[SO HOUSEMATES (Neku and Shiki, basically) might have noticed there is a new addition to the house. Namely there is a large-ish TV with a DVD player and a speaker or two in the main room. There is also a large-ish collection of Disney DVDs there. This means-]

Oi! Winry! C'mon over to my place today.

[...Hm. Something he's been wondering about lately comes to mind as soon as he finishes with that decidedly leading message which he may or may not get grief for being public. He drums his fingers before pressing with:]

...Y'know, without Rohan printing his manga here - or that paper from a long while back - there hasn't been much in the way of creativity from people in a written format. [He seems to recall someone else said something similar a few weeks ago. ...Oh well] Maybe the Brigade should hold some kinda contest for that... [...HMM.] Or I could- nah. Last time... [He gets a flashback to Senel punching him. This makes him shudder and then give up on that idea]

Well, whatever. Maybe a contest later on.

[Before anything else, Haruki puts up a rather paranoid filter on the whole entry. One he works very had at creating because, well... he's got his reasons, really. The end result is that:]

[Voice // Filtered from Pride // 98% Unhackable]

...Alright, first things first As many of you probably know, Luceti's own number one idol, Miichan of the SOS-Brigade is having a birthday party tomorrow! SOS-Brigade, you're required to attend! Blue Rogues, you guys ought to come too! For that matter, so should everyone else! I've taken the liberty of setting everything up so all you need is presents! After all, this is a girl's fourteenth birthday; set it up to be something awesome, alright?!

It'll be tomorrow, behind the Brigade building. I expect a good turnout, is that understood?!

[He sighs there and shakes his head. Alright, good enough. But then, considering something... he's got something else he kinda wnts to gloat about but isn't sure if he should... and maybe he's obligated to tell some other people. Anyone listening to this might notice him humming, of all things this song during this pause.]

...Y'know. [Should he say it? He laughs and then cuts off] Nah, nevermind.

But he should say something to a few people. He feels obligated to after that bit with Luka. ...Sokka? No, Winry will tell him, right? But he wants to tell him anyway. He needs to tell Shiki though. And Keiichi because he'll freak out. ...And Guy? Maybe Guy. Dammit this whole having friends thing is complicated. In the end, however-]

Oi! Guys! I've got something to tell you guys. [...But then as soon as he makes this entry he might lose his nerve? Oh well]

[Voice+Drawn]

[First things first, at the top of this entry is a drawn approximation of a symbol that a lot of people will have probably seen in on the sign of the HQ in town.]


For those of you new or not aware, somehow, this is the symbol for the illustrious SOS-Brigade, a club dedicated to finding the mysteries of this world as well as ensuring that people within it lead a worthwhile existence. We're even in the guide, so at least try to show some braincells about it! We're going to be accepting new applicants now, so show up if you're interested.

[Yes, he knows that's weak as opposed to usual but... well, he doesn't care right now]

Same for clients! If you have a mystery, have had a mystery before, or think you will in the future, come to us and we'll work it out.

[A little beat before- oh right...]

One more thing! Anyone who has any special foods from home that they would like cooked, speak up now! For that matter, I expect numerous answers for this!

[Action]

[And then, last but not least, Haruki's got some things to attend to regardless of if people answer or not. Sure he'll be hanging around the club-room most of the day, but he's also going to be hitting up... wherever Winry is to try to find her. He's kinda not really talked with her much since... then. He figures he ought to try. He didn't see a point giving her a heads-up on the journal either. So he will be around town but mostly for the search.]

[Action]

[Well, Luceti. We have come to the twenty first and as such on this last day of AUs, someone who had been avoiding them for the whole time is now taken by then... albeit they don't know it, as per everyone else. That is to say...

Haruhi Suzumiya is all up in your business.

