Hundred Eleventh Explosion

[Action]

[Naturally a bit forward-dating /kicks off event

Hi Luceti? You know how it's morning right now? Maybe like... five in the morning, tops, right now? Well, unfortunately, you sleep is going to be rudely interrupted by a loud and surprisingly deep CAAAAAAWWW coming from House 10. It echoes across a pretty wide area of the village, given it's size. Albeit probably mostly for people on the North end.

One such person awakened by this cry is Haruki Suzumiya, who immediately goes upstairs to find his beloved pet, Sekai (who is now a full-grown rooster and due to his breed the size of a small turkey after being alive a whole year) and then lead him outside. Because he's half-sleep, he doesn't realize what he's wearing... at first. But then, when he walks out the door he is wearing nothing so much as (badly made) stereotypical God costume (think this) complete with a fake beard.

It's also at this point that he notices that the town looks a little different than before. Looking down at Sekai, he sighs, goes back in and gets his journal, ahd flips it open before settling on the porch with his chicken.]

[Voice]

The Organization strikes for Halloween... again. [And following this, he starts to hum the first song that comes to mind; namely "This is Halloween"]

Comments

I would say it suits you, but I'm not sure it does. [To make that comment worse than he intended, the rooster pops in now with a chip that, because of Luceti animal translation will sound like a (surprisingly deep-voiced) "doesn't suit!" Haruki, rather than scolding the bird, beams at it]

But really? I mean, I can take this beard off. Comes back in like two minutes though.

[herotypical]

Don't worry, I'm happier blonde and I'm well aware how very far I'm past the mini-dress. Nineteen-ninety-six was a long time ago. [She has resigned herself to simply accepting this costume. It could've been worse.]

Kind of like a two minute shadow, I guess.

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

I dunno; I bet you could still pull off something like that in Tokyo, foreigner status aside.

[At least, he thinks. Don't quote him; he's not from Tokyo]

[herotypical]

I'll try to remember that on the off-chance I ever go. [Which she will, less than a year from her current canon-point. With her one-night-stand-girlfriend Satsu the Vampire Slayer.]

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

Right then. [...Her outfit is more familiar than that though. He keeps looking it over, feeling he might be missing something]

[herotypical]

[She eyes him eying her.]...What? Is it the colour combo? 'Cause, I know...purple and green kinda take a while to get used to, visually.

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

I think you might be dressed as someone from a TV show or something, but I can't put my finger on it.

[herotypical]

You haven't figured it out yet? [A slight smirk of her own, now.] Hint? Let me know if you see a talking, cowardly dog around here.

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

[ . . . ]

Whoa you're... the stick. Whatever her name was.

[herotypical]

Daphne. Her name is Daphne.

[Frowning--the stick]

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

Right, thanks. From the Scooby Doo show.

[herotypical]

It makes me think the Malnosso might have a sense of humour hid somewhere deep amidst all their creeptasticness.

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

Of course they do. That old guy's a horny bastard. [A pause and then he sighs] They just suck with jokes.

[herotypical]

I just mean...my friends? The--uh--people I work with back home? We called ourselves the Scoobies. Still do, I guess. What with all the mystery-solving. And this seems like a pretty cheap way for the Malnosso to show off that they know that.

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

...Oh. Well of course they know that; aren't a good half of them here anyway?

[herotypical]

Half? [She counts.] Almost, I guess. I just never expected them to make the pop culture link, really.

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

Look at the holidays they celebrate- Halloween, Valentines, Christmas? Someone high up in there is clearly American.

[herotypical]

Christmas isn't just American. [An unsure pause.] Is it? Well--no, of course it's not. Giles celebrates Christmas and he is so not American.

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

Of course it's not, you idiot. Japan celebrates it. [Okay, he cant's take this. It'll pop on soon enough, he knows, but he's taking off this beard]

[herotypical]

[Taking a cue from him, she starts struggling with the bright pink go-go boots. Chilly Autumn morning be damned!]

...Then, what's your point again? 'Cause it sounds like the hypothetical holiday-knowing baddie could be Japanese, too.

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

Japan got the holiday from the West. Same for Valentines. Plus Halloween isn't big over by us. 'Least not in Nishinomiya.

[herotypical]

That's...where you're from? Nisho--Nish--[give a second]--Nishinomiya?

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

NI-SHI-NO-MI-YA. [He sighs here and then nods] That's right. Born and raised.

[herotypical]

So you've never moved? Well, until you came here. If you can count here as a move.

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

Nah; I lived there the whole time. I don't think there's... well it's dull but it's not... unexpected, I guess.
