three narrations | audio; filtered from haruhi suzumiya

[facepalms]

[When Kyon turns on the feed today, he remembers to filter it from his very "special" chief of the SOS Brigade, and soon enough, the people listening to this may hear a very audible sigh before the teenager finally speaks up.]

White Day's in two days. Which, to be honest, isn't a good sign for me. Yeah, I know not everyone celebrates it, but a certain someone I know does.

['And that certain someone, as we all know is the hurricane named Suzumiya Haruhi.']

So, let's just say that I need to give a pseudo-goddess a gift on that day. And I have no clue what to give her that, well... wouldn't set off a bomb that would possibly and most likely hurt me. I am definitely not going to give her some miniature carnivorous dinosaur.

Right.

So, what would you give as a present to a person who won't accept something 'ordinary'?

When I want to give someone something special, I always try and make it myself! What can you do that's unique to you?

audio;

[facepalms]

... Well, I guess that would be menial tasks.

['But, there's one problem with that.']

Though I can't exactly give her that as a present.

[moimin_papa]

...Hmm...

You could! You could write her vouchers to promise an hour or half an hour of work! Or you could get someone to distract her and tidy for her while she's not there!

audio;

[facepalms]

That doesn't sound very 'extraordinary' if you ask me.

['Give me a break. She'll probably make me do horrendous things if I gave her coupons for me to do menial work.']

[audio]

[asano_san]

At least you have someone to give a White Day gift to!

[audio]

[facepalms]

It's not a good thing when you have to repay the person ten fold.

['And especially since it's actually quite difficult to give her something.']

And I highly doubt that she gave me the chocolate on Valentine's Day because she likes me.

[audio]

[asano_san]

She did it just so you would have to give her something this month? That's not fair at all! That goes against the whole system!

[voice]

[devourer]

[ Goddess? Ignoring the fact that he's not sure what White Day is... This is Haruhi's little stooge, isn't it? How interesting. ]

A goddess...? Ah, but in any case! There is surely no shortage of extraordinary things in this city!

[voice]

[facepalms]

Well, a pseudo-goddess. She doesn't have power over everything.

[He sighs before continuing on.]

But it's not like I can take any extraordinary thing and put it in a package.

[voice]

[devourer]

Then perhaps you should find something that cannot be packaged at all! Even a pseudo-goddess must have offerings or rituals she likes, correct?

[madeinoblivion]

White Day?

What about something personal? Like a good luck charm?

[facepalms]

It's the Japanese follow-up for Valentine's Day. If you got something on Valentine's Day, you have to give them something back a month later, on White Day.

... A good luck charm, huh. Well, I know that we have good luck charms at home, but I don't know if she'll consider that as something different.

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. Well. I guess I could do that- even though I gave her stuff on Valentine's Day too?

[archangelflonne]

An entire holiday just to celebrate a certain color? Humans have such widely varied holidays. I didn't know they celebrated such simple things. I thought the concept of appreciating something so small was gone. That's so wonderful!

[The angel is positively beaming. Don't burst her bubble too hard!]

What sort of psuedo-goddess are you talking about, though? I knew there were other angels in town, but I wasn't aware there were was anyone that could pass as a diety. Even a fake diety!

audio;

[facepalms]

Well, we're not exactly celebrating the color, actually...

[Thankfully Kyon isn't mean enough to go "You're wrong. 100% wrong."]

And I may call her a pseudo-goddess, but that's only because she has the power of a diety. You don't want to piss her off.

Re: audio;

[archangelflonne]

Aw, well its still a nice thought. I am going to make a holiday for green I think. Or maybe red. Red Day sounds like it might be too angry though, so perhaps Happy Red Day sounds better. Anyway! I do not make a habit of making people angry, but I've fought against people with that sort of power before. I didn't make it to the level of archangel by looking adorable you know! So, who were you talking about again? Perhaps I can help you out here!

[voice]

[cruelties]

Singing flowers, and if she is a goddess-- they should sing a hymn.

[voice]

[facepalms]

['That sounds like a horrible cliche gone wrong.']

And where exactly am I supposed to find flowers that sing?

[voice]

[cruelties]

You can find anything in this city. And are there not devices who can play a recording of a voice if all else fails? [Get with the program Kyon. This guy is from Victorian times for heaven's sake and he's instructing you how to be clever with modern technology.]

audio; same filter

[topslug]

[ Pseudo-goddess, huh? Well, that confirms a few things she figured about Haruhi's powers, but it's a bit of a relief to talk about it freely.

Still, asking the network for advice, Kyon must be pretty desperate, huh? ]

Why not just take her out to dinner?

audio; filtered.

[facepalms]

There is no way I am taking her out to dinner.

['Ever, if I may add that. Especially since I don't want her thinking that I'm a pervert. Or that I like her -- which, of course, I don't.']

Not even if the world were about to end right here and now.

audio; filtered.

[topslug]

You think she'd react that badly?

[ She shifts in her chair, propping her hand on her chin thoughtfully. ]

You've got to have some idea of what she wants, right?

[video]

[theshortestbird]

I'd get her something she won't forget. Like... taking her out, making her something yourself, all that kind of thing.

[video]

[facepalms]

[...why is everyone giving him these horrible suggestions.]

Okay, I guess something that she won't forget would be a good thing. As long as I don't actually take her out on a date.

[video]

[theshortestbird]

Just take her out for dinner, it doesn't have to be a date. You can go as friends or something. [He thinks.] Or... maybe something she can wear? Like a necklace with a charm on it?
