Clouds, Time Travel, and Thou/Transcript: Difference between revisions

}}NARRATOR: "The hands on the clock finally set me free from the tedium of yet another fun-filled class. Getting up from my seat proves to be more of a problem than I anticipated. My legs are killing me from the morning's run. Maybe doing these with Emi isn't such a hot idea after all. Still, the run's given me a hell of an appetite. I'm halfway down the hallway to the cafeteria when I remember that I've got my lunch with me. My parents saw fit to provide me with some prepackaged stuff when I moved in, and a good thing too. The hallway is packed with students headed for the cafeteria. Going back is like swimming upstream - but I've got an appointment to keep on the rooftop."

NARRATOR: "Part of me wants to be surprised that Rin's already up here."

HISAO: "Couldn't you just... look at them right-side up?"

NARRATOR: "She beams at me as if I'd just agreed to give her a million dollars."

NARRATOR: "I feel like I've just been conned, but not by these two. More like by some outside force, pushing me irrevocably toward my destiny. ...Or maybe I shouldn't read books that feature conspiracy theories so heavily. Otherwise I might wind up sounding like Kenji. Still, I suppose that I've got to show up now. I don't think that I could stand against both of them being disappointed. I'd never hear the end of it."

HISAO: "No you didn't."

EMI: "I forgot? Well, you won't forget to come though, will you?"

EMI: "I don't think we do... do we?"

NARRATOR: "For Rin, this statement makes a disturbing amount of sense. The fact that I realize this now frightens me a bit. I wonder if Emi gets this feeling all the time. If she does she's not showing it, though. Emi merely nods."

NARRATOR: "Emi's smile seems to border on gloating."

EMI: "Nah, it's just that your unpredictability is pretty predictable."

RIN: "Well that's all right then."

NARRATOR: "I don't get the chance to see whether Rin's being serious or not, as the bell rings. I didn't notice the lunch period slipping by at all. Hanging out with these two was far too interesting. Emi jumps up, a look of panic on her face."

RIN: "Don't you wish you had a time machine now?"

NARRATOR: "Emi darts away with an urgency I'm starting to expect from her. I don't bother asking Rin why she couldn't help. She already seems to be preoccupied with something else entirely as she wanders off. She's probably used to Emi taking care of cleanup, and for some reason I doubt Emi's ever raised the issue with her. Cleaning up from lunch doesn't take long, so I have plenty of time to toss our garbage and get to class. Misha greets me with a wave and a devious grin as I walk through the door."

MISHA: "Oh really? Are you sure you weren't participating in an illicit ren—dez—vous?"

HISAO: "W... what? What are you talking about?"

NARRATOR: "Misha seems disappointed and then brightens up again."

NARRATOR: "I don't know what the hell she's talking about, but blessedly our teacher comes in, and the class starts."
