...Hey, anyone seen Hanyuu? She up'n never got over to my place. Geezer, check the closets at your place. And Granny's missing too... Shitshitshit AND EVERYONE BETTER STILL BE LOOKING FOR RIKA, RIGHT? Small, blue-ish hair, female. She's Hanyuu's cousin and there's no way we're gunna let her up'n vanish.

...Right. And if any of you see a slightly boring looking girl with a long pigtail, she's mine, got it? That goes double for you, Phones. And this Tamaki guy.

[There's the sound of some scribbling (he's doing some make-up homework) before a loud groan and then--]

I'm so bored. Damn aliens, damn school. This place sucks...

I'm, so bored...

Oi! Anyone who can decode these file-things everyone is talking about, step forward. I need someone to decode my, Haruki Suzumiya's, file. And Leon if you can do it you better do it.

[And then he goes to sulk around the house and/or force Kyonko to make him a sandwich]

[Edit; Filtered to Musette]

I still haven't found her, and that guy didn't know she was even missing.

REMEMBER EVERYONE: The long-awaited Luceti Fall Festival starts tomorrow!

This festival is brought to you by the world-famous and amazing SOS-Brigade, will some assistance by associated other people. Please direct any and all praise you might have for the festivities to me, Haruki Suzumiya (Ultra-Planner of this festival). If you are intending to run a booth or an act or something, please also report to me (Haruki Suzumiya). If you have any complaints about the festivities, please direct it to my henchwoman/secretary, Kyonko.

I expect this to be a bananza, and I hope all of you folks feel you lives get that much more interesting!

---Which reminds me! The fighting thing is cool and all even if the host is a little dull and it needs some announcers, but surely some of you have some cool superpowers you can show off aside from stuff you use to beat each other up, right?! Therefor, I propose that we run a talent show to showcase some of these super-cool powers and maybe impress a few people. It would certainly make things a little more interesting before we're all stuck at that gray-haired lady's school in a week, right?!

[Filtered to the SOS-Brigade]
Oi, members that don't have any assigned tasks currently, report in for an assignment. Members that do have assigned tasks, report in on the status of your job. If you jobs' complete, be prepared to take another job.

Oi, everyone!

As my minion just made clear, the SOS-Brigade will soon be giving you a Fall festival, but what good's a party if you don't all participate?! We might be bringing you the best time you'll ever have in Luceti, but even the divinely inspired SOS-Brigade can't make things fun for people who just want to be grouches and brood and generally be boring and stuff.

THAT SAID-- We need more people cooking stuff. I mean right now we got everyone counting on Kotori and Granny, but that's just lame. So any of you with culinary skill or just wanting to bring in some food, you better do that! I expect only the best!

I also expect you to be leading the dance afterwards, Ahiru.

Oh, and thanks a lot to the skeleton guy. Bastard... thinks he can steal our thunder... we'll show him! This festival will be ten times better than that Halloween bash! Oi, Bunny's boyfriend, Leo-Kitty! You guys helped me set up some light earlier, but we got some more to set up. And Leo-kitty, did you do anything about finding fireworks yet?

...Oh, that reminds me. School. It's so boring, I can't believe someone wants us to go to school here... Why on earth was that test so damn easy?

Oh, and Uriko, Excel, report in! I've got something special for you two.

[...For the record, the test wasn't easy at all; Haruki just happens to be reall intelligent even if he doesn't always seem it. If any of your characters took the test and thought it was easy or hard or whatever, feel free to respond to this.

Also, you did not just see that tagfail.]

Okay Brigaders, we're moving out to the lake today! Failure to report as ordered will result in a penalty! So Osaka, Excel, Leo-Kitty (assuming you're not dead or something), Ahiru, Killua, Rena, Bunny, and Naoya, you're all expected to come!

Rue, you're less expected, but if you know what's good for you, you'll show up too.

Bunny, bring the robot-arm with you. If you need help lugging it, then call out Killua 'cus he's probably strong.

Ahiru, did you talk to your boyfriend about it yet?

Excel, bring all the snacks and stuff.

Oh and Naoya! You are expected to show despite being a new member! This is your chance to meet the rest of the Brigade, so failure to come will result in a harsh penalty!

Are your order understood?! Good. Then let's get moving!

...Oh, right. Has anyone seen a red-headed assassin with a girl's name and an eyepatch? I've not seen him the last few days...

[ OOC: Okay guyz, it's finally time for the lake retreat. I personally think some log or action thread with various interactions at it might be fun, but if you're busy or whatever we could assume it too? Basically, Haruki's forcing everyone in the Brigade to show up for some combination of a swimming and camping trip, but towards the end of it he's going to have everyone go hunt Yuffie. So uh, thoughts?

Oh, and my OOC apologies to Noaya's player. After talking with him, Haruki officially considered Noaya to be 'his' Feel free to ICly protest or whatever. ]

[Haruki's not officially out of the clinic and back at House #10 now. Thanks to Usagi's help, he can speak again, and he took the liberty of taking back to the house whatever Kyonko or the others might've taken to the clinic with him too. His right hand is still busted, obviously, as there are still bandages on his head, but his eyes are alight and he can walk properly again. Please note that (most likely due to minor brain damage) his voice is still a little slurred even here]

[Voiced]

Attention members of the SOS-Brigade!! I have returned back to our home base following my unfortunate abduction by our local aliens and my recovery from their actions! As such, this is your last chance to give me a suitable recovery gift, seeing as how my right hand is still busted up a bit. Failure to bring me a gift now will result in a penalty, so don't you dare forget it!

