... because I can't seem to get anything else out for some reason.
There are some things you can only watch, slack jawed ...
... Suzumiya's tactics for blackmailing the computer club into giving one of the machines over to our little bunch of oddballs being one of those things.
Why 'oddballs'? I didn't really pay that much attention to it, but there was something that just felt off about every single member of the SOS other than Kyon and mysel ... ahem. Well, no. Other than Kyon.
Asahina Mikuru, 2nd year, was short, cute, and well endowed ... all qualities that Haruhi had deemed neccessary and in-genre when she proceeded with the girl's 'indoctrination' into the steadily swelling ranks of the SOS Brigade.
Coincidentially, the acronym is oddly appropriate when used in relation to just about anyone who hangs around Haruhi for any amount of time. By the end of the day you're either running with the insanity or begging somebody, anybody, to save your soul.
I guss it just depends on the sort of person you are.
Asahina was definitely somebody who belonged to the second category, though. Even before getting groped in the line of 'duty' so that our esteemed chairwoman/president/master and commander/whatever-the-hell-she-was could get some blackmail material.
I just don't know about that girl. She seriously needs to get some self confidence ... and for some reason, cuteness aside, I find her ... annoying.
Anyway, the abovementioned situation ...
You know, normally I'd go 'what the hell are you _thinking_?!' at somebody trying this sort of thing, because of some small bit of moral fortitude still left in my shriveled little black heart if nothing else ...
... eh. If the guy, by which I mean the president of the school's computer club, just folded up like that in response to the ... I mean, come on, the word of him and his club against that of _Suzumiya Haruhi_, she of the by now infamous bunnygirl incident and notorious for a score of minor though equally unique events? And he showed an amount of resistance about equal to that of a wet paper towel in defense of his clubs interests.
Now, in my opinion, he had that coming.
Meaning that I wasn't exactly upset. Rather, laughing my ass off out in the hallway.
Anyway, other than the only other guy in the SOS Brigade - Kyon, who was currently trying to console Asahina in the aftermath of the groping - we had just one more member. The reason for my "We are the SOS Dan. Resistance is futile. You shall be assimilated." quip after we'd pinned down the club's name - or rather, after Haruhi had out and announced it. Nobody had any objections.
See, you could say that Nagato Yuki sort of came with the club room - she was the only member of the literature club still attending the school, and ... well, Haruhi has this way of steamrolling over people. And events. Closest thing to 'human act of God' since Vash the Stampede.
Yuki is ... unassuming. Quiet. I'd say mousey, but there's something about her that doesn't quite allow me to make that estimate.
For instance, the first thing she's ever said to me, and up till then the only thing really, was - "You do not belong." - in that tone of voice I can only call Ayanami.
Kind of makes me think she knows more than she's letting on ... of course, that isn't so hard, since she doesn't let _anything_ on.
Good taste in reading material, though. We trade sci-fi novels every two or so days, which makes her my arguably favorite person attending meetings.
Of course, that isn't saying much, since we've yet to have an actual club meeting, as every single one that Suzumiya attends invariably turns into her telling us what to do - the occasional arguments coming from Kyon and myself - and then dragging us off despite any objections ...
... ah well, it's not like I'm not having fun with this.
