[ getting to the party wasn’t the problem. the problem’s being pushed around every so often, being told what to do and who to stand next to, and she’s about ready to start kicking some shins.

when she’s seated, haruhi almost immediately takes note of all of the questions and mentally checks off which ones she finds boring one by one by one. which is, basically all of the romantic questions and some of the less romantic questions. ultimately, she just forgoes the list and comes up with her own questions. ]

-If you were replaced by a body double, how would you try to convince everyone that you’re the real thing?

[ you know. normal. ]

-What’s the name of your desperation attack? Oh, if you don’t have one, what would it be if you did?

[ very normal. ]

-Alright, alright. How about this? When you close your eyes and think of someone or something, what’s the first thing you think of?

[ congrats! be it her long brown hair, her yellow ribbon, or the fact that she had just passed by, haruhi’s been gifted a box! it’s all a lot from the jump, but she’s willing to open it up and see what she’s won.

it’s… strange. it’s a pin in the shape of a tanzaku, the kind that'd be hung up for Tanabata. she pins it to the collar of her shirt, trying to get a good glimpse of it. ]

Hmm. It should be something closer to Valentine's Day or Setsubun... I guess this is good too.

[ congrats! you've been paired with haruhi to explore the tunnel! holding hands is just a part of it, so she's not at all fazed by the idea of keeping a hold on someone and dragging them through.

which is a problem when she stops to glimpse anywhere that seems suspicious, like something that could be hiding in a secluded area. she might knock on the wall or the ground with her free hand, murmuring in thought. ]

That's weird. Usually there's some kinda indication of where it is. Do you see any arrows or an "x" anywhere?

[ i am extremely flexible and this is fun as hell. feel free to add anything or ask her a question of your own for speed dating! if you have questions of your own for me, send me a message here or on discord! ]