And geez, Yuki's gone... that's unfortunate. Alright! Listen up guys/girls/people/whatever of Luceti! The SOS-Brigade is recruiting again in light of recent developments! This could be your chance to join the glorious and divinely empowered club which is only growing more mighty by the day! Report to me here now, and later at House #10!

And for the rest of you, I expect some full reports! Ahiru, your boyfriend back yet? Excel, you still got everything except for the food set for the retreat? Ritsu-Kitty, you still alive?

Same for you, Leo-Kitty!

[Written]

Hey, I think it was Sheena and Excel! I owe both of you some favor, so make note of that! I'll repay that dept to Sheena, but in your case, Excel, you get one free-pass from a penalty. I'll make a pass, and if you stop by you both can pick those up.

I'm currently saying at the clinic for recovery of wounds from my stay with the aliens! Anyway... All members of the SOS-Brigade, you're hereby required to bring a get-well gift to me, like Kyonko said. Failure to do so will result in a penalty. Naturally, we'll be delaying the retreat a bit until I've recovered.

Rena! Bring a board game over here or something. I'm so bored.

Bunny, don't you work here or something?! Sheesh, shouldn't you come check in on me? I need to talk to someone other than her

Oh, and Ahiru, err... how're you holding up?

[For Kyonko // 80% Hackable]

That soup wasn't bad. Now, if I could've just moved my jaw properly as exposed to you needing to feed me. I need to get ambidextrous faster.

[Voice Post]
That darkness thing lasted way too long, and had the worst possible timing. Seriously, aliens, couldn't you at least be remotely considerate? Jeez.

Members of the SOS-Brigade, report back in now! We had a set-back, but the lake retreat is still on. Provided you guys aren't being bored and useless, we'll go going out in a few days now. And after that, we need to get to work right away on that festival thing before the aliens decide they need to up and get in the way... again.

That reminds me! If anyone sees some weird ghost-girl thing who seems to think that murder is cool and looks sort of like Sadako, don't be too worried or anything. She might be a malignant spirit, but she's my maid -- which reminds me, if anyone knows how you can force her into a more proper outfit for that, or for that matter knows where one can find a suitably eerie maid outfit for her, please come forward!

EDIT: ( [Private to 'Misa' // 50% Unhackable] )

Okay Brigade members! We're going to leave for our retreat tomorrow at high noon. Don't be late or you can expect a terrible penalty! Excel, you better have all the supplies in place, and everyone else better have gotten the other items I told you to get... which means you better have carried out your penalty, Bunny.

So Ritsu-Kitty, what's the story with your guardian? Same goes to you, Rue.

Oh... and Kyonko, seeing as how Koizumi decided to disappear or something, I probably won't be back for an hour or three. Need to go find that path myself...

( [For the SOS-Brigade // 50% Unhackable] )

[Written]

And jeez, geezer Senel! Is that hair getting to your head and making you senile or something? I asked you a question before. It's a simple one too. Are you going to teach me how to fight properly yet or not?! The least you could do is give an answer!

Oh... and is anyone familiar with this 'Filial Magic' stuff? I've been trying to work it out, but someone showing me the theory behind it would mean I'll learn it that much faster! I'd really appreciate the assistance!

Also, citizens of Luceti, expect something amazing soon!

Oh, right...

That weather was really strange. Clearly, the Malnosso... or whatever it is these aliens call themselves -- 'Malnosso' sounds like a Spainish word or something... -- have control over the weather, and decided to make for a really weird set of days. Though the sound of that kid was--

Ge- Senel, have you decided if you're going to teach me how to fight yet?!

Ahiru, we need to run over some plans, I especially need you to report! Rena wants to request something, and we need to set up this festival thing while the weather's good to set it up! Delays will no longer be tolerated! And geez, Kyonko, where'd you run off to now?

All members of the SOS-Brigade who aren't being useless and/or serving a small demon with blue hair, report now please! Failure to do so will result in a penalty! [And there's a little drawing of a man waving a fist here]

[Voiced]

The following people are now property of the SOS-Brigade according to the list given to me by Koizumi, and as such, you are hereby ordered to report to House #10! This is officially our first meeting, and you have all of thirty gracious minutes to show up! Remember that the last one to arrive gets penalty! Jeez Kyonko, where are you?

Excel, Koizumi, Rue, Rikku, Kotori, Leo-Kitty, Bunny, Rena, Ritsu-Kitty, and of course my vice-chief Ahiru! Report here immediately! Oh, and you too Kyonko. Obviously.

[ooc: For the record... if you talked with Itsuki, he added you to the list. This is how Ritsuka and Rikku were added. Feel free to protest but uh... it's Haruki.]

[Voice Post]

ATTENTION PEOPLE, THINGS, ROBOTS, ALIENS, MONSTERS, AND GENERALLY EVERYONE IN LUCETI!!

My name is Haruki Suzumiya, and I am hereby announcing the creation of the Luceti-branche of the glorious SOS-Brigade! Please sign up in a timely order and bring your applications to House #10 as per the map which you all know.

But yes, I've been combing this network, and I know a lot about a lot of you guys by now! I'd like to meet you all and hear your stories. I'm sure a lot of you have lead really strange an interesting lives! I think it would be awesome to hear about them. Please step forward now!

Oh, and Koizumi the guy one. You're in charge of keeping track of the applications for the brigade. Yes, I know you're there, and don't think you can avoid work, like I know Kyonko will try to. Though if you're anything like the Koizumi back home I'm sure you won't disappoint me!

...If any of you happen to see a flat girl with a long brown pigtail lounging around looking bored, that's Kyonko. She's my henchman, so don't think you can claim her.
