Feel free to get in contact with me here, if you have comments on my portrayal of Kyon or otherwise.
And just to clarify typography in his tags which may be confusing:
Normal text is speech.
[Action brackets are what they usually are.]
['Small italics in single quotes'] represent Kyon's internal narration, a prominent feature of his in canon. Usually commentary.
And if you ever have the misfortune of writing prose with me, you may notice that it switches tenses and POV, to some extent, e.g.:
I'm adopting this system because of his narration style in canon (which is first person and doesn't always differentiate between thoughts and speech--though I won't do that latter part), but if you'd prefer more straightforward tags (without narration) just let me know here.

For some reason, Kyon preferred that someone this persistent would just have his nickname. "Kyon," he said. "At least, that's what people call me." Is that what assassins say about their names, too?

['December 18th. According to this calendar, anyway. My body calendar, if such a thing exists, is stuck somewhere in the limbo between May and December. If I'm expecting the world to change again, it should be today, shouldn't it?
...Tch, that's a stupid hope. I haven't heard anything from the other Brigade members, Haruhi evidently hasn't either, and all in all, this anniversary is coming a lot earlier than I'd hoped. Though even if it had been a year later, it would've been earlier than I'd hoped.
There must be something about this season that inspires all this melancholy...']
[voice; filtered away from Haruhi // 40%]
Yo. Quick question, I guess... Was anyone here ever in a different world from their home before they came here? Or an alternate version of their world or anything like that.
[He starts to think that that might be a bit of a giveaway.] Sorry if someone's asked that before. Guess I'm wondering if anyone figured anything out about traveling between dimensions or whatever before they came here.
[action]
[And, no longer content to sit in his house on a day like this, still looking for some kind of hint or anything like that, he can be found in the library, pulling down book by book methodically and... not reading them, just flipping through them very quickly, apparently looking for something.
Or, afterwards, trudging aimlessly through the plaza with a discontent expression.]

['End of the month. Check. Strange things appearing for no reason. Check. This would be, if I had the choice, the part where I run and hide from the experiment. However, the content that appeared is just bizarre.']

"A fart will follow you into the car, ruining your date."
This sounds like one of those bad Western comedies. You know, the ones with lazy slacker heroes who're forced into wacky adventures...
['Wait, if I had to honestly describe my own life... As they say at home, the eye wax laughing at the snot*.'
And so he decides to leave it at that.]
[action]
[Today, then, Kyon will be found wandering around in the Welcome Center and the plaza, annoyed, because, quite according to the horoscope, his keys are missing.
'This does not bode well. Well, I guess "against all odds, you will accomplish a basic task" isn't ominous so much as simply insulting. But "you will have a chance encounter with romance today so take a bath, for God's sake"... That one could be problematic. In all kinds of ways.']

[A teenage boy is extricating himself with some difficulty from having been dumped, or appearing, in the middle of the fountain in the center of the village. He's muttering to himself and clambering out. He's dressed in the generic-enough North High uniform, but of more interest may be what he's saying -- which is picked up by the split-open journal next to him.]
...Really, Haruhi? After all of that, I'm in some other time and place again?! Oh, boy. She really just doesn't stop... Where the hell is it this time?
[Once he gets up and brushes himself off, he can be found staring with slightly less bewilderment than you might expect at his surroundings.]
