godbent | 17th: The Knowledge of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice]

Three announcements, Luceti! In order of importance, so if you're listening at least stick around for the first one.

Number one: all of you show up at House 37 - that's the one in the square - on the night of the 13th - that's this Saturday, for those of you not getting the message. There'll be a special surprise Brigade-sponsored event that's been a long time coming!

[Okay, so it's super-late and she's actually a little bored of it by now but she did go to all the effort - or rather the Brigade did - to set it up. In light of that, she might as well try to get it off the ground. She informed the Brigade of her plans yesterday, as well as gave them some tasks for the night of. Even if it's not a success, she'll be annoyed, but with so many of the original people involved out of it... eh. Oh well]

Number two: If you don't know who the SOS-Brigade is, listen up! If you do, also listen up! We're Luceti's premiere source of fun and excitement, a bastion of entertainment and joy in a village filled with listeless people! And right now, we're recruiting! Talk to me if you want in, because I - Haruhi Suzumiya, chief of the SOS-Brigade - would be glad to see if you're up to it!

And finally, three: my birthday was on the 31st. In light of the circumstances around that time, I'll forgive any of you who forgot to give me gifts at that time [she means her friends, specifically, but doesn't clarify] so don't worry about it. Unless you feel a terrible guilt, then I'll take them late.

It's fine.

[haruhi says this quickly, just... admiring it. She's right, there's basically no chance of these flavors]

Good. Then let's cut it instead of staring...oh wait! [And she's rushing to the other side of the kitchen, yanking open a drawer where she'd stored birthday candles. She's driving them into the cake then before retrieving the lighter and lighting them up.] I'm not a great singer so I'll spare you that, but you get a wish anyway.

Oh. ...Sure, thanks.

[And she gets up a bit to lean over the cake once it's lit. She considers a moment. A wish, huh? ...No, that's stupid. Deciding quickly, she just blows them out in one breath]

[Let her have her fun. She claps her hands and begins immediately removing the candles.] I know we should wait for Beat and Neku, but I really don't feel like it. [Thus. There is cake-cutting happening and handing over a piece.]

You sure?

[But she doesn't mind. :|a]

Of course I'm sure. Not my fault they're missing out.

Fine, fine. [And she takes the cake piece from Shiki, and then goes and takes a bite for it first to allow Shiki to do it]

[Cutting her own slice here and putting it on a plate...annnd taking a bite.] ...awesome, it's not frostbitten. I was kind of worried about that.

Yeah, it's a bit solid still, but nothing too bad.

[With a nod of approval, even]

Didn't think so. And now that you have your cake, I feel better about handing off your presents.

Okay...? [Nom. nom. Cake.]

And you're not allowed to get mad at the first present. I had the fabric laying around and had to do something with it.

That doesn't sound promising.

Oh relax, will you? [And she's shoving a bag at her that she carried from the porch inside with them. Because really, it's not weird to give your best friend satin lingerie for her birthday, right?] Consider it something for you and Winry both.

[And looking...... oh. No, it's not weird at all but] Wow, this actually looks sexy.

Okay you say that like it's such a shocker. Come on. I've made lingerie a few times before, I've gotten better at working with fine material.

...but I figured it'd be a good color on you. [It's actually similar to the color of her hair ribbon so that might not work as well as she hopes, but.]

Well it'll sort of make me look like I'm out of Star Wars, but it's not terrible.

[Laughing now, she pulls it out to examine in more detail, setting it gently on the counter]

Yeah sure whatever. [She's going to lean back in her chair, watching her friend admire her work while she herself is busy pulling up another slightly larger bag for her to open in a bit.] It'll look good. Promise.

If you say so, Shiki. [She snorts here, taking one more bite of cake before turning her attention to the new and larger bag]

Who's the fashionista here? [She shoves that bag closer. OPEN IT ALREADY. Open it to see the pillow shaped like a megaphone. In the pattern of the pillow, Haruhi can probably see little tiny detail stitching of people. Not just people though, members of the Brigade both old and new. She remembers those pictures from under the bed, and she knows the roster enough anyway. In big letters, SOS Brigade is sewn in as well.]

[she nods, okay. She's right. But-]

Oh, wow.

[This... is impressive]

I...figured that would be a lot better than just a photo album. I left some room to add people later, too. [There are even people sewn in there that aren't in the Brigade. You know, such as herself, Winry, Minato, Neku, and Beat.]

And you'll just... sew more in?

[ :|a ]

If you want me to, or I can leave it alone. What do you think?

Well the adding things isn't a bad idea, honestly.
