[It's been more than long enough. Haruki, without so much a sigh and trying to keep his voice flat as possible takes up the mantle of saying something he hoped he wouldn't have to say ever during his time here. Namely:]

Usagi, you've got a promotion. You're Vice-Chief now. [READ: Rena is no longer here. He's trying to keep the anger and hurt out of his voice... he's doing an okay job] Taichi, you're Deputy Vice-Chief now.

[And then he trails off before, well, he should clear up two more things, right? Well then, let's get the first one out of the way]

Keiichi, Naoki, Alphonse, Vash, [...He can't go with Mikage so-] Uriko. All of you guys report in, I've got special objectives for you. Leon, I figured out where to put the teleporter.

[But all that is specific to the SOS-Brigade, he's got something more public in mind, even if none of that was filtered. But before that...]

[Filtered from Sanji // 85% Unhackable]

[A clearing of his thought before] Oi! Oi! Anyone who is listening to this, tell me about the sorts of foods you made back home, particularly the ones that you can't make as easily here and as a result you miss! I'm looking for variety, variety, so preferably people not from some boring place like Earth ought to answer this! Or if you're from Earth, at least be from a different century than the 21st!

[Voice]

Attention! To those it may concern, you should know that Tanabata is rapidly approaching us! [...The summer really came on him quick. His birthday is too, though only a handful of people will know that his 18th birthday will be on July 31st. He grunts and decides not to dwell on that subject too much.] Brigade, for those of you who aren't senior members, you will be receiving instructions on the proper way to submit your wishes within the next few days, and as such, failure to attend meetings will result in a harsh penalty!

[...And then a sigh before he runs a hand though his hair. He ought to say more, right? But in the light of the current climate which seems to be going on... Well, whatever. Might as well take up another track-]

Oiii! Did anyone plan to take up the mantle of the Seventh Heaven? It's just wrong for a population this big to not have a diner! [...Ignoring the existence of Azzip, that is.]

Also, Leon, status report! I expect you to have made some serious progress by now! And whoever that was who wanted to turn the springs into a bath house, I wanna hear from you too!

[Voice]

[This post is done on the fly, clearly, as he's setting out to do something else. Accompanied with his voice is the sounds of him putting on boots and throwing some stuff into a backpack]

Oi! SOS-Brigade, assuming you didn't hear them or missed their introductions at the meetings, as a result of our superior efforts of recruitment we have taken in three new members: Garnet - that little girl, Dizzy - that absent-minded looking girl, and of course Hinata - that new moe girl. [Who he has yet to torment, him. After he says Hinata's name he considers and-] Al, she might force you our of a job, actually.

[FOR THE RECORD: If your character wanted in but didn't talk to him, they aren't considered on the roster even if they have been walking in on meetings or whatever. If you want to arrange them having talked with him or talking to him now or something, that's fine. If they have been sitting in without talking to him alone that's fine too, just give me a heads-up here or in a PM or something please.]

That said, he next thing we should do is promote Miu's status; few people even know she's an idol. What kinda crap manager does she have, anyway?

[Well, whatever. Okay, got this on, and this. There's a dark mutter of something like "No one gave you permission to leave, Naoki" but he rolls with it]

Shiki, Neku, Rena, Chikane - I won't be back for dinner probably, so fend for yourselves and/or make Chikane or Rena do it. They can handle it.

[...Oh right-] Oh, right. Adell, Luka, I'm going to be meeting the two of you somewhere tonight. Ping in to figure out where.

[There's then some dark mutter which wounds suspiciously like "she better be up" because I mean, come on he waited until noon. He stuffs his journal in the bag after that and heads off to Winry's house first. It's time for Winry Day]

...Arthur, huh? And Tear. [A pause and then he grunts before-] This is stupid. This is so stupid. Tch. Damn aliens.

[A pause and then he brushes something. There's a chirp from Sekai before he hisses] This is starin' to piss me off. Leave my Brigade alone, dammit!

