Dark Hour Log

[velvetyhelpers.livejournal.com]

[The clock has struck midnight and something in the air has changed. Time’s stopped, people have transformed into coffins, the coloring of the world seems all wrong. And worse, you might notice something moving in the corner of your eye. Something dark, shadow-like, and definitely foreboding.]

A hardware store's more likely, since I don't think people would build a prison inside the city.

[He glance at the buildings as they go. Grocery, some kind of specialty store, carpentry...]

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi stops dead in her tracks at the carpentry store.]

This looks promising.

[She walks over to the door and pulls. Of course someone remembered to lock it before coffin time.]

Which would be easier: breaking down the door or breaking the window?

[babel_hacker]

Probably breaking down the door, plus we don't have to worry about glass shards when we get inside.

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Excellent thinking new recruit!

[She takes several steps back before running towards the door. She jumps at the last second, her foot hitting right above the doorknob. With a crack, the door opens.]

I saw that in a movie once. It's how CIA agents open doors!

[babel_hacker]

New recruit? The name's Atsuro!

[He watch her break the door opens, surprised at her strength.]

That's because they're trained to get in and do their missions!

[Atsuro starts to walk inside.]

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Alright, Atsuro the new recruit then!

[She follows him in, immediately heading towards the back of the store where nails and the like are kept.]

I know, right? You can learn so much from tv!

[babel_hacker]

Well, not everything on TV can be done, but the others you can still do!

[He looks around for a crowbar, seeing all the nails and other dangerous things on the shelves.]

Hey, you got my name, so what's yours?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Ah, here we go...

[There's a crowbar in the back corner. Looks a bit used, like it's been sitting there for awhile. Haruhi rips off the price tag before hefting it over her shoulder.]

The name's Haruhi Suzumiya, leader of the SOS Brigade!

[babel_hacker]

Nice to meet you, Haruhi!

[Atsuro hopes they won't get into trouble for this, but he's still caught up in the excitement of adventure and mystery.]

What's the SOS Brigade?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

You mean you haven't been to the website?????

I knew Kyon was fudging the numbers...

[She takes a breathe and starts into PR-mode.]

The SOS Brigade exists in order to find aliens, espers, time travelers, and other-worldly creatures, and have fun with them! Normal people are just so boring, you know? I don't see any of my members here though, so I guess I'll just have to make a new brigade here!

[babel_hacker]

No, I haven't, apparently!

[He shouldn't be surprised to hear there's a website for it. He saw plenty of websites for other, weirder things before.]

You believe all of those things exist?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Of course! There's gotta be something out there.

[She heads towards the door.]

And since there's no other brigade members here, looks like you're the newest member, Atsuro!

[babel_hacker]

It'll be crazy if there is something out there.

[He follows her out, but stops at what she just said.]

...Wait, you didn't ask if I want to be a part of it, Haruhi!

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Details, details.

[She waves a hand in dismissal and heads towards a coffin.]

Alright, let's pry from the left side. Give me a hand, will ya?

[babel_hacker]

You usually have to ask people if they want to join.

[Regardless, he still walks over to that coffin. He's rather curious about it.]

Maybe should wrap this up soon?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Why bother to ask when you know the answer is going to be yes?

[She starts pulling on the crowbar, but it doesn't seem to be working very well.]

Oh come on!!!!!

Yeah, we should

[babel_hacker]

But what if they actually don't want to?

[He grab the crowbar and pull on it as well. Unfortunately, even with his help, the coffin stay shut.]

Grr! It won't open!

Re: Yeah, we should

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Hasn't happened yet!

[She pulls with all her might, to no avail. Haruhi throws down the crowbar in disgust.]

Stupid piece of junk. We might need power tools. Though that shop didn't have any. Ugh, such a pain.

Re: Yeah, we should

[babel_hacker]

Are you going to look for them?

[Atsuro blinks and glance around. Did he just saw something in the shadows?]

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Might as well since there's nothing else we can do with this. What time is it anyway? I've lost track.

[Haruhi notices Atsuro glancing around.]

What is it?

[babel_hacker]

I don't know what time it is and I haven't found a clock yet.

[He looks back at her.]

I think we should find someplace safe. I thought I saw something.

Long thread is long. I declare end.

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sounds like a plan. We can bring better tools later.

[She points down the street.]

I saw a hotel down that way. Let's continue another night new recruit!

Thread end get!

[babel_hacker]

Sure and it's Atsuro, Haruhi!
