☆15 voice/action

AIGHT, so it sounds like a lotta you guys got feelin's or somethin' to work out 'cause of what happened. Not 'cause of the stupid Culturists comin' in, but you know, the other thing.

WELL, IT AIN'T GETTIN' WORKED OUT BY ITSELF.

An' since I ain't so good at talkin' and I know some people here ain't so good at it neither 'cause you got emotion Legos or somethin', I've got some pads up on the trees and I'm gonna go punch stuff. If you ain't good at talkin' neither, but you wanna blow off some steam? The name's Beat. Come punch trees wit' me behind House 10. It's good for you, yo.

Action
[And if he's not found behind House 10 punching trees with boxing pads duct-taped to them, he's inside helping around the house for once. Mainly, he's trying to clean; trying being the operative word. He does pretty well at sweeping up and vacuuming, but dusting is not his forte. It takes too much concentration and finesse and he spends most of his time catching all the things he knocked off the shelves.

Later, in the evening, he's on the porch of House 10 or out in the plaza and practicing his reading with a flashlight. It's slow going since Shiki left, but he figures she'll come back one day and then he's got to show that he improved or she'll probably slug him in the face.]

Or just make sure that you don't zone out too much.

But it's so boring...........

[And repetitive. He sighs.]

I jus' walked away for a bit, but then it was on fire.

... how long was 'a bit'?

[Something tells him he doesn't really want to know the answer to that.]

Uh... I dunno? I don't gotta watch so...

[He thinks for a minute.]

I went out to practice a couple boardin' moves? Is that long?

Long? That's probably at least fifteen minutes. Most things are going to burn if you leave them cooking that long without at least checking on them or stirring them, especially if you're cooking them on a higher heat.

What's high heat? Ain't all heat the same? I mean, it's fire. It can't really get tall or short or nothin.

... you mean you didn't notice that the knobs on the stove have different settings?

..I just thought it was on n' off?

... right. Um, anyway, you can pick from three different heats, so you need to check the recipe you're using and see which one it tells you to use. You don't want to cook something on a hotter temperature than it's supposed to be.

...Bro, recipes mean I gotta read and I ain't gonna do that. If it ain't curry or ramen or curry ramen, then it's way too hard.

Wait, you can't read...?

[That... would make cooking difficult, yes.]

Y-yeah, I can!

[Sort of.]

It's jus' hard an' takes too long.

That could make cooking kind of hard. I mean, usually you need to be able to read the recipes in order to know what to do. So if it takes you a long time to read, I don't know how you'd be able to follow a recipe.

Eh, s'why I let Ribbons do it. She's good at it and then I don't get yelled at for burnin' the kitchen.

'Ribbons'?

... oh, right, you mean Haruhi. Well, if she's a good cook, then I guess it all works out, just as long as nothing gets set on fire.

Nah, she ain't like me.

...

You know Ribbons pretty well?

Not that well. It's more like I know of her, since she's been around almost as long as I have. Well... she did make me wear a dress that one time...

You should come meet 'er. She's pretty cool. Kinda bossy sometimes, but she ain't bad. She helps take care a' me n' Rhyme now that Shiki an' Phones're gone.

[Wait.]

A dress?!

N-nothing! It's nothing at all! Just forget I said that!

No way, Scarves! Spill it!

If she's putting dudes in dresses, then I gotta know how to stay the hell outta 'em!

It was a long time ago during an experiment! The experiment made it so that everyone had to do what someone else told them to do, so Haruhi - well, she was Haruki back then - made a whole bunch of people sign up for a beauty pageant. That's all.

...Who's Haruki?

... wait, you don't know?

Uh.....no? I ain't been here but for two years or something? I dunno. I forget to count.

Oh...

... um, I'm not really sure it's my place to be telling you about this. You should probably ask Haruhi yourself if you want to know...