[And then he... punches a wall. And then the audio cuts off]

[Voiced // Public]

[...Before the audio cuts back in for this] Oi! SOS-Brigade! I've been lax with you guys coming for meetings, but no more! The Brigade exists for the sole purpose of providing [-me-] Luceti with a valid insight in the mysteries of this world! And along with that, an interesting life! But you all have been lax! Ignoring meetings, skipping out early! I've had it with this blatant insubordination!

As such, members of the SOS-Brigade, it is time for you to accept your divine punishment! A penalty! [He slams a fist down and then makes his point all the more with-] Capture the flag! SOS Capture the Flag! We will be playing SOS-Flag in two days time! Forty-eight hours! You must assemble whatever extra members of your team before that time! Assemble extra-Brigade members to assist you in ensuring victory!

Also, Kaito, you're in this too! You better perform the best you can for your master!

The base-teams are as follows; be sure to listen carefully!

Team Soryu
*Rena
*Tai
*Yoohoo
*Yuzuriha
*Kyon

Team Ayanami
*Usagi
*Al
*Uriko
*Rika

Team Inazuna

*Shinpachi

[Voice again]

Base teams, base teams! You better collect more members if you want to win SOS-Flag, particularly with I, Haruki Suzumiya, as the infallible and superior referee! You have two days; details will come at that time!

[A pause and then he shuts his book. He thinks this cuts off but it actually records a little more:] ...February, huh? Valentines is coming up then...

[Voiced]
[To be honest... Haruki still isn't 100% better. He's still not cool with Rena yet, not to mention anyone he happened to piss off when he was sulking. But there's stuff to be done; it's Christmas after all. And thus, he coughs before starting this awkwardly with-]

You know, plenty of you folks lack dates for Christmas, don't you? Huh... Well, whatever.

[A pause, and then he continues without abandon to the next part-] Christmas is a vasly inferior holiday to the likes of Tanabata or even Obon, but so long as there is something to celebrate, we might as well roll with it, right?! I mean, I never knew the Christian story behind it in detail, but that makes it so much more interesting. A mystery, even! How could those guys all see starts to lead them to a baby? A virgin that got knocked up? Makes me wish that someone from that time had showed up here at some point... [...A pause, annd then a sigh-] Well, whatever.

More importantly... getting ready for New Years after that. And anything the Organization or John does by way of a "celebration" for Christmas. You guys ever noticed they like American holidays?

[Voiced // Filtered to SOS-Brigade]

Alright SOS-Brigade! This Christmas we're going with something special and more awesome than anything ever seen for any Christmas since the birth of that Jesus guy! We're going to be forming a superior crack-team of super sentai Santas! We're going to be the SOS-S3! And with out might, we're going to spread holiday cheer and more importantly needed positive sentiment around the village.

Our mission will be to provide gifts to people, assist people who look like losers, and set people up on blind-dates. Your first objective will be met by the 20th of December. You will recruit as many people as you can to sign up for a mass blind date. A free gift! What's more, you will do this dressed as a SOS-S3-Santa suit which will be supplied for you in the next three days.

Whoever amasses the most names will be the victor of round one of this competition! Whoever wins the best two out of three rounds will be the Brigade Chief for the week following the first of January! Your roles will be as follows:

( assigned roles )
Are your orders understood, my SOS-S3?!

Now, Elf Support! You will be given the labor of amassing as many potential gifts as you can. You will be hording them in the back room of the SOS-Brigade HQ. Vice-Chief Rena will be given a temporary promotion to Elf Commander Rena, and she will be in charge of this gift hording! You will raid the bazaars, you will make new gifts, and you will even steal if you have to, but I expect that back room filled to brim by the time you get further orders!

Are we clear?!

[Voiced // Filtered to Shiki]

Shiki, I got an important job for you.

[Also, relationship post which I don't think I forgot anyone on but it's possible I did. Yerp. Comment if I did. ASIDE FROM THIS someone did offer to join the SOS-Brigade but the thread is still ongoing. If they end up getting recruited I'll be editing them into this post, and feel free to assume they had always been in this post. So... yeah...]

