Sure, but seeing as how they seem to have it pretty good here, they might just hold off on that, right? Or leave us in the lurch.

That's the thing, I don't think they do--- or well, I'm sure the executives do, but not the average member of the Organization. Because unlike us, they live out lifetimes here.
menial: (% can't say i do)

[personal profile] menial 2012-04-23 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. So they can't get back the time they spend here?

They can, but there's a low turnover. Think about it. Some people here vanish literally in days, they just show up and poof out. The longest of us have been here five years.

...There was this low ranking Malnosso who used to talk to use named Jacob. He's been here for- actually, no, he'd just been working for them for ten years... or well, thirteen now, I guess. That guy Catherine who talks with us sometimes had lived out the whole of his life and died a few times now. Apparently, if you die of old age you just reset to whatever age you came here at. Compared to that, compared to being in this world for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years, our time here looks like a blip. Insignificant, I guess, but mostly a hope, for them.
menial: (~ what.)

... You really do understand a lot of this, Haruhi.

So what do we do about it?
godbent: (So Kana--)

[personal profile] godbent 2012-04-23 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Duh, I said I did!

[It's not like she's done all her information collecting for nothing. But now she sighs, shaking her head]

...I don't know. Not yet. We're missing a very vital piece of information, so for the time being all we can try to do is learn it, and while we're at it try to learn more about the Organization and Third Parties so we can act when the time comes.
menial: (* certainly not)

[personal profile] menial 2012-04-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
['Wait, what?']

...So what is it that you think we're missing?
godbent: (Seriously I cried a little)

[personal profile] godbent 2012-04-23 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
The Organization and the people under them were pulled here to this world. We were pulled here to this world and put in this barrier by them. A bunch of other people were pulled to this world and put in other barriers by them. The Third Party came to be out of people who gave up on going home, defected from the Organization, can concluded the only way to fix things was to kill everyone in such a way that they're dead for good, severed from existence.

[it's obvious by now, right?]

We're being denied information about whatever "Force" takes people here in the first place.
menial: (% yeah yeah.)

[personal profile] menial 2012-04-23 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I see.

['Whenever we talk about omnipotent forces that no one can explain, I think of you, Haruhi. But that can't be right here, can it.']

So maybe that can be gotten by finding out how the Organization does its shifts?
godbent: (Angel Beats's finale sucked)

[personal profile] godbent 2012-04-23 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's one line of thought. It's the one I think has the most potential, too. [She walks away from the whiteboard to take a seat at the table...]

...Ideally, I'd like to be an intern there.
menial: (* once again not what i meant)

[personal profile] menial 2012-04-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
An "intern", huh? ['Pretty insulting to add that kind of title to the difficulties already.']

I didn't know they hired interns.
godbent: (I have always had a vagina)

[personal profile] godbent 2012-04-23 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
They do, just not from us barrier people. Yet.
