Uhh I am curious if this is the place that the Kyonko idea originated. I've been searching for it for a little bit and was just wondering if the origin was found or not. Or if it's somewhere else.
This would be the original spawning point of the English fandom, but the very beginning took place on Nico Nico. Although we seem to have made quite a bit of progress ever since we started. How much has the Japanese fandom created so far?

Bunch of Doujins, for one. Enough to KyoAni to notice.
Plenty of doujins that do that. We dislike such stories. Magical genderbending is boring.
We?
It can be done poorly, it can be done well, and while I do prefer the fully-swapped universe idea, I don't dislike the other stories simply based on that.
However I find that idea overdone and unoriginal, and many times executed terribly. That's my gripe.
It'd be a decent idea if it was played for more angst on Kyon's part, is all I'm saying.
Spoiler for September the Fourth, Day 3, Universe 1: Cat and Mouse:
Cat and Mouse
Nagato is taking me up the stairs.
Kyonko: Why not just go outside the school!? And I can walk for myself!
Yuuki: The possibility exists that physical displacement may occur during dimensional transfer. As such, it would be unwise to put you in further danger by exiting a relatively safe environment such as the school.
Kyonko: We’re in danger right now!
Yuuki: In addition, the short-range scan appears to be malfunctioning. Correction, it has restarted.
We reach the top of the stairs right as Nagato says this… and he steps back… and jumps right back down the stairs.
Kyonko: Waaaaaaah!
As before, Nagato lands perfectly. The students around us are scattering in a panic, unsurprisingly.
Kyonko: Nagato, what—
Yuuki: Enemies ahead. Retreating to a safer location.
---
Nagato and I are looking down from the top of the stairs.
Kyon: …Shouldn’t we follow them?
Yuki: No need. The intruders can be cut off at the next location.
Nagato runs off down the corridor, me directly behind her.
---
Nagato runs down the first-floor corridor, me safely in his arms, when--
Student: Hey, boy, ya shouldn't be runnin' in the halls, ya know. Bad form.
Some random second-year girl suddenly accosts us, grabbing Nagato's upper arm. She glances down at me.
Student: Nor should ya be carryin' off defenseless girls like you're some sorta pervert. Bad form too, nyoro. So why don't ya just put her down, and...
As I thought he would, Nagato wrenches himself out of her grip and runs off again without a word to the second-year.
Student: Heeey! Listen to me when I'm talkin' ta ya! Am I that scary!?
We turn corner after corner, heading towards--
---
Kyon: So what’s the ‘next location’?
I ask Nagato as we head down the stairs at the back of the main building.
---
Kyonko: The library!?
Nagato’s taken me to the library to hide. Great.
Yuuki: …Silence is requested when inside a library.
…Did he just tell me to shut up!?
Weaving through the bookshelves, Nagato eventually deposits me somewhere in the middle of the library.
Kyonko: Now what?
Yuuki: Performing short-range scan…
You have got to be kidding me. What does he run on? Windows ’95?
Yuuki: …Scan completed. Enemies at both front and back entrances.
Kyonko: Eh? Then we’re trapped?
Yuuki: …
Kyonko: Wait, question. Why are they even enemies? Why can’t we just talk this out peacefully.
Yuuki: …We cannot be allowed to come into contact with them no matter what.
With those words, Nagato bent down to my level…
---
Nagato’s plan is for us to cut them off here. If we can block both their ways out, they’ll have to come through at least one of us.
I can’t say I’m exactly confident in my ability to guard an entrance, though…
A sudden crashing noise echoed through the library… as one of the bookshelves suddenly fell over.
---
Nagato had grabbed me all of a sudden, jumped up, kicked off of one of the shelves, which went flying backwards, and landed on the one opposite.
I swear, my heart stopped about twice.
Kyonko: N-Nagato, what…
Without saying a word, Nagato jumps to the next shelf, his momentum knocking the one we were just standing on flying as well. Immediately, we jumped again, picking up speed. And again, and again… heading towards the big double windows set in one wall. Oh no…
This display of acrobatics has created a huge cacophony of noise, among them screams. Please don’t tell me you killed anyone, Nagato.
And with one final jump, we’re about to crash into the windows… I hear Nagato mutter something under his breath… and, once again, we pass through the window like it’s a sheet of water.
---
As I stare at the carnage in the library, I’m lost for words. At least no one appears hurt.
Kyon: Should we follow them…?
