So, as you can see, I just made a new archive post. CandaAotS vanished suddenly, so I took his place. Sorry, Canada, if you come back you can back to it if you preffer. J I copied shamelessly his post, because it was really good, and pretty. Just added the spoiler tags to make it shorther.

It is still incomplete. Latter I will hunt for edits. I also added a new section for Binjovi's images. Latter will will post all images he posted in th thread there.

Please, feel free to point any typo I made. We all want a pretty archive right?

Oh, if no one post I will latter edit this post with my comments and nitpicks of the last update.

... I had a enormous bluechessium post almost done... And acidentally deleted it.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggh!!

Ah, whatever! Blah blah, thank-you bhl blah blah blah Kaisos' scenes are good and Binjovi's image are too.

Anyway, what I have of 'important' to say is about the truck scene. I was going to say it was absurdelly OOC and breaking my Willing Suspension Of Disbelief . However, otai's post made me reconsider. I still have a problem with they getting out of the police so easily, so I suggest having they just being ignored by them and having Yuki commenting she altered data to drive their attention away. I also suggest a new variable here because hearing Haruhi talking about it would be funny (it was her patrol day, after all, she must have heared something).

Also, about Itsuko's scene, I fell Kyon over describe her. It is a VN, so it is not really necessery as she have a sprite. Specially now Kaisos said he changed his plans for them. I also think she should say at last "hi" to Kyon first.

That is it (oh, how I hate myself now). As a last comment, someone must make a fanfic with ninja!Yuuki. He already have samurai!Ryou as a rival after all.

PP:
Ah, and I excluded Binjovi's original samples from the Archive. There is no point listing them there now.

You are wellcome. From me, the hardest part was looking for the edits, actually. Looking for the original scenes is easy, as are all done by the same person. The edits, by the other hand, are more complex.

Speaking on this, I might have missed something. I posted this Ricky's post in the archive, however, I almost missed it, as he didn't use the same name convention for the spoiler tag. Ricky, did you, by any chance, made any other edit?

dragon4dudes · 2010-01-11, 17:07

Kaisos, that sucks.... or does it? Epic all the way through with or with out regard of the ending. Fantastik! ("Fantastic" is spelled wrong for a reason.) I give it my two thumbs and I roll a D20 to cast steal thumb. (Another reference)

I wonder how many references I can make in a single post. I try whenever I have the time and care to put the effort in. Or somebody else can try.

Soooo... what!? Well, I guess this explain her werid behavior.

Oh, well, the scene was very nice, but I have a few nitpicks.

First is the "Kitsuko-chan" part. I doubt Kyon would call her like that. As Itsuko said, it don't fit him. Beside, he don't even call Mikuru by the first name, despite she having asking her so. I believe he would politelly and stumblely refuse. The main poit is Kyon only call Haruhi by her first name, and I believe there is a meaning for this. Of course this can change eventually in the course of the NV (this for all girls, I guess)

Second is about that Kiss of Death of her. I did a quick search to make sure it rally eist (it do! Awesome). The problem is how she gets one in the first place. I doubt The Organization would give it to her, so I assume she carries with her all time? Even when she is at school? Kinda weird, but not really umbeliavable.

Now, the end. I don't really understood, did she really fired? If so, why? I can understand her being paranoic about the headphones. For all she knows, it all could be an elaborated conspiration by the enemies of The Organization (like Kyou's faction). The 'absurd' way she acted toward Kyon is beliavable considering she must be in panic in a strange territory with few, unreliable, allies (even Yuuki, who is not -really- her ally, seens to be powerless). However, firing is a bit too much. What she intent to do after that? It was an accident then?

By the way, I think there is something missleading there. However, I also tought it might be a weird Dead End for when you don't have enough flags (what flag is missing them?). If so, I think it is an awesome ide. And a very shocking one too. I really hope Kyon is realy dead.

PP:
Also, as much I like the "kill the main character every time he screws up" style, I suggest having a "go to where you screwd up" option in the Game Over screen. Even with the skip scene feature, it is a pain have to play all the way back if you forgot to save.

