Itsuki KoizumiSometimes I get the feeling that we're all just a bunch of clowns standing on our tiptoes at the edge of a great abyss.
ItsukiThe top brass at the organization is seriously panicked, right now. Nobody knows what will happen to the "real world," now that we've lost our Deity. If Miss Suzimiya is feeling merciful, we might get to keep on living, on this side of the bubble.
ItsukiWell, I don't think we can deny the distinct possibility that the world we are in now was freshly created, by Her, last night! In any case, it's an honor to meet you and Miss Suzumiya again. Be seeing you after class!
[Haruhi, Kyon, and Itsuki's fleets are caught in a clusterfuck, to put things bluntly]
ItsukiLet's calm down. The enemy is shooting at us.
ItsukiYou're the new Adam and Eve. Go on, procreate, increase the population.
I'll punch you for that!
[thinking] Every day, I hang out with an alien, a time traveler, and an esper...and I'm still as sane and objective as ever. Hmm...I wonder if that makes me special or something. I'm sure Lacan's dying to have a word with me!
ItsukiYou seem worried. Is something wrong?
[aloud] Nope. I was just thinking about how awesome I am for being able to cope with this absurd situation. And if you ask me, I think I'm due for a little praise.
ItsukiYou're right. Well, would you like me to give you some words of praise, then?
You praising me won't make me any happier. All it will do is make me think you've got something up your sleeve.
Itsuki[laughs] True enough!
[Yuki drives the Computer Society President into a trap laid by the other SOS Brigadiers]
Wow, he's driving his fleet right into our sights.
ItsukiLike a mouse caught in a trap.
Uh, am I supposed to shoot this thing?
I don't get what just happened, but great job, guys! All ships, open fire! Go out there and burn the enemy leader with all the fires of hell!
[the SOS Brigade's combined fleets gang up on the Computer Society President's own and annihilate it except for the flagship, which attempts to escape]
He's getting away!
[Yuki fires the main gun of her flagship at the Computer Society President's ship and destroys it]
[as his ship is exploding around him] This isn't happening! GLORY TO THE COMPUTER CLUB!
YOU WIN
Oh, Kyon... I can't... I can't go back to the future!
Itsuki KoizumiI'll explain it the best I can. We're currently stuck in a time loop that seems to have no end to it.
Huh? A what?
ItsukiWe're currently stuck in a time loop that seems to have no end to it.
Uh...
ItsukiWe're currently stuck in a time loop that seems to have no end...
[Haruhi is discussing the Christmas party with the other members.]
Does anyone have plans next week for Christmas Eve?
[Thinking] I freaking knew it.
I'm pretty sure you've got nothing going on, right Kyon? We all know you don't have much of a social life and I'm only asking because I didn't want you to feel like a loser.
Yeah? Well what if I did have something going on? Tell me what you're planning first.
You're free, I knew it! [Turns to Koizumi] How about you, Koizumi? I bet you got a date with a girlfriend, don't ya?
Itsuki Koizumi[Sighs] It would be wonderful if that were indeed the case, however, believe it or not, my schedule prior to Christmas Eve is completely open and flexible at present. To tell the truth, I was getting a little worried about how I was going to pass the time.
[Thinking] Liar. You made yourself free on purpose. Admit it!
Well, now you don't have to worry about it! Besides, this'll be way better. [Turns to Mikuru] How about you Mikuru? You've probably got plans, too! Like maybe someone asked you to watch that moment when rain turns to snow in the dead of night?
[Thinking] Suddenly, she's from the Shōwa era.
Actually, I don't have anything planned next week. [Confused] Dead of night?
[Thinking] You could go out with me, Miss Asahina!
[Turns to Yuki] Yuki?
Nothing.
Awesome!
[Thinking] Whoa!
Okay, then! It's settled! [Uncaps a marker and writes "SOS Brigade Christmas Party"] Since nobody has plans for next week, we're gonna throw an SOS Brigade Christmas party! As usual, if there are any objections, you can file them after the event and I promise I'll take them into consideration!
[Thinking] And, as usual, she's doing whatever she wants. She did ask everyone if they had plans, though. I guess she's making a little progress.
