1st: The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice + Action]

[So Haruhi... arrived this morning. Or well, last night? Somewhere in there, and she learned the truth the hard way. She's yet to test it, but she's got no reason to think Mikage was lying unless it was an elaborate troll, in which case she'll beat him into the ground.

Thus, once it's a more sensible hour of the day, she clears her throat after waking up - and skimming the journals, getting a brief feel for how things are right now, but afraid to look back and see Haruki so not that far - in the Brigade room (if for whatever reason you character would be there in the morning, feel free to run into her then btw):]

Hey, Luceti, listen up!

I, Haruhi Suzumiya, have returned as what is probably one of the first new feathers of this cycle!

SOS-Brigade, that means that naturally you're required to show up for future meetings, starting tomorrow. If you fail to attend even one of the ones this week I'll penalize you so much that you won't get to see the sun for weeks, got it?! Luceti's going to get much more exciting from here, so look forward to it, everyone!

[...Yeah, that'll due. She'll wait on responses for a while, but then getting restless (it's before noon, after all), she's going to head out

She's got two locations in mind. In order, she's heading to Winry's house (House 23) to knock on it and look for her, and then once she deduces Winry is missing (and in a much more foul mood) she's matching to claim back House 10. Naturally, your character is free to run into her on the way to or at either of these locations as well

Yes just feel free to run into her in general. Or reply. Or whatever. After all, you all remember her a little... different. Though new people are welcome too. Everyone is]

[A cabbage on fire.]

What? But I'm already in the brigade! [Wait... Haruhi Suzumiya?] ... since when were you in charge anyway?

[godbent]

Since always, after all I originally created the SOS-Brigade back on Earth in May of 2005! [A sage nod before she sticks her nose up. Yes, let's focus on that and not Luceti so he can't bitch about it]

[bamfing]

[He seems to consider that. And smirks.]

I see. So as far as I'm concerned, it's not even invented yet. Maybe I should beat you to the punch, yeah?

[godbent]

Wha- [She looks genuinely surprised for a moment and the splutters. The next words are cruel and she's glaring, but it's really more of a glare-pout] No! You so much as think of doing that and I'll rip your tail off!

[bamfing]

You'd have to be able to catch me first.

[That's his cue to abruptly vanish and appear behind her.]

What do you think? Does the S.O.W. Brigade has the same ring to it?

[godbent]

[FFF turning her her heel to glare at the freak, now looking a little flustered because she should have seen that coming] Not at all! That just sounds like some stupid little kids club that was invented on the back of a cereal box.

[bamfing]

Oh come on, it has to be better than naming it after a distress, signal, yeah? I could even work in a double meaning. [He holds up a hand in front of him, as if waving it in front of him will make words appear.]

The SOWing Excitement All Over the World with Kurt Wagner Brigade! See? The S.O.W. gets in there twice.

[godbent]

[Sowing. ...Oh that's a little clever, but her face contorts into this ugly thing a little between annoyance and jealousy because that is a pretty creative creation]

Things that go in twice like that might as well be whores. [Yes, really] It's just tacky to have it included for a "double meaning" as shallow as that; the SOS-Brigade includes the double meaning of it being an SOS for people dying of boredom!

[bamfing]

[Jeez Haruhi, why so jealous? This just fuels Kurt's teasing.]

That seems a little too complicated. And it cheapens what a real SOS actually is.

[godbent]

That's not a problem unless we're on a boat!

[bamfing]

Actually now that you mention it, the SOS Brigade should have more of a boat motif, yeah? Maybe some sails on top of the HQ, make the entrance look like the bow of a ship. Of course, for the SOW Brigade, I guess I'd need more of a farm motif.

[godbent]

[Farm?! Farm?!] What, you're gunna put a girl in a pig costume? There's no way that would work without the expert knowledge the likes of which only I can provide!

[Complete with jabbing a finger at his face. ...Up at his face because I assume he's taller than 5'2]

[bamfing]

[Yes, but he crouches. He stares at that finger for a second seems to consider this.]

Okay, you've got a point. From now on, you're a member of the SOW Brigade!

1/3

[godbent]

[!!]

[godbent]

Haaaaah?!

[godbent]

[Yeah she gets even more up in his face]

No I'm not! I refuse- in fact, refuse is even too weak of word, I reject that! Your offer is so lame it might as well never have been made because once, now, and forever will I be the infallible chief of the SOS-Brigade and you're being insubordinate! Timelines are irrelevant here anyway and what's more even if you did create your stupid SOW Brigade I would come and conquer it!

[And here she takes a step forward up into your shit. She's expecting him to back away so with every other word she takes another step if he does. Also getting red in the fact because she imagined him forcing her into a pig costume]

Do you even have a brain between those ears, Kurt?! I'll stick you with so many penalties that you'll be my buttmonkey for the rest of you life- no, that's not even good enough, for an eternity! You're 100000560000 years too soon to be making conclusions like you can lead your own group, let alone that you can command me!

[bamfing]

[There's a long pause as he is somewhat insulted by her outburst. And then a little annoyed. And then, in the end, just amused. He does take that step back, at least at first, but he doesn't back down after that.]

How can I be insubordinate? I only joined the Spreaking Excitement All Over the World with Haruki Suzumiya. Since you're not him, I'm pretty sure you can't penalize me.

[And now he turns his back on her, as if to walk away. He peeks over his shoulder.]

But don't worry, I changed my mind on recruiting you! I need someone who can think 'big picture', yeah?

[godbent]

[Kurt she is tsundere that is the correct reaction. In time you will learn to bypass the first two steps]

-That's not it at all! I said you're a member of my Brigade before you even invented this SOW nonsense!

[GLAARRE]

[bamfing]

Just because you said it, doesn't make it true!

[He pauses, faking like he's pondering this. He then turns around.]

Unless you want to recruit me?

[godbent]

[PFFT]

[godbent]

[...Well.

...]

...So what if I do?

[LOOK TO THE SIDE]

[bamfing]

[Oh man, all the signs are there, aren't they? This is just too good.]

Well you'd have to make it worth my while. Haruki got me a Batarang from Batman. That's pretty hard to top, yeah?

1/2

[godbent]

No I did- [NO, NO... starting over...]

[godbent]

...I'll give you a promoted position!

[bamfing]

[He was working up towards a date. But then, it wouldn't be a serious one, just one to tease her with. But he has Amanda after all. And he's long figured out this is actually Haruki, so that would be weird.]

Yeah? Like what?
