As some of you probably noticed by now, Mikage's gone. [a beat] ...What this means is that the Deputy Vice Chief position is now vacant, and in addition to this we have Christmas coming up - New Years too. Winter Holidays! In light of those two facts, I'm proposing a simple solution! In addition to the existing projects we have - the Friendship Club from our trainee member and Operation Hydra Social with Oswald and his buttmonkey - that the show we're going to put on for Christmas be a trial for all of you! The one who shows the most promise will get the esteemed promotion to Deputy Vice Chief!

What exactly we'll be doing is to be discussed at the next meeting, but keep this in mind.

[See: here for further and OOC discussion]

[Open Voice]

Luceti, listen up! In this Holiday Season we're coming into now, no doubt there'll be even more parties and such than what has already happened and no doubt the Organization will throw something at us too. However, I want you all to bear in mind that there is an outlet for whatever complications you run into as a result of all this: the legendary SOS-Brigade. Like always, come to our HQ if you have any problems, particularly if they're interesting.

[Take that, Angel]

Besides this... If you want to join our ranks, you can apply there as well. Furthermore, keep your eyes peeled for something way more impressive than our efforts last year.

Haruhi, over and out!

[...] But hey, for any of you who don't know, Winry's birthday is on the eleventh. [A beat] She's been sick for a while now, and I don't know if she'll be 100% by then, so we're not going to do some huge party, but if you're her friend you better still get her gifts! Nice, thoughtful things!

[And then this has been bugging her for a while. Seeking insight from the whole village - her, the leader of the SOS-Brigade - would be disgusting. But she can at least get one thing out of the way here]

If you happen to - [...She was going to introduce everyone to him as "Kyon" to make sure he has no chance to reclaim his name. She remembers doing something similar in Luceti, years ago, the last time Kyon was here. But the moment she starts, her heart isn't in it] ... You know what, forget it. Whatever.

How would you have felt if you returned and not only did people expect a different looking you but Winry was a guy instead of a girl as you remembered?

[Pause.]

Actually, I'm not very sure of what I'm saying, forget it.

[godbent]

[ ... ] Yeah seriously, that's just weird. But to go back to the original point, it's both.

[breaks_destiny]

Oh... That makes it more complicated.

[godbent]

What, you thought it would be simple?

[breaks_destiny]

No, but I expected it to be a little complicated. Not very complicated.

[godbent]

Shut up.

[UGH. Head into hands]

[breaks_destiny]

[He sighs and shuts up. Cue staring at her, what now?]

[godbent]

It's just going to be complicated for a while, okay?

[breaks_destiny]

I know that. But I still want to help in any way I can. Though I suppose there's no such luck here, right?

[godbent]

[...]

Well, what do you think?

[breaks_destiny]

I can only think of being here for you? Like a good friend and all... And stating that I like the way you are and such, but I'm biased.

[godbent]

I like me the way I am too! [Puffing out her checks...! I: ]

[breaks_destiny]

Then nothing else matters, does it? He will like you and if not, it's his loss.

[godbent]

[ ... ]

Fine, whatever. That makes sense, yeah.

[breaks_destiny]

[He sighs and eyes her. Though he supposes he really can't do anything for her on this besides being by her side and all those typical things.]

[godbent]

[...Nnngh]

You can tell he's frustrated. And it's pissing me off.

[breaks_destiny]

He seems the type that gets frustrated easily though. And you really can't blame him, even leaving aside the issue about you, there's just the issue of Luceti in general. And he doesn't seem the type to accept easily the way things are either.

[So it all just adds up to it.]

I get why it's pissing you off though.

[godbent]

[At all makes sense, she knows. She knows, but it's still frustrating to think about. He just... :| he should be better! And okay?! But... seriously, that's annoying. She lets that out with a sigh and then nods to herself]

Well, yeah.

[breaks_destiny]

[He agrees with her anyway. It frustrates him as well when people just... Just don't get better, no matter how much time it passes and they keep clinging to the idea of leaving and such. It's not that he thinks they should welcome the idea of being stuck here but... Those things only make it worse for them and others around them. And Kyon really seemed like a serious case of "I don't care, where is the exit", which only adds to the complications of the situation.]

Give him some time, he may get better with it.

[godbent]

He doesn't get it, the moron. [But then, no one gets it. No one understands things the way she does right now. They just think "Oh I want to go home" or "oh I don't want to go home." All the idiots here fail to see the bigger picture]

[breaks_destiny]

Not everyone gets it. Some people spend here years and still don't get it so him not getting it right away isn't that bad. Unless you're telling me he was the kind of genius who would get things like this in a second and this is an exception or something.

[godbent]

No, he's just some guy.

[breaks_destiny]

Typically average, huh?

[godbent]

Boringly so.

[breaks_destiny]

[He arches an eyebrow at that.]

Really?
