[ Action ]

[ So Winry is gone.

And Edward Elric. And then some voice messages show that Trisha and Hohenheim are both gone as well. Really, that one woman at the smithy who Leon knows already mentioned Winry and anyone who wants to or cares to and look into Trisha or Edward themselves. For her part, she just needed to do something. Genuinely not sure how to handle all of them being gone, she sort of flanders around some of the day - until she resolves to do something. The night sky will be clear tonight (at least around the SOS-Brigade's HQ, thanks her powers) as she collects every single firework the Brigade still has in its storage left. She'll be emptying it, yes, but who cares. Thus, most of her afternoon is spent setting it all up in the back yard of the HQ. And then come sundown- she lights them off.

Small ones, big ones. A few mortars. The full extent of what Leon's made for them. In the midst of the show (which might last the upwards of an hour and half-ish) Haruhi opens up her journal, and speaking loudly into it, she explains:]

[ Voice ]

Amestris is no longer represented here in Luceti - and this is a celebration of that fact! [ Because what else can she say? Do? Feel? Winry at least will finally be having her children soon enough ] And besides that fact, I've got something else to say! What's allowing this show to be put on is the ingenuity of the SOS-Brigade! The same SOS-Brigade which is looking to make sure everyone here on this planet leads a worthwhile life until they get sent back! Or until this world sees its end!

And starting tomorrow, the SOS-Brigade is recruiting - Even if you don't want to join the Luceti branch, I suggest you stop by the HQ for more information, so you can accomplish something as long as you're here in Luceti.

[ you can also run into her outside the HQ that night as she's setting everything off and it's being loud and bright and stuff ]

[ Action 2 ]

[ True to her word, this whole day is spent with her in the SOS-Brigade's HQ. She is waiting inside at the front desk, waiting for people to come in. She would have been outside but... it's cold still. And on the door are two posters: one of them is this one and the second is an older poster she found sitting around the HQ.

So come on in. Come and hear her out. Maybe she'll even lecture if a lot of people show up. Not that she's totally expecting anyone too. She's just trying to get this moving and stave off her own growing loneliness. ]

[ Also!!: If anyone has/will be recruiting for the Brigade on missions or drafts, it would be awesome if you would/will reply here so I can keep a tally. ]

[ Voice // October 27th ]

Is this thing still working-- yeah, I think it is. Kyon?

[Some scrambled text which is clearly a test filter and then a much more somber note hits her. Oh...]

-Kyon's gone. Home, I mean, unless these things are bugged out here. If anyone sees him, tell me.

[ Action // All the Days (October 27th - November 2nd) ]

[ Haruhi managed to almost, almost escape and hide from the first wave of droids. Not quite though, and ultimately she was taken along with the rest of her house. Which resulted in her being... here. The moon, and Malnosso World. And you know what, it's not as bad as it could be. Actually, no, for October? This is great, unless something is going to end up going horribly wrong at the last moment. Which she is wary for, particularly around Halloween itself, but for the most part...

The first few days, Haruhi is situating herself in the trip. Going out and having fun (mostly in Casino Land or Thrill Land, though she goes everywhere), trying to spend time with friends, and trying to find Kyon. This makes up most of her days, but come night- she makes a realization. She is (technically) allowed to go into the districts of the other enclosures. It's not like she came stocked beyond what's in her purse normally, but she can go and talk with them, hear their experiences, and maybe even recruit a few into her Brigade. And so, to mixed results, she tries to do just that: hang out at other enclosures in the night, go out and have fun on the park during the day.

Sometimes this alternates (most notably, on Halloween itself, Haruhi can only be found in Junior Land because of both discovering dinosaurs and figuring it's least likely for people to mess with kids on that day) and she might well invite people to come with her to the Lands (particularly Bubble Land which she does not want to solo) or the other districts with her, but damn if she isn't spending as much time as she can doing something during this whole trip. Well, except baseball - if she runs into any ball toss games or batting games she's so out of there. Or ball players.

... And she assures you, it has nothing to do with how lonely it is to be the only one from North High left in Luceti. She's used to that. Totally. That's not at all why she's trying to spend time with people even as she's doing these errands. (it is though: feel free to assume you've been dragged or invited to either ride rides, play games, or chat up people from other enclosures. ...Or help her try to find SCUBA equipment. That too)]

( too many explanations [potential action for housemates )

[Filtered from Minato and Keiichi // Voice // 85% Unhackable]

[In a much happier voice than anyone is probably expecting:] Kurt, Tacihi, Leon, Mikage, Uriko, [because she doesn't know she's gone yet] Yoohoo, Anne- status reports?

[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]

[Filtered to Minato // 85% Unhackable]

...Hey.

[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.]
