I don't know how many of you have heard, but these are the members of my SOS-Brigade, and our new purpose right now is to help out those of you who need help, answering your "SOS." Your lives must have problems, right, particularly after the sort of things we have to go through. Just come to the Brigade HQ and see how we can solve your things. Bonus points if it's something interesting too.

[Yeah, that'll do. She was just doing this to give herself something to do right now anyway. Why it's written, not voiced]

How many of you are looking to make new friends? Or getting to know a hot chick or an attractive guy?

[Action]

[In light of everything, Haruhi has been feeling more than a little nostalgic. Back at North high, during the start of the year and the cultural festival in November she dressed up in a certain outfit in order to attract attention. It's sort of too cold to wear it for advertisement like she used to, but it doesn't breathe at all so if she's inside and has a coat handy she ought to be okay...

Thus, in Seventh Heaven today Haruhi is here to have lunch and tea dressed like this. Yes, it's outlandish, but deal with it. (sorry no guitar though) Her journal is next to her. Feel free to notice or talk with her]

They're... not bad, I guess.

[He hums a bit, well, it was obvious her preference were ribbons anyway. Nodding a bit he puts his hand inside the pocket in his pants and hands her a small box wrapped as a gift, inside of which she'll find two handmade hair pins decorated with colored flower shapes and what seems to be the figure of an angel or a fairy at the end.]

[What? She stops tugging on the wrist cuffs of the bunny outfit and unwraps before opening the box and... huh. she picks them up, lifting them out to examine them]

These are cute... [Not sure if she would wear them, but they are cute]

They are my apology present, it's okay if you don't wear them, but don't throw them. I spent the whole night working on them.

[Not that he thinks she would throw them that easily, but who knows.]

I don't throw out anything I can use! That's the very principle of being environmentally sound, don't you know! [She looks at them a moment longer, and then puts them back in the box- wait]

You made them?

Yeah, I supposed you wouldn't, but I wanted to make sure.

[He laughs a bit apologetically.]

Ah, yes, I made them. Everything is free here after all, so lately I started thinking that if I want to make a gift it would have more meaning if I made it myself. Besides I wanted this one to be pretty special.

That's... you know how to work it like this? Jeez..

[ :I ]

Huh? It's not that difficult to make... Is it wrong?

I'm just surprised.

Oh... Okay.

[Though now he feels a bit unsure. However there's nothing to do to it.]

Say... How come you're here?

[Dressed like that.]

I was...eating lunch.

[A while ago now]

... Didn't know you were such a slow eater.

[No to mention there's no food or even tableware in front of her right now]

So what?

[Nothing, really, is it his place to ask? Maybe not, even if they are friends. He looks at her.]

You look cute. I'm going back now, though, unless you want to do something.

I... no. Not today.

[Today, she needs to feel nostalgic. Think about home. All that stuff]

Okay... If you need anything of whatever, you know where to reach me.

Yeah, I know. I know.

[Wave. Go on, be free!
