Okay, does everyone remember the raffle with fabulous prizes that my very talented minion, Duplica, ran some time ago?! [this, that is] Well it's time to announce the results!

[Haruhi is standing in front of a shoe box filled with raffle tickets. Well, "filled." Either way, she rummages in there to pick the first name] There might be ten prizes, but there can only be three winners! This draw is for the third pick of prize and it's... [Pull out and reading:] Fenimore! One of the close runners up in the SOS-Brigade's Cross Beauty Pageant a while back! Congratulations! [Fist pump, and now rummage for number 2...] Aaaand it's our very own Oswald! The so-called Lucky Rabbit lucks out with second pick! And the number one ceed goooooes to... [Rummage and pull out-- whoa]

Wow, whoever this is has really nice handwriting. [Okay... reading-] Sakura... Oogami. Okay, Sakura Oogami, you get first pick! All three of you should head to the SOS-Brigade's HQ to tell me which prize you're claiming! In order, Sakura gets first pick, then Oswald, then Fenimore! And if you liked this raffle, and want to do more fun things like it, you should consider joining the SOS-Brigade!

[Okay and then she sits. There's a short pause before-] Furthermore, anyone who was in the last draft- I heard it was in a different Enclosure. I don't really care about all the details of the fighting, but anyone who can tell me what that other village was like can get the beneficial thanks of the leader of the SOS-Brigade! After all, it's Culture Day, so you might as well.

[She salutes the book! Then the end thought-]

And as a parting thought: Do you like pirates, or ninja?

[She doesn't get why they're a polarized debate. But a job is a job, and she might as well make it fun]

[Action]

[and Haruhi will be in the HQ for them. But then later in the day she's going to be planting a sign in the ground outside the HQ which reads:

"Got Problems? Come in and Consult the SOS-Brigade!"

And then she's going to be sitting the HQ waiting for clients and answering things on voice the rest of the time.

OOC: Brigade Plans for November, if anyone wants to jack onto threads about pirates and ninjas, feel free to go for it.]

( placesetting )

For those that new any of them, Uriko Nonomura is finally home and Neku Sakuraba's also gone back to his Shibuya. [As Neku vanished over a week ago (she simply delayed announcing it because consoling Shiki meant more to her than letting the public know) she suspects some of his friends will have noticed him being more quiet than usual. But regardless-]

But, despite that, Luceti, I've got something different and much more exciting to tell you all about! I'm sure by now all of you have heard of my SOS-Brigade, right?! We're have an HQ ready to take clients at any time in the center of town, we have a boat out at those docks at the ocean, we helped construct a shrine for Amatersu out at the cherry tree hill, and of course one of my Lieutenants, Oswald, is running Hydra Social! You really can't miss us!

Well, this is just a friendly reminder that this Spreading Excitement All Over the World With Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade is open to both new members and new clients in the days to come! We're willing to support anyone that comes to us with problems, particularly if they happen to be interesting ones, and if you want to join our ranks, we'll welcome you as well!

[Cough. Okay] And, as I'm sure all you people who have been here a while haven noticed, we're rapidly closing in on a important holiday. You can guess what it is, right? Tanabata! Of course it's Tanabata, happening on the 7th of July! As always, you and expect the SOS-Brigade to put out fireworks, food, and bamboo shoots to tie your wishes onto come nightfall, but this year we're planning to show you stars both during the day and the night! Do you know how...?

[And here she picks up a megaphone to speak into it into the journal]

Luceti's Second Brigade Hosted Cross Beauty Pageant!

Naturally, as it's going to be happening in July we'll be accepting sign ups - personal or by proxy [so sign up your friends :T] before the day of, and when the day comes we'll be taking a popular and judge's vote, just like last time! And like last time, remember that this is cross beauty! [Cross dressing. Girls in suits (even if last time this wasn't the case). Men in dresses. You know how it is. If you don't...] People who don't adhere to those standards when the time comes will of course be assisted by staff from All Passions or the Brigade itself when the time comes, but let's get those signatures in so that we can ensure it'll be a good show!

