10th: The Advances of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade // 85% Unhackable]

[This morning finds Haruhi sitting on her porch (of House 10) holding a set of dice in her hand before school. She found them last night, and it helped spawn an idea in her head. She's rolling the dice idly on the ground, so anyone is of course free to run into her before then, but-]

Alright Brigade, listen up! In my infinite wisdom I've devised our next scheme. Some people might have been saying "SOS-Brigade, what do they do?" for a while now, and we've been losing a few members here and there besides, but no more! In fact, this new one's going to hit everyone clear out of the park and top everything we've ever done before!

You notice how everyone has been going "oh it's so boring" or "what do you do for fun" and stuff like that? Well, we're going to show them what we do for fun: the SOS-Brigade is going to construct a games house, a gambling den, a casino! Pachinko, slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, showgirls, minibars, we're going to set all of that up and have it operational before the summer begins!

Any objections can be submitted to me once opening night for our new casino happens. In the meantime, we'll be hammering out the details at today's meeting. It's about time we made our name immortal!

[The meeting is assumed, but any insights you think your character might point out/that you want to point out you can show us all here, please]

[Voice // Action]

Hey Luceti! This is your special chance to do a favor for the one and only SOS-Brigade. We're in need of all of the following, so any takers should step forth now! We require: A skilled martial artist, a mathematician, a mechanic who doesn't already work at the smithy, some big meat head - preferably six or more feet tall, a representative from the bar, someone who can fly, someone skilled at hair-care, a skilled massager, a geneticist, anyone who can walk on water and... a hacker, preferably a space-age one.

[Also if you want to find for for action, this evening sees Haruhi going out to outside of House 10 where she's set up some dummies and practicing her martial arts on them. She's good, but she feels sorely out of practice - her muscles aren't keeping up with her brain, and the results are frustrating]

[ huh. well -- wasn't this interesting. buffy has a lot of time on her hands as she waits out for derek to finally go over to the vamp side and try to take her down. she's been stalking the journals a little more heavily, recently. ]

From the bar, huh? Amongst all those other types? Dare I even ask, Haruhi?

[ though she fit a few others as well. martial artist. hair-care. but those weren't really as official a responsibility in the village as her duty to good spirits is. ]

[godbent]

I dunno, do you?! So you're the one stepping up from the bar, huh? I need to jack a surplus of booze!

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

You're... kidding? How are we even going to make all tha- [[Wait... there's Leon...]]

Nevermind that, where're we going to put it all. Isn't your place already loaded?

((Just setting it up, yeah?))

[godbent]

[You know she hadn't quick picked the where just yet but...]

...Huh. We'll figure out a location for later. Maybe one of the empty houses.

Isn't a casino pointless when there's no money?

[voice]

[godbent]

Come on, Ayumu, I know your brain's rotting but show some creativity!

[Voice]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Hey, can do one of those things! He's also totally boss at hair care.]

Oh! Pick me, pick me!

[Voice]

[godbent]

For which category?

[voice]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Pachinko...? Looks like I've got some studying to do. [A gambling den in a world with no money? ...Well, Haruhi's probably got something in mind for that already.]

And what do you need a geneticist and hacker for?

[voice]

[godbent]

In case I want to clone Siegfried and Roy's tiger and just in case. Hacking's a vital thing to know in this place, after all, and you never know when you might need to boost a network beyond it's current potential.

-Either way! I'll be counting on you to get the machines up and running, Leon.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

I'm going to regret asking what you need a martial artist for, aren't I?

[godbent]

-Do you even count for one?

[voice]

[winged_moon]

Why do you need all those people?

[voice]

[godbent]

For logistics.

[ voice ]

[slatebreaker.livejournal.com]

A gambling den!

[ oh, marilla would faint! and she wasn't the kind of woman to faint at simply anything. ]</small.

[ voice ]

[godbent]

And not just any den, the best one ever!

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Why do you need all of those?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Well, I'm going to need them for various purposes! Logistics, you know.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[A mechanic, mathematician, geneticist, and hacker you say? Well, Dist is a talented man, after all. But what could a little girl want with all that?]

For what purpose are you recruiting such people, young lady?

[godbent]

That's confidential until I'm convinced that people can help me.

[4000excuses.livejournal.com]

M-may I make a suggestion...? Perhaps it would be beneficial to speak to Professor Robert Hastings? ...At least he seems like a scientist so perhaps he can assist you.

Voice

[godbent]

Oh, yeah, that guy... okay, I'll put that one on the list of potentials.

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

You called?

[voice]

[godbent]

No, I didn't.

[But that's after a notable delay in which she feels her skin crawl a little]

[Voice]

[fyulong]

Encouraging teenagers to gamble, boss? You're just asking for trouble there!

[Voice]

[godbent]

A little trouble never hurt anyone!

[ voice ]

[markofthebrave]

[...okay, she's really not in the mood for this, but - that list of skills.]

Why do you need someone who can walk on water?

[ voice ]

[godbent]

...Oh right, you could, couldn't you?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Being tall doesn't make someone a meat-head.

[voice]

[godbent]

Duh, but the two aren't mutually exclusive, either.
