[The power being cut off doesn't faze Haruhi since this sort of thing happens at her old apartment back in Tokyo. However, one thing is bothering her...]

Ugh... What's that smell?

[Making her way to the phone, she uses a pillow case to tie around her face in order to cover her nose.]

Tamaki-senpai? Mori-senpai? Hikaru? Kaoru? Anyone? What's

Your house probably has a gas leak. You should probably get out.

[ohsoblunt]

[Not good. Not good at all. Going out of the house would be the logical thing to do but...]

I should but...

[Tucking the phone into her chin, she peaks draws back the curtain in order to peek what was happening outside.]

The people outside seem... very restless. [To herself]Maybe I should find somewhere else to spend the night...

[the_wee_big_hag]

You have to be careful about them. They'll attack you if you stay out there too long.

My house had a gass leak as well. We're staying at 341 Brady Lane right now. The people there are offering shelter to people who need it.

[ohsoblunt]

... I'll keep that in mind. I'm asking a friend right now if I can spend the night at his house.

[serverofshota]

Haruhi!

[ohsoblunt]

Senpai! Are you all right?

[This is coming from a girl whose house has a gas leak 8|]

[serverofshota]

Get out of the house!

[ohsoblunt]

I know!

...

Ah! Where do you live, senpai? Can I stay there until everything blows over?

[fuelefficient]

I am just as confused about the situation as you are.

[ohsoblunt]

Someone told me my house has a gas leak and the power's out. How about you, sir?

[Pauses to think where she should go without any of the drones seeing her.]

[fuelefficient]

All my utilities seem to be in working order.

[ohsoblunt]

Oh... you're very lucky.

I'm sorry I have to cut the conversation short, sir. I need to get out of my house because there's a gas leek here. My name's Haruhi Fujioka, by the way.

[white_pretear]

What kind of smell?

[ohsoblunt]

I was told it was a gas leak. I shouldn't be inhaling too much of it.

[white_pretear]

Gas leaks too!? Is this town just falling apart?

[ohsoblunt]

I haven't been here long but I think the town sometimes "does" this sort of thing on purpose...

But anyway, I have to get out of my house. I'm really sorry we're meeting like this, miss. I'm Haruhi Fujioka, by the way.

[eldest_hatter]

I would be careful if there is a smell. There have been gas leaks.

[ohsoblunt]

So I've heard. I was told there was acid rain, too. Is this true?

[eldest_hatter]

Yes, on some streets.

[ohsoblunt]

Oh dear.

I'll be sure to avoid those streets then. Anyway, I have to leave the house soon, miss. I'm really sorry for cutting our conversation short. I'm Haruhi Fujioka, by the way.