I'll be here to answer any questions that aren't stupid - Haruhi Suzumiya, over and out!

[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 (obv Action for House 10)]

[So Haruhi got home last night - later last night, and after looking at the bracelet she earned and putting it away, she sighed to herself and went to bed. Thus, it is the next morning after she got up to make breakfast out of some force of habit despite everything that she opens the journal to let everyone know-]

I'm back! About time too, that run a little longer than I was expecting... oh well! It was interesting, at least! Those TPs might be psychos, but they have some neat stuff, even if those pictographs don't really make any sense [she took some notes on them. She could recreate some from memory. But that's another matter] I definitely could have done without the spike pit trap again though, jeez... I even brought a fedora, expecting a classic like a giant ball or arrows in the wall, but no, all I get is some lame spike bit and a bear trap. [Both of which she avoided, but this might not be clear in context]

Well, whatever... I miss anything? Brigade! ...Everyone else! Report!

[When she hears about certain goings on she might be more excited. Like say the cultural fair or if she decides to get a Hanami up or making Miyabi her shrine. As it is though she just says this, leaves the journal open, and goes back to making breakfast.]

[Voice]

It's a little warmer today...

[Daisy announced they were back a few days ago... no reason to dwell on that given it was so long ago. She could say something else about the mission but... no, off journals entirely she thinks would be best. So, in the end... she lets her mind wander just long enough to let out this beauty:]

You know, a play's been done, maybe this time I should set up another pageant? [Those old enough to remember Haruki's pageant might know what this means she dissolves into humming, and there's the sound of a pen working all through this public part. She's making the filter for the next part]

[Filter including SOS-Brigade Members, Shiki Ryougi, former Brigade members, Buffy, Sanji, housemates, and other people she likes* // Filtered against Mikuru]

[* - If you want to know if you're in the filter you can PM me I suppose but it's probably worth assuming you are if you're asking at all Anyway, she clears her throat for this one before]

All of you are cordially invited to a birthday party for Mikuru Asahina. Her birthday's on the tenth of March and [because she is bored enough to do this] we've going for a special Surprise Party! It's bring your own dish to pass despite being the surprise, so while I'll bring some things, be sure to bring your own gifts or food! It'll be in Room 1 of the Battle Dome, so consider that one reserved all of that day.

Invite your friends if you want but all creeps can and will be bounced!

[THERE. Now she can show off how she can program things better than the people who did that beach party. Humph]

[Voice // Filtered to Otonashi]

This is your last chance to apologize to maidkind. You have ten days.

[Also links this]

[Voice]

Okay, so listen up, everyone. There's a new girl in town who I want you all to recognize and keep something in mind when dealing with her!

[And then to the book, she holds up a picture of Mikuru (tpdd). Taken with the journal and ripped out - namely, it's just her making tea in a cute pink yukata. Something simple and non-invasive for the time being]

This is her - Mikuru Asahina. She's cute, right? Of course she is!


[And then this face]

If any of you guys are harassing her or hitting on her or whatever and I hear about it I'm reserving the right to pepper stray or taser you. You got that? I'm serious too, don't you doubt that for a second.

[...Okay no with that done with back to smiling! She laughs where briefly before-]

Now! If you want to see her or you just want to helped out - particularly all you New Feathers, bonus points if you have something interesting to show us - recall that the SOS-Brigade is open to taking requests even now. Now that the holidays are over and the winters settling in on us, now's the prime time to do it! Got some stuff which needs investigating? Some emotions you can't deal with, some other inane task we can mend when it comes to interpersonal issues?! Sign right up! the HQ's right in the center of town, you can't miss it.

[... Hm. Yeah that should do it Request post for the Brigade is here, just recall!]

-And for today anyone coming to see Mikuru I'm screening first.

[EDIT: For the record if anyone wants action threads with Mikuru (or Haruhi! or both!) for whatever reason both are at the HQ right now.]

[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!

[Filtered from Winry // 90% Unhackable]

[...] 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!

[Filtered from Kyon // 90% Unhackable]

[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.

( Brigade List )
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]

[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!

