36th: The of Experience Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade]

[Inhale... exhale. She's not saying this in person at a meeting solely because she's... well, she feels somewhat awkward to be saying this. So-]

Attention, SOS-Brigade! I... have something to tell you all.

You probably noticed, but with the Kin'coran incident, not all of us were united with our efforts. Azusa and I organized that baseball game, and a lot of you helped, but a lot of you also went out to do your own things. But the thing is, a lot of you who did that also helped people. You contributed, which is within the realms of the expectations of Brigade members. Primarily, of course, the SOS-Brigade is a unified force and that's not about to change! But...

[She bites her lip. Okay. How does she-] But, basically, that's not always practical here. So for all of you who did things which held up the spirit of the Brigade, even not under your Chief's orders, I'm giving you my commendations. Well done.

You see, a lot of the Brigade has gone home. And the... our [Her. Kyon. Itsuki. Mikuru. Yuki.] SOS-Brigade from home, from North High - most of it isn't here. Of course, at North High it wasn't 100% the same objective... probably because I've not seen most of the fantastic things I've seen here. [And she bites her lip again] Anyway. The point is that lots and lots of SOS-Brigade members have been displaced along the way. And some of you [Xion] do have other responsibilities, of course. But basically, what I'm trying to say is...

The SOS-Brigade has reached a point that I expect you all to adhere to our goals and principles even when it's not my orders! Ensure people live worthwhile lives! Ensure that people aren't just slumming through life listless and pointlessly here! And if you're doing that, you're doing your Chief proud! She can't hold it against you! [...Cough]

T-to that end, I'm working on making some SOS-Brigade badges. Not that you need to wear them al--ways. That would just be tacky, even if it would be nice. ...But! I want you to talk to people, particularly people from other enclosures you meet on missions about the principles of the SOS-Brigade, and what we've done! Maybe give them badges and make them honorary members. I'm of course the final say for this enclosure, but I'm trusting the judgement of people I've picked here for other ones.

...And that's all.

[That was mortifying. Sob. Cough] ...Aside from the spelunking trip. [She will have mentioned this in meetings before] Of course, the submarine won't be finished for a while, so we're going to be doing this first. I'm thinking we leave on the seventh or so of October. Objections?! If there are any, you have ten minutes to announce them!

[Voice // Open]

Oh right, if anyone needs flying transportation that the teleporters that Leon of the SOS-Brigade provided with some help from Sokka can't get you to, the SOS-Brigade now has a flying dragon in our coffers. Her name's Isabelle and she'd love the exercise!

[BONUS ACTION: If anyone wants to run into Haruhi jogging around town in the morning or shopping in the afternoon after the meeting you can do either]

[This definitely piques his interest.]

A dragon you say? Just what is the SOS-Brigade?

[Oh hai he's new here.]

....

['Wow. Just wow.

In other news, today was the day I first felt significantly less mature than Haruhi Suzumiya.']

Yo, Haruhi.

...That was a really good speech. And I'm sure the rest of [slightest of pauses] our Brigade here thinks so too.

[ Oh ]

[ my ]

[ GOD ]

[It's Haruhi. Haruhi Suzumiya. In the flesh. Existing here in the real world as a real person from a real universe. And talking about her SOS-Brigade. In Luceti.]

[HERE.]

[...and apparently they have a dragon BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT THIS IS HARUHI SUZUMIYA. Is Mikuru here too? And Yuki? ~~She met Kyon but clearly doesn't care enough about his character to recognize him.~~]

I wanna join! [Oh, she blurted that out without thinking. Reel it in, girl.] I mean. This SOS-Brigade thing sounds really interesting! Since you mentioned a dragon. And dragons are interesting.

[A logical conclusion. Sure.]

... I'll always try to do you proud, Haruhi. I owe you a lot. I'd be happy to wear the badge.

It was the least I could do, Haruhi-chan...I wish I could have helped you out more, though.

[Grune listens carefully to Haruhi's speech all the way from start to finish. When she's done, she applauds with great enthusiasm.]

Oh, my, that was wonderful! What a good speech!

So I got two questions for ya, Boss. ... No wait, make that three.

Can my badge have my face on it? 'Cause that would be pretty neat. It could say "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, S.O.S. Brigade secretary of entertainment, honorary cartoon hero and king of merriment." [It doesn't cross his mind that this would never fit on a badge.]

Second, do I need any special spelunking gear? I could find some nice lederhosen, maybe! With a hat.

Third, do you think I could get the people from other enclosures to embrace Oswald Day? It wouldn't be the same without the Lucky Rabbit himself, but it's the principle that counts, right? Like you said, making sure they don't slum through life.

Badges?

...That sounds really neat, Haruhi.

[wow that's all a little more sappy than he knows how to deal with when Haruhi is the source. ...So to cover up the awkward]

What are the badges going to look like?

There's more than one dragon here?

Uncle Sokka helped? [ that was said in tiny letters but hey Ikki knows that dude! ]

Can I meet your dragon????!

And now you've moved on to dragon exploitation! [He's joking. Obviously.] Thanks for the mention though.

[Not just filtered to the Brigade, but filtered specifically to Haruhi. He's ... amused by that speech.]

That must have taken awhile to hammer out.

I still think it would be cool to have an uniform, but I guess badges are just as good.

[And...]

You sure you don't want to reconsider my position in the Brigade? I failed big this time.

[When Haruhi returns to the Brigade headquarters, she'll find Richard hanging around Isabelle's stable and... feeding the dragon part of a sub sandwich. Any questions as to where the dragon's unusual dietary habits came from?

Isabelle seems quite happy to have him there, though, and even happier to be fed. When Richard spots Haruhi, he waves to her with the hand not holding the sandwich.]

I hope you don't mind me bringing her a snack.

[oh haruhi..]

Hey, that was a nice speech, Haruhi! And the badges sound like a great idea.
