eleven ◆ action / text

[extraordinarily]

OPTION A: action / outside the school

[ Haruhi’s sitting on a bench today, looking up in the sky melancholically. She honestly can’t believe what happened, and honestly, it’s completely and utterly embarrassing. She’ll just muse to herself, speaking aloud.

And she’s kind of angry, too. ]

I can’t believe I actually did that… Augh! It’s so stupid! I can’t believe I actually did that! I hate being normal, and that person—she wasn’t me. She wasn’t me at all.

OPTION B: text

Attention everybody!

If you saw me while those stupid shadows were around, you better forget about it, alright? That person wasn’t the real Suzumiya Haruhi. Especially you, Kyon! If you remember anything about what happened… I’ll kick you down a flight of stairs, got it?!

Also! To those who just arrived, I’m sorry. I was a huge jerk.

Oh, and Koizumi-kun. We need to talk. In private.

That is all. If you have any questions, though, I don’t mind answering.

Well, I don't really like the fact that three of the five SOS Brigade members are here, to be honest.

[ She frowns before shrugging, shaking her head in disbelief before placing her hands on her chest. ]

Actually. I need to talk to you about Kyon. He has amnesia.

[mysterioustransferstudent]

[He's not happy about it either-- especially these three members-- but that last bit chases everything else out of his head. Seriously? He had a decently long conversation with Kyon. He's not sure if he should be angry at Kyon for not telling him, or angry at himself for not noticing.]

Ah... he failed to mention that. Do you know how far back it goes?

[extraordinarily]

He doesn't remember most of the major details of when he was alive. It's a huge pain.

[mysterioustransferstudent]

He did seem somewhat detached when I spoke to him. I suppose he had no idea what I was talking about.

[He probably needs to do damage control, actually. If Kyon does remember, then Koizumi just looks like an idiot when he tries to cover for it unnecessarily. If Kyon doesn’t remember, he might tell Haruhi. Koizumi would rather risk a little embarrassment than risk Haruhi finding out about her powers.]

He seemed to recognize me, at least.

...I think.

[He had been pretty preoccupied at the time.]

[extraordinarily]

But if her recognized you, he'd remember me by now! I mean, you're the vice commander and I'm the brigade chief.

[ She wouldn't like it if she was the last person that he'd remember after all... ]

[mysterioustransferstudent]

He doesn't remember you?

[That's a shock. He thought that if Kyon would remember anything, it would be Haruhi. He's actually offended that Kyon could forget her. It's totally irrational, of course-- it's not like Kyon has any control over that-- but she's kind of the most important person in their world.]

Hmm. I must be mistaken, then. I feel confident that there's not a person in the world who would say that I left more of an impression on them than you have.

[extraordinarily]

And that's why I'm going to enlist your help so that Kyon will remember me! It's going to take a lot of work, but this might actually do the trick!

[ ... or not, because her plan is ridiculously crazy. ]

[mysterioustransferstudent]

[Will it end the world? No? Will it make Haruhi happy and make Kyon facepalm? Yes? Then count him in!]

Oh? And what sort of thing do you have in mind, Ms. Suzumiya?

[extraordinarily]

A reenactment of our first meeting. Well, Kyon and I, anyway. All we need to do is make a lot of North High uniforms and find three NPCs who look and act similarly to Taniguchi, Kunikida, and Asakura-san. Just tell them it's to audition for the school play!

[mysterioustransferstudent]

A brilliant plan, Ms Suzumiya.

[Despite the immediate response, it takes a second to remember how they met. The Organization didn't have any agents in her class at that point, so he had to rely on gossip.]

Should we reenact this during the school day, or should we set up a classroom scene after classes end? If the teacher interrupts, it could ruin the authenticity of the scene.

[extraordinarily]

It's better to do it after classes end. After all, we might need a teacher to help us. Along with some of the NPCs. But don't worry about it; I already have an excuse to get those guys rolling into the classroom!

[mysterioustransferstudent]

As prepared as always. And what's the excuse?

[extraordinarily]

Auditions for the school play. I mentioned it while I was an NPC, so this is a good chance that we should take now!
