[Before anything else, Haruki puts up a rather paranoid filter on the whole entry. One he works very had at creating because, well... he's got his reasons, really. The end result is that:]

[Voice // Filtered from Pride // 98% Unhackable]

...Alright, first things first As many of you probably know, Luceti's own number one idol, Miichan of the SOS-Brigade is having a birthday party tomorrow! SOS-Brigade, you're required to attend! Blue Rogues, you guys ought to come too! For that matter, so should everyone else! I've taken the liberty of setting everything up so all you need is presents! After all, this is a girl's fourteenth birthday; set it up to be something awesome, alright?!

It'll be tomorrow, behind the Brigade building. I expect a good turnout, is that understood?!

[He sighs there and shakes his head. Alright, good enough. But then, considering something... he's got something else he kinda wnts to gloat about but isn't sure if he should... and maybe he's obligated to tell some other people. Anyone listening to this might notice him humming, of all things this song during this pause.]

...Y'know. [Should he say it? He laughs and then cuts off] Nah, nevermind.

But he should say something to a few people. He feels obligated to after that bit with Luka. ...Sokka? No, Winry will tell him, right? But he wants to tell him anyway. He needs to tell Shiki though. And Keiichi because he'll freak out. ...And Guy? Maybe Guy. Dammit this whole having friends thing is complicated. In the end, however-]

[Voiced // Filtered to Sokka, Shiki, Neku, Keiichi, Leon, and Usagi // 90% 100% Unhackable]

Oi! Guys! I've got something to tell you guys. [...But then as soon as he makes this entry he might lose his nerve? Oh well]

[Action]

[July 31st. Haruki Suzumiya turns eighteen today. Originally, he hadn't planned to do anything - after all, only a handful of people know: Shiki, probably Neku by extension, Usagi, Leon, probably Al, maybe Uriko if she remembers, some others. Oh and he told Winry. Point is he originally decided he wasn't going to make a big deal about it what with all that's been going on. Not to mention a full third of his Brigade gone.

But well, he could use a pick up. And other people probably need things to focus on, so today he rigged up something at Brigade HQ. As it's Saturday and the status of the Seventh Heaven isn't officially confirmed there's no meeting or lunch today, but outside the HQ is a sign that says-

"CHIEF OF THE SOS-BRIGADE'S EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY. COME IN FOR GIFT DEPOSIT AND WELL-WISHING"

And inside they'll find Haruki sitting in his chair with Sekai on the table next to him and him with his headband tied in the gayest way ever.

Of course this might not be the only way to do this so later in the day, once he's confident the fighting for the day will have ended-]

[Voice]

How're you guys doing out there? Usagi, Leon, Uriko, Vash, all you guys.

[Voice/Action]

[Now with Naoki back and other things out of the way, Haruki has decided to take this time on this fine evening to, well, stargaze. He does this a lot, to be honest, but usually only when he's in a mood. Maybe he's in a mood tonight. The stars look so different here and he can't help but think of C'Thun. ...C'Thun makes him think of something else though. He sighs and flips open the book next to him:]

...Oh right. Brigade, anyone else that knew her, Nagato's gone. I think. Mammon, can you confirm that?

[But after he does that he's no longer content to look at it like this. He thinks they have a telescope somewhere in the house, but it's not... a particularly good one. Maybe there's a better one in the shop? Sure it's like 10+ PM, but whatever.

He climbs of his roof and starts to head into town to get him a telescope. Will anyone run into him on the way there or at the shop itself? Or perhaps on his roof when he gets back]

[-And because I forgot to any new members of the SOS-Brigade please feel free to use this thing as a guideline for how things go down in the Brigade. In fact I kinda suggest you do.]

( [Written // Private // 70% Unhackable] )

[Voice//Public]

So we're about done with all this murder stuff, right? Jeez, what's the point of this sort of thing if it's not a mystery anyway? Whatever, the point is it's about time this whole business got resolved. [...Sigh. This isn't what he wants to talk about at all. He awkwardly shifts a while-]

This amount of rain is boring too. Didn't we get enough of this sort of thing during the snow in the winter? [Grunt] Whatever, at least we have interior heating and such now it's no longer frigid. [Siiigh and the sound of him standing an taking his journal with him]

It's the start of the new feather cycle, right? Or well, we're getting into it. Alright! For those of you are are intent on living under a rock while you're here, it's about time that you know that I, Haruki Suzumiya, am the overlord of the SOS-Brigade, the greatest club in existence. More details will be sure to come to you in the coming days! Await that with baited breath! [Alright, that's good for now. Excuse him, he's going back to dicking around on his laptop he got from Catherine. The voice cuts off as he starts to work with the keys.]