( IC explanation of the new Brigade structure )

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]

( for the current members )

[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.]

[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]

[Voice]

Three announcements, Luceti! In order of importance, so if you're listening at least stick around for the first one.

Number one: all of you show up at House 37 - that's the one in the square - on the night of the 13th - that's this Saturday, for those of you not getting the message. There'll be a special surprise Brigade-sponsored event that's been a long time coming!

[Okay, so it's super-late and she's actually a little bored of it by now but she did go to all the effort - or rather the Brigade did - to set it up. In light of that, she might as well try to get it off the ground. She informed the Brigade of her plans yesterday, as well as gave them some tasks for the night of. Even if it's not a success, she'll be annoyed, but with so many of the original people involved out of it... eh. Oh well]

Number two: If you don't know who the SOS-Brigade is, listen up! If you do, also listen up! We're Luceti's premiere source of fun and excitement, a bastion of entertainment and joy in a village filled with listeless people! And right now, we're recruiting! Talk to me if you want in, because I - Haruhi Suzumiya, chief of the SOS-Brigade - would be glad to see if you're up to it!

And finally, three: my birthday was on the 31st. In light of the circumstances around that time, I'll forgive any of you who forgot to give me gifts at that time [she means her friends, specifically, but doesn't clarify] so don't worry about it. Unless you feel a terrible guilt, then I'll take them late.

[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]

[Okay so she's still on the tailend of recovering from the cold she had when she came back from the draft, but by now the fever has (mostly) subsided and she no longer feels tired all the time which leads her to make an important announcement:]

Keiichi, come pick up your stupid boyfriend, he doesn't need to creep around my house and play nurse anymore! Or... Minako! You get over here and help me get him in a proper nurse uniform if he thinks he can hang around like this! Neku, you're a man, why haven't you kicked him out yet--

[And then there's a scramble because... Minato may or may not have taken note of her doing this. Fuuuuuh. Oh wait-]

Oh and Edward! Chime in!

[Aaaaand here she's forced away from her book :C She's been bedridden/otherwise kept mostly at or around home for a while now, so for Brigade people assume she has not been at meetings since she got back. And aside from her message that she was alive right when she got back (here) she hasn't exactly gone out of her way to contact anyone.

So anyone can tag even aside from the summoned people]

[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]

[This voice comes on in the earlyish morning, probably about 9am or less]

Hey - that battle dome has a way to simulate a maximum power limit, right? The same way they have it in the tunnels? Superpowers are great and all, but as it stands if I'm going to- well, the point is I need people to be down to a reasonably human level.

[...Human level] Actually, for that matter, Sokka, chime in.

Also- is anyone else thinking about making boats for that ocean this summer?

[...Okay that'll do. Next-]

[Filtered to the Brigade]

Naturally, prep work on the project takes priority. We're been making some headway already, but I'll be expecting your best work in the coming week and I assume we'll be done by Friday of next week at very latest with getting the walls down and making things fit together right! We'll begin furnishing after that! I expect the best!

[Also for those that didn't yet, see here for my intel on this OOCly like.

...And then of course, this all goes up in the morning because Sunday is her day for Winry. Going to her house around noon is go, and then they're off to Ammy's hill after that so if people want to intercept or something PM I guess /opens]

[Naoki she knows what's up. Keiichi... just no. Hanyuu and Rena are with Keiichi. Minako is with her twin. No need to ask about any of them]

...SOS-Brigade! We didn't have one today and we won't have our customary Saturday lunch either, but starting next week, meetings are on again! Be sure to show up, and being late will result in a harsh penalty! No mistakes, got it?! The snow's been melting left and right already, and today is even hotter than all the other days so far, right?! So pretty soon it's going to be spring, and we've got lots of important things to do in spring! And for that matter, anyone else who has a mystery or something for us to deal with who who plans to in the future, drop us a line! You can't miss us!

Over and out!

[And then, well, there's one more message she needs to address now. She's (finally) hanging out in her Brigade room if anyone for some reason will be there in the afternoon and early evening to bump into her there]

...Hey.

[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 + 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]
