[So from Day 2 of this onward, Haruhi is now Haruki. This effect will last all week and possibly be stacked on top of other effects. You guys are free to come at him with whatever you want too, and I'll roll with it. Replies to this post are generally assumed to be Day 3 or later, and you and see Days 1 and 2 here

The scenarios used in this post do not have to be how you tag him on those given days, I'm trying to supply some ideas for people stumped as to how to do it. Seriously he can be anywhere within reason, so give me a case and hit me.]

[Action: Day 3]
[In which Haruki is throwing out his sheets/comforter and needs to go get new ones. Pity the bed's still too small for him, or nearly, but he doesn't want to change all that up.]


[Action: Day 4, 5]
[Jogging, lots of jogging. All around the village and the forest's edge. Sure it's cloudy on Day 4, but all that means is that it's less hot so it's not sweltering. As such, he is jogging shirtless on both days and generally enjoying this somewhat cooler and breezy later spring/early summer. And you should too.]

[Voice: Day 6]
[On and off storming all day, Haruki has decided to stay in. In the course of staying in, he's decided to start making more complete notes on how he wants to run that pageant idea. And in the course of doing that, he flips on the voice to ask something of the village-]

Oi, so who here would like to see some of their friends participate in a pageant? I know some of you do already and some of you did last time, but let's hear it.

[Action: Day 7, 8]
[Sort of expecting to be replaced by Haruhi today because these days make a week of weird effects. In spite of himself it makes him pensive, and as such he hangs out mostly around Ammy's Tree Hill today, looking at the tail end of the blooms there. He'll also be around the village later, of course.]


[Action: Day 9, 10]
[Aaaand then he wasn't replaced, which was perplexing. However, by this point he has seen and done a lot of weird things, so he's just trying to go about a normal day of hanging at the HQ, fully expecting something weird to bust into his life anyway. Might as well hang out and see what's what, so when he isn't in the HQ he's wandering around, maybe looking for something or someone interesting]

[Voice]

Hey, SOS-Brigade, I'm going to be out for the next few days. Off to the desert.

[A beat]

That said, just because I'm going to be out doesn't mean that people who were traumatized by the experiment shouldn't come to seek my Brigade's counsel. In fact, if you were, go ahead and stop by, we'll sort you out. [here or on this post or your own post or wherever]

[Hum. Mentioning Hydra Social or plans she might have for March would be too much, this is good for now. Really she's... a little nervous, but she's also confident she's got this for for the desert. Cooking, keeping supplies in order, management. All things she excels at.]

Over and out!

[Feel free to reply with anyone of course]

[A boy, specially Sokka. It's all at once a fantasy come true and a nightmare and frankly, she's more worried than anything. Worried about what Sokka will do with her body, and worried about trying to keep up the role that she's setting out to do today. ...And rolling her eyes about the fact that Sokka literally has a schedule for her to follow.

Okay, so given her meet up with Sokka earlier she's already missed training with Souji, probably, so she just takes his boomerang and a sword and tries to get the hang of both of them until she goes to the Smithy.

Once at the Smithy, there's a lot of lounging, a lot of "looking" like she's busy (even though she's really just trying to get the hang of things) with projects Sokka was doing, and then doing new projects just to get the hang of forging some more. Possibly some accidents. From there, she'll be heading home-

For Dinner. Dinner is important, according to Sokka, so she's making sure that she's there early for that. It's awkward not to make or at least help make it though, so she might be lingering unnecessarily near the kitchen for a while beforehand and guilty doing more to clean up afterwords. And then...

The dreaded after-dinner. Dealing with Suki is what she dreads the most, but she might have some unfortunate encounters with other housemates too. Not sure how to do that or to end such encounters, she'll just do her best to survive the very... interesting first day.]

(Hi guys - this is just the first day but you can hit her up as Sokka at any point later in this week too if you want. Replies come from markofthegod

Also if you missed the memo this is bodyswap plot done via Haruhi's reality bending powers, not the Malnosso/a kidnapping effect. So if you'll see here, this means your characters shouldn't find their actions to be that odd. Or if this do, it's something they can dismiss. Please do play along for everyone's fun! If you have any further questions you could ask us on the linked OOC stuff)

[Eventually into this]

[Action - The 18th through the 21st]
[Continuing from the incident on the 17th, Haruhi Suzumiya (who is now about eleven years old) is spending much of her time wandering around Luceti. Looking for people who look interesting, playing with things and people, and generally out to see if there's anything interesting. If everyone the other day was right she'll be back to "normal" soon, so. Might as well enjoy herself right now

Feel free to run into her wherever in town]

[Voice - The 22nd (today)]
[But today it's thunderstorm city, so even if she was out while it was raining yesterday, she can't really do that today! So she tries to work with the journal today! Yeah!]

Hey everyone! ...I'm Haruhi, is there anyone else I apparently know who I haven't met yet?

[As with the other post, replies with be with godsquirt]

[Voice]

[This post comes up about an hour after the draft announcement and her reaction to it. It's cool, simple, to the point. Whoever wants to run into her will run into her during the course of the next day or two (and feel free to action that!) when she goes about "business as usual." Fur now, she's been training in magic and hand to hand, but neither is going to be efficient here, so-]

Someone teach me how to shoot a gun.

[And who knows, maybe people will reply to her about unrelated garbage too. She's still trembling, sitting on the roof of her house tonight

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

[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]

[Voice]

So everyone, Valentines is supposed to be about love and stuff, right? But have you ever thought what's up with that Saint Valentine guy who originated the holiday?! Given that it's still popular today, is he just some famous dead guy, or is he now a ghost, trying to appeal to everyone's mind and manipulate them?! Wouldn't that explain how it's popular in both Japan and the West?