[Voice // Filtered to Female friends/associates // 75% unhackable]

[Unlike Minato's filters, from which he took inspiration, Haruki's filter is a blanket to all the females he knows. He doesn't recall how many actually gave him white day things, but he might as well return the favors, right? He was going to give whoever he ran into things anyway, but now he decides that a voiced thing might be better to track them down not because he has to be better than Minato, totally]

Oi. Oi, girls. If any of you gave me things for Valentine's, meet me in the Brigade room today. [It' a Sunday, so the Brigade doesn't meet today anyway]

[Voiced // Filtered to Chikane // 90% Unhackable]

...Oi. It's- [...] Let's talk.

[Voiced // Filtered to Guy // 90% Unhackable]

I'm coming to the bar. [He's ready.]

[Voice]

Oi! SOS-Brigade. As some of you who aren't getting lost or being too busy with your new boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever now, we have a new recruit. I expect the full and utter acceptance of Mammon as the newest member of the SOS-Brigade! Is that understood? [...] Good.

[And then he grunts before yelling this next part - not at the journal but up the stairs but also such that the journal can hear it-]

Neku! Shiki! Stop sucking face or whatever and meet me in the living room! It's time for a proper introduction of our maid! [Namely Chikane who he recruited on the 21st but hasn't be assed to inform people until now. Chikane is presumably sitting next to him on the couch or is at least in the general area. Wearing something akin to this as her uniform.

And He's going to be sitting there on the couch, waiting for them. He's got Sekai in hand... Or well on lap. Despite not being fully crown Sekai is the size of an average chicken by now. Haruki is absent-mindly patting the thing on the head. Also, as a result of the before-mentioned Mammon House 10 has a new resident.

Namely in a very large fish bowl in the center of the main dinner table there is now a mid-size Bluegill swimming around. He has been in there since the 19th so this is hardly news to anyone living in the house (probably) but it's worth noting.]

[Voice]

All that snow and not even a single yeti! Not even a yuki-onna?! I mean come on, this is the perfect chance for an interesting experiment and it's not even used?!

Oi! Oi! Did anyone see either of those? Maybe Jack Frost? I mean there was a Jack O'Lantern a while back, so there should be something like this for payback for all this stupid snow...

Rena! Where the hell're you? [A pause, and then someone might hear Shiki whine-yelling something in the background. And then Haruki groans audibly before he tags on, as an afterthought-] Neku, you too. How's things there?

SOS-Brigade, report! Statuses, now!

[and then there's a chirp from Sekai in the background and he closes his journal]

[Ignoring that his original plan was much more complex. Ignoring that someone else is planning something similar. Ignoring that he's still wearing his SOS-S3 Sentai-Santa suit... Haruki has a back-up plan for the holidays that he personally prefers. Thus, he's been preparing all day for something "special" for everyone.

And now he's done. He's also got his gifts here, but he's not going to specify who he wants to show up here other than the SOS-Brigade. Because for now he's created somethign special. He oopens his journal and yells into it at about 7PM:]

OI LUCETI!

The time has come, in celebration of Santa himself giving gifts today and the spirit of this holiday to join in a time of togetherness! SOS-Brigade! Friends of them! Dates of them! Chikane and Shiki and Rosalie and anyone else who wants good food Join us at the SOS-HQ for Luceti's largest hot-pot ever!

[by "Santa" he is of course referencing this, which kinda-sorta renewed his faith in the guy being a pan-dimensional being so he pauses before-]

People other than the SOS-Brigade are required to bring one dish. As it's a hot-pot, it needn't be heated up, just bring something! The SOS-Brigade is required to attend! Come and join us, Luceti!

It's all tonight, for Christmas, obviously!

[And after that he's going to settle in and wait. The Brigade room is as big as ever, of course. The occupancy of this building is surprisingly high when you push his desk into the closet and the tables other than the central one outside. On the central table he's rigged up something weird: There's a huge bowl of his stock for this hot pot in the center and dishes he's pre-brought all over the table. Then there's chairing lining the walls for people to sit at.

As for how it's being heated? Don't ask. It's shady

THIS IS A MASS INTERACTION POST. THREADJACK ALL OVER, EVERYONE IS FREE TO COME, YOU KNOW THE DRILL]

[FOR A NOTE: All of this post relates to THIS entry here. It's time to get the play off the ground. Fu fu fu- Anyway I'm thinking a mass action post would be good for this on Sunday. Any thoughts, anyone? Objections, questions, etc?]

