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.]

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.']

Of course it could- does. It does happen to a lot of people and then they get obnoxious about it or fall in deep or... well the point is it's not an unusual thing.

[...Arguing for normality. Even shes sees the irony. But after bringing this up months ago to Winry and Winry telling her that she didn't need to have them say it and Haruhi concluding that she didn't either (because it would show weakness about... well, what she considers the two actual secrets here.]

But yeah, I've more than had the time.

And you would never do something like that, and that's the difference?

['Yeah, I admit it's not an abnormal thing, which makes your doing it all the weirder, as you perfectly well know.

I feel exhausted all of a sudden.']

Well I've certainly never been obnoxious about it.

['I suppose you wouldn't count not telling me for months as obnoxious.'

He will also think back to this conversation when she asks whether maid costumes are an art form or a fetish later.]

...I'm sure.

After all, when people are obnoxious about things, it just makes everything that much more complicated, not to mention frustrating. What's the problem with people just going about their lives and then if someone asks them "hey, is this so?" they can answer yes or not. The whole needing to announce things is incredibly tacky and outdated.

Don't you reannounce the existence of the Brigade every time you write in the journal?

['Different things, I'm sure. If you say so, Haruhi... whatever. I can't think about it now.']

No.

[Maybe]

...Okay.

['Sigh.']
