[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

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 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.

"Wait, monsters?" Haruhi paused. She had only seen coffins, not monsters...

"What were they like? Fight them? How did you fight them?????"

"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've met several guys with dark hair, but none named Lancer," Haruhi said with a sigh. Figures she hadn't run into the monster-fighting ones yet.

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

"Yeah, I suppose so..."

"So are you the only one here from your world? Or are there other body-builders walking around here?"

"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?"

Iterators? Astartes? Haruhi made a mental note to ask about those later.

"Nope. I'm gonna throttle them when I get a hold of 'em. I'm not surprised at Kyon or Mikuru not showing up, but Itsuki and Yuki? I'm thoroughly disappointed in them." She already had a number of punishments ready in the back of her mind. Most of them were for Kyon, but still...

"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."