I ask Nagato, who has appeared beside me.
Yuki: Impossible.
Of course. No one normal could think of doing something like that, and it’d create way too much of a scene anyway. Just like this.
Yuki: All the bookshelves have been knocked down.
…Nevermind.
Kyon: Where are they headed now?
Nagato closes her eyes for a brief second, then answers.
Yuki: The…
---
Yuuki: …cafeteria.
Kyonko: Why there?
Yuuki: Large amount of students.
So it’d be easier to hide there. Makes sense.
We enter the cafeteria, Nagato dodging through students like always.
Near the back, however…
Yuuki: Enemies detected dead ahead.
Kyonko: What? Where?
Nagato wheels around… and knocks over some girl carrying an empty tray.
Girl: Hey! Watch where you’re going!
Kyonko: Sorry!
I apologize to her from Nagato’s arms.
Wait… that’s one of the girls from the pictures…!
I don’t get a chance to say anything else, since Nagato is now carrying me towards the kitchen, but I think I heard her mutter “weirdo”.
If you are who I think you are, you’re one to talk…!
---
I was about to climb through the tiny cafeteria window, but Nagato stopped me suddenly.
Kyon: What’s up?
Yuki: Intruders are no longer in that location. They are currently heading towards the back exit, through the kitchen.
Kyon: So if we hurry we can cut them off for real! Let’s go!
---
Kyonko: Hey, Nagato.
I asked as we dodged a cook.
---
Kyon: Have you ever considered that—
---
Kyonko: --the enemy might have a way to track us?
We had exited the kitchen through the back door, and…
Yuuki: Yes.
With that, he leapt… hit the exterior wall… and began running alongside of it, me still cradled in his arms.
…
Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Kyonko: Nagato what the hell what the hell are you doing?
Yuuki: Hiding is now without merit. Henceforth, running will take priority until the dimensional transfer is initiated.
Kyonko: What!?
Yuuki: Hold on tight.
We whipped around a corner at a blinding speed, and…
---
Kyon: Where… where did they go?
Yuki: Up.
I look up at the school building… and on one corner of the wall, I see a sudden flash of blue.
No way.
---
Just as Nagato was about to reach the edge of the wall, up onto the roof, he suddenly stiffened mid-run… and, with that, we fell off the wall.
…
Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Despite my utter terror, however, Nagato landed on his feet once again. Are you a cat or something?
Yuuki: Nyaa.
Kyonko: What, what’s wrong?
I asked, trying to catch my breath.
Yuuki: Access to that particular application is being denied. Executing backup plan.
…And off we go at full tilt again…
---
Kyon: How do we catch that!?
Yuki: Judging by the intruders’ current trajectory, they are heading for the gymnasium.
Heh… perfect.
Our gymnasium, by the way, has only a couple entrances and, most notably, no windows. We’ve got them now.
---
Kyonko: The gym? But if they pin us again, there’s no way out, right?
The basketball team had been practicing in here when we just barged in. They were, of course, staring at us.
Nagato paid them no attention and charged straight for the storage room. Isn’t that even more of a dead end!?
Once inside, Nagato finally put me down, and closed the door behind us.
Oi oi. What does this look like to the basketball players out there?
The storage room, by the way, is very tall in comparison to its width. Stacked high on many shelves are various sports utilities; bats, balls, the works.
Kyonko: I thought you said that hiding was for losers hiding is useless.
Yuuki: Not hiding.
Kyonko: Huh?
---
I look around the minute I enter the gym, as does Nagato across from me. No one can be seen except for a bunch of confused-looking basketball players.
Kyon: Hey, you guys, where did they go?
One of them points at the storage room.
Now if that isn’t a dead end. We’ve got them now!
I run towards the storage room, and wrench the doors open. As I do so, I hear a crashing noise, and…
I’m suddenly caught up in a flood of random sports equipment.
---
Nagato had, once again, grabbed me, and done his kick-off-shelves-to-get-higher-trick.
…Which, of course, destabilized them, sending mountains of sports equipment careening to the ground below.
I heard the door open and someone going “Aha!” but that quickly turned into the muffled, yet distinct sound of male screaming.
At the top of the storage room itself, Nagato spun around in midair and, I kid you not, roundhouse kicked through the wall.
We managed to land safely on the ground, predictably. Behind us, the chunks of concrete that formed the wall Nagato had smashed through floated in midair… and as Nagato muttered very quickly under his breath, the wall reformed, without a crack to show what had just been done to it.
