025th Shattering * Audio / Written

[breaks_destiny]

New year, new life. Isn't that what people say? I suppose in general we can say life is the same for us here, right? But that's how it usually goes, not everyone changes countries, kingdoms or whatever there is in your world, each year, do they? It's in the smaller details where things change and new ones come to us.

We're still starting, but does anyone have something new already? Or plan to get something new during this year? I myself have got a girlfriend, the beautiful Ushiromiya Ange, sorry guys but she's out of the market now!

[And he's laughing like an idiot. Really it's not hard to see he's very happy with that. Any more immature and he would be doing a dance going "girlfriend, girlfriend, Ange's now my girlfriend".]

So... Who wants to go to have dinner at the Seventh Heaven one of those days? Or have a sandwich based dinner, I can do those.

[There's a quick but decently done portrait of Minato in the page now. Under it appears a written message.]

Good-looking young man, single and without any compromise. Very intelligent and resourceful, knows the worth of listening to others and puts it in practice often. Likes to sleep, take pictures, listen to music and hang around the village. Has been around here for three years or so. Good friend of his friends. Looking for more friends, specially females. For more references you can ask about Arisato Minato to: Minako, Shiki, Haruhi and Keiichi.

Interested people can ring directly to Arisato Minato's journal.

Okay, okay. I was just testing her.

[Voice] // filtered

[breaks_destiny]

I figured you would do so when you met her. Leader's rights and such?

[Voice] // filtered

[godbent]

Yeah, she's on phase two now.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

... What is phase two?

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

I can't tell you in case you tell her.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

Can you tell me how many phases there are? ... And what they are for while we're at it.

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

Five, and to test her, obviously!

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

Why do you have to test her so throughly when you aren't the one dating her?

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

Because you're the one dating her, obviously.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

So you won't bother anyone else's girlfriends? Just mine?

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

It's just a casual review of your life choices.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

Casual. Right. Well, so long as you don't bother her too much I suppose I won't mind it.

[Keiichi sighs, honestly part of him is bothered that Haruhi would want to "review his life choices" as if she had any say in the matter, but it can't hurt to let her, right? Hopefully she won't come to dislike Ange or anything and try to do more than just voice her opinion.]

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

Come on, she won't be bothered at all!

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

With you in the formula it's hard to say, unfortunately. Depends on how carried away you get.

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

This is a right of passage, she can handle it if she can handle liking you that much.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

And what is your base for such a claim?

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

You're about ten times weirder than I am.

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

Weirder doesn't equal worse and you have no idea how I am with her, so you can't say that.

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

I know how you are in general, so I'm a character witness. Besides, what she described amounts to sexual harassment.

[There's a dead silence on his end for a minute as he stares at the journal. Ange forgot to mention that part. He had imagined that with the "S-type" comments and such there would have been some exaggerations on Haruhi's part but... That?]

You just didn't say that.

[She did, though, he knows that, but hopefully she will take the hint and retract at least for appearances sake... Then again it's Haruhi, he doesn't really have much hope on that.]

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

...What? That sort of gift assault totally is harassment.

[WIGGLE. What, Keiichi are you overreacting again...]

[voice] //Filtered

[breaks_destiny]

[Silence. He frowns and grits his teeth, right, she does have a point in that. Still he doesn't like the way she worded it. Or that she has to test Ange for anything at all... Probably it's just him, most surely he's just overreacting and taking it wrong because it's Haruhi doing it. Would he mind it if Minato did so? Or Shiki? Or Ami? No, he minds because it's Haruhi... The girl who likes to throw at him accusations as if they were free and weightless, man y of them are like that indeed, but others have got a bad taste in his mouth.]

Harassment, maybe it is. Sexual harassment is not... But I'm not sure right now if you even really care about the difference.

[His tone is still bothered but it's calm, or trying to.]

[Ugh]

2/3

[godbent]

What the hell do you take me for, Keiichi? Look, I don't know his or her circumstances, and I'm not prying or anything. I'm making generalizations based on what has been said and working with things I know. But fine, fine. At worst you've probably said this or that, but given what a weirdo she seems like, I bet she likes this or that.

[voice] //Filtered

[godbent]

After all, I'm glad. [And don't put words in my mouth]
