Okay, so who here doesn't have super powers, out-of-this-world abilities, magic, ESP or stuff of that sort?

And can somebody please tell me why I was even brought here? I know, I know, humanity facing extinction, war against aliens... but I'm useless just an ordinary high school student! I'm not cut out for this!

I feel horribly left out.

[opens her mouth to say someone's name, but....]

....I don't think there is, Kyon-chan.

But.....I'm sure there's a reason you are here! Maybe to protect Haruhi-chan?

[thisordinaryboy]

She doesn't need protecting.

[iamusagi]

I'm guessing, then, that she also has some kind of power as well.

You don't have to tell me what it is, though - I'm sure I'll see it for myself, sooner or later. :)

[Screened to Usagi]

[thisordinaryboy]

More than you know, Usagi-san.

She isn't aware of it, though.

[turquoisebat]

I don't! I'm pretty ordinary... So I've been wondering the same thing as you.

[thisordinaryboy]

Oh. I really thought I was the only one.

Have you been here long? How has it been for you?

[turquoisebat]

Nope, you definitely aren't. I'm a normal as they come. Just a regular human girl.

I lost track of how long I've been here... but it hasn't been bad. You get use to this place... Why, are people bothering you about being normal?

[thisordinaryboy]

Not really. I just feel... useless.

[numberedstars]

I can't say as I have any supernatural powers. I wouldn't want them if I had them. I confess to having a few skills, but nothing that nobody else couldn't accomplish with some intelligence and hard work.

[thisordinaryboy]

I see. I'm relieved, I think.

Why wouldn't you want supernatural powers, though?

[numberedstars]

Mostly because everyone I've ever known who had them ended up dead or turning into a genocidal maniac. It just doesn't seem worth the effort. Besides, I'm really a scientist at heart. The natural order of things suits me just fine.

[thisordinaryboy]

I'm sorry to hear that. That's a little scary.

Wow, you're a scientist? What do you study about? I'm quite fascinated with the universe and how it works, and up until middle school I had wanted to find a scientific explanation to the existence of UFOs and aliens. I can't say I'm as enthusiastic now... with the aliens, I mean.

[blizzardprince]

Hey, I wondered the same thing. I mean, I hate violence, I'm not all that smart, I don't have any medical training, so what good am I in a war? About all I can do is surf and play cards and make music.

[thisordinaryboy]

I think we're on the same boat. Except the make music part. I can't sing or play an instrument for the life of me.

I'm Kyon. You are?

[blizzardprince]

Oh? Can you surf and play cards, then?

I'm Fubuki. Nice to meet you!

[thisordinaryboy]

I'm not good at them, but yeah.

Nice to meet you, too, Fubuki. We ordinary guys should stick together and watch out for each other, really.

[omgcosplayfreak]

I'm not either. I'm in my third year of school. I only have three or four friends. My father is weird. I spend my time reading mangas, watching animes, or playing games instead of studying. No superpowers, no alteregoes, just the normal spastic schoolgirl.

We can feel left out together.

[thisordinaryboy]

You, left out? But you seem to get along so well with everyone else, Konata-san.

[omgcosplayfreak]

You can stand in a crowd and still be alone, Kyon-kun.

[thisordinaryboy]

Yeah. I know the feeling.
