Well, as expected, I have to say that the lake party was an unqualified success! Everyone had a blast and had important happenings and meetings, right?! You all tried Arthur's sandwiches too right? I mean those things were delicious and as ordered he did bring them in bulk. The iced tea was good too.

You all can expect more excellent showings from the SOS-Brigade! Our upcoming play! That karaoke party! (with props to Rosalie for the idea) Perhaps even a beauty contest! After all, there's a lot of attractive people here and some excellent clothes-makers!

Anyway, SOS-Brigade! You'll be getting the full details and script at the meeting today, but so everyone else knows: as mentioned previously, the SOS-Brigade is putting on a production of A Journey to the West whenever Mitsuru gets that stage and crew set up! I expect the best out of all the people working in tandem with us, but for now these are the roles in question in the finalized form!:
( Roles in question )

Which reminds me... SOS-Brigade! I expect you all to give a proper welcome to our two newest members today: Shion and Yuzu-2! Excel, bring something to celebrate with. I expect a cake or something. Oh, and Kaito! SOS-Brigade, we now have our own vocaloid! Kaito, I expect you to report in too!

-Speaking of; Shiki, were the hell are you? I haven't seen you all day?

[Anyway, SOS-Brigade members new and old I suggest you read or re-read this, as I've updated it. Rika and Hanyuu in particular now have their expectations paragraphs up, so you might wanna see it. Also for everyone, I've finally finished updating his relationships post, but if I missed your character THERE ARE SIXTY-THREE ON THERE SHIT feel free to give me heads-up]

Okay Brigaders, we're moving out to the lake today! Failure to report as ordered will result in a penalty! So Osaka, Excel, Leo-Kitty (assuming you're not dead or something), Ahiru, Killua, Rena, Bunny, and Naoya, you're all expected to come!

Rue, you're less expected, but if you know what's good for you, you'll show up too.

Bunny, bring the robot-arm with you. If you need help lugging it, then call out Killua 'cus he's probably strong.

Ahiru, did you talk to your boyfriend about it yet?

Excel, bring all the snacks and stuff.

Oh and Naoya! You are expected to show despite being a new member! This is your chance to meet the rest of the Brigade, so failure to come will result in a harsh penalty!

Are your order understood?! Good. Then let's get moving!

...Oh, right. Has anyone seen a red-headed assassin with a girl's name and an eyepatch? I've not seen him the last few days...

[ OOC: Okay guyz, it's finally time for the lake retreat. I personally think some log or action thread with various interactions at it might be fun, but if you're busy or whatever we could assume it too? Basically, Haruki's forcing everyone in the Brigade to show up for some combination of a swimming and camping trip, but towards the end of it he's going to have everyone go hunt Yuffie. So uh, thoughts?

Oh, and my OOC apologies to Noaya's player. After talking with him, Haruki officially considered Noaya to be 'his' Feel free to ICly protest or whatever. ]

[There's still slight slurring in his voice, but you can make out what he's saying]

Oh, this is awesome! Green hair is a little mundane, but it certainly livens up the mood really fast! And seeing that geezer [That's you, Senel. ...Lol] with green hair is just classic! Oi, SOS-Brigade, I think we need to step up and make our own Luceti-wide prank in future!

Speaking of which...ATTENTION REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE SOS-BRIGADE! Our numbers have been thinned a lot recently, and the only new recruit we have at the moment is Osaka. Other than that, I've lost two maids, a cat-boy, and all sorts of other things! Well, now that your glorious leader has finally recovered I think it's about time for that lake retreat. Be ready to move out in two days, complete with tents and food, and I'll even forgive those of you that failed to get me anything while I was in the clinic! Do I make myself clear?!

Ahiru, that means that you should clear things up with your boyfriend now

That said, We should also get together a baseball team. Don't you think that would be awesome?! But we'll need more people for baseball, so...

ATTENTION NON-EMO-DEMON MEMBERS OF LUCETI!! THIS IS HARUKI SUZUMIYA, THE ULTRA-DIRECTOR OF THE SOS-BRIGADE WITH AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! The divinely-inspired SOS-Brigade is once more recruiting members for its ranks! We seek to ensure that all people here lead interesting and fun lives, and seek out the strangest of the strange things to be found in Luceti! You know... things which don't have to do with the damn aliens.

Oh, that reminds me! Do there happen to by any telepaths laying around that I could talk to?

...Hey, Kyonko. How's your idiot friend?

[Written]

Hey, I think it was Sheena and Excel! I owe both of you some favor, so make note of that! I'll repay that dept to Sheena, but in your case, Excel, you get one free-pass from a penalty. I'll make a pass, and if you stop by you both can pick those up.

I'm currently saying at the clinic for recovery of wounds from my stay with the aliens! Anyway... All members of the SOS-Brigade, you're hereby required to bring a get-well gift to me, like Kyonko said. Failure to do so will result in a penalty. Naturally, we'll be delaying the retreat a bit until I've recovered.

Rena! Bring a board game over here or something. I'm so bored.

Bunny, don't you work here or something?! Sheesh, shouldn't you come check in on me? I need to talk to someone other than her

Oh, and Ahiru, err... how're you holding up?

[For Kyonko // 80% Hackable]

That soup wasn't bad. Now, if I could've just moved my jaw properly as exposed to you needing to feed me. I need to get ambidextrous faster.

[Voice Post]
That darkness thing lasted way too long, and had the worst possible timing. Seriously, aliens, couldn't you at least be remotely considerate? Jeez.

Members of the SOS-Brigade, report back in now! We had a set-back, but the lake retreat is still on. Provided you guys aren't being bored and useless, we'll go going out in a few days now. And after that, we need to get to work right away on that festival thing before the aliens decide they need to up and get in the way... again.

That reminds me! If anyone sees some weird ghost-girl thing who seems to think that murder is cool and looks sort of like Sadako, don't be too worried or anything. She might be a malignant spirit, but she's my maid -- which reminds me, if anyone knows how you can force her into a more proper outfit for that, or for that matter knows where one can find a suitably eerie maid outfit for her, please come forward!

EDIT: ( [Private to 'Misa' // 50% Unhackable] )

Okay Brigade members! We're going to leave for our retreat tomorrow at high noon. Don't be late or you can expect a terrible penalty! Excel, you better have all the supplies in place, and everyone else better have gotten the other items I told you to get... which means you better have carried out your penalty, Bunny.

So Ritsu-Kitty, what's the story with your guardian? Same goes to you, Rue.

Oh... and Kyonko, seeing as how Koizumi decided to disappear or something, I probably won't be back for an hour or three. Need to go find that path myself...

And jeez, geezer Senel! Is that hair getting to your head and making you senile or something? I asked you a question before. It's a simple one too. Are you going to teach me how to fight properly yet or not?! The least you could do is give an answer!

Oh... and is anyone familiar with this 'Filial Magic' stuff? I've been trying to work it out, but someone showing me the theory behind it would mean I'll learn it that much faster! I'd really appreciate the assistance!

Also, citizens of Luceti, expect something amazing soon!

Oh, right...