[Action]

[A little less than half of his Brigade opted to try to go home last week. About the same amount are missing due to kidnappings or whatever. Neku is missing from his house. Mikuru has arrived, reminding him was Kyon suggested a while ago, that they aren't his. And what's more... what's more, it's been a long time since he's really thought about her. And now just her, about all the others too. Zell... Rue... Ritsu-kitty... Osaka, Killua, and Misa. Mai and Excellen... Kotori...

Ahiru...

Would Ahiru have betrayed him the same way that Rena did> Probably. In those days, all anyone wanted was to go back. It felt like he was the only one in this whole damned world which appreciated this place for what it was.

Haruki Suzumiya is depressed, to put it in layman's terms.

And as such, he's currently moping around somewhere. Well, sulking more like it. But where to do it? All Passions is out, he doesn't want to deal with Shiki or Rosalie or anyone else that lurks around there like like Minato. The roof is out because it's too damned cold. His room is out because Rena is probably still lurking around the house. Good Spirits is out because damned if he wants to listen to Guy right now. Thus, where does he go?

A place where he's sure people have better things to do than to talk to him and where the only employ he knows is slightly less than a real person. Haruki is sitting in the far corner of Seventh Heaven. He's not even at a table, really, just up against one of the walls. As he's thinking about his old Brigaders, he's looking at "pictures" he had taken of them using the journal back when they were here. And then he flips to...

Itsuki Koizumi.

He's reminded of the situation with Kyon and Mikuru somehow, so he sets the pile down, scoffing to himself. It's then that he flips open his journal and pens the written part up below. After that, he flips to the back of the journal and takes out an entirely different set of "photos" - a small handful of Kyonko. It's been too long-]

Dammit.

[Naturally, if you happen to be in Seventh Heaven and spot him, you can feel free to try to bug him]

[Written]

Any of you guys that are around, I need you to report in now. [...He knows that some of these might not answer, but even so, he is still going to say it. Not asking for them makes it seem like they really are gone. Gone the same way Shion is...] And you better be snappy about it. I've been lax about Brigade meetings, but I expect full attendance tomorrow. Just... reply here.

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!

[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!

Attention people of Luceti! Some of of you might have seen our new advertising doll [not linked IC-ly] and with that might have expressed and interest in us, the infamous SOS-Brigade! In joining our ranks! Well, this is your chance! Speak up, and join our order!

We're the Spreading Excitement all Over the World with Haruki Suzumiya Brigade! The best club in Luceti or anywhere else for that matter!

...You know the more I think of it... not a lot of you are from Earth, are you? So not a lot of you know about stuff we all learned in history class. Like World War II or something. ...Weird

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!

Wait... that reminds me... Emil! Patchouli! As the popular vote winners, you two are to go on a date! Help us figure out a date that works for both of you!

[OOC: ALSO THIS IS QUITE IMPORTANT for Yuzuriha, Shion, and Yuzu your extended Brigade expectations ever has been added HERE. Plese tell me if you agree]

[Voice // Written (the list) // Action potentially]

SOS-Brigade, full roll-call! If you don't answer now unless I saw you earlier today you're going to get a penalty! And I expect you all to be keeping up our promise to assist those that were injured or retreated! To do less than that would besmirch the name of the SOS-BRigade!

[NOTE TO YUZURIHA: This is assuming we went with the idea of Haruki picking her up post-injury. Or Walter. One of them. In which case she'd be at House 38 or something. If this isn't cool I can edit this]

Also! Some surprisingly big props for Walter!

Aside from that, anyone who is hungry after the fighting and wants a cupcake - the best cupcakes ever take that Ellise - and rice as well as some meat like at that old BBQ, I've set up a fire-pit outside of House #10! Be sure to enjoy the cupcakes and be ready to cast a vote on them later! There will be a test on this!

ALRIGHT LUCETI! The contest results are in; all the judges votes are counted and the popular vote tallies are in! Thus, we have two winners in each bracket!

( Judge's results )

Oi, SOS-Brigade. What the hell're you doing losing like that? Al! You're going to have a harsh penalty! You too, Shion! Jeez. You were supposed to win this whole thing! I expected better from you people.