PPP:
Oh, I forgot to comment, it is kinda obvious, but this was the weirdest scene so far. Even more then the lol random green scene. Well, maybe "weird" is not the best word. Maybe shocking? I believe it might be even better exclude the first section, to increase the shocking value. Specially if the scene is for real.

luap1138 · 2010-01-11, 21:43

I doubt this was actually a "kill the main character because he screwed up" moment. Mostly because if Itsuko had killed Kyon, he would have been dead before the sound of the gunshot had a chance to ring in his ears. Either the shot went somewhere else or she didn't shoot and the sound came from elsewhere.

Of course, it could just be artistic license. Or that the Kiss of Death fires at subsonic speed (I was unable to find any information on its firing speed).

Ah, shut up.

How the hell he would describe it then? It is all from the Kyon perspective, so Kaisos have to tell the reader Kyon died somehow.

I am not sure it is really a Bad End, tough. If so Kaisos need to edit some scenes and add some variable somewhere. The way it is now is like punishing the player for going to Itsuko's route (Do you want to get the hot girl? Too bad!). There is also the need to get her route somehow.

Still, he said he had a new idea for her route last page, and that he might go edit some past scenes to reflect it. So it is not impossible. I just think it would be awesome a shocking death now.

PP:
The fact Kaisos hadn't say anything yet and didn't posted a word beside the scene is also very suspicious. It is like he is enjoying the reaction before explaning something.

"And then I died."
or
"And th-"
or
"In hindsight, it was a bad idea to try to call her bluff, seeing as it wasn't a bluff. Which means that you're communicating with the dead right now. Did you know that you could do that? Haruhi would definitely recruit you if she found out."

But yeah, artistic license.

Very true.

dragon4dudes · 2010-01-12, 00:23

It's not like the gunshots actually had to be from the Kiss of Death. As Sute said, there is the possibility that it came from somewhere else. This scene would make an interesting bad end. Stupid cliffhangers, leaving me to want more. I hate being Cliff Hanger, hanging from a cliff (Kudos to you if you understand that reference. I feel like a moron simply posting it.).

I doubt Kyon's death here simply because Itsuko should know the implications of his death by now. I think there was more I wanted to say, but now I forget.

I loved that show.

***CrowKenobi*** · 2010-01-12, 00:29

I like the first bit, and between bouts of laughter, I kept wondering how Itsuko kept herself from bursting out laughing during their "walk..." then the serious part...

I don't think the gun is really necessary, threatening Kyon's "family jewels" would be more than enough...

Though I wish Itsuko would use a non-violent way to inquire about the headphones, bad-end or no... don't want Kyon intimidated by her later on (more than Haruhi, anyway

).

I also doubt his death. When you only have one guy you suspect to have information, it's not a good idea to kill him.

If the gun were pointed at his chin, wouldn't he needed to move it to close the distance? Perhaps the shot was at the side of his face went off and didn't hit anything.

Or maybe it's not a firearm at all. Not sure how you'd sneak one into Japan.

The first suggestion is pretty lame.

The last one is hilarious. Anyway, yeah, artistic license would be more likely. However, I am not sure, but wouldn't be a bullet slower then sound?

Ok, now things are confusing. You are suggesting someone else fired at them? Who? Why?

For why Itsuko fired. You must first remember there is no way to Itsuko know for sure it is not all an elaborated trap from an enemy of the Organization. I mean, they are the guys dealing with God. The only way for then not having tons of enemies is keeping secrecy, but what if someone discovered? Also, She has no way to know if any other supernatural party exist. Or maybe even Yuuki's party may have allied with the "enemy". We also know that the organization has at last one group who don't like then (but their goals are similar).

That being said, the "Kyon" of the "new world" is wearing Haruki's headphones. Why? This don't make any sense or whatever. Definitivelly suspicious. I can understand why she was so... agressive.

Of courese, there is no reason for actually firing. Bluffing is good, firing is not. For her, killing "Kyon" here is a problem in every possibility. For once she would have to deal with the police, she also would have to fight, maybe alone, with more enemies agents. Also, if he do eding up being a "Kyon of another world" (which is the case, as we know ^^

this might resulting with the end of this world (a big problem, considering she is stuck there now

).

For taht reason, I would say the shoot was an accident. Guns are dangerous thing, and you can ending up screwing with then in the worse momment. She is, after all, very young, it is not that surprising having her commiting such dumb mistake in a momment of tension.

Anyway, yeah, cliffhanger sucks. Trolling authors are even worse.

In a completelly unrelated side note, is my new signature appearing? It is normal I don't seeing it?

