Time for Tanabata!

WHO: Haruhi and whoever else is around!
WHEN: July 7th, early evening.
WHERE: Roof of the Bayview Hotel
SUMMARY: It's Tanabata~ will Hikoboshi and Orihime meet tonight?
RATING: PG.
WARNINGS: None.

Even though she was now in America, Haruhi wasn't going to let one of her favorite holidays go by without notice!  The high schooler had gathered all the necessary items for her own tanabata celebration on the roof of the hotel.  Earlier in the day she had hunted down bamboo potted plants (or what appeared to be bamboo; if it wasn't perfect that was fine), and gathered colored pieces of paper and string. The weather had managed to cooperate with the holiday as well; the skies were clear, and though they were a bit dimmer due to the city lights, the stars could be clearly seen.

"So I figured out last year that it would take 25 years for my wish to get to one star and 16 years to the other," Haruhi mumbled to herself. "But if they're coming from America would it be different?  Maybe a little faster since Americans are so speedy and impatient."  She flopped down on the ground and pulled a magic marker's cap off with her mouth. 

"Wish time!" Ignoring everything around her, Haruhi began scribbling her wishes on two different pieces of paper.

"I... see."

Garviel blinks at her, completely nonplussed for the moment.

"I am glad I was what you were looking for?" He says, rather gingerly, wondering if this the right thing to say.

"But why does the world need to be overloaded with fun to save it?"

"Ah, I see. And how did you end up in Prospero, if I may ask?"

Garviel definitely didn't understand, but the girl was interesting, at least. He has a feeling this is probably one of those people saber suggested needed protection, after all.

"That is... actually a pretty good idea, honestly. How may I be of assistance to you, young lady?"

If nothing else, the Astartes is always willing to help humans who are in trouble, even if they don't necessarily see it that way themselves.

"I will be happy to. Is there a way I can contact you easily?"

Garviel hesitates, and says, "But what would you define as strange? This whole world is strange to me."

"I shall be on the lookout, of course. But I thought we were to exterminate the monsters that come at midnight, anyway. That is my intent, certainly."

Garviel looks at his cell phone and says, "Ah, you mean the cogitator and vox-caster device that we were provided with? I was wondering what it was called, I thought it might have been named a Nokia."

After all, there are no brand names in the grim dark future where there is only war.

"I haven't fought the monsters here, but a fellow named Lancer has, and he told me about them when I arrived. Have you spoken to him? Dark hair?"

He seems a bit surprised, he thought those drawn here would be fairly cohesive but this does not appear to be the case.

"I'm sure you'll see him around sooner rather than later." Garviel says, attempting to comfort her, detecting disappointment from her sigh.

"Regrettably, I am the only man of the Imperium that I have seen thus far. We could do with a few Iterators or Astartes to sort things out, one way or another." He looks down at Haruhi.

"And are any of your comrades here?"

"Those are your friends from home, then?" Garviel smiles a bit, his teeth showing brilliantly in the darkness against the stars.

"Perhaps you should consider this a learning experience, and adventure of sort that you can be sure to tell them about once you get home."