As such, the winners of the Judge's scores and therefore the titles of Miss and "Miss" Luceti go to Hayato Gokudera and Stella Coolidge! Congrats! You guys will be getting one free favor each from the SOS-Brigade as well as a box of cupcakes! The runners up (Aerith and Tifa in the Miss bracket; Emil and Faize in the "Miss" bracket) will get a consolation prize: one cupcake each.

Now, as to the popular vote our two winners are unsurprisingly Emil Castagnier and surprisingly Patchouli Knowledge! You guys win the fabulous prize of one date run by and sponsored by the SOS-Brigade!

...Dammit, Tai. That's- Oi. Anyone seen Shiki around?

[For the record Shiki has officially been Sho-napped as of last night. No one should be aware of this yet so you won't have seen her]

( [Voiced // Private to Guy // 50% Hackable to anyone else // Hack this for great justice] )

[And then grunt. He flicks things again and it cuts off before the next part comes on like fifteen minutes later:]

[Voiced // Public]

Oi! Luceti! The SOS-Brigade will officially be holding a Miss and "Miss" Luceti contest! All girls are free to enter as chicks and all guys are free to enter as trannies! Everyone sign up and everyone sign up your friends too! [Yes that is an order and he intends this] Sign-ups are officially outside of House #10 and we'll be holding it tomorrow afternoon outside the SOS-Brigade HQ! Everyone sign up!

[Action]

[And then, true to his word, Haruki is outside his house at a make-shift desk thing labeled "SIGN UP HERE." Curiously, he is still on the tail-end of a few dares. Most notably, he is now in a maid costume: but this one fits him well. It's the one Shiki made for him for the play. He's there waiting for people to sign up. Also feel free to take the sign as a written command]

[Voiced]

...Oi, any of Bunny's friends. Rena, porcupine, Shiki you too if you guys didn't notice yet. Usagi Tsukino's staying over at my place for a few days. If she's staying here she probably doesn't want to be bugged but whatever.

You know maybe I should hit up those other ones again... Celes and the othe- oh! Rika! Let's go out and get some lunch later today! You don't got any notable lines anyway so you don't need to practice like the rest of the Brigade, so let's go out this afternoon! Oh and Mitsuru when is my stage gunna be done?

[...Pause, grunt] Oi! Rikku! Now's long enough! Let's make good on out bet! Meet me outside House #10. I'll be waiting this morning to make it snappy!

[Action]

[And true to his word, Haruki has kidnapped Shiki's usual spot of late. Namely, he's going to be on the porch of House #10 all morning reading a book or something. Anyone is free to run into him for whatever reason; housemates, Brigaders, random other people walking down the street... go for it.]

Well, as expected, I have to say that the lake party was an unqualified success! Everyone had a blast and had important happenings and meetings, right?! You all tried Arthur's sandwiches too right? I mean those things were delicious and as ordered he did bring them in bulk. The iced tea was good too.

You all can expect more excellent showings from the SOS-Brigade! Our upcoming play! That karaoke party! (with props to Rosalie for the idea) Perhaps even a beauty contest! After all, there's a lot of attractive people here and some excellent clothes-makers!

Anyway, SOS-Brigade! You'll be getting the full details and script at the meeting today, but so everyone else knows: as mentioned previously, the SOS-Brigade is putting on a production of A Journey to the West whenever Mitsuru gets that stage and crew set up! I expect the best out of all the people working in tandem with us, but for now these are the roles in question in the finalized form!:
( Roles in question )

Which reminds me... SOS-Brigade! I expect you all to give a proper welcome to our two newest members today: Shion and Yuzu-2! Excel, bring something to celebrate with. I expect a cake or something. Oh, and Kaito! SOS-Brigade, we now have our own vocaloid! Kaito, I expect you to report in too!

-Speaking of; Shiki, were the hell are you? I haven't seen you all day?