My poor heart.
And with, that without so much as a word from Nagato, we’re off again…
---
Ye gods the pain.
Yuki: The intruders are now heading towards the old school building.
…Thank you, Nagato, but how did they even get out of that storage room? And could you help me out of here, please?
---
Nagato and I are now running up the stairs in the Old Shack, coincidentally near where Haruki first convinced me to join the SOS Brigade.
Kyonko: So why can’t we just go up the walls again if we’re heading for the roof?
Yuuki: Connection to the Data Overmind is being blocked in some areas. Alternately…
Kyonko: Alternately what?
Yuuki: What I am connected to may not be the Data Overmind at all.
Kyonko: …
---
Kyon: They’re heading for the roof?
Nagato nods, as we start to head up the stairs.
I’d say “We have them now” or something like that again, but very recent events have convinced me that might never be the case.
---
Nagato barges through the door to the roof, interrupting a tall second-year delinquent who had just wanted a quiet place to smoke.
Kyonko: Sorry! We’ll be out of your way in a minute!
Where are we going from here, anyway…? Straight of the roof, of course, given our current momentum. I guess that was rhetorical, huh Nagato?
Right before we jump off, I take a look back at the delinquent… who has just dropped his cigarette in shock.
I’d do the same thing in his position, especially since our trajectory is going to bring us straight into the middle of the pool oh god why Nagato why?
---
Yuki: They have moved again.
We were halfway up the stairs when she said this.
Kyon: From the roof!? Where the hell are they now?
Nagato does her focusing thing again, and…
Yuki: Their current position is…
---
I thought we were going to crash land into the pool, but Nagato muttered something else… and all the water turned into ice.
That’s even worse!
But instead of smashing into the ice, Nagato instead hit the surface… and slid all the way across the pool, landing on solid ground.
Kyonko: Haa… haa… why…
Behind us, the frozen pool returned to its normal, liquid state.
Nagato looked as though he was going to simply take off again, but I stopped him.
Kyonko: Nagato… wait, please.
Yuuki: …?
Kyonko: Please, let’s leave the school.
Yuuki: Physical displacement—
Kyonko: I don’t care!
I don’t know how to put this but… I’m in more danger when I’m with you then I would be if we rippled back into the middle of traffic.
Yuuki: Understood. Heading for the main entrance.
---
Kyon: ---the school gate!?
We’re now heading back down the stairs.
These ‘intruders’ of Nagato’s are clearly trying to escape.
Kyon: Now or never, huh…
Let’s get them.
Wait, why am I so excited about this in the first place!?
---
There are a couple students hanging around by the gates who gave us weird looks, but otherwise, we had no trouble getting out of the school.
Kyonko: So are there still enemies around?
Yuuki: Unknown. The short-range scan has broken down almost completely.
Kyonko: …Great.
Still, I think you can put me down now.
…On second thoughts, we’ll probably have to go back up the hill eventually, and if I don’t say anything, I can probably have him carry me up too.
…Nagato-san, can I hire you as a chauffeur?
Well, whatever. It’s fine just like
RIPPLE
Oh no it huuuuuuurtssss no no no but this is a good thing right but still no it hurts it tickles please oh god
Kyonko: Gaaahcck… Nagato…. Don’t… let me go…
RIPPLERIPPLERIPPLERIPPLERIPPLERIPPLE
It hurts feels good hurts feels good what is this rush this euphoria this disgust it’s funny the ripples it’s so funny gotta laugh but can’t laugh it hurts to laugh it’s okay to laugh why why why the pain good lord the pain my eyes behind my eyes like drills the pain it’s funny why shouldn’t I laugh
Kyonko: WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Everything is laughter it’s sound it’s fury it’s pain I love it I hate it I hate you all I love you all I want you all nothing is enough everything is everything I’m jealous sad angry happy turned on all at once it’s an eternity of madness I love it
Life’s a laugh my dear that’s the way the cookie crumbles that’s the way the world ends it’s lunchtime lunchtime it’s all but an illusion of sound and fury the cookie is crumbling this is madness this is Nishinomiya I’m mad as a hatter or two hatters that are twice as mad
RIPPLE!
I’m falling into madness I can hear my own laughter ringing everywhere don’t let me go Nagato don’t let me go don’t let me fall this far I can’t take it it’s funny I love it I hate it madness madness madness madness it all ends right here right now.
Congratulations.
Long live the queen.

