[Voiced // Action]

[Haruki here sounds so, so, so, tired and beat up in general here, but he's going to all the same be staggering back into town after being lost alone in the woods and/or mountains for the last whatever, likely the last two days seeing as how he recalls things "finishing" on the 20th. In his hand he's got a journal-made photograph of Leon (the one from Star Ocean 2) and he's got himself covered in various cuts/bruises.

He's also got his spare arm holding his side, which still really smarts As the same, as he stops to pick up his journal (which he dropped hap-hazardly into a little hole in one of the trees two days ago, he's going to give a pained by triumphant whoop into it when he activates the voice]

Mission accomplished! Hah! ...SOS-Brigade, we're having a special meeting tomorrow. A celebration at Seventh Heaven and no one is allowed to not short. Ellise, we'll do the contest there. Bunny, if you could pick me up at the forest that would be great, I think I'm right by that barracks.

[Grunt, and then a light thud as he leans against the tree he's been talking at here. This hurts a lot more than he thought and more importantly, he's really hungry, haven not eaten properly for the last few days. Still, he's smiling]

Oh, and did anyone lose a gun that won't shoot? I found one.

Shion! Al! You better not have skimped on the penalty just because I wasn't around! ...Rena, I hope you kept them in line!

[He's going to grunt here... and then slide onto his butt. Sleep is good, yes. Or at least rest]

( OOC Explanation )

ALRIGHT LUCETI! The contest results are in; all the judges votes are counted and the popular vote tallies are in! Thus, we have two winners in each bracket!

( Judge's results )

Oi, SOS-Brigade. What the hell're you doing losing like that? Al! You're going to have a harsh penalty! You too, Shion! Jeez. You were supposed to win this whole thing! I expected better from you people.

As such, the winners of the Judge's scores and therefore the titles of Miss and "Miss" Luceti go to Hayato Gokudera and Stella Coolidge! Congrats! You guys will be getting one free favor each from the SOS-Brigade as well as a box of cupcakes! The runners up (Aerith and Tifa in the Miss bracket; Emil and Faize in the "Miss" bracket) will get a consolation prize: one cupcake each.

Now, as to the popular vote our two winners are unsurprisingly Emil Castagnier and surprisingly Patchouli Knowledge! You guys win the fabulous prize of one date run by and sponsored by the SOS-Brigade!

...Dammit, Tai. That's- Oi. Anyone seen Shiki around?

[For the record Shiki has officially been Sho-napped as of last night. No one should be aware of this yet so you won't have seen her]

[Accidental Written]

[This wasn't written in the journal, but rather on a piece of paper that Haruki then stuck in his journal in frustration. Because of this, before he properly shut it the journal took a "photo" of the paper the same way that it is supposed to take photos of people's faces while making entries. Thus while shadows cover some of it, there is an incomplete passage which can be read:]

-- And here Cloud hesitated. This was, after all, not what he had intended. He had merely intended to see how the woman in front of him was doing. Planning to... He wasn't sure anymore. He only saw one thing in front of him at that was the blonde woman in front of him. The beautiful blonde woman who was stepping out of the shower... naked. This woman who he knew wasn't supposed to, wasn't--

Time seemed to be standing still as Cloud stared at Stella's exposed chest. Senel was kid-- oh right that was is. That was way he had come. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, so with a furious blush he looked away. Stella to her credit didn't say anything. However...

[Anything after this is heavily crossed out because he wasn't satisfied with it and then there is a note in the margins that says "She wouldn't cheat."]

[Action]

[Haruki shut his journal with a snort. He had been looking at old entries of Cloud and Stella to help with his writing, but he just wasn't feeling it. Not to mention that his current work was too OOC to really be either of them. This sucked. This place was SO BORING. He sighed and flopped onto the main table of House #10, melancholy and thinking too much and bored. He hated it here, so much.

Anyone in House #10 (Kyonko, Rena, Hanyuu) or anyone stopping by there feel free to poke him]
