action for kohaku, accelerator + text for everyone else
ACTION;
[ Yuri had been staring at her phone for a while now. According to what she'd been told, if a person was no longer in the afterlife, their name disappeared. If they were NPC'd, their name was gray in the phone list. Hideki Hinata was gone. Haruhi Suzumiya was gone. Accelerator was gray. There were a couple of other people she knew that had disappeared before now, along with another girl she'd barely met disappearing. But it was those three that were really affecting her right now.
There was so much to be said about who Yuri Nakamura was. But there was one thing above all else that she herself recognized, and it was that she was supposed to be able to protect the people she cared about, but she kept losing them. Haruhi's disappearance she didn't understand. Haruhi was miserable, she'd made that much clear, and she shouldn't have been able to disappear. So was there a way to disappear besides finding what you needed? Had Haruhi found what she needed and just.. gone? It was possible, but it didn't seem likely. It was a loss of a friend, even if they'd been in a rocky place recently, and that was more than enough to make Yuri shut down for a while in a normal circumstance. But...
Even before she'd noticed Haruhi's name was gone, Yuri had seen another name that had already screwed her up. Hinata was gone. The way she'd gotten back from being an NPC was because he'd kissed her. Because her important memory that he had triggered was her first kiss, back around Christmas, when they'd gotten stuck under the mistletoe. She had feelings for Hinata, and that kiss had been extremely important to her even if she had promised herself that she never wanted to let herself fall in love because she'd- she'd end up feeling like this when one of them disappeared. It was a rare occasion when Yuri could barely hold onto not breaking down crying, but this was one of them. There was too much going on for her to be this weak, to feel like her heart had shattered into a thousand pieces because she had let herself love and it backfired.
She was supposed to have disappeared, back when Hinata and Otonashi and everyone had. But somehow she'd been brought back. She hadn't been mad at him, even though he'd promised that he would stay by her side as long as they were both here. They'd both thought that they'd disappeared. But this time, he'd left her alone, and the only thing that she could think of as to why was because he'd figured out that she loved him and he probably loved her too. Was that why he disappeared? Was it her fault? He was already satisfied from before, was he holding onto something? Yuri had been fighting for everyone. She wasn't sure what brought her back, but she knew that she was staying because this place wasn't safe- because there were people she'd come to care about that weren't safe and her job in defeating the Programmer hadn't been completed. Yuri had wanted to stay and make sure that this wouldn't ever be a problem again, but Hinata was more likely there for her. Because he'd never wanted to leave her to fight on her own again.
Yuri had sat in her room for a good long while that morning, just trying to get her emotions under control. Trying to convince herself that there was something she could do. If he was happy, that was great. If Haruhi had found a way to get through her problems, then she should be happy for both of them. She should be but..
After a few hours locked away in her room, not really responding if anyone came to visit her, Yuri had managed to shut herself down for at least a little while. Because Accelerator was still here. He was still here, and he was stuck, and she was the one he'd told how to solve that. It was something she had to do, something she was responsible for even if she didn't know that she was even capable of protecting the people she cared for. This entire second stint in the afterlife had nearly proven that-- she hadn't been able to do very much at all against the Programmer so far. She'd lost herself at one point, lost others, and she felt useless. She felt like she couldn't do anything. But Accelerator was still here. All she had to do was bring him back, and she could just.. he could be safe. That's all that mattered right now, the rest of everything-
If she could keep it down, she could focus on what was important. It wasn't those feelings that she couldn't do anything about. Everyone else needed her to be strong, so she couldn't let herself show any signs of it.
Yuri put her phone away and stood up, heading over to where Hinata had kept his gun. Hers had been in the dormitory and she hadn't brought them along since she was an NPC at the time and had to practically be kidnapped as a rescue attempt. She'd made a knife, but she was taking Hinata's gun. It was most of what she had left of him now and she took a brief moment to stare at it, her eyes a little cold compared to what they normally were. She took a deep breath. She knew how to shut herself down, she'd done it plenty before. She just had to maintain it.
...Still, she couldn't lose anyone else. Yuri raised her head as she tucked the gun into the holster beneath her shirt on her back side, then called out. ]
Kohaku!
[ He'd better be in the house or she was going to kill him, and that wasn't a joke this time. ]
TEXT, LATER THAT NIGHT
Hinata, Haruhi disappeared.
Tired of waiting for the Programmer to make his next move. I'm looking for ideas to take the dorms back, then once we regain our ground, we're taking him down. I'm tired of waiting to see him buried 6 feet under for the rest of his afterlife.

I was going to have a meeting about how to obtain the restaurant tonight for Mami's maid cafe. I'm canceling the meeting and telling you what's happening here and now. Ask me any questions over the network.
Mami and Kirino, you two are members of the student council, so you won't be doing anything that specifically breaks rules. We'll have the NPC cordone off the area to make it a safe place from shadows. There are two houses with no one in them, she can let go of one to cover the restaurant. I already discussed it with her. Here's the plan:
After curfew hits, all members of the SSS are to head to the restaurant to assist with redecoration under Mami's supervision, as it will be her cafe.
Any questions, ask me here. I'm not seeing anyone until tonight, I'll be busy.

I was going to have a meeting about how to obtain the restaurant tonight for Mami's maid cafe. I'm canceling the meeting and telling you what's happening here and now. Ask me any questions over the network.
Mami and Kirino, you two are members of the student council, so you won't be doing anything that specifically breaks rules. We'll have the NPC cordone off the area to make it a safe place from shadows. There are two houses with no one in them, she can let go of one to cover the restaurant. I already discussed it with her. Here's the plan:
- 1. Distraction team minus Leon (Kohaku, Yuuko): Guerilla live concert tonight in the auditorium. This will attract most of the adult NPCs and keep them away from the town area, along with a number of lower-age NPCs. Leon will not be going with you because I need him for something else. We're short on people right now and he's the weakest talent in the group.
2. Inigo, Sougo, Yata, and me. You three are in charge of securing the Distraction team. With shadows and teachers going after them, we'll need to stall for as much time as possible. I'll be with you.
3. Leon, Mami, Kirino, Greed, and Ling. Clear out the restaurant in a non-aggressive manner. By which I mean, you're free to flirt your way into talking any staff members and dining guests into the parking lot. Just flirt, you don't have to do anything beyond that, just get them out. Mami, you're in charge of locking up the doors once everyone else is out so that they can't get back in. Eventually they'll give up and go back to their dorms once official "curfew" hits, then we have to rearrange and redecorate that night. We can't obtain all of the tools if we don't claim it while they're open though, so you'll need to get all of the staff members out while you're there.
After curfew hits, all members of the SSS are to head to the restaurant to assist with redecoration under Mami's supervision, as it will be her cafe.
Any questions, ask me here. I'm not seeing anyone until tonight, I'll be busy.

Honestly, getting told off would be a welcome relief to seeing him like this. ]
Jog, Accelerator. Let's avoid any shadows, Kohaku. I don't want to lose him in-transit.
crai this is so late
[The comment about shadows confuses him, but only in that he translates it as shadows enabling his own escape somehow. And no, he doesn't start jogging just yet.]
this thread keeps coming back from the dead, it's beautiful
He just gives him a rough push to the back. Get into gear and move already! ]

My hobbies include you getting a move on.

O-oi! Watch where you're pointing that thing!
[The utterly baffled look of incredulousness on his face is surprisingly realistic for an NPC operating according to programming. And something neither of them will ever see on him again.]

It'll be pointed at your brains soon enough if you don't obey sometime soon.
