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.']

Oh, and take pictures too. Or... dammit, actually I don't have anyone like her around anymore. Hmm.

You know, it was just an idea. I haven't actually decided to go or anything.

Oh, I see.

...Yeah, so I'll probably end up just trying to stay away from it here. Like Ushiromiya said, it might just be worse if I'm far away from anyone else.

['Or alone with a zombie.']

You're buying her insight?

Well, she's been here longer than me, right? She might have tried it.

Yeah well, a lot of people have tried things like that. Last year in particular... [...No that's too painful still] Well the point is it's complicated.

...Last year, what?

['Cause that sounds more ominous than saying it probably is.']

Last... Last year was complicated. Everyone forgot we knew it was an experiment going in.

So what was it?

The... same as all the others. Just including Threesomes.

['...............................']

['It was probably two guys.']

...Well, let's hope the trend doesn't continue.

It's a four year tradition, it's not just going to change.

['At the least, the trend of the expansion of numbers is what I was thinking, but whatever.']

Okay, so lock yourself in your room and don't come out.

If you remember, anyway. And even that's not perfect - but! I'm going to be doing something like that.

Good for you. I know how much the thought of being wracked by the mental illness that is love must disgust you.

Y...yeah. [There's brief but very awkward pause] Yeah, pretty much.

['"Pretty much?" What's going on here now? Do I detect a change in Haruhi Suzumiya policy towards that unfortunate emotion? Because seriously, that is just too much. Sasaki was telling me about that in middle school, and her, too, and now, I mean, what?']

Got a different opinion now?

[...Sigh]

It's still a Mental Disorder. There's an infection that goes on in people in which love takes over their lives and makes them do all sorts of unfortunate things. But like I said to you a long time ago, it's not like people don't get urges - it's not like I don't either. And furthermore...

[This is... a lot harder than she thought. But somehow, being pissed at him makes it easier]

...Furthermore, if you get passed the sort of superficial nonsense and ridiculous expectations people attribute to it, it isn't terrible.

['First of all, go screw yourself, Koizumi, and take the inner Koizumi with you.']

['Second... "Isn't"?'

He says the next part slowly.]

Am I to assume that you're speaking from personal experience now?

I- [Just breathe. In fact, don't be meek. You've been sounding meek too much on this subject. Breathe, compose yourself, stand up for what you know to be true now]