If this actually has "Dead Ends" as opposed to just "Bad Ends", we totally need a Tiger Dojo.

Tyabann Homo Ludens Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Canada Age: 34	Spoiler for September the Sixth, Day 5, Itsuko: Riverside- Lipstuck: Lipstuck In fact, I remember those old folk tales of hundred-year-old kitsune taking the form of beautiful women and tricking witless men. I remember it because it applies pretty well to my current situation. Steel brushes against the underside of my chin. Even in this heat, it's ice cold. ...How did this even happen? --- The pathway by the river is, in the spring, unofficially reserved for lovers, who walk under the falling cherry blossoms in bliss. As someone who's never had a real girlfriend, I've always been extremely jealous of people who can just flaunt their relationships like that. Itsuko: So, you're saying that we look like a pair of lovers right now? Kyon: ...! That isn't what I was... Yamada-san laughs in that strange, cartoonish way again. Itsuko: Hohohoho, you're way too easy. Although, to be honest, I'd heard about that tradition before inviting you here. ...Now that you know this, wouldn't you think I had some ulterior motive in doing so? Kyon: ...You... This woman is so far out of my league, and in so many ways... Even trying to hold a conversation with her is like heavy exercise. Still... the effort is proportional to the payout, and spending time with a girl this beautiful is more than worth it. I should probably be straight about this, though. Kyon: Yamada-san... Itsuko: Hmm, what is it? Going to confess? It's about time. Kyon: ...It's about who you really are. I heard from your cousin. Itsuko: ......? Kyon: Your real name is Itsuko Koizumi, and you're an esper. ...Sorry, I pumped Koizumi for the info... I was curious. Not that I think he told me everything, of course... Itsuko: ...So, you know my secret. ...I certainly hope it doesn't change your opinion of me. She looks dejected, which is an extremely cute look on her. ...Nonetheless, I feel the need to wipe this negative expression and restore her smile. Kyon: Of course not. If I thought worse of you for lying to me, I wouldn't be here with you right now. Itsuko: Oh, that's good then. She's back to normal already! Well, she was probably never sad at all in the first place. Itsuko: May I make a request? Kyon: What is it? Itsuko: I'd like you to still call me “Yamada-san”, if you'd like. I feel it establishes a personal connection between us, one that means a lot to me. Sure thing, Yamada-san. She winks at me again. I think my poor heart is going to give out from this alone. Itsuko: Shall we continue? --- Things had returned to normal, except that Yamada-san, who had formerly been walking about three feet away from me, was now close enough for our shoulders to touch. If she were Koizumi, I would have told her to get away from me, but... I'm okay with this! Kyon: So, uh. Where are you from, anyway? Itsuko: Oh, do you really have to know? I'd prefer it if my past were intentionally kept in the dark. Don't you think a mysterious unknown backstory makes me more interesting? ...Or would you continue to like me anyway? As she says this, she stares directly into my eyes, as though daring me to find another interpretation of that question. I'll have to avoid it entirely. Kyon: ...I'm just curious. Itsuko: Sigh. Very well. She looks disappointed that I didn't take the bait, but you won't ensare me that easily, ohoho. Dammit, it's catching. Itsuko: I'm from Tokyo. Kyon: ... Itsuko: ... Kyon: Is that it? Itsuko: Why, yes. ...Moving on. --- Itsuko: Enough about my mysterious past. Tell me about yourself, Kyon-kun. What are your hobbies, besides staring at women you find attractive when you think they're not looking? Kyon: I don't really have any, to be honest. Itsuko: ...You could at least react to my carefully worded statements, but I suppose you have built up a tolerance already. I had better change tactics. Do you belong to any clubs? Kyon: You already know the answer to this, I'm sure. I belong to a club where all I do is follow the orders of an insane dictator and try to keep her subconscious mind from destroying the world. Speaking of which, we're always looking for members. If you're mysterious enough, I'm sure Haruhi will let you join... I'd love to have you with us. Let's see how she takes that. Itsuko: ...“Haruhi”, hmm? You two sound close... Suddenly, I'm overwhelmed with feelings of jealousy. She grabs one of my hands with both of hers. Itsuko: I've changed my mind. Please refer to me as “Kitsuko-chan”... I'll be in your care from now on. H-her palms are so soft... what does she do to make herself so perfect!? Kyon: S-s-sure thing, K-Kitsuko-chan. I feel as though I'm rapidly becoming her servant in both body and soul. And I really don't care. Itsuko: Hmm, no, it doesn't suit you at all. Stick with “Yamada-san”. It fits your stoic image so much better. Kyon: ...I have a 'stoic image'? Itsuko: Certainly. Why, even with your lack of interesting hobbies and involvement with an unsanctioned club well known for being involved in rather shady activities, I'm sure you're very popular with the ladies at North High. Kyon: Y-you think so? Even the way she's looking at me is starting to make me feel lightheaded. This