21st: The Revolution of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice]

Okay! Everyone in Luceti more or less stable from that last experiment? Good! Maybe you're not, but we're done with all the apologies and public fallout right, right? And most of the new feathers are in by now.

Well, I'm here today to inform you about the details of a group you guys might not be super familiar with if you're new and might have some misconceptions about if you're not. That's right, I'm here to talk to you about the one and only SOS-Brigade, and what our new and revised Brigade system will be bringing to you guys. That's right, revel in our generosity, because starting now the SOS-Brigade is pooling its talent to more than every be the leg Luceti stands on!

[First things first, put up to the journal's camera is an image of the Brigade's symbol. One that many might find familiar- it's spray-painted onto the sign for the Brigade HQ in the main plaza of town.]

So what is the SOS-Brigade, you guys might wonder? Well, normally, I'd suggest you were living under a rock because we are in the guide, and are Luceti's premiere group of anything related to entertainment over the years and did just put on a wildly successful Equinox festival, but that's actually be a question I've been asking myself lately. "What is the SOS-Brigade here in Luceti?" The Brigade was originally founded back on Earth to solve the mysteries of this world, and we still do that here! But here, a lot of those mysteries just make things more complicated and tiresome and bad - they don't do anything to live up to the name "Spreading Excitement All Over the World with Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade."

So! You want to know what we're about? Well, here's our new mission statement: "To ensure that everyone in Luceti experiences a worthwhile life. The SOS-Brigade will be there to support troubled people in whatever capacity they need to be assisted."

That's right! As of now, we're answering the SOS-es [Haha, she picks up tempo here, amused at her own pun] of the people in this village and setting out to solve their problems! Got love issues, come to us! Got problems with a friend? Come to us! Need friends? Us too! Anything and everything you might need support in we can either provide, or refer you to someone else... who, you know, is better suited for it. [...] Which isn't a lot of things, we're pretty talented!

But the point is, yes, the Brigade is about parties and events and game nights, but more than that, people, it's about people, right? The world can't overflow with fun and be saved with good cheer unless everyone's problems are solved! So come to us with a problem, we'll work it out! Just stop by our HQ and any member of my SOS-Brigade will be more than happy to work with you, and we can then work with, well, you! So that's how it is, answering the SOS of troubled people and ensuring that they actually can have fun here to some extent.

So you hear that Luceti, stop by! ..Also, because of these changes, we're also recruiting! Any potential applicants or people who need a life coach or something, speak up and we'll consider you for being welcomed into the fold.

-Additionally, is Brave Vesperia still around? I need either them or someone else who an work with a large scale carpentry job. Also, Paprika or any other therapist, ring me!

...Oh right, and any questions, ask them now.

Haruhi Suzumiya, over and out!

[The symbol moves now for her to have a big grin at the book]

[Voice // Filtered to the Members of the SOS-Brigade]

O...kay. Changes are out in the open now. Sorry, sorry, kept it under wraps until now. In light of the changes I'm asking for a sound off of everyone who isn't Leon, Keiichi, or Ayumu to speak up so I know if you're still with us for our new image. It might be a bit more demanding, yeah, but things which are rewarding usually are and we'll still have fun with it, promise! Once I know who's doing what, I'll also be appointing our new Vice-Chief and Deputy by the end of the week.

[OOC INTEL: The Brigade's revised information can be seen here. Which can be compared to the current information here. The current information will be replaced in the next few days with the new stuff (but I'll compile it elsewhere in case you want to review the old version for some reason). The Brigade's appointments for incoming requests are here. Admittedly these are major changes, so their implementation might be slow. Any further questions you have though might be directed here.]

Keiichi, you never question a woman's intuition!

I'm not questioning it, just saying it's wrong.

[He could tease, he wanted to tease, but he doesn't. He just wants this subject to be dropped already... Maybe he should stop denying it? Then she may be happy enough to not question why he's weird.]

...That's the same thing!

... Okay, sorry for questioning it.

[There, that should be enough, right?]

Good you should know better than to-! ... to...

...Keiichi. Let's meet up somewhere.

[For a second he thought it was done... Until she asks to meet up, but it can't be related to it, it's probably just Brigade stuff, right? And he can't refuse that. Ignore the extra pause before his reply, that's just your imagination Haruhi.]

Sure, where?

The grocery! We're getting some mixed coffee together.

[Shopping together? He will get gloves then, so he can carry the grocery bags without hurting himself... Yes, he's expecting them to start with the mixed coffee and end with tons of things, she's a girl after all.]

Got it, I'm on my way.

[Whether she meant now or not, it's not as if he has anything else to do at the moment, so he will just wait at the store.]

Edited 2011-10-19 05:29 (UTC)

[SWEET. She'll be waiting there with her arms crossed and a fluffy coat on because it's getting colder and such]

[Keiichi just raises an eyebrow upon finding her waiting, was she around there already?]

Oi.

[He waves a bit as he gets closer.]

So... Mixed coffee, right?

[ ...! ]

Yes! That's exactly it!

Anything else?

[He has to ask.]

Nothing.... yet.

[And into the grocery she goes on that foreboding note]

[He knew there had to be more than just mixed coffee!! But no more information is given, damn. Anyway he can't do anything about it so he follows her and starts the search.]

What type did you have in mind?

I'm not sure yet. Some sort of iced coffee or mochachino or...

[ :|a What to do. ]

Isn't mochachino basically hot chocolate?

[Asking while surveying the items in the store, honestly he has not much idea about coffee so he's not going to be helpful with picking one.]

Well, sort of. So... [And she runs a hand through her hair, thinking. Now, what do do...] How are you doing?

[Still looking through the items around.]

Eh? Fine... I'm not much into coffee so I can't really be helpful here.

[Is he really not getting the question or is that a subtle way to evade it?]

[ . . . . ]

Yes. I figured as much.

[He hums as he checks one of the mixed coffee cans he finds. It's hard to tell if he's doing it on purpose or not but he doesn't seem to be paying Haruhi much attention.]

[... Okay that tears it. She rushes the distance between them and goes to tug forcefully on Keiichi's arm, trying to pull his upper body into the shelf he's looking at and/or towards her height]

[He clearly wasn't expecting that, Keiichi lets the can drop with a yelp as he's pulled like a rag doll.]

Ack! What the hell, Haruhi?!

You're being weird! [And she tugs again, but now goes to grab the neck of his shirt, tugging him closer] Not tell me why or ... just tell me why!

[You know, this was more comfortable when you were a guy and he was tugged upwards, not forced to bend.]

I told you I'm not being weird! Wait... Did you tell me to meet to ask about this?

[Had he known he wouldn't have come, man.]
