It's now Friday afternoon, and this machinima video idea, which was a group effort from Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato, was thought up yesterday. And today was the day the SOS Brigade had a meeting.
“Nice to see you all showed up.”
If I didn't show up, you would complain about it next time we would see each other, so really, I don't have much choice.
“Now, last night, I did some research...”
If our teacher Okabe could hear this right now, I'm sure he'd ask why she doesn't do that for our class homework.
“...and I now know exactly what machinima is and how it works!”
I'm sure that Yuki had beaten her to it. That magical alien humanoid interface.
“From the definition that I found out on YouTube, its a type of film that you can make using a video game.”
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Koizumi noticed something different about me in an instant.
“I have a feeling you haven't smiled like that in a long time” Koizumi also smiled. Its as though smiling is contagious.
“If we're filming inside a video game rather than the dangerous real world, that's fine by me. I don't see any bad things about this and I'm sure that nothing crazy will happen this time.”
Koizumi pulled out a laugh, I'm guessing he's seeing the invisible trust that he had babbled about before, and looked at me in a way that says that might not be the case. Maybe I'm able to tell what people are thinking because I know them a little too well.
“Just remember that this is Haruhi were talking about here.” A conversation with Koizumi is quite often revolved around Haruhi. “Expect the unexpected.”
I could go on a rant about how stupid that last sentence was, but as usual, I do see his point.
“Say, Haruhi, if we do make this machinima, along with the video game itself, what else are we going to need?”
“Well, from my research DigitalPh33r-”
“Who?” I interrupted. Something I don't like doing with Haruhi.
“He makes Arby n the Chief and Hard Justice. There's a bunch of film production groups that make machinima, like Rooster Teeth who makes Red vs Blue, Darkspire Films who make Matchmaking and RunningGunStudios who makes Spriggs. And all of these brilliant series use the same game, Halo 3 from the XBOX 360!”
I wasn't sure weather to be shocked about this or not. I'll keep quiet to keep her happy. I wonder how our lovely brigade mascot, Ms.Asahina thinks of this.
“I quite like the idea of this film idea. It's just nice that I don't have to get into more costumes.”
Well, she has a point. This time there wont be as much hassle as last time. But I'm sure Haruhi will find a way.
“So do you know where to get this XBOX 360?”
“Yuki said she already has one, along with Halo 3.”
If you asked me about Yuki Nagato when I first saw her, I'd say she loved reading books. But ever since the brigade had acclaimed a few laptops during a batlle in a game against the computer club, she's now a major gamer. Maybe she should get in some gamer league.
“Yuki, are you ok with this?”
“Yes.”
“Well, if you say so.”
“Kyon, what are you saying? That I can't look after our member's things?” As you can already guess, Haruhi snapped at me.
“No, I was just making sure she was OK with this, and that she wouldn't make a last minute change.”
“Kyon it was her idea, so she must be ok with it.”
I was surprised she didn't take credit for this idea.
“We start next week at the time we're usually here in the clubroom.”
Take this down.
For the next however long this may last, the strangest things may happen. Over Haruhi arguing with me and everyone else putting up with this, one thing may be possible.
I might enjoy myself.
If this does happen, please stop me. Signed, Kyon.
