[When the Vine comes to life, it seems to have focused on a rather pensive Suruga. Confused would be a more apt term to describe her, actually. She's got a certain look on her face, one that seems rather similar to someone being brought here for the first time. But that can't be right, as she had already been living in the Gardens for quite a while.

And since when did she let hair grow out like that?

But then, out of nowhere, it all seems to click right into place for her. Eyes widening as she makes her declaration.]

Ah, that's right! I remember now!

[A nod, as she crosses her arms.]

Yes, it all came back to me. In fact, it actually just managed to prove a certain theory I had. I should be grateful for that. Now let's see, first of all, I should probably...

[Oh, what's that? Suruga has noticed that she's being recorded.

Wait, why does she seem so embarrassed all of a sudden?

OOC NOTE: Suruga has now been canon updated to the ending of Nisemonogatari. What changes does this bring? Simple. Longer hair. Less clothing.

And she's gotten that much more in touch with her inner nudist.]

Oh, pray tell what you think my future may look like.

[reallyerotic]

While I would normally be happy to do so, I think it's best if you experience it for yourself. That way, the impact will be that much more memorable, and you'll have truly realized the mistake you made.

But don't worry, you can always change your mind.

[shanghaiworld]

Such cruelty. You would rather I walk myself into danger, rather than help me avoid it?

[reallyerotic]

You seem more than capable of being able to handle yourself.

Or am I wrong?

[shanghaiworld]

... So what prompted this change?

[reallyerotic]

Change? Maybe it's always been like this for me.

[shanghaiworld]

Who say's I'm talking about what you are and not your looks?

[reallyerotic]

Ah, you mean my appearance? I wanted to try something a little more feminine.

What do you think?

[shanghaiworld]

I think that just because it's longer, doesn't make it feminine.

[reallyerotic]

And I think you're mistaken about that.

[shanghaiworld]

So you're saying that since my hair is on the short side, I appear more boy like?

[reallyerotic]

Well, if we're being honest with each other, there's only one answer I could give...

[shanghaiworld]

Please tell me that the answer is "I'm too demented to know anything, Miss Alice".

[reallyerotic]

I'm afraid it's not.

[shanghaiworld]

Can I pretend it is?

[reallyerotic]

Feel free.

Of course, just pretending wouldn't be enough for someone like myself.

[shanghaiworld]

If I think hard enough, it will become reality.

[reallyerotic]

While I don't disagree with you doing that, it might take a while.

[shanghaiworld]

I really don't know how I should take you saying that.

[reallyerotic]

Why don't I help decide for you?

[shanghaiworld]

I refuse.

[reallyerotic]

It doesn't surprise me that you would feel that way.
