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]

Mm, I don't think you'd fit well in an office either. You'd be a great motivational speaker, though.

[He might not be paying much attention, but he also doesn't want to lose. He moves a pawn in the way in such a fashion that if taken another pawn can take the bishop next turn]

Motivational speaker, huh? Sounds kinda lame.

Sounds to me better than some other things.

Yeah, well... I guess. Maybe I could hop a boat to America and join the CIA.

To where to do what?

America. It's- ...Oi, hold on. [He stands up, and after some rummaging through the shelves behind his chair produces a world map (http://a.imageshack.us/img293/3814/worldmapkr6.jpg) to set on the table next to her.]

See, my nation, Japan, is right here. [And he stabs that with his thumb] America's over here. [And then his index finger goes there]

But that's... well on the other side of the world, isn't it?

Well... yeah. I mean it's a long flight, I think it'd last the better part of a day.

Fli-?

They have airplanes in your world?

Oh, yeah. 'Course we do.

That's so cool. Have you ever been on one?

Well... once, I guess. We went to Hokkaido, after all.

What's it like?

[...! Oh bitch- he moves his rook into a firing position for that same knight]

Well... I dunno. It's kinda like a bus in some ways, 'cept it messes up your stomach more.

Messes up your stomach?

Well yeah... s'kind lurch thing because plans move very, very fast and through different air pressures and stuff.

[...Well that's no good. He moves a random pawn again, perhaps opening the way for his queen to move later]

Oh, right. Is it all that unpleasant?

Not... really. Just odd.

[...Hm. Well. Okay, he'll move the queen just towards the center of the board like]

Fascinating.

So really no airplanes at all back where you are?

Nope! But they might just be around the bend. I'm sure something like that won't elude us for long.

Yeah well we developed them like a century ago. If you can handle things like automail I'm sure you can handle this.

Is that encouragement, Haruki, or flattery?

[The queen is a decoy- he moves one of his own knights into a position where he might check the king next move]

It's fact; we can't pull off stuff like automail.

Oh, is that how it is?
