OO1; ( VIDEO ) backdated to early noon 146

[ Having a good day today, Asgard? Well, it doesn't really matter if your answer to that is a 'Yes' or a 'No' because if you like the distant sound of couples arguing in the morning...

Okay you're actually out of luck because all that's going on is a debate. Something to do with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and... psychostimulants?

But now we'll have the feed clicking on to reveal this new beautiful girl with long black hair that some people might have already spoken to a little. Newer still is the messy-haired young man reading idly nearby and looking - not unhappy in his corner of the screen, but certainly like he'd be happier in a warm bed somewhere. ]


Oh, Oreki-san! It looks like it's running now!

Not a chan—

Good day, everyone! Since we are both newcomers here, I just thought it might be a good idea to introduce ourselves to everyone! My name is Chitanda Eru, currently a member of House Freya. It's nice to meet everyone!

[ She'll lean forward to turn the feed towards her companion... Only to find his face closer than ever to the book and decidedly not facing the camera. --Which naturally prompts her to give the young man beside her a nudge. ] Come on, Oreki-san, it's your turn!

[ Can't you just leave me alone?

... forget it he's going to be a champion and zero in on the vagueness of those instructions. ]


Oreki Houtarou. Or-e-ki—

Oreki-san.

[ And she chides him much like a mother would her misbehaving son... The misbehaving son, then, volleys back with the most put-upon sigh. ]

Currently a member of House Odin. Please be gentle. [ he commits okay ]

Looks like we'll have to cut that out later, Oreki-san. [ She laughs a little at the end of that. Unfortunately (or maybe not?), it looks like neither of them realize that this is a live recording... ] That being said, we are in your care! If we may be of help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Oi, Chitanda! Don't make decisions like that on your own! What is it you expect to be helping with anyway? We're still high school students. [ Come to think of it: inter-dimensional city aside, isn't the offer itself a little broad!? ]

Oreki-san, everyone's in this together. It's precisely because we're high school students that we should help others if they are in need! Otherwise, who would help us if we ever needed it?

[ Only you would wind up in a situation needing everyone's help. ]

In any case, thank you for your time, everyone. [ It was at this point that she would be reaching forward for the feed source, only to pause and lean back again when she seems to have been reminded of something.]

Oh, if anyone has any mysteries or problems you would like solved, we would like to hear about them! While a little lazy, Oreki-san here is quite brilliant at deduction in his own right. If you have heard or met Sherlock Holmes-san, both Oreki-san and I are both big fans of--

[ Excuse Oreki-san while he throws himself across the table in whatever the sluggish equivalent of a dive jump is and shuts off the bracelet thanks. ]

[ and holmes in turn rarely dispenses advice, so in his cold and abhorrent mind - he thinks he's doing some form of right. that this scenario is something to change, he desperately wants oreki to stray from this path while he can. ]

The path you're headed is a down hill one. I'd suggest taking Chitanda's aspirations and employing them. If you fail to meet them, then it's not a loss but I cannot allow you to tarry forth.

FTR I ended up watching a couple episodes of hyouka because of you two

You set yourself up for lethargy.

sobs its quite wonderful.

Lethargy. Is the root of conservation boredom or lack of motivation?

[ he gets it. oreki sets himself up to be placid. it's something he's slowly analyzed and learned between their conversations. ]

It's enough to be a generous concern for Ms. Chitanda.
