You're from the same place as the other Haruhi? It's hard to imagine someone like you and someone like her even being from the same planet.

[a_normal_human]

Tell me about it.

It makes sense, though, what with the uniforms.

*they are playing chess right now for this, why the heck not - Kyon grins childishly smugly as he takes Haruhi's Knight*

...Either way, I'm glad that there's *some* reason for her pulling me into the brigade so quick.

[heroic_commoner]

I don't think she'd really need a reason to pull you in. She just does whatever she wants.

*smiles warmly as she takes Kyon's rook*

Did you remember anything else about those other people, or just their names?

[a_normal_human]

*eyebrow twitch, scans the board some more*

...Names, and their faces. Yuki Nagato was a short-haired girl with glasses, of small stature. Itsuki Koizumi was a tall pretty-boy type. Something like that.

And I get certain feelings of intrigue and apprehension when I think about either of them. Go ahead. Guess which belongs to who.

[chronoslip]

Eh? You need to talk to me, Kyon?

In that case, would you like to come to my room and talk?

[a_normal_human]

Yesofcourse!

*cough* I'll...be right over.

*a few minutes later - knock knock*

CALM DOWN, ME. There is nothing at all exciting about visiting a girl's room. Just like there's nothing exciting about winning the lottery three times in a row.

I wonder if it's covered in pink things... Naw, she probably hasn't lived here long enough. Duh.

Ah? Who is it?

*cracks the door a little*

[chronoslip]

K-Kyon!! *slams it shut in his face*

Ah, um, p-please wait a minute, I need to clean up!!

[yo_yo_mercenary]

Oh, you remembered some of your friends? That's great, Kyon~ =D

You know Haruhi from home? It must be great having friends from home here with you! =3

[a_normal_human]

In some ways...

I'm much happier about being able to live with Mikuru-san than Haruhi, though.

[yo_yo_mercenary]

Silly Kyon, don't be like that. It's always nice to have your friends around~

I wish one of my friends from home was here...

[a_normal_human]

...

Who were they?

[lilac_whirlwind]

So you and Haruhi are from the same world? You seem really different from each other.

[a_normal_human]

To be sure. Still, I figured that there was a good chance that we were from the same place, given the similarity of our school uniforms that we came here in. It's nice that we came wearing some clues as to who we all are.
