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

[menial]

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.']

You confirm it that quickly?

[ voice ]

[menial]

Well, I've met him.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

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

[ voice ]

[menial]

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

Including on tears.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... 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.

[ voice ]

[menial]

Which is why I can see profuse tears on his face in my mind's eye.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

So you aren't the type to cry if the girl you like would leave then, I take it?

[ voice ]

[menial]

No, I guess I'm not.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

You might break a girl's heart at that rate.

[ voice ]

[menial]

A girl who's left?

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

In theory. If she'd know you weren't even shedding tears over her.. [ she's not entirely serious, obviously. ]

[ voice ]

[menial]

Ah. So regardless of my tears shed, tears will be shed? How unfortunate.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

It seems that 'tears being shed' is the unfortunate yet inevitable outcome, yes. What a sad kind of scenario.

[ voice ]

[menial]

How awful. Just one more Luceti tragedy, my nonexistent girlfriend.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

I'm sure she might just forgive you if you apologize right now.

[ voice ]

[menial]

Then I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. I don't know how to make it up, but I'll do my best.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Spoken like a true man. I'm sure that your nonexistant girlfriend must be really happy to have a guy like you. [ not that it sounds like much of a compliment with Ange's deadpan tone. ]

[ voice ]

[menial]

Well, she's very lucky, if I say so myself.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

.. Ah, arrogance takes away points though.

[ voice ]

[menial]

Well, she could just be lucky because she's nonexistent.