isn't good, isn't good. Itsuko: I do. After all, you're quite good-looking, Kyon-kun. I think it's something about your eyes, and also the aforementioned stoic image. You rarely let your expressions show, except when you are nervous or flustered, like now, for instance. I think many women would find this attractive. My fried brain is going to make me say stupid things. Like this. Kyon: ...Are you one of them? She grins like a fox. ...In English, the word “foxy” means “sexually attractive”. There is no better word to describe Yamada-san. Itsuko: Hmm. I wonder; hohohohoho. She really does seem to be enjoying herself. I'm glad that I can provide even this much entertainment for her. Still... Kyon: ...It's kind of hard to walk like this, so could you let go of my hand? Itsuko: But why? You seem to be enjoying it so much. Kyon: What makes you think that? Itsuko: Flushed face, sweaty palms, your pulse rate has nearly doubled, and you seem to have completely forgotten that I have facial features. ...She has to keep pointing that out, doesn't she? --- In the end, Yamada-san didn't let go of my hand. In fact, she stuck as close to me as possible, leaning her head on my shoulder. Kyon: Y-you can stop any time, by the way. My brain isn't getting near the oxygen it should. Hell, I can't even think at all with her attached to me like this. Itsuko: Why? It's clearly making you uncomfortable, and I enjoy making inexperienced men uncomfortable. Oh and please do not misunderstand and assume that I've fallen for you, by the way. I most likely have not. This is all for my own entertainment. ...At least she's being straight about it, I guess. Unlike her cousin. Itsuko: Oh, I must apologize. Did I crush your still-forming dreams there? If so, don't worry too much. You might still have a chance with me if you, ah, play your metaphorical cards correctly. ...This girl is such a sadist. I really don't mind, though. What I do mind is the appearance we're giving off to other people. I try to get my thoughts in order. This is difficult to do, because from this position I can see straight down that frilly pink top, a fact that I'm sure she's aware of. Kyon: Yamada-san... Itsuko: Is it finally the time for a confession? You know, I might actually accept if you make it good enough. Wish yourself luck! Kyon: N-not that. I really do think you should let go of me... someone might see, and get the wrong impression... I sound awkward... but I think all my brain cells have died of asphyxiation anyway, so I no longer care. Itsuko: Sigh... why are you so concerned with appearances? It really does not matter what others think of you, only what you think of yourself. Besides, by my last count, seven people have already passed us by and mistaken us for a loving couple. It's a little too late to be worrying about the impressions of those around us... That's not it either... The thing about Haruhi Suzumiya is that, despite everything about her, she has one of the best information networks I've ever seen or heard tell of. If anyone we both know manages to see me and Yamada-san like this, you can bet Haruhi will know about it before the day is out... and then there'd be a huge misunderstanding, likely culminating in misery for everyone. Itsuko: So you think Haruhi-chan would get jealous if she saw us like this? Hoh... well, if such a time comes, know that I'd gladly fight her for you. Kyon: ... Itsuko: Of course, that was a joke. Perhaps. Kyon: ... Itsuko: ...Something the matter? Usually you'd have tried to change the subject by now. I used to read a lot. In my foolish youth, I remember reading a story about a demon who would appear whenever his name was called three times. Or was it a god, not a demon? It doesn't matter. Haruhi must be a god (or demon) cut of a similar cloth, because she has appeared, not a hundred yards away. Itsuko: ...Ah. Hm. How interesting. Kyon: She's not looking this way... we should escape while we still have the chance...! Itsuko: Well, I suppose this is the opportune moment. Yamada-san, her hand still in mine, starts pulling me to the side of the walkway, in the shade of the cherry blossom trees. Kyon: Hey, wait, we should be running for our lives right about now? Itsuko: Is “fight or flight” really the only response a human can have to danger? Isn't there another way to go about things? Another basic instinct that drives us all? She pushes me up against a cherry tree... and then pushes herself up against me. ....S-soft! They're so soft! She's so soft! Softer than I ever could have imagined. Yamada-san places her hands on my shoulders, then wraps her arms around my neck. Itsuko: There. Now don't we look like real lovers? As long as you keep you head down and your eyes focused on mine, Haruhi-chan will pass by without even noticing us. Except to perhaps give us a look of disgust. Kyon: I. Um. I. That. It. We should. Er. Itsuko: Ssssssh. The tips of our noses are touching. The deep color of her irises fills my vision. I feel her warm breath on my lips. I'm going to go insane. Perhaps I've already gone insane. Do the insane know that they're insane? Or are they blissfully unaware, as I am of my surroundings right now? Itsuko: You know, I've been giving it some consideration, and I actually think we should become lovers. Don't