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.']

Hah!

He might have been Neku's friend, but even that's debatable. [Now that she knows who Joshua is and what he did? Not. Impressed. Granted she's started to hate him less over the years but he's still a prick.]

Well, good. That bastard goes in more circles than an asteroid.

Don't take anything he says too personal. He's only serious with a few of us, and even then...he's complex. I don't like him very much, and I still don't understand his reasoning for most things, but I can get some of it.

Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't think I do, anyway. Nothing seems to be personal, it's all just one creepy thing and another.

What exactly do you "get" about him?

[Written]

[so_shik]

Just...things. You tend to understand people a little better when they've been in the Game, too.

So, wait, he was with you guys in that weird thing?

[Written]

[so_shik]

Yup. Neku had three partners during the game...I was first, and Joshua was right after me, and then Beat. I didn't get to know Joshua very well during the game because I was, like, knocked out after the first week but...he helped him out.

This is getting too complicated for me. But I guess you weren't all forged into some big nakama family after all.

I'm really thinking about writing up a summary of those three weeks. Like "The Game: A Guide for Dummies" or something, but I don't know how many people would actually believe the things we did and saw.

[Written]

[menial]

We're all the dummies, huh?

Well, if you wrote it, I'd read it. And believe it.

Maybe that'll be my next big thing then, just for you.

I'll hold you to that, Shiki.
