It was Endless Eight, yeah.

Here's a interesting question, imagine you go to the same school as Haruhi, and know absolutely nothing about her until her infamous self introduction, How would you see her? Would you try to join the SOS Brigade?

No sane person would try to join the SOS Brigade. Haruhi just lacks the social skills to get people to want to join voluntarily.

I'd attempt to pretend both her and her Brigade don't exist.

Why would I want to be involved with something that just screams "trouble"?

[Jintor]

Because you secretly desire a world full of aliens and mysteries but are waaaaaaay too cynical to admit it, even to yourself.

Actually, I prefer that such things stay in fiction. Where I'm safe.

[Jintor]

So does Kyon. Apparently.

Except that he's obviously lying. I'm not.

[Jintor]

How can we tell?

I mean, you would tell us that you're not lying, but if that in itself was a lie...

But maybe I want you to think that I'm lying so that you think I'm not lying but that if I was lying I wouldn't actually be lying but I'm really lying but not.

[Jintor]

So what you're saying is that you're a liar.

I'd find her amusing. With the exception of her treatment of Mikuru during Sigh, I've always found her amusing. Seeing her as a real person wouldn't change that. (Keep in mind we also have to take into consideration that we wouldn't know she's a subconscious reality warper.)

As for the Brigade thing, if we're just going from her introduction and known actions shortly after the founding, yes, I'd attempt it. If declined(which I probably would be), I'd either shrug it off or try and sneak in anyway via joining the literature club, depending on how masochistic I were feeling that day

That's a lot of insane first-years in volume 9.

... if you're going to continue this, then one of you had better switch to a Koizumi avatar

No, I'm saying that you're a liar.

Therefore, you're lying about me being a liar about being a liar about being a liar.

About being a liar.

RECURSION

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Like I said. One of you switch to a Koizumi avatar if you want to continue. It's annoying to see two Kyons arguing over who's the liar.

Psssh. Liar.

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

I'm using a Nagato avatar. I'm allowed to lie. Not that I am, anyway.

... Damn it, don't drag me into this!

[Jintor]

We're all liars!

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Under normal circumstances, I'd use a cheap reference here. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what Lelouch said about lies.

[Guernsey]

But still I desire more Haruhi!

[Joe4evr]

Shut up, I know exactly how to find the liar by asking:

Is 'no' your answer to this question?
