Forty-Seventh Explosion

[Written // Private // 75% Unhackable]

...Love really sucks, doesn't it? It's still a total waste of time and it makes no sense and it hurts and this is stupid. Jeez. This place sucks even more though. I've only been here a year and I might as well have aged six. ...This sucks. This really sucks.

[Voiced]

Oi! Luceti! Did you all enjoy Tenabata?! Expect you wishes to come true in sixteen or twenty-five years! After all, Altair and Vega are respectively twenty-five and sixteen life-years from Earth, and seeing as how it's an Earth holiday even if the stars are different here I'm sure the message'll beam in the same amount of them. And that's according to the theory of relativity! I'm sure Orihime and Hikoboshi can ignore that stuff. I mean they're gods, right? It's like a two for one deal! 'Sides, no rain at all. I'm sure they had a nice romantic night back then.

[...He pauses here. He seems to consider saying more, and then makes a malcontent sigh] Yeah. A really good night for them, I'm sure they'll listen. Walter, Rika, Shiki, Angel, all you guys, I'm sure it'll come true. Maybe Altair's even closer here. [And then he grunts and shuts the journal]

[Action // For Neku in particular]

[It is about midnight. House #10 is supposed to be all peaceful and quiet now, right? WELL NOT SO. Haruki Suzumiya is quite awake and he's got a mission in mind. A mission that prompts him to knock on Neku's door at this ungodly hour. If he doesn't answer he'll just open it on up too]

[pretty much accidental and spoken under his breath] Sixteen or twenty-five years. Hmph... Wonderful. Unsurprisingly useless.

What?

[pause. uh. what. ...crap.]

There's no telling where you'll be in sixteen or twenty-five years.

[...Heh. Like he doesn't know that] 'Course there isn't. Guess that's why it's supposed to be fairly general.

"Fairly general"?

Just like... things you know you won't stop wanting, or something. [...Grunt] Hopes for the future, I guess.

Hopes for the future. I see.

[Not really.]

Angry guy like you? I'm sure it'll come true.

[Your ignorance annoys him, but not enough to yell something.]

Sixteen or twenty-five years aren't going to make a difference for some things.

Twenty-five years was enough to for my country to forgive and get on good terms with a country that we attacked and were at war with for five years and they dropped two bombs that killed like 200,000 of our citizens, maybe more if you take into account people that died from radiation or starvation or whatever.

[He's silent on the other end. Well, that's all fine and good for you and your country...]

Like I said, the time isn't going to make a difference for some things.

If you don't work for it it sure won't, yeah.

And what about the dead? You think sixteen to twenty-five years of waiting is going to do them any good?

[...That's awkward. He's going to make a distinct pause, and then, after that in a voice which is distant because he can't handle all this heavy shit]

...Yeah. Someone who's dead is going to be looking after their family or loved ones they left behind. Sixteen or twenty-five years is enough time to make things better for those people.

[All your light and happy stuff disappeared a loooong time ago, Haruki. You're just fueled by ... well, what's left.]

...Hn.

[That's actually something attune to what he was thinking. Which could be a good thing.]

Indeed.

The festival for Tanabata was a really good idea!

((ooc: it is okay if she hacks? She'd only catch the words 'love' and 'sucks'))

Course it was!

[Perfectly acceptable!]

Was it your idea, Haruki?

Who else? I mean I am the chief of the SOS-Brigade.

The what?

The SOS-Brigade.

What's that?

It's pretty much the best club ever invented.

It is?

I just said it was so it is!

What does the club do?

Seek out the mysteries of this world and make sure everyone is leading an interesting life!

Mysteries...like the Malnosso?

Why does everyone focus on the damned aliens about Everything?! Jeez.

Oh, sorry! Then what?

Like how some people are from weird places or have crazy super powers or some of the neat stuff that happens!

How do you do that?

You get to know them! You throw parties and generally search around!

That sounds fun!

'Course it is! I mean we are the best club ever.

Oh, I see!

Um...Haruki?

...What.

[And finally she is done stalling.]

Um...why did you say that 'love sucks'?

[GLARE. Instant, powerful ~~fucking bipolar holy crap Suzumiya~~ GLARE]

Shut up.

[Oh dear, at least she's had a bit worse. Still, cue apologetic flailing.]

I'm sorry! Um, I was just worried.

[GRUNT. What is it with people and doing that when he glares. Jeez. Cripes.]

...Whatever.

[He needs to look into a mirror next time he does that.]

Um! I'm very sorry!

