.... in light of the many recent hostile incursions of various life forms to Desai, I have reluctantly decided that facing Haruhi is preferable to remaining in the city at this time.

Unfortunately, without an escort, I don't believe I could survive uneaten between here and the train station.

[big yawn]  Am I dreaming?  This place seems very real, but it's definitely not the same place I went to bed in...  A Chinese philosopher once asked if he was a man who had dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly who was dreaming he was a man, and maybe this is kind of like that... only I'm definitely not a butterfly!  Anyway, if it is a dream, I ( Read more... )

Annoying Self-Analysis

Normally I would categorize myself as a sane individual, just an ordinary teenager trying to be normal, but inder the circumstances that assessment just doesn't hold up.  It's true that I'm in Desai so that I can avoid being dragged into irritating supernatural occurances back home, but as I've actively sought them out here ( Read more... )

Lately I've had the recurring concern that I've been wasting my time in Desai.  After all, what am I but a high school student with no paranormal abilities or exceptional talents?  Contributing to fighting demons and unraveling conspiracies is a childish fantasy that cannot possiubly be fulfilled by an ordinary human being, if I look at it ( Read more... )

You would think that after repeated incidents of lethal peril, you would grow accustomed to being dramatically snatched from the jaws of death, but with every close call, danger only becomes more obnoxious than it was before ( Read more... )

When I was younger, I would occasionally daydream about being a private investigator, staking out mysterious locations until I saw some sign of sinister activity.  When it appeared, I would use my unparalleled stealth skills to sneak in and acquire evidence of what exactly was going on.  To make the daydream exciting, I would of course be caught in ( Read more... )

Has anyone else just received a party invitation?  I'm not at all familiar with Walpurgis Night, and ordinarily I would automatically decline anything so patently mysterious as this; but I've been feeling somewhat left out of all the inexplicable occurrences around town, and in any case, I don't wish to become a shut-in.  On the other hand, I'm the ( Read more... )

It was not my intention to make such a sudden and precipitous departure, but I promise it was for a good cause.  Think of it as if I'd had to suddenly leave to prevent Godzilla from destroying Tokyo, or an event of similar magnitude.  The only people who I had time to explain to were my bosses ( Read more... )

Sorry for disturbing everyone, but I have a question for the people who have returned from their bizarre age regressions.  Do you remember encountering any people who seemed to be tour guides, or drinking tea or a similar beverage, right before becoming younger?  Gabriel  Sylar-san mentioned something of the kind, and I thought collecting accounts ( Read more... )

What is the meaning of life?  I've always found that to be an irrelevant question.  The basic conditions of life are different for all people, and so you would get a different answer depending on who you asked.  A normal high school student would tell you one thing, whereas someone living in a different time, like the future, would have an answer ( Read more... )