Welp, that was fun.
Umineko either had an adverse effect on this project or a good one. I honestly can't tell which.
This took a long time to write. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.
It'd be a decent idea if it was played for more angst on Kyon's part, is all I'm saying.

Welp, that was fun.
Umineko either had an adverse effect on this project or a good one. I honestly can't tell which.
This took a long time to write. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.
I do think it needs refinement though.
Cool. This scene is just cool.
However there are few that just bug me.
How the hell no one notice Yuuki breaking the reality? Like turning a pool into ice and run straigth windows. There were no one seing it? Why Kyon didn't notice his enemy is far from normal? If he does (it is Nagato who is porsuing it after all), why he didn't ask she what they are ("evil aliens again?").
"Data Overmind" make my eyes screen in pain. Can't we use the other official version? (the anime and manga version are different right?). Well, I guess this is up to your personal preferences.
Why Yuki don't use her reality broke powers to stop then?
And most important: How the hell we are going to show it on screen? I guess Canada will have troble trying to figure it.
It is a cool scene anyway. The stroked words where funny. Also was Kyon geting exited with the 'game'.
Ah, the girl at cafeteria was Haruhi? I first thought it was Mikuru but being in cafeteria it must be Haruhi.
What, no comments on the sheer insanity of the last bit?

Kyon never quite sees what Yuuki does, for starters, and wait for the next scene, he'll definitely ask Yuki what the hell just happened.
As for people seeing stuff... just wait. Suffice to say Haruhi's going to be rather excited.

No, I want to conform to the official novel localization as much as possible. Except I refuse to use "Celestials" instead of "Avatars" for the Shinjin. "Avatars" make sense if you consider what they are. "Celestials" does not.

Yuuki doesn't care simply because this isn't his universe. There's more to it than that, too, as suggested by one of his lines.
What, no comments on the sheer insanity of the last bit?
I have gived up trying to understand the greentext. So my brain subconsciously ignore this kind of information.

As for people seeing stuff... just wait. Suffice to say Haruhi's going to be rather excited.
Oh, I see, next episodes are going to be interesting then. (are they going to appear 'today'? )

But... Data Overmind is just as stupid as Celestials... *sighs* Well, I guess there is nothing to do about it then.

What a jerk this Yuuki! Well, I guess it make sense. But how conserned is she about the itruders? It is just because Yuuki is conected with the, ugh, Data Ovemind? (he shouldn't, after all) Where was Kimidori then?

"Data Overmind" is less to type. Plus, "Avatars" makes sense. They're avatars of Haruhi, aren't they? "Celestials" doesn't seem as related and it sounds dumber.
"Avatars" is also less to type. I'm sure that at some point, the time saved by these choices will be valued.

At some point.
The fact that is less to type is why is dumb. The original name (情報統合思念体) have 7 kanjis, much more then a normal name has. It is supposed to be hard to say/write. That's why an abreviation is just plain stupid. If it was a simple name in japanese that becomes complex in english it would be understandble. But it is not.
However, I understand Kaisos wanting to stay faithfull to the book. I believe that the translation for the anime or manga could work. But is just because I am more used ot it. I didn't read the official novel translation nor have the intention to (if only they translate it to potuguese...). Anyway, it is how Kaisos think it is better, no point discussing it here.

Don't ask.
She have already appeared by the time of this game. And she never really becomes important. Anyway, I am not asking anymore.

Forgot about how you wouldn't have been used to the official English translation's terms.
It's a shame that there hasn't been an official translation in any other language. I kind of doubt there ever will be, though. Baka-Tsuki also doesn't seem to have too much translated in Portuguese, along with all the other languages there...