Shut up! Jeez! You say you're sorry and then you're sorry and then if it's shrugged off that means your still sorry! What's with apologizing again after you already established that you're sorry?! Jeez! I even said it was fine, whatever, and then you press the point a bit more, what kinda idiot are you?!

[/flawless logic]

[Hey, stop sounding frighteningly like Haseo.]

Right! I'm sor--

Um, right. I'll stop bothering you.

...Whatever. Jeez..

[HARUKI SUZUMIYA: Bearer of no people skills]

Okay.

[pfft, expect to not be approached by Atoli for a bit now.]

So what did you wish for?

...Stuff. What about you?

Promise not to tease?

...Sure, whatever. Why would I? A wish's a wish's a wish.

I wished for a ~~husband~~ boyfriend.

[...Hah. Fortunately, Haruki Suzumiya is ALWAYS serious even when he's being absurd, so he doesn't like laugh at that or anything. Still, on hearing this, he grunts and then shrugs a little. ...Jeez] ...Jeez.

... You okay?

That's such a generic one. Jeez.

Well, given the circumstances, I figured this is the best one that'd come true.

...A wish is a wish and on Tanabata of all times it's for the future. If you want it to come true then you damn well gotta work for it too. Waiting around like a moron never got anyone anywhere.

Heh, I'll try not to disappoint.

[...WHAT. Blush. Guh guh guh what] ...What the hell's that supposed to mean?

I mean I'll take your advice and work for it.

Good. That's... good.

[Yeah he's not answering. He's not asleep though, but he is in bed. He's hoping whoever is at the door will get the hint and go away.]

[Haruki Suzmiya kicks logic to the curb! ...Or more accurately he just doesn't give a shit if there's no answer. Now let's just get it open. Doesn't matter if it's locked or not; if it's locked he'll just pick it. He's gotten practice with all the locks in this house a few days he was really bored.

...Either way, he's going to bust on in there, and once he's in he's gunna glare at wherever the head-phones fool is]

We're going star-gazing.

[Also explain to me why I listen to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnXTfim83dI) song for inspiration]

Edited 2009-07-12 00:19 (UTC)

[...what. Okay sitting up in bed so he can give Haruki an "are you crazy?" look.]

You're not serious.

[And because it really is a nice song that needs to have a full version]

[HARUKI SUZUMIYA IS ALWAYS SERIOUS. This is why he's going to walk on over and glare down at the shorter guy in the bed there]

I said we are so we are!

[Yep, you're insane. Just kind of... scoots away a little]

Why?

'Cus I said so. Now hurry up and get up.

[Don't make him drag you]

...whatever. Can I at least get dressed first?

Fine, sure. [But he's not leaving the room. He's gunna go over to the wall nearest the door and lean against it]

...

[Has no idea why he's even agreeing to this arghhhh. Damnit he's in his boxers too... oh well. Climbs out of bed and grabs his clothes, getting dressed in a rush]

Good! [Once he's dressed this guy is gunna lead him outside, to where there is always a step-ladder to lead to the roof]

[This is so awkward, but... Neku's following him. Sulkily]

[Good boy. Once they're there though, Haruki's just going to flop on his back. HE can't get over how bright they all are here]

They must be like a million times brighter than in Shibuya.

[Lays on his back a bit away from Haruki. Damn they are bright here.]

Yeah you can't really see them that well.

But you couldn't, yeah.

[...What to say here, what to say...]

Look, if you're trying to make an effort to be friends with me because of Shiki then don't bother. You'd probably end up having a stroke.

Who the hell wants to be friends with you? Let alone because of her? What kinda dumbass are you?

[Grunt. That's not it anyway.]

[guh, sits up]

Then why the hell did you bring me out here?

To star-gaze. Duh.

[This is his "You're a moron" look]

Hmph.

[Just... lays back again and looks up at the sky, trying to ignore how awkward this is]

[Not awkward. It's just two people looking at the stars. Haruki isn't feeling the awkward now that he established that. As such, after a moment, he's going to wave a hand or something before:]

'Sides, you're invited here 'cus I wanted an artist nearby.

For what?

If the Brigade ever needs a new sign or poster or something. You made our current on.

...that's right, I remember people saying I've been here before. What's the Brigade?

The SOS-Brigade. It's pretty much the best thing ever invented! A club for seeking out the mysteries of this world and making sure everyone leads an worthwhile and interesting life!

A club. Right.

More like the club!

Well I guess I don't have a problem doing art for you.

