~forty-six~ [Brokefield]

To whomever destroyed the machine in the Dairy, I'd like to say this:

Investigate before blowing things up like an idiot. You'd have saved everyone a lot of trouble.

[Yeah, she mad. The creeping headache that she's had since coming out of her droning isn't helping her mood.]


[Action A: around town]

[As the day goes on, her headache is accompanied by an ache in her chest that almost resembles a heart attack. Erring on the side of caution--there's no respawn, after all--she decides to go to the hospital and get it checked out.

All tests come back negative, and the doctors laugh her out the door. "Silly, hysterical woman!" they say. "Maybe you've been working with patients for too long, you're beginning to think you're catching things from them!" Never mind that she knows cardiovascular disease isn't contagious.

So, angrier than she was in the morning, she's talking a walk to let off some steam. And munching. So much munching.

If you get too close, even by accident, she's throwing one of her snacks at you.]


[Action B: 726 Anderson Lane, closed to questionauthority]

[Ema's head and chest pains aren't getting any better, so she's decided to hide out with her boyfriend for awhile. Maybe if she gets some rest, she'll be able to kick the pain and feel like a human being.

Although a big part of her doubts it. Really, what she wants right now is to not be alone--needing peace and quiet is just an excuse.

Knock knock.]

Just because Mayfield is a terrible place, it's not a good idea to break things without knowing their function first. I mean, for all they knew it could've been... well, actually, I can't think of anything that might be worse than what it actually was unless it turned out to be our source of oxygen or something.

[glowing_skye]

Even if had been the vat of souls--which I suspect that's what they thought--you don't go exploding things until you've figured them out.

People are such idiots!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

And if it were a soul vat, what would become of the contents when exploded? I mean, you really need to be careful so as to not cock things up completely.

[glowing_skye]

Yes!

What's your name? I think we need to talk more often.

[He makes such sense!]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, everyone calls me Kyon.

[Because, seriously Tanigawa? It's been 10 books and we still don't know his name.]

[glowing_skye]

Kyon works.

I'm Ema.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ema... Always nice to meet someone who has at least some common sense.

[glowing_skye]

Likewise.

I guess we just have to suffer through, though.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The town or the idiots?

[glowing_skye]

Both.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Of course.

[glowing_skye]

Where do you work, by the way?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm a student at the high school.

[glowing_skye]

Oh! I didn't realize you were that young!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, when you deal with some of the people I have to put up with, it's pretty clear that someone has to be the voice of reason...

[glowing_skye]

Are they that bad? What kind of people do you normally spend your time with?

[Because she empathizes.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The kind of people who create ridiculous organisations like the "Speading Excitement all Over the World with Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade".

[glowing_skye]

....

[Wow, and she thought Edward's Legion of Doom was bad.]

I think that wins the 'whose friends are crazier' contest.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, it's something I've eventually just accepted to live with, both at home and in Mayfield.

[glowing_skye]

I guess, in your place, that's all you can do.

... Y'know, teen Ema would probably be down with most of Haruhi's stunts.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Pretty much...

Probably! Before she became a cranky old woman. XD

[glowing_skye]

Well, things are going to get nuts, so take care of yourself. Okay?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, you be be careful too.

[glowing_skye]

I will, thank you.