[Anyway, SOS-Brigade members new and old I suggest you read or re-read this, as I've updated it. Rika and Hanyuu in particular now have their expectations paragraphs up, so you might wanna see it. Also for everyone, I've finally finished updating his relationships post, but if I missed your character THERE ARE SIXTY-THREE ON THERE SHIT feel free to give me heads-up]

[Voiced]

...Y'know, there's been a lot of kidnappings lately, hasn't there? I mean there's been bigger drop-offs before and such, but in the last week or two there's been a lot. Thing is, I mean I hadn't been here all that long last summer but I seem to remember something similar happening last summer. I don't think we had a calender though so I'm not sure if it's the exact same time or anything.

...Whatever. Stupid aliens.

[Pause, grunt, and then some clothes rustling] Doesn't look like rain today.... Oi! Rena! Shiki! Porcupine! Any and all members of the SOS-Brigade! Summer's no good if you don't enjoy it properly, so in the absence of a public pool we're going swimming at the main lake! [Another pause, and then a sigh] When it warms up or something. It's still muddy-looking outside.

...Jeez. [And then there's the sound of some clothes rustling again before he stands up and clicks this thing off]

[Voice]

[...There's a small awkward cough, and then...] Oi! SOS-Brigade! We've been slacking off for way too long, it's time to get back for regular meetings! I expect all of you to report to the clubroom today because it's going to be a birthday celebration for Bunny, one of our senior members! I expect all of you to get her a gift and I expect all of you to bring some kinda dish! We're going to make this the biggest celebration she's ever had, as is only fitting of Luceti's infamous SOS-Brigade!

Also, for all those of you who are still in the dark-ages: The SOS-Brigade the greatest club ever invented, made to seek out the mysteries of this world and spread fun to everyone here who is in desperate need of it! What with all the kidnappings lately, that really needs to happen soon, so everyone look forward to our next event!

...Jeez it's hot today. Oi! Walter! You finish that window yet? Better have... Oh and Shiki? Where the hell are you?! Jeez... Didn't come home last night and it's only your first week here?

[Written]

And then for those of you that are like "OH I WANT TO JOIN HOW CAN I?" It's simple! Just talk to me, the divinely-inspired infamous overlord of the SOS-Brigade, Haruki Suzumiya! As for everyone else in the BRigade? This is our current roster:

Haruki: Untouchable, unquestioned Chief

Rena: Honorary vice-chief

Bunny: Senior member/Brigade-nurse
Al: Senior member/Brigade-trap
Excel: Senior member/Brigade-eyecandy
Uriko: Senior member/Brigade-kickass

Tai: Noteworthy member
McKura: Senior-citizen member
Arthur: British member

Hanyuu: Brigade member
Rika: Brigade member
Yuzuriha: Brigade member

Also at this party I expect everyone to welcome Rika and Hanyuu! I would say Yuzuriha but... After all, they're our newest members! I also expect you all to congrat Rena for her promotion! [Ignoring that this Rena is a new recruit. Older members probably recall the previous Rena]

Over and out!

[Written]

[Haruki is writing this with red ink. He got the idea from Tear, but it was mostly for kicks. And because red is a nice manly color and he's in high spirits] That was awesome! I mean come on, a giant alien squid?! It was even named C'Thun, I heard him say it to someone! C-freaking-Thun! How awesome is that, I mean really?! I bet everyone interacted with the thing, right?! Tell me stories guys, did you see anything? That was pretty much the coolest thing ever.

Jessie, did you see it?!

[A pause, complete with him tapping his pen on the paper, making some red dots on there. And then there's a squiggle before he continues with:]

Alright, SOS-Brigade, head-count time! I want to know who's out and about and everything. You better all still be here, you better I'll be expecting all of the following to reply, and I'll be marking you off when you do!

• Bunny
• Arthur
• Tai
• McKura
• Al
• Hanyuu
• Uriko
• Excel
• Mai
• Kyonko

Oh, and Yuzuriha. If you still want in, next meeting is tomorrow at noon. Hear that Brigaders?! Tomorrow at noon, you better all show up unless you got a good excuse. Bunny's going to be bringing calamari as a penalty! So expect some good food too! We'll be making plans for what to do from here, like handling that play then too.