Bearing that in mind, even if this holiday is kinda stupid, it's still important to adhere to certain traditions in hopes of seeing any possible Valentines spirits. Because of that, I've gotten chocolate for some of you.

[...Namely all of the guys in the Brigade and grudgingly Minato. She considered some others, like Neku or Sokka, but decided against it. She also considered Winry but she's not sure if that's too weird or not. That said, delivering them? No, she's carrying them around in her bag in case she runs into people for other reasons and failing that going to put what's left in a basket at the HQ after she's done.]

More importantly-! A bunch of you have heard about the beach, right?! And you're all psyched to go there this summer?! Well, brought to you by our SOS-Brigade's genius scientist, Leon [this next part is muttered quickly and might not be heard:] andsomehelpfromSokka we're bringing you the all-new Beach Teleportation System! You know how the ones for the Hot Springs work, right?! Same thing here! The village-end for the teleporter is located in the barracks, and the other end is way off, so we can have easy access once it warms up!

All in a day's work for the SOS-Brigade!

[First reply is of course for her two boys. Once they're done feel free though.]

[Voice]

( Exposition leading to this entry )

[From a hiding place (a not particularly good one per say, but a hiding place of the spare room on the second floor of her her house) she begins what she knows will be hard for her to say. She sounds in no way comfortable as she starts with-]

Hey, Luce- [no that's stupid-] everyone I know. Or... yeah, everyone I know, or other people, I don't care! [That got harsh. She's awkward here] Look-! ...Look. Anyone that knew that guy, Haruki Suzumiya that wasn- ... The was... [UGH. The letter in her hand crumples a bit as she pushes it together, awkward] ...Whatever, forget it! Jeez, damn Malnosso. It's not important!

[ ... ... A minute later]

...No. It is important, after all. Look- that guy, I have his- no, I have my own memories, which are basically his except I'm in them and none of you remember it like that. [Dammit dammit she sounds like she's repeating a point. Things she's already said. Dammit. There's a growl of frustration before she slips up out of her chair to pace, leaving the journal on the table but still talking loud enough to be recorded] I have memories, alright?! So I know some of you- a lot of you, I guess. But- [...] But I guess, you guys don't know me. You-

[ARGH. she looks again at the letter and then crumbles it into a ball. She throws it at the floor and then presses on, stopping in place and yelling now]

Some of you liked that guy, right?! Some of you were friends and some of you lo- [gulp-] loved that guy, right?! I'm not that guy- it's been two weeks since I showed too, so unless he Malnosso are bigger assholes than anyone thought I'm not going to be that guy either. [But if she is, if she 'reverts back' next week or tomorrow, this post is meaningless. ...Maybe it still is. But it feels like her heart is breaking and she needs to do something. Even as she stays all this, she feels no catharsis though, only her hollow dread turning into a real fear - a fear, what? Rejection? Probably, but fear of something tangible is better than something she doesn't even know the face]

So- ... So fine, that's that! We're different, alright?! And I was expecting you to forget but- fine! Don't forget him, it doesn't matter! [...UGH. Dammit, she's losing the point again. She crouches, picking up the crumbled ball of the letter]

...I know things can't be the same as I remember them, but I guess things also won't be the same as you remember. I want to just pick up where I left off but that's- [...dammit] That's not completely possible, is it? It's not like I'm a time traveler and can go back and change things and- [...she could change it to everyone remembering her. But that's not fair, even if she did know how to manage it. And last time. She mutters-] ...And Leon would screw it up again

[That might not have even been recorded, but she stands after this, her voice gaining resolve.]

So what I'm saying is that... I'm Haruhi. I'm the Chief of the SOS-Brigade, and- and if you knew that Haruki guy we can start over, starting now! And if you didn't know that guy, then it doesn't matter because I'm me and whatever he said or did doesn't matter to you anyway! ["judge me only as me"]

So, hi everyone, it's nice to meet you! [Should she add "I hope you'll look after me?" ...No, that's just stupid. She should leave it at that.]

( Later, for Sokka )

[Voice + Action]

[So Haruhi... arrived this morning. Or well, last night? Somewhere in there, and she learned the truth the hard way. She's yet to test it, but she's got no reason to think Mikage was lying unless it was an elaborate troll, in which case she'll beat him into the ground.

Thus, once it's a more sensible hour of the day, she clears her throat after waking up - and skimming the journals, getting a brief feel for how things are right now, but afraid to look back and see Haruki so not that far - in the Brigade room (if for whatever reason you character would be there in the morning, feel free to run into her then btw):]

Hey, Luceti, listen up!

I, Haruhi Suzumiya, have returned as what is probably one of the first new feathers of this cycle!

SOS-Brigade, that means that naturally you're required to show up for future meetings, starting tomorrow. If you fail to attend even one of the ones this week I'll penalize you so much that you won't get to see the sun for weeks, got it?! Luceti's going to get much more exciting from here, so look forward to it, everyone!

[...Yeah, that'll due. She'll wait on responses for a while, but then getting restless (it's before noon, after all), she's going to head out

She's got two locations in mind. In order, she's heading to Winry's house (House 23) to knock on it and look for her, and then once she deduces Winry is missing (and in a much more foul mood) she's matching to claim back House 10. Naturally, your character is free to run into her on the way to or at either of these locations as well

Yes just feel free to run into her in general. Or reply. Or whatever. After all, you all remember her a little... different. Though new people are welcome too. Everyone is]
