1 ~ when did I stop believing in Santa Claus? [audio/action]

[action]

[A teenage boy is extricating himself with some difficulty from having been dumped, or appearing, in the middle of the fountain in the center of the village. He's muttering to himself and clambering out. He's dressed in the generic-enough North High uniform, but of more interest may be what he's saying -- which is picked up by the split-open journal next to him.]

...Really, Haruhi? After all of that, I'm in some other time and place again?! Oh, boy. She really just doesn't stop... Where the hell is it this time?

[Once he gets up and brushes himself off, he can be found staring with slightly less bewilderment than you might expect at his surroundings.]

Huh.

So the wings represent my HP or something, huh? Seems unwieldy.

'Then again... not like this hasn't happened before.'

The wings are only part of your problems. There are experimental periods that happen every now and then. They tend to cause the most problems.

Experimental periods?

'I'm going to assume he doesn't mean we've all been turned into girls. In fact, for those of you reading out there, I can personally verify that I have not been turned into a girl. That's all I have to say about that.'

Meaning what?

The Malnosso seem to have no boundaries to the extent of their capabilities. Experiments last for about a week, usually, and we have no control over any of it.

'Well, Haruhi's experiments can last for eternity, and we have no control over it. It could be worse.'

I see. I'll probably figure out who you're talking about later, huh?

Not necessarily. The Malnosso are distant from us. You'll sooner find out all the things their capable of before figuring out who they are.

Better and better.

'Seriously, I don't want to think about this. I don't think I get any of it. Maybe I can get out of this conversation immediately.'

[But he doesn't.]

How are you familiar with Haruhi? Are you from the same world?

'You too, huh, Sensible Guy?'

Yeah, that's right.

I see. In either case. The ones at fault here are the Malnosso.

'Honestly, doesn't matter to me who.'

Well, that's good, I guess.

I'm Akihiko Sanada. If you need help feel free to ask me.

Thanks. I'm--[Suddenly, the sound of a small explosion!]. It's nice to meet you.

Is something wrong?

Huh? Oh, that? Someone probably dropped something.

[Things like that tend to happen when he's about to say his name; it's very odd.]

Where are you?

Just around the village somewhere. Can't say I've gotten oriented.

There's the Welcome Center if you're having complications.

'I'm always having complications.

You know what, screw it, I can say that.'

I'm always having complications.

I...see.

Unfortunately Luceti will bring you more.

That's just what I needed to hear.

There are a lot of helpful people here as well.

So it seems.

'And then there's Haruhi.'

Is there anything else you're not sure about?

'Is there anything here I am sure about?'

...I'll probably just have to figure it out, anyway.
