Where am I..? -- ...OW!

[Well. This sucks.

And is quite painful too. I mean really, being strung to a tree by your underwear must be incredibly painful. Atsuro's just in luck, since that's exactly the predicament he's in right now! So you may find this loser rolling around in a trash can flailing around in a tree -- I mean.. this poor, confused new feather somewhere around the village, hanging from a tree and flailing around a bit while trying to get down.]

H-hey, can someone help me down...?! [WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON HERE.]

[Voice]
[Aaaand once that awful incident is through with, Atsuro will go ahead and tinker with his new fancy journal thing and throw up an entry! Just a tad too embarrassed to do it over video so.. Here, have some guy-who-is-literally-butthurt's voice.]

So uh.. has anyone else here arrived in really weird ways? [because really that was just awful.]

Comments

[godbent]

For the SOS-Brigade obviously!

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

SOS Brigade? Hey, that sounds pretty cool! What do you do in it? [The SOS isn't implying that they're in danger right..]

[Voice]

[godbent]

...What don't we do?! Help people out, make things exciting! You name it, we do it!

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

It already sounds pretty exciting on its own. "We" though? Are a lot of people a part of it?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Oh yeah, of course. There's like a dozen of us.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Huh. Are you guys accepting new members?

[idek it may give him something to do. Seems like fun, anyway.]

[Voice]

[godbent]

Oh well uh... yeah, we are.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Well I can't say for certain yet, but I'm definitely interested. Are there any qualifications needed or anything like that?

[Voice]

[godbent]

A few! Tell me about your skills, for one.

[ :I ]

[Voice] dhaskfhkas how did I miss this ;__;

[ctrlaltdemons]

Well if it has anything to do with computers, you name it, and I could help with that much! Or any techie stuff in general.

[Dunno how well that works in Luceti buuuut..]

[Voice]

[godbent]

And anything else?

[Not that she... doesn't know all of Atsuro's abilities]

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

I can't really think of anything off the top of my head but... I'd be glad to help with whatever else too. [Feels like a job interview or something.]

[Voice]

[godbent]

[... So he isn't mentioning the COMPs, well, whatever. and then she adds-] You forgot to mention you're uncharacteristically strong for a tech guy.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[nnnnope. He's trying to keep things related to that away, at least for now. Though it seems like Haruhi might already know about it..? First her knowing his name, now this? Whaaat is going on.]

...Huh?! [Reaaally unsure how to ask this. Have they met before or something..?]

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...Oh, right]

Yeah.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

...Yeah?

[Is.. that answering the question he wants to ask or.. YOU KNOW WHAT screw it, maybe he should just ask it already.]

Uh... Have we met before or anything, Haruhi?

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...] I met "a" Atsuro Kihara but if you don't remember then "we" didn't, per se.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[...That's pretty confusing. Unless there's just another person who happens to coincidentally share the same name as him.]

...Huh. I... see. So you mean like another Atsuro Kihara...? [...Siiigh.] Man, this place just gets more and more confusing, doesn't it?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Yeah. You from a slightly different world... or different timeline point. Or something like that.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

How is that even possible? [Jeez Luceti makes no sense.] Man this place is weird...

[A pause.] ...Wait, so if I have a friend here, could it be that case with him? Like, being from a different time point and all.

[Voice]

[godbent]

Very possible. Likely, actually.

[A beat] Look, the alternative answer - and the one everyone who remembers the old Atsuro will give you - is that you've come back with no memory. You decide which is better.

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Without any memory? Huh... I don't even know what to think. Guess I'll just figure it out eventually though.

[It.. probably doesn't even matter much anyway though. Siiigh. Owell. Just... not gonna dwell on this anymore.]

[Voice]

[godbent]

...Pretty much.

So, the SOS-Brigade!

[Voice]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Oh right, yeah! [Almost forgot about that, thanks to this talk about Atsureplicas.] So what do I do?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Well first things first, there's an HQ building you ought to see if you didn't already, right in the center of town.
