on random numbers, mostly.

S-... stop laughing! It's not funny, and I doubt anybody else thinks it's funny, either. I mean, it's only natural that he'd get like that, after all! He's a teenage boy!

You really are such a moron.

( ooc: might have spoilers on the random numbers translation! )

I clearly don't!

[extraordinarily]

So you're saying you don't remember January 3rd?

[monologues]

Refresh my memory.

[extraordinarily]

You had to carry me on your back because my sandal's strap broke.

[monologues]

[ 'Mun, it's okay to not know things sometimes. I don't think you had to sit down and speed-read that story just for the sake of this conversation. Speaking of which, didn't you just skip ahead to the scene in question and read it from there?' ]

Ah. That...



It's probably not what it sounded like, so just ignore it.

[extraordinarily]

Then what is it?

[ Because now she's slightly suspicious. But only slightly. ]

[monologues]

An error in translation, I'm sure.

[ denial denial denial denial ]

[extraordinarily]

Oh, so you're saying they translated your perverted thoughts wrong?

[monologues]

Are you admitting to having buried your face in my back?

[extraordinarily]

I did no such thing!

[monologues]

Exactly. So it must be a mistake in translation, right?

[ 'Come on, Haruhi, cooperate! Mutual denial is the best way to avoid this embarrassment!' ]

1/2

[extraordinarily]

...

[extraordinarily]

It's only a mistake in translation on my part, not yours!

[monologues]

[ oh for fuck's sake ]

How do you justify that judgment, exactly?

[extraordinarily]

It's not impossible, right? I mean, they might have caught something later rather than earlier in the story!

[monologues]

Or vice versa.

[extraordinarily]

Do you want to play a game to see who's right?

[monologues]

Not if you don't explain the rules first.

[ 'I'd just as soon shove my face in a bear trap.' ]

[extraordinarily]

It's just poker.

[monologues]

... Not that I'm against it, but how would that prove either of us right?

[extraordinarily]

We could always ask a third party's opinion if you want to do it the boring way.

[monologues]

[ 'That would only bring us back to square one, with both of our integrity being compromised! Unless you use Koizumi, because that bastard will just side with you unquestioningly.' ]

That third party being...?

[extraordinarily]

We'll just ask the next person who shows up!

[monologues]

[ 'So it's random luck either way? If that's the case I might as well go for the choice that doesn't involve telling someone about all of this nonsense.' ]

Forget it. Poker sounds fine.

[extraordinarily]

Well, at least you didn't have to explain this to Asakura-san!
