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]

[Voice]

[...There's a small awkward cough, and then...] Oi! SOS-Brigade! We've been slacking off for way too long, it's time to get back for regular meetings! I expect all of you to report to the clubroom today because it's going to be a birthday celebration for Bunny, one of our senior members! I expect all of you to get her a gift and I expect all of you to bring some kinda dish! We're going to make this the biggest celebration she's ever had, as is only fitting of Luceti's infamous SOS-Brigade!

Also, for all those of you who are still in the dark-ages: The SOS-Brigade the greatest club ever invented, made to seek out the mysteries of this world and spread fun to everyone here who is in desperate need of it! What with all the kidnappings lately, that really needs to happen soon, so everyone look forward to our next event!

...Jeez it's hot today. Oi! Walter! You finish that window yet? Better have... Oh and Shiki? Where the hell are you?! Jeez... Didn't come home last night and it's only your first week here?

[Written]

And then for those of you that are like "OH I WANT TO JOIN HOW CAN I?" It's simple! Just talk to me, the divinely-inspired infamous overlord of the SOS-Brigade, Haruki Suzumiya! As for everyone else in the BRigade? This is our current roster:

Haruki: Untouchable, unquestioned Chief

Rena: Honorary vice-chief

Bunny: Senior member/Brigade-nurse
Al: Senior member/Brigade-trap
Excel: Senior member/Brigade-eyecandy
Uriko: Senior member/Brigade-kickass

Tai: Noteworthy member
McKura: Senior-citizen member
Arthur: British member

Hanyuu: Brigade member
Rika: Brigade member
Yuzuriha: Brigade member

Also at this party I expect everyone to welcome Rika and Hanyuu! I would say Yuzuriha but... After all, they're our newest members! I also expect you all to congrat Rena for her promotion! [Ignoring that this Rena is a new recruit. Older members probably recall the previous Rena]

Over and out!

People of Luceti! You all like that barbecue, right?! Remember that it was put on by the glorious SOS-Brigade! Don't you forget it! If any of you have experienced strange happens, are experiencing strange happenings, or plan to experience strange happenings in the new future, drop by our office, due to open tomorrow in the center of town!

Also if anyone is interested in joining, pipe up now! Our current members include myself, the leader, god_is_a_dude!

We also have totallynot, prosaical, moon_bunnies, sandwichofdoubt, goggle_syndrome, 2ndunitcaptain, sing_thrush, kenpo_kitty, and last but not least, alchemielemon! However, we are always looking for more minions!

[Filtered to the SOS-Brigade + Hanyuu]

Hey guys! Excellent work on the bonfire, I think that might've just aced our festival back in the fall! We got a smile on everyone's faces and we got to see some really interesting stuff! However, we can't drop the ball now!

I've revised the plays a bit more now, and it's still on! I'll be giving you a revised script in due time but more importantly, it's time for us to set up a new official headquarters! There's a building in the town square that no one's using and we're going to claim that one! We're going to get that done by the end of the day and then...

Well we all deserve our own private party, right?! Failure to report will result in a penalty!

...Also Hanyuu. Wanna join us as an official member?

[Voiced]

ALRIGHT LUCETI!


A lot of you probably heard the suggest of my Brigade member, Bunny, for a full-on village-wide barbeque! Well I'm telling you all right now that this idea, property of the SOS-Brigade, is on! All members of the SOS-Brigade, you can ignore that script for now, and I want you on various tasks! What we're gunna do is make the biggest bonfire ever in that lot a little outside House sixteen! Everyone in the village will be invited and I expect this thing ready to go by Friday!

Excel, you keep advertising this! I've got new outfits at the house!

Hanyuu, Kyonko, and Bunny! You three girls are on food detail! Figure out what we're gonna cook and help us cook it!

Mai, Uriko, Arthur, and Tai! You guys collect us firewood. We're going to need a ton of it.

Al, McKura! You're with me. We're gunna dig the pit and get the stones and stuff ready to put on the best damn show ever.

And Oi! Whoever was organizing that band a while ago, come need my now please!

Whoever else wants to help with this, please step forward! We're going to make this a celebration to remember!

[For the record, House 16 is Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Rosalie Hale's place. They're free to protest but I doubt you can stop him]

[Voiced]
Oi, McKura! Hanyuu too, 'cus I think you're back sorry I haven't visited, busy... You're gunna help me out on a project of mine, got it?! And no complaints! Good! I'll get your plot overviews to you today!

...Anyone seen Leon around? I know he hides a lot but jeez now he's gone missing or something when I told him we were gunna hang out. He's got two days to be seen and/or respond to this before I bust down his door. Alright?

Oh and if anyone sees a girl named "Haruhi Suzumiya" she's some slider whose taken my form but made it female; ignore her. But don't hurt her or anything; jeez.

( [For Uriko, Usagi, Alphonse, Ahiru, Taichi, Excellen, Zell, Kyonko, Shinpachi and Hanyuu] )

[...Please forgive me, because my knowledge of A Journey To the West, despite actually owning (translated) versions of the novel/poem thing itself at my house is superficial at best and in order to put on a play he's putting on an incredibly abridged version. Please note I'm also using the Japanese readings of the names as opposed to the Chinese versions because #1 they look more sensible to all of us and #2 to make a bad Saiyuki-based joke. This is the same reason Kougaiji is even included in this. Gyumoah too. So yeah, my apologies to anyone who is actually familiar with the original work as a disclaimer. This thing won't be much like it at all, lol. Much like Saiyuki it'll have a superficial resemblance as well as namejacking

Lol long OOC comment.]

