Kniiiiiiiives

[force_a_change]

I don't know, Miss Mun. I highly doubt someone will get me a new knife just because I stole theirs.

That and I do quite like the ones I took, such high quality shouldn't be wasted after all.

[...O-Okay, recognizing her. You know what, she's even more terrifying than Yuki Nagato.]

Y-You shouldn't steal. [That isn't the only thing you shouldn't do...]

[force_a_change]

I was borrowing, Senpai. Anyway, I'll be returning them to their proper owner.

[asahinasmall]

I'm sure it'll be a relief to them...

[force_a_change]

I guess so. They still didn't seem to happy though.

[asahinasmall]

Maybe they had needed them for something in particular.

[force_a_change]

They were a chef's knife set, Senpai.

[asahinasmall]

It would be vexing to me to find my own missing, especially if I needed them while in the middle of cooking.

[force_a_change]

I imagine so, thankfully I didn't take them while they were being used.

[didhishomework]

Would it be too much to ask of the universe for someone to keep knives away from you?

[force_a_change]

Why yes, it would be, Kyon!

Why if I hadn't had those knives on my person? A nice young fellow I met would have been hurt in a fight that happened recently.

[didhishomework]

Okay, freeze. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you actually helped someone out for once?

[force_a_change]

Hm, yes I am. Then again it would've been bothersome if he got killed while I was around. Someone would probably blame me for it.

It also helps that it seems that I'm the only one from my world in Vatheon~.

[didhishomework]

So you can run as wild as you please? Well, as long as you're not near me, it doesn't matter to me.

Really, would it even matter to you if anyone did blame you for it? If a murderer saved my life, I'd think there was some ulterior motive at work. [How little you know, Kyon.]

[force_a_change]

Oh no one thinks of me like that here, they're all much better people than you.

[She's from before that time though, Kyon!] And it'd be hard to do anything if everyone was avoiding me over something so pointless as a little dying.

[didhishomework]

Those people didn't have you trying to end them. That's the problem with that statement.

That's a little more than pointless!

[force_a_change]

I have no reason to do so to you, either. At least now I don't.

Oh yes, it's completely pointless.

[didhishomework]

But you did once, which is the one thing that's hard to get over. Maybe it's hard for an alien to understand how traumatic it is to have your life threatened by something that has infinitely times more power than you do.

A person's life isn't pointless!

[force_a_change]

And I wasn't all that successful in doing so, and I am sure you have been threatened by things much more scarier than I by now, Kyon.

[Bah, dismissive hand wave]

It is there, in Vatheon, you can be healed from the most horrible things. Which I wish to observe happen myself.

But not on myself. [CAUSE PAIN IS DUMB, and she's felt and she doesn't like it ok ok?]

[didhishomework]

Guess again. It might come as a complete shock as you, but I actually feel safer, considering I don't have to worry about you popping up anymore.

[wow. what.] You being able to do something doesn't mean that you should! That's incredibly selfish, especially since you don't want it done to you.

[force_a_change]

I could always come back, if the Entity decides to let me.

[hey, she's not into self harm man.] Oh, it's not that selfish. I have felt it first hand myself, you do recall the fight I mentioned earlier yes?

The thing that attacked managed to crack a few of my ribs, it was quite painful. [And since she can't data fix everything she's gotta heal like you PLAIN OLD NORMAL FOLKS, it stinks.]

[didhishomework]

No, trust me. You're not needed. Haruhi left. Nagato's somewhere on a different ship. I'm living a good life right now, and I don't need you anywhere around to put me back on pins and needles.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. [NOT SYMPATHETIC AT ALL]

[force_a_change]

I meant to our world, not to your silly ship in space, Kyon. Although it's nice to hear you giving up.

Too bad you weren't there then. [flat.]

[didhishomework]

Giving what up?

[force_a_change]

Everything.

[didhishomework]

...I'm not giving anything up.

[force_a_change]

It sure doesn't sound like that to me, Kyon. Miss Suzumiya is gone, and you don't seem to care, Nagato isn't with you and you seem to be happy about that... Why I bet you don't even miss Asahina-senpai either!

[didhishomework]

Of course I do!

[There's a pause.] A day doesn't go by that I don't think about Haruhi or Nagato or anyone from home. But just thinking about them isn't going to make them appear. I've come to terms with that.

[force_a_change]

Well yes, thinking about them won't bring them to you. But not caring and giving up is different from that.

And it appears that you've done that part in spades.

[didhishomework]

What exactly constitutes caring? Me hijacking a spaceship to go out into the vast nothing of space to look for them? Or, having faith in them doing what they feel they should do?

[force_a_change]

Hm...

No, that would be stupid. Although knowing you... Actually no, you'd rather just go "I don't care, I shouldn't do anything ever." since you just have to let everyone else do it for you.

[didhishomework]

That's where you're wrong. If there was something I could possibly do to bring them to the ship and have the SOS Brigade together for a while, I would do it. For now, the best I can do is work and save up money. That's the best a human like me is capable of.

[force_a_change]

I'm surprised you're capable of doing work at all, Kyon.

[didhishomework]

I'm not lazy. If there's a purpose to it, I'll do it.

[force_a_change]

You could have fooled me.
