I decided to take Haruhi's advise, and I'll be taking every day off of work that I still wake up feeling this out of sorts. ((when he wakes up Wednesday and feels back to normal, he'll go back to work; so just 3 days off work)) It's obviously the island's fault--AGAIN--that all this weird stuff is happening, so that just means it'll go away if we

Uh, yeah. What is it?

[sore_feet_man]

*looks around to check for anybody spying on them*

*holds out the shiny glowy star to her* This. I need to make sure I don't loose it while my head is still in a funk. I think it's important, 'cause it just showed up out of nowhere. That must mean it's magical, right? Like the island gave it to me, that kind of thing.

[heroic_commoner]

Well, it might be. It's pretty, at least.

All right, when do you want me to give it back?

[sore_feet_man]

When I'm better.

*turns and looks back at her with a very defeated face*

I don't want you to see me...acting like such a fool. I don't-- I-- *can barely put his feelings into words* --I need to be dependable. I have to show you that I'm dependable, I have to... *turns his face away, ashamed*

Weird glowy star piece? Can you tell us more about it?

[sore_feet_man]

I just...found it in my room, last night. I don't know how it get there. I think it might be important though, so I gave it to someone to hold onto for safe-keeping until I get back to normal. Hopefully really, really soon.

Oh-- G-geez, Anon, don't...sneak on people like that. *is actually at fault for just not paying attention to his surroundings well right now*

Um, I'm sorry if I'm acting strange. I think the island's magic is at work again. And I-- *while gesturing with his hands, accidentally knocks some nearby pile of papers over* --ACK crap geez

[watches this fine display, gnawing on his thumb and looking generally irritated. Yoki-kun was HIS Yoki-kun, not this Yoki-kun. ] ..... I see.

When will Yoki-kun be back?
