50th sigh

[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

[vedaandme]

Things have not been operating as they normally would. Objects turn intangible at random times. We should still be careful.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right.

(... I wonder if that could have anything to do with Haruhi's disappearance? I mean, people leave all the time, but Haruhi was always... unique, as Koizumi never neglected to remind me.)

[vedaandme]

It would be better than taking unecessary risks, do you not agree?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, it's better than doing nothing?

[vedaandme]

It was that attitude that destroyed the Dairy and started the strange problems with our environment falling apart.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Also a good point.

[vedaandme]

It is better to be prepared as much as possible.

However, considering what we have at our disposal, it is likely we are prepared as much as we can be. I do have something I can offer.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

It's hard to prepared when you have no idea what to prepare for...

[vedaandme]

That is true.

However, if it comes to large scale invasions, I do have something.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

What, like a giant robot or something you'd see in sentai or cartoons?

[vedaandme]

Something like that.

[Have a knowing smile.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right...

[vedaandme]

It is called Seravee, if you must know.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

S-Seravee, huh?

[vedaandme]

Yes.

[He was being completely serious. Then again, Tieria was rarely not completely serious.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(Sigh... Am I seriously having a serious conversation about giant robots?)

[vedaandme]

[Tieria quirked an eyebrow at the silence.]

Is there a problem with the name?

[Not that he was going to change it or anything.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The name is fine?

[vedaandme]

Mm. [Not that he was going to change it for someone else's opinion about it.]

Either way, it would be better if the message is correct and the aliens you are trying to reach are at least charitable if not friendly.

[He slipped his hands in his pockets and started to turn away.]