you agree? Kyon: !!!!! I have no words remaining in my head. All that remains is raw desire and, in a tiny corner, a vague sense of foreboding. Yamada-san removes her left arm from my neck, and begins to slowly run her hand down my chest. Slowly. Ever so slowly. Itsuko: Clearly, you want me very badly... and I, on my part, find you a fascinating person. We'd be good together, don't you think? I nod in a way reminiscent of Nagato. I can't move my head any more. I'd lose all restraint if I did. Yamada-san's hand stops just below my ribcage, and, for some reason, she sighs. Itsuko: You're far too gullible. She'd be ashamed to see you like this. And she punches me in the stomach. I'd double over with the pain, but Yamada-san's grip prevents me from doing so. In any case, I'm stunned, in many ways. What just...? Itsuko: I would suggest you keep very still... you wouldn't want Haruhi-chan to see you like this, would you? After all, she might end up destroying the universe. And we cannot have that, can we? Kyon: cough Still can't speak... I feel like throwing up... Yamada pulls a silvery something out of her pocket and presses it lightly against the underside of my chin. I feel the cold caress of steel. Itsuko: Do you know what this is...? Of course you don't, you can't even see it from this angle. I'll tell you. Well, it can only be one of two things, if you plan on threatening me with it... but why on earth...? Itsuko: It's called the “Kiss of Death”. It's a 4.5 mm single-shot pistol disguised as a tube of lipstick, used primarily by KGB spies during the Cold War. I received it as a present from a teacher of mine. That's great. Lovely. So why are you pointing it at me!? Itsuko: ...Now that our history lesson is over, I have some questions for you. In case you were wondering, that's the reason I've been stringing you along all this time. Kyon: ...Q-questions? I've finally found my voice again, which makes Yamada smile. The smile hasn't changed a bit from five minutes ago when we were smiling cheerfully together. I can't decide whether that's scary or not. Itsuko: Yes, questions. I'm sorry to inconvenience you, but it would be nice if you answered them. Correctly, that is. I'll know if you're lying. You see, in a threatening situation like this one, your heart rate would quicken if you tell falsehoods, and, well, my left ring finger is digging into your carotid artery, so... It's true. It is. It hurts, by the way. Itsuko: So, without further ado, let's begin. Question one! Do you know of the existence of parallel universes? Kyon: ...What's that supposed to mean? What a Haruhi-like question. Itsuko: I can see that you don't. Next question... oh, wait, here she is. Hold very still, please. Yamada pushes herself up against me again. This time, it's not very arousing, since I'm much too focused on the lipstick gun brushing against my chin. Nevertheless, Yamada is wearing an expression like the one girls wear when they want to be kissed... ...Her lips are only a centimeter away... Itsuko: A warning: If you try anything, I will shoot. So, please don't try anything. Don't worry, I won't. Haruhi passed without incident, only uttering a “tch!” that went with her typical look of disgust. ...Can you let me go now, Yamada-san? Itsuko: Question Two. I suppose not. Itsuko: Where, exactly, did you get these headphones? Headphones. The word causes a buzzing to erupt from the pair around my neck. The buzzing is inaudible. It's something only I can hear. Kyon: It was a birthday present from-- The pistol digs deep into my skin. Itsuko: I've already warned you once. Please do not lie. Kyon: ...Why not? Yamada looks surprised, then sighs. Itsuko: You seem to be misunderstanding one of the basic assumptions of our conversation. If you do not answer my questions correctly, I will shoot you through the head. I really, really do not want to do so, since I find-- Kyon: Is that really all it was? Itsuko: What? Kyon: All that smiling and laughing and flirting... it was all because you wanted to know where I got these headphones? Itsuko: ...That isn't entirely true. I originally talked to you in the record store because I found you interesting during our meeting yesterday, but then I saw these. Tap, tap. Itsuko: That was when I knew you weren't a person to be trusted. That was when I knew that you had something to do with all this. That you had something to do with him. Kyon: ...Who? I know who. It's that guy. The one guy. The guy with the headphones. Who was he, again? ...The headphones drone on, sounding like a hive. The buzzing almost sounds like a song. A song of vengeance, redemption, and lost and found love. It's a song I cannot stand to hear. It riles me up. I can feel the buzz. Kyon: Hey, Yamada-san. Itsuko: ...Are you ready to answer my question? Please say yes. I don't want to dispose of a body... I've never done so before and I really don't know-- Kyon: That gun isn't loaded, is it? Itsuko: ... Kyon: I'm right, aren't I? And because it's not loaded, I can do whatever I want. Itsuko: Which would be? Don't misunderstand, by the way. I'm not confirming or denying your insane assumption. Kyon: I can do something like this. I put my arms around her and close the gap that's a centimeter wide. The distinct noise of a gunshot rings in my ears.