Good. That's your price for being in the house. [...Plus hitting on Kyonko and other stuff. But after that, he's going to smile a bit up at the stars]

[Whatever, man. But hey, now that you brought him up here, he's probably going to start coming out here more often. Yay for peace and quiet with a good view]

[Damn right he will. That's par- no it's not. But still, it's a good thing he did, right?]

[Yeah, it is, but Neku will never tell him that. Best not let Haruki's ego inflate anymore]

...You're still a porcupine though.

[And you're still a bipolar loudmouth]

Yeah, sure.

Good, then we agree on that.

[...Grunt. There's a pause before:]

So you're good to stay, so long as we agree on all that stuff.

...thanks, I guess.

... what's the point of making a wish if it's going to take that long to come true? By then you'll probably have forgotten all about it.

Because it's about looking to the future! Jeez.

Maybe, but I think most people expect their wishes to come true in a year or two, not twenty-five.

Yeah, and they're morons. Things just don't fall into place like that without any sort of effort.

But I thought the whole point of a wish was to wish for something that you couldn't make come true yourself.

Yeah, but you can't just expect it to come true just like that! [Read: At my core I'm a realist]

If you wait for things then you'll just keep on waiting and it'll be boring. It's altogether more logical and awesome to work for what you want. You tell me I can't fly I'll get in an airplane. You tell me I can't turn invisible and I'll go in a stealth bomber. Eventually even if your goal's to find aliens you can come here and bingo, there they are!

I never said you shouldn't work for it, just that it shouldn't take twenty-five years to come true. I don't think anyone out there is going to want to work for that long.

And that's why you ask them for someone that's gunna take that long, idiot.

O-oh.

...Jeez. I mean if you ask for something like "I want a car" why would two people having a love affair even listen to you? If you asked for something more like wanting to meet a car that turns into a giant robot, then sure it's better like that!

Do things like that really exist?

'Course they do!

Um... what's a car?

It's like a boat but on land and smaller.

I wonder if the Malnosso have any here in Luceti. I mean, they've got spaceships, right?

Who said they have space-ships? Don't you think they'd get off this rock if they did?

Then how else would they get to all of the different worlds to kidnap people?

Wormholes, duh.

... I don't think the Malnosso could fit through something like that.

Wormholes, dumbass! As in rips in space an time!

Um...

[This is Emil not getting it.]

What are you, an idiot or something?

I'm not an idiot! I've just never heard of a wormhole before, that's all.

Moron! That kinda excuse is that?!

....It's like a rip in time and space. It's a big tunnel thing that gets people quickly form one point to another.

We didn't learn anything about space at all in school. I'd never even heard of spaceships before I came to Luceti.

Yeah... here's hoping the wishes come true sooner...

...Yeah.

So... is there some rule against sharing what you asked for?

If you wanna say something, you can. Sure. I guess.

Well, what'd you ask for Haruki...

For the Earth to revolve around me.

[Or as a psychic and no one else might read it: "To be a special person."

Or at least that's one of his two]

Isn't that kinda selfish?

So?

I guess I'm just as guilty...

Yeah, what's that then?

...a boyfriend...

...That seems to be a theme. Jeez.

Well... some people just have bad luck and need a little divine intervention...

...That's stupid. You're cute and stuff.

Well... but... all the guys I like are jerks or... dating another guy...

Well... except one but...

[...What]

Then just got out with someone if you wanna.

Well... You and I only just started getting along not long ago...

...What's that even go to do with anything?

Wait... you seriously don't get it?

[No. No I do not.]

You said... "Just date someone" and I said "We only started getting along."

...c'mon Haruki...

...What the hell, Uriko.

W-What do you mean "what the hell!"? ~~...I think I like you...~~

So what ever happened with Rohan anyway?

He's a little more interested in someone else...

...Huh. Figures I guess.

Yeah...

Uhm... so...

What?

S-seriously? You're not getting it again? Do I really have to be that blunt with you?

...Jeez. Quit being stupid.

Edited 2009-07-20 19:11 (UTC)

... ... ...

Should I be blunt then? I~~'m pretty sure I~~ like you.

[Haruki Suzumiya is no moron. He knew that was coming. Even so, what with being so tsundere, he immediate reaction is to blush...]

[...Then glare..]

[Then grunt and look away from his book]

... Be sure to show up to the meetings. I don't care if it's raining in future.

W-wait... that's it? That's all you have to say?

Shut up. Jeez.

[...Grunt. Time for escapism] I'm gunna go take a shower.