[Voiced]
...Hey, anyone seen Hanyuu? She up'n never got over to my place. Geezer, check the closets at your place. And Granny's missing too... Shitshitshit AND EVERYONE BETTER STILL BE LOOKING FOR RIKA, RIGHT? Small, blue-ish hair, female. She's Hanyuu's cousin and there's no way we're gunna let her up'n vanish.

...Right. And if any of you see a slightly boring looking girl with a long pigtail, she's mine, got it? That goes double for you, Phones. And this Tamaki guy.

( [For Uriko, Usagi, Alphonse, Ahiru, Taichi, Excellen, Zell, Kyonko, and Leon] )

[Voiced]

I gotta say, having tits is kinda awesome. Now were the hell is Kyonko, this is pissing me off. Oh well, at least the injuries don't feel as bad in this one...

Oi, Leon, Uriko, everyone in the SOS-Brigade! Report in now and tell me what's up with you! Except Bunny 'cus if I heard right earlier she's now some kinda' psycho bitch or something.

[Voiced // probably insulting to people's ears]
ATTENTION EVERYONE! You all enjoying this festival? You better have, seeing as how my minions put forth so much effort into this! Well, we, the SOS-Brigade, as to not disappoint, do intend to show off everyone with a bang. So we ask you, people of Luceti, to mark off your calenders for tomorrow night, when are final big performance will go down.

They're'll be food, they're'll be a bonfire, they're'll be dance, they're'll be singing, they're'll be music, they're'll be sexy costumes, and most importantly, thanks to our own Leo-kitty, there'll be FIREWORKS!

So if you want to have fun, you better be there

Oh, and that reminds me -- major props to Uriko for doing so damn well in that tournament!

( [For the SOS-Brigade] )

[Action]

[And now for what Haruki's doing now. Haruki has set up what, to many, will probably be the single most satisfying booth at the entire festival. Namely, he's rigged up a little game-booth in which he's sitting on a chair over a pool of water. It's made of wood and stone, but it's one of those "hit the target" deals. The target is pretty small and pretty distant, but who wouldn't want to try to get this guy wet? The price is odd though. The price says, quite simply--

"SHOW OFF ONE TALENT BEFORE TOSSING" (shown on a sign at the "throwing station" in big red letter)

There's no balls on the counter, only in his hands, and there's a door into the contraption for easy-access. He's got the balls in on. This should be fun for anyone who wants to get a good jab at this guy]

Oi, everyone!

As my minion just made clear, the SOS-Brigade will soon be giving you a Fall festival, but what good's a party if you don't all participate?! We might be bringing you the best time you'll ever have in Luceti, but even the divinely inspired SOS-Brigade can't make things fun for people who just want to be grouches and brood and generally be boring and stuff.

THAT SAID-- We need more people cooking stuff. I mean right now we got everyone counting on Kotori and Granny, but that's just lame. So any of you with culinary skill or just wanting to bring in some food, you better do that! I expect only the best!

I also expect you to be leading the dance afterwards, Ahiru.

Oh, and thanks a lot to the skeleton guy. Bastard... thinks he can steal our thunder... we'll show him! This festival will be ten times better than that Halloween bash! Oi, Bunny's boyfriend, Leo-Kitty! You guys helped me set up some light earlier, but we got some more to set up. And Leo-kitty, did you do anything about finding fireworks yet?

...Oh, that reminds me. School. It's so boring, I can't believe someone wants us to go to school here... Why on earth was that test so damn easy?

Oh, and Uriko, Excel, report in! I've got something special for you two.

[...For the record, the test wasn't easy at all; Haruki just happens to be reall intelligent even if he doesn't always seem it. If any of your characters took the test and thought it was easy or hard or whatever, feel free to respond to this.

Also, you did not just see that tagfail.]

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO IS IMPORTANT OR COOL IN LUCETI!

We, the SOS-Brigade, will be putting out your coming Fall Festival for your entertainment, with the help of some guy named Aang, an idiot named Neku, and two Irish people who are posting to being Japanese historical figures (McKura and some useless guy named Tetsu)! We ask you all to cheer up, keep out of our way, and await our heads-up on the final date of our festival! We also ask any and all people who are able or willing to be acts in this festival to step forth now!

Thank you for your attention, but I know what some of you may be thinking: 'What is the SOS-Brigade? I mean I've of it being the most amazing thing ever, and I know this to be true, what what exactly is it? Who's a part of it other than that handsome and charismatic lead of theirs that I know about? How can I join?' Well today is your lucky day, because this is what the SOS-Brigade is all about!

Spreading Excitement all Over the World with Haruki Suzumiya Brigade
Or SOS-Brigade for short.
( Cut for tl;dr )

I'm glad that's understood! Now, SOS-Brigade, report in now for your specific tasks for the upcoming festival; failure to do so will result in a harsh penalty! Additionally-- Al, Bunny, and Excel, report in on how recruitment went and inform me of any members who have ignorantly not reported in to me yet! Understood? Excellent.

( [Filtered to Hokuto // 80% Unhackable] )

Alright, SOS-Brigade, it's time for a role call! Please respond on a timely basis or expect a penalty!

( For the SOS-Brigade )

...That reminds me. Geezer! Senel! Whatever your name is... rematch? Or at least a spar, I'll show you my improvement!

...On that note, can anyone here heal up a busted left hand?

EDIT: All all Brigaders, please welcome our newest recruit, Uriko!
