone - both]

[imperial_ray]

... I'm so confused.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Hm? Dizzy?

[extraordinarily]

Confused about what?

B - At the office

[ooeeooahah]

[ There's a soft knock at the door, and a woman enters with a cup of coffee in one hand, and a file and steno pad tucked under her elbow. ]

Ah, thought they might have moved someone new in this office. Ilsa Higa, they have me assigned to the receptionist's desk here.

[ She raises the cup. ] Coffee?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm? Uh, sure. I generally prefer tea, but if that's what you've got...

[ooeeooahah]

Tea next time then.

[ She sets the cup and the file on his desk. ] I think I've seen you around town. Did you just age up into the job?
