50th sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[A) Action:

The past few days, Kyon has been notably sulkier than usual and even less sociable. He doesn't even seem to pretend to work while at the office. You may encounter him at any regular location, but don't expect friendly chit chat.

B) Action, School:

Tonight, Kyon has broken into school grounds in the middle of the night in order to do something remarkably out of character for him. Using groundskeeping equipment, he has drawn a strange symbol into the ground.

C) Phone, Locked to Yuki Nagato]

... Nagato, it's me. Haruhi... she's gone.

Comments

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So basically, we do nothing either way.

[tenderoblivion]

...We observe.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Yeah, well, what's the weird thing?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

It's a message.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Of course. Observation.

[Sigh.]

[ action | school ]

[vedaandme]

What are you doing?

[Tieria had come back to the school to pick up something he had forgotten. Now, he was standing over Kyon with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

To who?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Drawing. Got a problem?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Aliens?

(Okay, that sounds stupid dammit.)

[vedaandme]

What are you drawing?

[That will determine if he has a problem or not.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

A message, for aliens.

[vedaandme]

[If Kyon was going for shock value, it didn't work.]

I see. What does it say?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

"I am here", supposedly.

[vedaandme]

You are not certain? [That was a little unnerving.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, it's been a few years since I saw the original...

[vedaandme]

I see. If you are not certain of what you remember, perhaps you should not be attempting to use it. You may end up provoking an attack instead.

That is, of course, provided someone actually sees it.

[tenderoblivion]

...

...

Be careful. If the end is approaching, the probability of danger will be increased significantly.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Would an alien attack really be any worse than Mayfield's usual shenanigans?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, I'll be as careful as possible. Knowing my luck, danger will probably find me anyway though.

[vedaandme]

That would depend on the aliens. [Not that Mayfield wasn't dangerous, really, but Tieria didn't exactly like being turned into metal, either.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I suppose so...

[vedaandme]

Besides, do you have a way to defend yourself if it comes to that? [Tieria did, but he wasn't going to say anything about it, just yet. He wanted to see if this kid had thought things through first, unlike a certain Saji Crossroad...]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Not exactly...

(So my girlfriend leaves town and the first thing that happens is that I'm grilled as to whether I'm prepared for an alien invasion. ... Yeah, that sounds like my life.)

[vedaandme]

Then perhaps you should have thought things through before you started painting alien symbols on the ground.

[Really, Kyon. Tieria was disappoint with these poor planning skills.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What's the actual likelihood of aliens attacking at this point anyway?
