[Action/Voice]

[Well, as some of you might recall, Haruki Suzumiya has been MIA for the better part of this whole affair so far. But now, finally, he's made a full recovery. A full recovery and... he's gone back to his house to confirm that things have recovered. He's inspecting it inside and out so you might happen across him during that, particularly if you're Neku or Shiki.

But aside from that, after he's half-way through this inspection he flips open the journal and-]

Oi, guys, I'm back. [...It's useless to say "did he miss anything" right? Just glancing at the entries while he was out shows he did] So everyone report in.

[Because we wants to make sure everyone's okay]

[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.]

[Action/Voice]

[Haruki is currently walking around the dining room of House #10. Weird stuff has happened lately, so he's going back to basics. Thing is, he meant to make a voice entry, but stopped before he ever started. As such, the journal records this. He's currently at the make-shift pen thing they have set up for Sekai - his chick - here in the kitchen. He's making sure she's getting fed, so you might hear some chirps here before-]

...This sucks, doesn't it?

[There's a chirp there before he sighs and shrugs This next part is said to the chick and therefore not at the journal, so he might not be that easy to make out everything perfectly] I mean, Tear's up and gotten kidnapped, Shion's MIA, Miu's MIA, Yuzu's... [... He pauses there, and groans] Whatever. That snowboarding thing was pretty fun.... [Well that reminds him-] At least Chikane's taken over the Seventh Heaven. She can cook even if she's a weirdo. I mean who molests someone's win- [...Wait] Dammit. [There's a chirp there! It seems confused, as far as chirps go]

[...Wait. Wait. That just. No. He grunts before looking back at the book and blushing. Hr forgot it was there, briefly, He scrambles get up to the table there and looks at the journal with a taken aback face - his first photo in this entry]

Disregard that! Jeez! [...!! New topic! He brainstorms and!]

So who thinks the Malnosso/Organization have been getting stupidly uninspired lately?! I mean, really, a lot of the more recent experiments have been John's doing or that invasion or other stuff like that. I mean the last experiments where that suggestion thing in later July, that body swap in later September, and the last one before that was all the way back in June, which... [...Which he has a horrible memory during, so he falls silent before sighing. He regains his mojo quickly though]

But still! Hypnosis? Body swap?! What is this, a children's show?! I mean those are so generic and cliche! In the past we got stuff like say people going crazy or... well the point is the Organization are a bunch of ignorant rat-bastards! I mean come on, I could be a better evil overlord than that. I could think of better experiments. Bet all of you could too. [...Actually-]

Like say... like say an experiment where the village disappears! Everyone wakes up naked in a large plot of land and we need to fend for ourselves for a week! It'd be like a survival reality show except not fake! Or maybe an experiment in which half the town becomes telepathic and the other half becomes like [...] Oh, I got! Half the town becomes a telepath so strongly for one other individual they feel everything they do. But they can't eat, so they need to rely on the other person to keep them alive!

Oh like! And experiment in which people's right hand gets replaced with someone else's right hand, and then when you find and get back your own right hand, if you put it back in place you turn into a kappa! Come on, something cool like that!c

And what's more, start talking to us again! I mean you guys just called us rats and I only saw it once, but I know you used to!

C'mon, Organization, throw me a bone here!

[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...

Today's sciences assignment is really stupid. Come on, what's with this junk? I learned this years ago, but I still need to fill all this out. Jeez.

[PLEASE ASSUME THIS IS BOTH AFTER SCHOOL AND AFTER THE SOS-BRIGADE MEETING FOR TODAY IS OVER. He claims he's doing his homework, but he's... really not. The fact of the matter is that well past when the meeting is ended and until he hears back from Guy (and maybe after that finishes, even, coming back) he's sitting in the SOS-Brigade HQ, his back to the front door so he's staring out the big window he had Walter install at the end of the table. His science homework that he was complaining about above is sitting on the table largely finished. His absent-mindedly did it during the Brigade meeting.

Because he's been in a sulk mood all day. Head on the desk in class, not talking to anyone at home before school, and cutting the meeting off early with some bullshit excuse once it got time for the Brigade.]

[Voiced]

So, who wants to help me find something to eat?!

