7 ~ However, it took me quite a bit longer to realize [written/action]

To those that knew it, it looks like the crazy RPG hit-points-and-magic stuff has gone home. Sorry for those who were close to it. I don't think it left any notes or belongings for anyone, but I'm sure it'll be better off where it came from.

['What a cartoonish Shift this was. Not that I will ever forget my valorous deeds, but can we get back to ... Actually, forget it. Nothing serious. If more Shifts that are par for the Haruhi-course happen, it can only be a good thing.']

Seriously -- everyone all right out there? Sounds like a more than average number of people have been leaving fair Luceti lately. Though I guess variation is itself average, in said fair Luceti.

...Anyone know where the name "Luceti" comes from, anyway?

['...You know what, I'd better stop rambling right there.']

Exactly. Maybe you should think about working a little on your tact in situations like these.

... [ sigh. ] Seriously though, what is up with this place that they would think up an experiment like that? It almost feels as if they're making fun of us. As if the one where some of us thought we were from different worlds wasn't already bad enough.

...You know, that seems to be exactly what they're doing. Making fun of us. That would qualify for just about every one of them I've seen so far.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was their objective. I've already dealt with enough people who thought screwing around with people like this was just amusing.

...At home, you mean?

Yeah, back home. Ironically enough it's almost like there are less people like that in a place like this where they seem to gather a lot of weird people.

Maybe we're all too busy being screwed with to screw with others as much as the natural screw equilibrium would suggest.

['Certainly holds true with Haruhi.'

I'm not sure if this is a better situation than before or not. .. Ah well, we're being screwed with in either case.

And actually, there are some people who do enjoy screwing with others, even here. Luckily the main person I knew who did it was sent home already quite a while ago.

Oh? Guess they were screwed with themselves. Who was that?

She was called Bernkastel. Be glad if you have the pleasure of never meeting her.

Ominous kind of name. What was so bad about her?

[ There's a lot of things she can name here, so at least she picks the least bad one to say. Then again, even that one is only relatively the least bad out of them, so. Yup. Just saying morbid stuff deadpanly. ]

She shoved me off the roof of a community building before.

...

That seems more like actively trying to kill you than just screwing with you.

She's from my world. The phrases 'actively trying to kill you' and 'screwing with you' are practically exchangable for each other there.

....

Well, that's cheerful. Sounds like you have a fun world.

You could say that again. [ there's almost an audible shrug in her words. ] I'm just being realistic and honest to myself, that's all. I guess it's good for some people here to realise that way they're pretty lucky with their own world.

I suppose so. A good reminder for lots of us, maybe. So you'd rather stay here...?

.. Yes. [ she's honest, at least. ] But that's actually more because of other reasons than the nature of my own world.

Other reasons? What would those be?

Some people would probably cry if I left. Like Keiichi.

[ making serious things sound deadpan forever. ]

Oh, Maebara.

Yes, I guess he probably would cry.

You confirm it that quickly?

Well, I've met him.

I didn't know he seemed that much like the crying type though.

... He seems like the type who, given the choice between going big and going home, always goes big.

Including on tears.

... I won't deny that much. [ she almost sounds faintly amused. almost. ] That's pretty much spot on about him. He's not the kind of guy to do anything subtly, he's way over the top.
