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]

[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!

People of Luceti! You all like that barbecue, right?! Remember that it was put on by the glorious SOS-Brigade! Don't you forget it! If any of you have experienced strange happens, are experiencing strange happenings, or plan to experience strange happenings in the new future, drop by our office, due to open tomorrow in the center of town!

Also if anyone is interested in joining, pipe up now! Our current members include myself, the leader, god_is_a_dude!

We also have totallynot, prosaical, moon_bunnies, sandwichofdoubt, goggle_syndrome, 2ndunitcaptain, sing_thrush, kenpo_kitty, and last but not least, alchemielemon! However, we are always looking for more minions!

[Filtered to the SOS-Brigade + Hanyuu]

Hey guys! Excellent work on the bonfire, I think that might've just aced our festival back in the fall! We got a smile on everyone's faces and we got to see some really interesting stuff! However, we can't drop the ball now!

I've revised the plays a bit more now, and it's still on! I'll be giving you a revised script in due time but more importantly, it's time for us to set up a new official headquarters! There's a building in the town square that no one's using and we're going to claim that one! We're going to get that done by the end of the day and then...

Well we all deserve our own private party, right?! Failure to report will result in a penalty!

...Also Hanyuu. Wanna join us as an official member?

[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]

[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 // probably insulting to people's ears]
ATTENTION EVERYONE! You all enjoying this festival? You better have, seeing as how my minions put forth so much effort into this! Well, we, the SOS-Brigade, as to not disappoint, do intend to show off everyone with a bang. So we ask you, people of Luceti, to mark off your calenders for tomorrow night, when are final big performance will go down.

They're'll be food, they're'll be a bonfire, they're'll be dance, they're'll be singing, they're'll be music, they're'll be sexy costumes, and most importantly, thanks to our own Leo-kitty, there'll be FIREWORKS!

So if you want to have fun, you better be there

Oh, and that reminds me -- major props to Uriko for doing so damn well in that tournament!

( [For the SOS-Brigade] )

[And now for what Haruki's doing now. Haruki has set up what, to many, will probably be the single most satisfying booth at the entire festival. Namely, he's rigged up a little game-booth in which he's sitting on a chair over a pool of water. It's made of wood and stone, but it's one of those "hit the target" deals. The target is pretty small and pretty distant, but who wouldn't want to try to get this guy wet? The price is odd though. The price says, quite simply--

"SHOW OFF ONE TALENT BEFORE TOSSING" (shown on a sign at the "throwing station" in big red letter)

There's no balls on the counter, only in his hands, and there's a door into the contraption for easy-access. He's got the balls in on. This should be fun for anyone who wants to get a good jab at this guy]