[Filtered to Guy // Unhackable]

...Oi, I'm coming back to your bar. Be there.

[Voiced]

ALRIGHT LUCETI!


A lot of you probably heard the suggest of my Brigade member, Bunny, for a full-on village-wide barbeque! Well I'm telling you all right now that this idea, property of the SOS-Brigade, is on! All members of the SOS-Brigade, you can ignore that script for now, and I want you on various tasks! What we're gunna do is make the biggest bonfire ever in that lot a little outside House sixteen! Everyone in the village will be invited and I expect this thing ready to go by Friday!

Excel, you keep advertising this! I've got new outfits at the house!

Hanyuu, Kyonko, and Bunny! You three girls are on food detail! Figure out what we're gonna cook and help us cook it!

Mai, Uriko, Arthur, and Tai! You guys collect us firewood. We're going to need a ton of it.

Al, McKura! You're with me. We're gunna dig the pit and get the stones and stuff ready to put on the best damn show ever.

And Oi! Whoever was organizing that band a while ago, come need my now please!

Whoever else wants to help with this, please step forward! We're going to make this a celebration to remember!

[For the record, House 16 is Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Rosalie Hale's place. They're free to protest but I doubt you can stop him]

Brigade! You all got the scripts, right? You better have them memorized by the end of this week! No excuses 'cept for Bunny. Right.

[And he doesn't call for a meeting. The first sign that something is really stupidly off]

Oi, did everyone get Rohan's manga? It's got way too many flashbacks but it's not bad, given that it's based on a true story. Those types of plots always suck.

[Private // 50% Unhackable to the Brigade // Unhackable to other people]

...Dammit. This is stupid. This is stupid. This is stupid

[Written]

Members of the Brigade: Meetings are off for the next week, but I expect you all to drop by to get the finalized script and to try on costumes sometime this week. No excuses.

Al... just get over here.

...Haruhi. You doin' okay? I'm not dead or anything, so--

Also, Guy -- that's the guy named Guy Cecil -- we need to talk.

[Action]

[Guess who busted into Leon's old place this morning?! He did! And he found the letter for Guy after ripping the place apart -- as well as a lot of pieces of his translated report and a lot of other notes. As well as most of the equipment Leon had been given by him: but no Leon and no signs of any struggle. This on top of Usagi being abducted and Ahiru being MIA has put him in a terrible and very odd mood. He hates these damned aliens.

Haruki being Haruki, this is going to show a lot as he stomps into the house which is now his and Kyonko's (and maybe Hanyuu by now) so either of them is free to note this. Or anyone who ran into him on the way back from Leon's]

[Voiced]
Oi, McKura! Hanyuu too, 'cus I think you're back sorry I haven't visited, busy... You're gunna help me out on a project of mine, got it?! And no complaints! Good! I'll get your plot overviews to you today!

...Anyone seen Leon around? I know he hides a lot but jeez now he's gone missing or something when I told him we were gunna hang out. He's got two days to be seen and/or respond to this before I bust down his door. Alright?

Oh and if anyone sees a girl named "Haruhi Suzumiya" she's some slider whose taken my form but made it female; ignore her. But don't hurt her or anything; jeez.

( [For Uriko, Usagi, Alphonse, Ahiru, Taichi, Excellen, Zell, Kyonko, Shinpachi and Hanyuu] )

[...Please forgive me, because my knowledge of A Journey To the West, despite actually owning (translated) versions of the novel/poem thing itself at my house is superficial at best and in order to put on a play he's putting on an incredibly abridged version. Please note I'm also using the Japanese readings of the names as opposed to the Chinese versions because #1 they look more sensible to all of us and #2 to make a bad Saiyuki-based joke. This is the same reason Kougaiji is even included in this. Gyumoah too. So yeah, my apologies to anyone who is actually familiar with the original work as a disclaimer. This thing won't be much like it at all, lol. Much like Saiyuki it'll have a superficial resemblance as well as namejacking