[Voiced]

Alright! Holiday's over, Halloween's over, and we're done with all all that stuff! SOS-Brigade, Luceti, it's time for something important! We're not letting the gusto we've had this last week die down; far from it! The celebration's just getting started!

Listen up, Luceti! It's time for the SOS-Brigade to pave it's name in infamy to future generations across all myriads of worlds! We're going to shake you all to the core! We're going to wow you, dazzle you, and make your weep tears of sorrow and joy within five minutes of each other!

Coming forward at the speed of light and with the strength of an immortal thunderbolt is the SOS-Brigade's presentation of A Journey To the West!

Without any further delays, it will be happening this Sunday! There will be only two showings too, so plan your dates now!

( Not cut ICly, demands for people )

[...A pause, and then he thinks back. He thinks back and then with a much lighter tone-]

Rena, Shiki. We're having a house meeting in the living room. Neku, you're optional.

[..He grumbles there and then, evenly as he considers the meetings since the end of Halloween-]

And oi, where the hell is Shion? And why isn't the Seventh Heaven open yet?! Jeez...

[Voice // Action for his house I guess]

You know, that egg project was pretty stupid. I mean, I guess it was okay and all but who really wants to have a kid here? I mean- [...A grunt, and then he pauses before switching this thing off. The post pauses for a time because he's going to the kitchen. It'll come back on with him chopping up something to make for dinner today. This irksome, because he seems to be staring on the counter-]

I mean, what do we even do with the eggs now? Sekai's just an egg, right? Not like she can be... [Hnn. He grunts there, and then shuts the journal again. This is stupid. He doesn't even want to make an entry like this. The post then is silent for about twenty minutes before it cuts in again, this time with him looking straight into the journal-]

Oi, did anyone else's egg hatch?

[And there seems to be a light "chirp" in the background.

THIS IS A RESULT OF HARUKI'S GOD-POWERS thanks for the reminder to put this Griff.

God powers strike again. Haruki's egg Sekai (which he took home anyway despite the project being over) has hatched. This, however, is because it was always fertile, merely no one was aware of it until just now. Everyone merely assumed it didn't have a chick in there because all the others didn't. Or was it always like that? Reality has bent. If I needed mod permission for this I apologize. I got permission from the Meow-man and Hermione's player. SO YEAH.]

[Voiced]
God this is so boring. What's with this? Jeez.

[Filter // 50% unhackable // for the SOS-Brigade]

Oi! I expect each of you to suggest at least one idea for the next event we should do today. And they better be good, you hear me?! There's no way the SOS-Brigade is going to do half-assed things. After all, the final choice is and always will be with me, the divinely inspired chief of the SOS-Brigade. Any and all of your opinions are just suggestions.

And Rika you better be making headway on that assignment!

[Public again]

[GROAN] This place sucks so much sometimes.

Oi. Mitsuru. Let's go talk; we'll meet at the-

Attention Luceti! Someone re-open the Seventh Heaven or otherwise make a new diner! This place really, really needs one!

[Voice]

Oh, COME ON! What the hell. SOS-Brigade! Report in now! Whose bodies are you all in?

[Grunt, grumble, grumble...]

Hayato, you might still have one favor from the Brigade open Stella too, I guess but right now you better report in to House #10 later today! Got it?! Don't be late or I'll revoke your winnings!

[This is posted maybe seven minutes, tops, after John's little memo for the village. This is rushed and his voice is a little strained. He made the confirmation with John and this-]

Oi! SOS-Brigade! None of you are permitted to go to the front lines of this battle! Anyone who participates in this battle coming up are going to get harsh penalties! You hear me?! You all better not come back injured [And here his voice gets quite for a moment as he adds:] ...or dead... or I'm going to make sure that you serve me endlessly for the next few months!

We're going to be remaining in the village and helping out any people that retreat from the front lines! Get them water and basic help! Got it?! Oi, Caesar! You're manning defenses, right? Pen us down on that one.

God this sucks...

Oi! Housemates! House meeting! I expect all of you to meet me on the roof! Doesn't matter if it's at once or apart! Rena, if you don't come I'll come to you. Bunny, you going to keep staying here or... what?

[Edited after Raine's thread:] Brigade! We won't have a meeting about this, but I expect you all to live up to your jobs assigned here. Also does anyone know where the hell Excel is?! I haven't seen her at all lately.

I officially refuse to believe that any of the Brigade will die. I officially refuse to believe any of them will get lasting injuries. I refuse to believe we'll lose. I'm going to have my match with Ellise properly and I'm going to win. I'll all be fine.