[Voice]

[...This is Haruki doing something like picking up groceries in town. He's got his bags and such. The thing is, there's a problem: He flips open his journal and grunts into it as he sits down on a bench]

Oi, Shiki, Neku. Do we have eggs at home?

[..A pause and then - then there's another movement. He turns around, dropping the bag and- there's some droids. He basically is like oh shit but more than that he's muttering-]

I can beat you. I can beat them. I know I can do this.

[And then he spares no time with trying to get in a punch. Somehow, amazingly, that one seems to fall back a bit there, and his eyes go wide for a bit before the second one knees him in the gut, hard. He's winded there, but he tries to land another punch, before there's a harsh blow to his head. He then weakly yells, as he's being pulled into the distance:]

Usagi's stand-in chief in my absence! [And then, weaker, after another sound of scuffle and another thump coupled with the crack:] I'll check on Rena!

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!

[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]

ALRIGHT! Luceti! The SOS-Brigade is officially seeking all robots! And anyone that can use something that makes non-instrumental music! We need them for a karaoke event! I expect the best!

Oh... and you all told that one chick you want a bit of class, right?! Well the SOS-Brigade is going to put on a play real soon now! We're going to put on a A Journey to the West! We're going to put an effort into that so expect a fantastic show!

...Oh. And any of you that have amazing super-powers or come from cool worlds or something, I wanna talk to you now. Right now! Really, if you have done any cool stuff in your life or are from a cool world I want you to talk to me!

[And then there's a scribble here, before he gets to the next part...]

Anyway, I'm going swimming tomorrow. SOS-Brigade, everyone else! I expect you all to come with me! And all the girls better be wearing bikinis! There's no beach but it's summer and swimming in the summer means bikinis! Got it?!

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY: You all saw Hanyuu's plan, right?! Well we're doing that tonight! No objections! We're all going to catch fireflys and whoever gets the most gets to be Brigade Chief for a day tomorrow! I expect you all to be there! Failure to show up to the SOS-Brigade's Super Firefly Hunt will result in a penalty!

Oi, Shion. How're you settling in and stuff? Winry, you too. Need any more help on that automail stuff?

[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.

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

[Action]

[Haruki is sitting on the far outskirts of town, probably alone. He is trembling, though it is hard to tell if there is more fear or rage in his shaking.

On the far outskirts of the village in the grassy part which is near the forest, for the last few days with help from Taichi and Excellen Haruki has made a huge symbol with chalk and one of those baseball line machines as a message for aliens outside of Luceti. He... knows logically it shouldn't work, but at this point he is so, so hopeful that it will that he can't take it. Because while the first murder was interesting and mysterious, five more and...]

[Voiced]

[His voice, it sounds so broken] SOS-Brigade. Follow that Sigmund guy's lead. Get down to the tunnels. That's an order.

[...As for him, he's going to keep sitting here, wishing, praying for an alien or a hero or something to save them from this]

[Accidental Written]

[This wasn't written in the journal, but rather on a piece of paper that Haruki then stuck in his journal in frustration. Because of this, before he properly shut it the journal took a "photo" of the paper the same way that it is supposed to take photos of people's faces while making entries. Thus while shadows cover some of it, there is an incomplete passage which can be read:]

-- And here Cloud hesitated. This was, after all, not what he had intended. He had merely intended to see how the woman in front of him was doing. Planning to... He wasn't sure anymore. He only saw one thing in front of him at that was the blonde woman in front of him. The beautiful blonde woman who was stepping out of the shower... naked. This woman who he knew wasn't supposed to, wasn't--

Time seemed to be standing still as Cloud stared at Stella's exposed chest. Senel was kid-- oh right that was is. That was way he had come. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, so with a furious blush he looked away. Stella to her credit didn't say anything. However...

[Anything after this is heavily crossed out because he wasn't satisfied with it and then there is a note in the margins that says "She wouldn't cheat."]

[Action]

[Haruki shut his journal with a snort. He had been looking at old entries of Cloud and Stella to help with his writing, but he just wasn't feeling it. Not to mention that his current work was too OOC to really be either of them. This sucked. This place was SO BORING. He sighed and flopped onto the main table of House #10, melancholy and thinking too much and bored. He hated it here, so much.

Anyone in House #10 (Kyonko, Rena, Hanyuu) or anyone stopping by there feel free to poke him]

[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]
