menial | 4 ~ I have never believed in Santa, ever. [audio]

...So, it's getting close to the end of the month again, but nothing weird seems to be happening. Or am I missing something? Anyone know if we might just be getting a reprieve or something? Or maybe I just shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth.

['Because I don't believe in the Malnosso being Santa Claus to us.'

However, that's not the main purpose for this post; instead, he goes on with a filter he worked for a while on. Ideally, Asakura won't suspect it at all.]

[filtered to Shiki, Minato, Winry, Rise, SOS Brigade members who have interacted with him before, and other close-enough CR (PM me if you're not sure) // 55%]

Yo. If you guys have seen a girl with blue hair who smiles a lot, by the name of Ryoko Asakura... Well, I guess I've got something to ask of you if you do attract her attention, but I'd rather not put it on the journal, so please talk to me if you've met her.

['So what if that makes it seem like I might have a crush on her? Better that than someone hacks it and realizes that I know what Asakura is.']

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

See you there, then.

[It won't take him long to arrive. If Kyon doesn't make it first, he'll find Minato at a window table, with some tea and looking far more alert than during their last meeting here.]

Yo. Always good to see you up and about, Arisato.

Those can be mutually exclusive.

[don't think you get a free sarcasm pass.]

Well, that's why I mentioned both.

Want something?

[he nods at the tea. He can call the worker over.]

Edited 2012-01-26 15:50 (UTC)

No, that's okay.

[He waves his hand, letting a bit of his agitation show.]

Everything all right with you, Arisato?

So far...

[This is Luceti so that's quickly changeable.]

That's good. Anything going on with Haruhi?

['A question I for some reason need to ask.']

[ ...... ]

Why would you ask me?

['Because she doesn't seem to want to do all that much talking to me?']

Well, you're her friend, right?

Only in common law.

['Great, now Arisato's being evasive, too.']

Well, it's surely a Brigade member's responsibility to ask after the state of the leader.

['Whatever, though. If he's not going to talk, he's not going to talk.']

Are you concerned for a reason?

Kind of, yeah. After all, Asakura is from our world...

They don't get along?

Well, I don't think Haruhi liked her much, but that's more to the side... It's just her, Asahina-san, and me popping up like this. I imagine it might have caused a reaction.

[His first thought is something along the lines of "Isn't that obvious?" but it's now clear that it's not, at least to Kyon. Just this once, Minato decides to throw him a bone.]

She's mad at you.

['I was about to go on with Asakura and how she is about reactions... But... That's a bit of a curveball.

Not that I didn't have a clue, but hearing it backed up like that... And is it really mad?']

Mad at me?

For what?

['Not that Haruhi needs a reason.']

[Mad might be an overstatement; it's probably annoyance, but with Haruhi everything ends up over the top anyway.]

Apparently, spreading secrets.

S...Spreading secrets?!

['What the hell?! If there's one thing I do all the time, it's keep a secret.']

I've barely told anyone a thing which I could consider a secret, and certainly not a secret of Haruhi's.

[well...] She thought you'd told me something.

['Told you something? Why would I tell you anything? Uh, no offense. To be fair, I'd sooner rather speak to you than, say, Maebara and his Taniguchi/Koizumi mix.']

I didn't. The only person I've mentioned anything of that sort to was... Misaki.

['...Would she have told that to Haruhi?! If so, this could be a disaster in the making.']

...She can keep a secret, right?

[no words are needed for this answer.]

.....Are you serious?

['Goddammit, Misaki.']
