Minato, you seem to have left some of your clothing here. Would you like me to be painfully domestic and wash it before I return it?

My mother wants me to start thinking about my college goals. I'm not sure at all, really... she thinks I should either quit the soccer club next year and focus on my studies, or go all-out for a sports scholarship. I think I'll try and convince her that I can balance both of them easily, as my grades haven't suffered so far.

In any case, I was thinking about possibly going into astronomy. She nearly had a heart attack when I bought that expensive telescope in middle school, I should eventually try and convince her that it was productive.

(( WHAT IF HE IS NOT AN ESPER. Since I just realized this incredibly obvious idea now, assume any of the commenting he's done around previously is pre-virus. Also he's going to be slightly less formal and opaque, just making sure people know that's on purpose xD ))

It's nearly that time of year again, isn't it? Thankfully I'm much less busy than I was last year around this time.

Doctor, thank you for sheltering me for a few days. I became quite lost exploring, it was most exciting.

Doctor, if I need a secure place to disappear to on a moment's notice, can I prevail upon you to stop by with the TARDIS?

When it comes down to it, I'm not entirely sure

There is a

...My natural caution is making this difficult. Or unnatural caution, perhaps, which is the problem in itself.

Although it's not quite right to call it a problem, is it? A while ago it would have simply been a frustrating issue to contend with, one that I resented. That's changed, now, which in a way, makes it more difficult.

There are very few people that I trust, and even fewer that I confide in. I'm well aware most of you would say that's not very healthy, but it's simply a fact of how I conduct myself with others. And I'm not entirely sure that I mind this.

[ he sounds mostly normal, he's trying to hide his hangover ]

Now I have something to point to when someone asks me why I don't drink. I get the feeling I was mostly coherent at first, but from there it all gets a little odd... I do clearly remember bowling, however. It added that necessary bit of surrealism to my day.

...Lisa, you didn't actually buy a bat-signal, did you?

I managed to solve the Rubik's cube at last this afternoon. I suppose it would have gone rather quicker if I had given in and looked up strategies, but solving the puzzle yourself is half the fun, isn't it?

[ Rings the doorbell of Haruhi's house; she wasn't at school today and although there wasn't any closed space to worry about, he was still rather curious as to why she'd skipped. If she needed a reason why he was stopping by, he could always come up with something to say about the Brigade, he supposed. ]

[ he's chilling in Kaito's hospital room after school, reading a book; his condition isn't so severe any more that it's out of anxiety-- rather, he assumes Kaito will appreciate an explanation when he wakes up, which the doctors said should be sometime today. An assurance that his cover hasn't been blown, as well. ]

I've found someone who can help him.

He requires aid, though, and it's likely to be dangerous. I don't have any powers or skills to speak of, but I trust you'll be wiling to help?

Sanada-san, Iori-san, I'm afraid I haven't made much headway in finding reliable methods of resurrection. Most people seem rather of the opinion that it's a foolish thing to do.

Although I was informed by-- Aigis-san, I believe her name was, that he might not be as typically dead as people tend to be. Would you happen to know any more details about that?

[ is waiting at the usual meeting place in the middle of town for Haruhi; she'd told him in no uncertain terms that he was coming shopping with her today, and although he had been a little bemused, he certainly wasn't going to refuse ]

[ Itsuki is at home in his apartment, on the couch with the cat on his lap, doing his homework; his apartment has gotten steadily messier over the past few days and his books are spread out over the floor. He's plainly having a bit of trouble concentrating and is currently distracted with his Rubik's cube, which he still hasn't completed ]

I seem to have misplaced my list of girls I owe chocolate to for White Day. I had hoped to take care of it early, but I suppose I do have two weeks left.

In addition, would anyone happen to have any hangover cures? I don't need them for myself, don't worry.

[ trying his best to unlock his apartment door with a very drunk Shiro propped up against him ]

At least you thought to call me before you got yourself into trouble. Remember that time with Batman?

Kaito-- would you happen to be free this weekend? If you remember you offered to teach me some simple sleight-of-hand a little while back, but I was busy and had to postpone. I'm free now, thankfully, if you wouldn't mind stopping by my world for a bit.

[ Locked to Ten, Donna, Kyon, Cuddy ]

I thought I should let you know that Tieria knows about Suzumiya-san. He was getting very close to figuring it out on his own, and I had to explain it to him to prevent him from asking her directly about it.



(( alibi for prank-plot is go 8D ))

I quite enjoyed the food you were kind enough to bring for me, Asahina-san. It certainly made dinner much more enjoyable for a few days. I'll return your tupperware as soon as possible.

I don't suppose anyone has any experience with Rubik's cubes? I'm finding myself at quite a loss.

A late Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you for the gifts, everyone that's relevant to.

(( Christmas list finally pretty much done orz ))

Kyon-kun, I'm going to be out of school for a few days. Again. Homework and all that, if you wouldn't mind, I'm sure you're used to it by now.

Also... Setsuna, I believe it was? A word, if you wouldn't mind.

[ Private | Unhackable ]

It's a little disheartening that I went to all the trouble to obtain high-security coding, and I can't even bring myself to complain when I know no one will see it. Either that says something about my patience or something about the extent to which I go to... hmm. I wonder?

Ah-- it seems like things are settling down a bit. Kyon-kun, thank you for feeding my cat; Dr. Cuddy is improving steadily, so I should be able to come home and take over from you.

Sorata, how is your situation? I did intend to possibly stop by, but things come up, as they often do.

Somehow I feel like there's something I've forgotten, but I can't quite recall what it is. I still have Christmas shopping to take care of, and a few days worth of school work to do, but--

Hm.

...

Minato, would you mind repeating what you mentioned about the world ending?
