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]

[...! 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?

[He nods sagely... and he's always serious so he sucks at this whole humor thing. You decide because he's considering his next move. HMM.]

What do you think of this crazy stuff happening recently, anyway?

Well I haven't noticed a ton yet, but what I have is weird. Some little girl I know ended up two years younger than me. Cute, too.

[And... he risks putting the knight there]

Check. [But not mate]

[Haruki, of course, misses the jealousy entirely. He was too busy looking smug. But now that the knight's gone he needs to regroup. Might as well get some pieces of her's out. He hits one of the pawns with a rook]

[...Hmm. Well, what should he say now?]

So. You never explained what that thing was you said you'd do after you got to America.

Oh, the CIA. Central Intelligence Agency. They do all sorts of secret cool stuff.

And you think you'd be able to handle that?

Yeah, 'course I would.

And what kind of secret stuff would you be hoping to do?

Being an ambassador with aliens or something.
