Hundred Third Explosion

[Action/Voice]

[Well, as some of you might recall, Haruki Suzumiya has been MIA for the better part of this whole affair so far. But now, finally, he's made a full recovery. A full recovery and... he's gone back to his house to confirm that things have recovered. He's inspecting it inside and out so you might happen across him during that, particularly if you're Neku or Shiki.

But aside from that, after he's half-way through this inspection he flips open the journal and-]

Oi, guys, I'm back. [...It's useless to say "did he miss anything" right? Just glancing at the entries while he was out shows he did] So everyone report in.

[Because we wants to make sure everyone's okay]

...you should just tell me.

[And then he modifies the filter at the bottom. Makes it so it includes Katara in the filter as opposed to locking out everyone but him and Sokka. He can't exactly point to it but...]

A few convos up from you, there should be more of mine and his now. Listen to it.

[...And then after a pause with the greatest sincerity she's probably heard from him since he talked about how big Earth was-] ...I'm sorry.

You hit your--? Are you all right? Did you get amnesia? Were you hit by a car?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I don't think so, of course not.

It was during the quake, just some plaster.

[There is a very, very long pause. Far longer than listening to that conversation would be.

He sounds... worse than Jet.]

That. Is not Sokka.

[She's not angry at Haruki, but she is practically trembling with fury. Her brother is -- he likes girls, sure, and is a flirt and all but he never - that - just made her feel dirty.]

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I kinda told him that.

[Haruki knows it's useless, but he offers her a weak smirk. He knows he can't comfort her - hell he's not even good friends with her. But somehow, this makes him think this must be like when he met Kyon... when Kyon rejected him. Hell, maybe it's worse. But he knew that hurt like it was tearing him up inside]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, as long as you weren't buried alive. [...peer. Were you?]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Well.

We had plenty of room down there.

[There's the rage at the way he talked about women, and the total jackassery of him, but there's also a deeper sting, salt on a wound-

She's known for ages that her bending caused a rift between them, and caused Sokka pain. She's known that their life was hard. But to hear Sokka's voice talk about... himself that way...]

I have to go.

[Go and do what, she's not exactly sure, but it will likely involve crying, screaming, and bending, and not necessarily in that order.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Later, Katara.

[...sigh. He hopes he did the right thing.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

[This face. It is a cross between horror and envy.]

If I knew I'd have come to dig you out.

[soundfrequency]

What about the rest of the house?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Oii! We got out just fine! No need to worry about the past.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Only the first floor on this side's got any lasting damage. My room, this bathroom, the hall.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as you're all right now. How long were you buried for?

[soundfrequency]

Well you can use the other room if you have to, right?

[Motioning to what is usually Shiki's room, but this Neku doesn't know that.]

[broke-destiny.livejournal.com]

[Okay, what was that shocked pause?]

Oi, are you okay? Is there something wrong?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I did and you answered. So thank you. Goodbye.

[Guy has just given up on the whole "Guy" thing since apparently EVERYONE calls him that here. He'll just avoid conversation from now on.]

[asimplereason.livejournal.com]

Before you came here, did you have a goal? Or should I say-

What did you want to be when you grew up?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Only the better part of a day and half, I think.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[....What]

Are you stupid?

[Mammon still sounds like Mammon, though less shady and more brighter. She doesn't look like Mammon though, or rather she looks like Mammon... Without her cloaks, instead she looks like any average and chic teenager.]

About time!!! Where the heck have you been? I've been bored! I thought you said being in the Brigade would be fun and that we would bring excitement to this crappy place!

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...What the hell]

...No. No, I'm fine.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Fine, later.
