[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]

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.]

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO IS IMPORTANT OR COOL IN LUCETI!

We, the SOS-Brigade, will be putting out your coming Fall Festival for your entertainment, with the help of some guy named Aang, an idiot named Neku, and two Irish people who are posting to being Japanese historical figures (McKura and some useless guy named Tetsu)! We ask you all to cheer up, keep out of our way, and await our heads-up on the final date of our festival! We also ask any and all people who are able or willing to be acts in this festival to step forth now!

Thank you for your attention, but I know what some of you may be thinking: 'What is the SOS-Brigade? I mean I've of it being the most amazing thing ever, and I know this to be true, what what exactly is it? Who's a part of it other than that handsome and charismatic lead of theirs that I know about? How can I join?' Well today is your lucky day, because this is what the SOS-Brigade is all about!

Spreading Excitement all Over the World with Haruki Suzumiya Brigade
Or SOS-Brigade for short.
( Cut for tl;dr )

I'm glad that's understood! Now, SOS-Brigade, report in now for your specific tasks for the upcoming festival; failure to do so will result in a harsh penalty! Additionally-- Al, Bunny, and Excel, report in on how recruitment went and inform me of any members who have ignorantly not reported in to me yet! Understood? Excellent.

( [Filtered to Hokuto // 80% Unhackable] )

Alright, SOS-Brigade, it's time for a role call! Please respond on a timely basis or expect a penalty!

( For the SOS-Brigade )

...That reminds me. Geezer! Senel! Whatever your name is... rematch? Or at least a spar, I'll show you my improvement!

...On that note, can anyone here heal up a busted left hand?

EDIT: All all Brigaders, please welcome our newest recruit, Uriko!

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]

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!
