one ✿ video.
[ When the feed turns on, there is one redhead who seems slightly freaked out. A small squeak escapes her lips before she manages to speak, slightly shaken up. ]
Eeeeek! I, um, where...
[ Her voice is soft, and her eyes are wide in fear. She doesn't know what's going on, and the explanation went right over her head. But soon enough, she sees the small little light. ]
O- oh!
Did someone leave their phone on? Um, um...!
[ She sounds nervous, and quite uncertain. Though she's trying her best to sound a little enthusiastic. ]
Hello, is this anybody's phone? If you lost it, I can give it back to you...
[ Little does she know that this phone is a lot different than the ones that she's used before, and she continues to stare at it with wide eyes before the feed turns off. Someone sure sounds bewildered. ]

[ action ]
Ah... that's right. We're only one away from having the whole Brigade back together, now...
[ action ]
One away? Um, who else is missing...
[ action ]
[He sounds wistful, and, at the moment, unaware of the implications in what he just said.]
[ action ]
[ Mikuru's voice is slightly soft when she hears him say that, but soon enough, the gears in her head start to whirl, making her realize something. ]
Um, Kyon-kun? Did you say... a year?
[ action ]
You might be able to make more sense of it than me, but I got here a year ago. Haruhi & Koizumi have been here since last summer. It's late February, now... but as far as Haruhi's concerned, I'd only been out of sight two hours when she came here. I'm guessing that something like that is true for you, as well.
[It's a relief to unburden this to someone other than Koizumi. He hasn't been able to bring himself to fully explain Haruhi to anyone here, people who keep misunderstanding her anyway, and Koizumi's complacent smile and disturbing theories are something he's more than had enough of when it comes to this.]
[ action ]
I... think I get it.
[ Well, the gist of it, anyway. Of course, the fact that it's February is a little unnerving, so she just has to ask the most obvious time travel question: ]
Um, Kyon-kun? What year is it?
[ Because late February doesn't cut it for her. ]
[ action ]
[Close enough to where they came from, but of course not everything matches up exactly. Even before factoring in the strangeness of the island.]
[ action ]
[ Mikuru nods several times, comprehending the situation. ]
Thank you, Kyon-kun.
[ action ]
[He nods in return, smiling maybe a little stupidly. Thank you, Kyon in that voice... that's one of his favorite things to hear.
Pull yourself together, Kyon.
After a moment he sighs gustily, presses his lips together, and looks back up.]
If you've already been given a room assignment, I can take you to the apartments. Or, if you'd rather get something to eat, there are a few restaurants along the way... whatever you need to build your strength.
I'm sure Haruhi will be glad to see you, but I don't need to tell you that there's no predicting her reaction, except to say with certainty that it will be forceful, whatever it is.
[ action ]
We can't... if Suzumiya-san saw us together...
[ And she takes another step back for good measure. ]
[ action ]
You know, I've had two dates since Valentine's Day, and the world didn't end then. I don't think two friends catching up is going to be as bad as all that...
[His tone is speculative, gentle, but he can't keep a little of the grumble out of it. No-one else seems to mind Haruhi's whims so totally shaping their lives. Maybe that's because, in a sense, that's their job. Kyon is more of a conscript, and in any case he has higher standards of job satisfaction.
That being said, it's true that he doesn't actually want to make Haruhi angry. There's been enough trouble lately, both on the island in general and for Koizumi in particular.]
...ah, but it's probably not worth the risk. Has Haruhi called or texted yet? If not, I'll just show you to the apartments. If she has...
[He trails off and shrugs. If she has, they'll both do whatever she tells them to. It's strange how a moment ago he was bothered by that, and now he seems resigned to it, but it's not something he's consciously thinking about at the moment.]
[ action ]
[ Mikuru stares at him awkwardly, her eyes wide in confusion. She doesn't know what to think or what to say, honestly. But she knows that she shouldn't have a relationship with anyone that isn't from her time. Unless that was all a lie... ]
Um, Suzumiya-san sent me a message earlier.
[ action ]
Ah, I suppose it's time for us to report for duty, then?
[He sounded resigned to the notion, but not resentful. This was just the way life around Haruhi worked, after all.]
[ action ]
Don't worry, Kyon-kun! I'm sure... I'm sure that Suzumiya-san will plan something good!
[ ... Except that's probably not going to happen, now is it? ]
[ action ]
Ah, I'm sure you're right! ... We'd better be sure to avoid any penalties for being late, then.
[ action ]
Mm. I'm sure Suzumiya-san won't penalize us if we get there early!
