[Sure she's still reeling from Shiki being Gone. And Hiccup. And Astrid. And ... well. Her Brigade is down to a small number but she doesn't have the gusto to do much for recruiting. She'll send out Grune in a skimpy outside soon enough, she decides, but for the time being, there is one project her Brigade's name was attached to which sort of trailed off over time-]

Does anyone miss Project Hydra Social?

[It's not like her to ask for approval. And really, she isn't, not quite. But a part of her isn't motivated for anything, so- she's going to ask there. She can answer or discuss it with people from the comfort of her own hoe, maybe as she practices something magical. And besides this-]

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade]

Who's up for the mainden voyage and the christening of our submarine? We should do that, before the end of the month!

[This can also be action for anyone who wants to run into her at her house]

[Voice // Filtered to the SOS-Brigade]
Alright, I'm back! We'll be moving on to new and better things soon, because I've decided on how we're going to ring out spring! Details in the next meeting, so be sure all of you are at it, even if meetings have been a little lax lately. Failure to be there will be met with punishment!

Oh-! Right! All of you met our new members [Diamond, Pearl, Twilight, Usagi] by now, right? If you somehow didn't, get on that! After all, I'm going to promote one of my Brigade members to Deputy-Vice-Chief sometime soon, and there's no way you'll be in the running unless you're on the ball.

Over and out.

[Action]
[And with that out of the way, Haruhi Suzumiya is back in the village proper. It's only been a little more than a week since she started her "camp all over the place to try to hook up with more filial spirits" plan, but she's already started to hear more than she did before. Sona was still blocking her, but now she thinks she's been hearing more from Tsinku and Kipinn (finally) is something she's been starting to work with magically. So now she's back in town and decides--

You know what, it's warmer out after that cold snap and it's not raining. So she's going to just spend the whole day outside. She considers a Flower Viewing, but that's no good solo. Instead, she goes back to House 10 to dig through it until she finds her guitar and then goes to sit down on the edge of the fountain with it. She practiced a lot with it last year, but she hasn't in a while--

But after some messing around, it's not perfect, but she might be playing this or this as well as she can from memory, and after that she just starts to do random things which come to mind. She's surprised how well she can remember, and wonders a little why she stopped in the first place. This is sort of fun]

[Action / Video]

[The follow stuff happens in the plaza but the journal also records it. Either Haruhi has propped up her journal to record it or told one of her underlings to record it. And after the speech portion of it, she'll pick up her journal to answer questions or otherwise talk to people who responded.

So our seen begins with a young lady wearing a fluffy white coat and wielding a megaphone. She brushes back her hair (now at her shoulder blades or so) and wonder if maybe she should trim it soon. Well, whatever. A deep inhale, a grin to herself, and she starts off on the megaphone]

Attention, Luceti! Some of you feel the tedium of every day here, right?! People get overwhelmed by the tragedies everyone here goes through, and then... what? A lot of people decide to just shut off and become depressed sticks in the mud or boozers. Obviously, you can't help everyone who goes down that route or anything and not everyone wants to live a more worthwhile life - but! I'm here to tell you that the Spreading Excitement All Over the World With Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade, SOS-Brigade for short, is offering alternatives!

[She pauses here for breath, and taps the pin badge on her chest]

Obviously, some of you probably have already seen some of the events we put on, or maybe participate in Hydra Social, which my underling, Oswald, manages! And you've thought "how can I have as much fun as those people?" Well, right now, you have two options! Either you can join the SOS-Brigade obviously, or you can sign up to get a list of twenty suggestions from me for a more fulfilling month. If you sign up for that though, be ready to complete at least half of it and show me the results!

[And she bows now, setting down the megaphone before she says the next part]

That's it, Haruhi Suzumiya, over and out!

[Voice / Action for the library]

[For the last 20some days, Haruhi Suzumiya has been obsessively studying. While she slowed down some after the Cultural Fair, it still was a very, very welcome distraction from thinking about how much she was hurt by that break up. Which is why she's been in and our of the library a lot. Finally though today she has decided to prop open the journal and ask for help.]

Hey, Luceti, does anyone recognize these?

[And she moves the journal to focus on:
* Helios's universe basic spellbook
* Basic Buffyverse spellbook (possibly this one or this one)
Lined up next to each other. these are the two she's had the most success with so far... she even more or less mastered one of the spells in the first one.]

Or these?

[And now it focuses on:
* Touhou Grimoire
* CLAMP universe magic tome (Western)
* CLAMP universe magic tome (Eastern)
Much less success here...]

Or this one? [She is much more unhappy sounding at this last book (a Greenhill Academy Rune textbook) because she's had basically no success even figuring out what it is talking about other than it apparently deals with mythology and magic... things.]

Or, I also found the "Writings of Aurelius" next to those first two ones, but I'm not sure if it's got spells in it or not... [it feels ominous, actually... so she figured it might, but- inside it just looks like a bunch of horoscope type things as well as just some weird old school notes]

I'm looking for people who know these books and are willing to tutor me in what's within them. I expect answers ASAP; that is all. [A pause] Also, Leon, since when do you write textbooks? [And then the camera focuses on a book written by Leon DS Geeste on Symbology]

[Anyone can, of course, question here about this post. Or the books. Or both]
