I don't know how many of you have heard, but these are the members of my SOS-Brigade, and our new purpose right now is to help out those of you who need help, answering your "SOS." Your lives must have problems, right, particularly after the sort of things we have to go through. Just come to the Brigade HQ and see how we can solve your things. Bonus points if it's something interesting too.

[Yeah, that'll do. She was just doing this to give herself something to do right now anyway. Why it's written, not voiced]

How many of you are looking to make new friends? Or getting to know a hot chick or an attractive guy?

[Action]

[In light of everything, Haruhi has been feeling more than a little nostalgic. Back at North high, during the start of the year and the cultural festival in November she dressed up in a certain outfit in order to attract attention. It's sort of too cold to wear it for advertisement like she used to, but it doesn't breathe at all so if she's inside and has a coat handy she ought to be okay...

Thus, in Seventh Heaven today Haruhi is here to have lunch and tea dressed like this. Yes, it's outlandish, but deal with it. (sorry no guitar though) Her journal is next to her. Feel free to notice or talk with her]

[Oh, she's already finished talking? He finishes chewing and swallows.]

Oh, that's too bad. Maybe I'll get to see the full costume later.

Yeah, maybe.

[ :I ]

So, what's the occasion for the outfit? It's not another holiday, is it?

No. It just felt like it.

[...

Reaching to get something off his tray]

[That earns a raised eyebrow.]

It's usually considered rude to eat off another person's plate.

It's also rude usually to sit down with someone without asking.

You're saying I'm not welcome here?

I'm saying there's a fine for being so brazen!

So instead of theft, now it's a fine.

Exactly! It's all a matter of perspective.

Justifying things by perspective is a dangerous business. One minute you're justifying theft as 'fines' and the next, you can justify anything.

And sticking to absolute rules gives way to complacency. A little challenging the system's expectations is perfectly healthy.

In which case, I feel like I've challenged the system where I need to be invited to your table.

[And now he's going to take something off her plate in turn.]

[ Wow rude she only had two halves to that sandwich. She'll just be taking something off his again then]

Penalty!

No penalties. That was equivalent exchange. [Taking that OTHER half of a sandwich now.] It's the most basic principle of alchemy. You have to give something in order to get something back.

I'm not even an alchemist!

[POUT duck bill pout. but she'll just eat what she took. She already bit that sandwich dude]

It's a concept that applies to plenty of other things. Or so Ed would say anyway.

[Who cares if she ate from it. He's ate from almost everything on his tray anyway.]

Do I look like that guy?

[Huff! But she sighs, shaking her head. She tries to flag a waiter to order more tea. And some rice balls]

Maybe if you were a little blonder.

[Hey, these sandwiches aren't bad. He'll have to order more sandwiches in the future.]

And I looked German or something.

Maybe. What do Germans look like?

[...Oh, right] Blonde hair, blue eyes, blocky jaws, light, fair skin - not like mine though, not quite pale. More peachy?

Oh. Amestrian, then. Ed's eyes aren't blue, though.

There's exceptions. Not all Chinese- err, Xing people look like you either. Right?

[...munch]

[Chinese?]

I hope not. I'd never be able to tell everyone I knew apart.
