004// willful suspension of disbelief

[Haruhi had just been getting used to the city and thinking it was not so bad. At least, until people started exploding. Now she's looking a little shell-shocked and staring around the second level.]

Umm... is this a usual occurrence here? And, if so... does anyone know what's causing it? It doesn't seem very... safe. I can't believe a person

Uh-huh! Crazy stuff happens all the time!

[special_student]

...How can you be so cheerful about all of this? Crazy stuff like people blowing up? Or, just generally crazy?

[glacial_dance]

Oh, well... I've never seen that before. I'm kinda glad.

[special_student]

At least it isn't a regular occurrence. [sighs] It's... kind of sickening.

There's a lot of weird puppets. I think they're doing it.

This hasn't happened before. I think. I dunno.

[special_student]

Weird puppets? Can we stop them? I think I'd like it if this all stopped.

[cloudsofwhite]

Would they stop if we cut off their strings?

[special_student]

They might! But, I think it sounds really unsafe to be near them, if they're blowing people up. You might want to leave it to someone who won't get hurt.

Who cares if it's not safe. It's interesting.

[special_student]

...Interesting? Are you kidding? Because, that's not a very good joke. I don't think people blowing up is the right kind of interesting.

[thefirstphase]

But it's still a kind of interesting.

[special_student]

If you're feeling morbid.