Epic all the way through with or with out regard of the ending. Fantastik! ("Fantastic" is spelled wrong for a reason.) I give it my two thumbs and I roll a D20 to cast steal thumb.

dragon4dudes Uncountable rationality Join Date: May 2007 Location: Following the clouds North. Age: 31	It's not like the gunshots actually had to be from the Kiss of Death. As Sute said, there is the possibility that it came from somewhere else. This scene would make an interesting bad end. Stupid cliffhangers, leaving me to want more. I hate being Cliff Hanger, hanging from a cliff (Kudos to you if you understand that reference. I feel like a moron simply posting it.). I doubt Kyon's death here simply because Itsuko should know the implications of his death by now. I think there was more I wanted to say, but now I forget. __________________ Time is an illusion.

Heatth Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Brasil Age: 33	So, as you can see, I just made a new archive post. CandaAotS vanished suddenly, so I took his place. Sorry, Canada, if you come back you can back to it if you preffer. J I copied shamelessly his post, because it was really good, and pretty. Just added the spoiler tags to make it shorther. It is still incomplete. Latter I will hunt for edits. I also added a new section for Binjovi's images. Latter will will post all images he posted in th thread there. Please, feel free to point any typo I made. We all want a pretty archive right? Oh, if no one post I will latter edit this post with my comments and nitpicks of the last update.

Heatth Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Brasil Age: 33	... I had a enormous bluechessium post almost done... And acidentally deleted it. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggh!! Ah, whatever! Blah blah, thank-you bhl blah blah blah Kaisos' scenes are good and Binjovi's image are too. Anyway, what I have of 'important' to say is about the truck scene. I was going to say it was absurdelly OOC and breaking my Willing Suspension Of Disbelief . However, otai's post made me reconsider. I still have a problem with they getting out of the police so easily, so I suggest having they just being ignored by them and having Yuki commenting she altered data to drive their attention away. I also suggest a new variable here because hearing Haruhi talking about it would be funny (it was her patrol day, after all, she must have heared something). Also, about Itsuko's scene, I fell Kyon over describe her. It is a VN, so it is not really necessery as she have a sprite. Specially now Kaisos said he changed his plans for them. I also think she should say at last "hi" to Kyon first. That is it (oh, how I hate myself now). As a last comment, someone must make a fanfic with ninja!Yuuki. He already have samurai!Ryou as a rival after all. PP: Ah, and I excluded Binjovi's original samples from the Archive. There is no point listing them there now.

*CrowKenobi* One PUNCH! Administrator Join Date: Dec 2005	I like the first bit, and between bouts of laughter, I kept wondering how Itsuko kept herself from bursting out laughing during their "walk..." then the serious part... I don't think the gun is really necessary, threatening Kyon's "family jewels" would be more than enough... Though I wish Itsuko would use a non-violent way to inquire about the headphones, bad-end or no... don't want Kyon intimidated by her later on (more than Haruhi, anyway ).