She's wondering why none of her clothes seem to fit her, but it's nothing she can't handle! Thus, in the morning you might see her in baggy clothing (fit for Haruki) until she busts open All Passions and robs out a nice top and shorts and stuff and then sets off for her usual rounds. Seventh Heaven, of course the Brigade room. The plaza... you know, the usual. One might run into her at any of those places or, later on when she finally gives up on anything being interesting today-]

[Voice]

Uuugh, who would have thought everyone going nuts would be so boring. [Of course the voice is now Aya Hirano WENDEE LEE which is better?? feminine and not at all like Haruki's. But the tone is the same, at least.

And yeah, this AU is... extremely self-evident but here just for you on the last day of the event! All memories of Luceti are almost exactly the same too so have fun with her and such. I figured I had to make this happen for a while at least. Voice or action or both go for it.]

[Voice]

[This post is done on the fly, clearly, as he's setting out to do something else. Accompanied with his voice is the sounds of him putting on boots and throwing some stuff into a backpack]

Oi! SOS-Brigade, assuming you didn't hear them or missed their introductions at the meetings, as a result of our superior efforts of recruitment we have taken in three new members: Garnet - that little girl, Dizzy - that absent-minded looking girl, and of course Hinata - that new moe girl. [Who he has yet to torment, him. After he says Hinata's name he considers and-] Al, she might force you our of a job, actually.

[FOR THE RECORD: If your character wanted in but didn't talk to him, they aren't considered on the roster even if they have been walking in on meetings or whatever. If you want to arrange them having talked with him or talking to him now or something, that's fine. If they have been sitting in without talking to him alone that's fine too, just give me a heads-up here or in a PM or something please.]

That said, he next thing we should do is promote Miu's status; few people even know she's an idol. What kinda crap manager does she have, anyway?

[Well, whatever. Okay, got this on, and this. There's a dark mutter of something like "No one gave you permission to leave, Naoki" but he rolls with it]

Shiki, Neku, Rena, Chikane - I won't be back for dinner probably, so fend for yourselves and/or make Chikane or Rena do it. They can handle it.

[...Oh right-] Oh, right. Adell, Luka, I'm going to be meeting the two of you somewhere tonight. Ping in to figure out where.

[There's then some dark mutter which wounds suspiciously like "she better be up" because I mean, come on he waited until noon. He stuffs his journal in the bag after that and heads off to Winry's house first. It's time for Winry Day]

[Voice]

Whats with these idiots and causing something like this; it's not even a mystery, jeez. Oi! Oi! Luceti!

Many of your are Japanese, and furthermore some of you have addressed a desire for a Hanami - a flower viewing - as per the staple of Japanese culture. Many more of you are friends with Japanese. Some of you are just plain bored. Well we, the SOS-Brigade, stand forth now to tell you that your boring days will be getting a reprieve into something worthwhile; something interesting!

But how is a Hanami possible, you might ask. After all, there are no Sakura trees in Luceti. However! That too is a falsehood, because due to an alliance with the great sun goddess Amaterasu, the SOS-Brigade has managed to procure a private Sakura grove [Okay so it's just five trees on a hill but he doesn't need to tell anyone that] for use in this endeavor. On top of that, we will be providing sake, dumplings, potato chips, and music for this event! There will even be a [big trampoline] jump land for those who desire to use it!

This Saturday, north of the village past the end of the path, there will be a flower viewing hosting by the SOS-Brigade! All others are free and encouraged to attend this event! Recall well that this honor is given to your freely by me, Haruki Suzumiya, divine overlord of the SOS-Brigade and personal ally of Amaterasu.

You are free to ask for further clarification now. SOS-Brigade, await your orders!

[For the record, what he's doing a somewhat continuation of what is started here and he is referencing Ammy's tree. Ammy's tree (which is now four smaller trees going up to one large tree on a hill) is a semi-well-known landmark by now but because it's not on the map yet with approval from Kukki I've made a quickie map for it here]

[ALSO. OOC VOTING TIME. Would people prefer this to be in Haruki's journal or the logs comm? Either way it'll be open action script, but the logs seems to be hip these days]

Oi, Yuki, I got a special assignment for you.
