two ❖ the fourth wall | action

[extraordinarily]

[And today, Balamb Gardeners – whether you’re here because the fourth wall broke or you’re here because you’ve always been here, there is going to be one Haruhi Suzumiya roaming around in a bunny outfit, hunting down people she knows or doesn’t know randomly!

And she’ll shout from the top of her lungs one word:]

… Hello!

Comments

[extraordinarily]

Well, beggars can't be choosers!

[She'll redouble her smile before nodding.]

That's why you should wear the Miracle Mikuru outfit now! I bet if Koizumi-kun comes here, he'll definitely recognize you at first glance!

[...Haruhi, that is a horrible idea.]

[bunnypassingby]

[I think you mean the worst idea.] He's seen me in normal clothes too.

[Wait, that's not the important part of the sentence.] Do you really think he might turn up? [Because Mikuru has seen the sudden spike in off-worlders, yes, but it has been over a year since she has seen him; she had just about given up hope on him ever coming here. But if someone else who apparently sort of knows him thinks it might be possible...]

[extraordinarily]

But the Miracle outfit is cuter.

[She says this bluntly before shrugging it off. Whatever.]

Maybe. I don't know which one will show up, though!

[bunnypassingby]

[She makes a face, because this is the justification someone used to talk her into wearing the Miracle outfit for a hostess club.]

... What's the Itsuki-kun you know like? [She wonders how different things are...]

[extraordinarily]

Well...

[She ponders things over a bit.]

He's an ordinary high school student! At least for now. He was the mysterious transfer student at North High! Oh, and he's the second-in-command for the SOS Brigade.

[bunnypassingby]

[The idea of Itsuki being a mysterious transfer student makes her smile a little at the irony, considering she was the mysterious transfer student to his school. Him as second-in-command for that insane Brigade gets a slightly raised eyebrow, mostly because she doesn't want to think of him chasing aliens. But this kind of thing wasn't what she was really asking...]

I meant as a person.

[extraordinarily]

I knew that. I was going to get to that!

[She laughs a bit awkwardly, scratching the back of her head as she gives a mischievous grin.]

Well, Koizumi-kun's really mysterious in general! Plus, he doesn't seem to argue back to any of the orders I give him, so that makes him pretty loyal. Unlike that idiot, Kyon.

[bunnypassingby]

[Mysterious and loyal, that sounds like Itsuki.] And does he have that...smile? [She'd actually started getting over him - absence makes the heart go yonder - but talking about him like this kind of brings those feelings back.]

[extraordinarily]

Yeah, he does.

[She nods slightly, feeling slightly calm.]

[bunnypassingby]

[This is one dopey smile until Mikuru catches herself.]

And who's Kyon? [She sort of wonders if he does exist in her world the way Itsuki and Yuki do.]

[extraordinarily]

He’s no one important.

[She waves it off, and folds her arms.]

But he’s the lowest member in the brigade! The lowest of the low.
