☯ 006

[deviousintent]

[Hikaru is standing next to a bin of flashlights. These flashlights contain buzzers that will shock you if you try to turn them on. 83]

I only have a few, but I thought I'd share. [BIG SMILE.] Tono, Axel, I even saved some for you! You too, Ryuzaki. You're all lucky I'm being so generous. [waves finger all scolding-like] These were hard to find.

[cruciverbal]

Flashlights? That's very thoughtful, Hikaru.

[deviousintent]

We have to be prepared in case the rest of the houses go out like yours did. [Offers one.]

[cruciverbal]

Oh, thank you, but my power came right back.

[Nibbling his thumb, not taking the flashlight]

Are there others who've lost power?

[deviousintent]

Oh. [Pretends to be thinking long and hard.] Then you can keep it to be prepared.

How would I know? Not everyone has been talking about it.

[onlyformerit]

I hope you're charging for these.

[deviousintent]

[zjkhvajv WHERE DID YOU COME FROM]

[deviousintent]

It's not like we can buy anything with the money here. Almost nobody can see us.

[onlyformerit]

[The Shadow King is everywhere] You should have at least charged for the advertising space.

[a_ccidentalism]

Did you hit your head?

[deviousintent]

[Wistful SIGH.] And to think, I went through all the trouble of getting this for you.

[a_ccidentalism]

Sorry, I'm hard to please.

[deviousintent]

You probably just like the dark.

[special_student]

... [leers at the bin of flashlights]

I think I'll stick to the candles I've been using. They'll last a few more days.

[deviousintent]

[8D grabs!] Haruhi! I was just looking for you, Tono asked that you bring him his flashlight.

[special_student]

[stares, then sighs]

Go figure. [holds out a hand] Fine, I'll take one to him.

[deviousintent]

[Big grin, handing one to you with something of a flourish.] I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
