[ Because of what happened yesterday, Haruhi's decided that she's going to get down to business and do some investigative work. Mostly because she wants to be 100% sure that she's not capturing the wrong person. ]

Okay, if your names are one of the following: Junpei Tenmyouji, Shouma Takakura, Ling Yao, Toji Suzuhara, Yuuko Kanoe, Mami Tomoe, Shinji Ikari, Misaki Yata, Takashi Natsume, Taki Tooru, Taichi Yaegashi, Takato Matsuda, Sayaka Miki, Himeko Inaba or Ai Shinoda...

I want you to prove your humanity for the sake of all mankind!

( OOC: Junpei's last name is in spoiler text because it is a spoiler for VLR! )

This has got to do with the weird text from that other NPC, right?

text;

[extraordinarily]

Yeah. So do you have any proof? Oh, and just so you know: another person who knew you from when you were alive counts. Since it's just one person.

I have an idea who it is, but I want to double check before I apprehend them.

Exactly how are we supposed to prove we're human to you, Suzumiya-san?

That's like asking someone what it means to be human.

[extraordinarily]

Well, it's easier to talk about a person's life when they were alive, isn't it? So let's talk about that.

Though people who don't know people from when they were alive can be easily eliminated about the list.

i think sayaka is okay, haruhi

text;

[extraordinarily]

Does she know anyone else here when she was alive?

text

[rumorbound]

I'm sorry... prove my humanity?

text;

[extraordinarily]

Yeah, yeah! Basically, prove that you were alive and not created by some weirdo Programmer.

[onewayroad]

hold on when the hell did shinji show up again? i thought that guy disappeared a while ago.

[someone does not check the directory anywhere near as militantly as Haruhi does]

[extraordinarily]

About a month ago according to my records. You know him?

[ Cut one from the list. Haruhi's making progress! ]

[knightlyrondo]

I'm human--and so is Mami-san! Madoka can prove that for both of us. Since Mami-san's our senpai and I'm Madoka's best friend since we were kids.

What about you, huh? Maybe you're the NPC.

[extraordinarily]

Nobody from my world is here anymore, but I'm the president of the student council. If I were the NPC, wouldn't that be too obvious?

Oh, and I've been here even before October. Anybody can collaborate on my story if you want proof for that. But since you have someone who can prove it, I can count you out.

[Is this a spam message or something... That's Yata's first thought. He half-considers just ignoring it, but with Haruhi's name attached, he decides he should probably respond.]

prove my humanity?? what for?

text;

[extraordinarily]

So we can find out who our mysterious NPC is! This is a hunt for the gold!

[ .. That's a huge amount of names she actually knows. And it's sort of unsettling with that last line.. what is this post even?! She doesn't even make the mental connection with the other post, really. ]

Mami-san and Sayaka-chan are people I knew from back when I was alive, so of course they're really human.. Shouma-san is definitely human too, and so is Shinji-san! Junpei-san was my project partner.. [ And he's human. Even if he did want to shove their kid into a fridge. ]

Don't you think it's a little mean to make people prove their humanity..?

text;

[extraordinarily]

Well, if I'm trying to prove who out of that list is the NPC, I have to get information out of everyone for it!

text;

[avartwice]

sure, i'll gladly prove it. if you can tell me how to do that.

text;

[extraordinarily]

Tell me something weird that you do!

voice;

[circulated]

...excuse me? Humanity...? [Hold on, she's tilting her head a bit at that. Also, she's using voice because what is text how does it work.]

Um, how are we supposed to prove something like that? If you're human, you're human, right...?

audio;

[extraordinarily]

[ Don't worry, Haruhi will match to be polite. ]

Even so, the NPCs look and act exactly like humans. Proving you're human is basically showing me your worth. So, why don't you tell me about yourself?

[shinesbrightest]

You want us to prove that we were alive? Is that it?

text;

[extraordinarily]

Yeah, that's it. Don't worry, I don't bite.

[crashtestdummy]

how do u expect some1 to do that

[extraordinarily]

By telling me if you know anyone here, first. Or something weird and abnormal that you do.

voice;

[sleepybuster]

Suzumiya-san... Isn't that an odd thing to ask of people? How would someone prove something like that?

audio;

[extraordinarily]

It may be, but how else am I supposed to figure out who's real and who's not?

[ It's kind of an irrational fear at this point; she's afraid of befriending someone who isn't... real, yet she's willing to go far to get what she wants, even if that isn't real. ]

Well, there's several ways to prove it. First is by telling me if they knew anyone from when they were alive. Second is by showing me the strangest thing they can do. And third is by showing me that I can trust them. Well, the third is a given, honestly...

[frequent_flyer]

[Nope. He doesn't like this. Something about singling people out and demanding they prove their humanity just rubs him wrong.]

Oi, what do you think you're doing?

audio;

[extraordinarily]

I'm trying to find out the truth, that's what I'm doing.
