( Window Dressing )

It's mid-afternoon by the time she collects herself and all but insists she handle this-]

[Voice]

[Her voice is more ragged than usual, but also dull. It's lacking in vibrancy to a degree she hasn't really felt since... when? Maybe the break up, a little over a year ago.]

Shiki Misaki's back in Shibuya now, and I'm pretty sure Neku is too. [She feels like there was a third person-- oh who cares] Shiki's got a ton of stuff because she was stupid and sentimental like that, so if you knew her, you probably got something from her. [How can she end this. She hasn't even cried yet, reall-- oh, duh]

Joshua, don't you dare reply to this.

[There, over.

If you want action, Haruhi'll be up on the roof of House 10, one of her prime moping spots, most of the day. She can also see people going to get stuff Shiki left them at House 10 from there too]

For those that new any of them, Uriko Nonomura is finally home and Neku Sakuraba's also gone back to his Shibuya. [As Neku vanished over a week ago (she simply delayed announcing it because consoling Shiki meant more to her than letting the public know) she suspects some of his friends will have noticed him being more quiet than usual. But regardless-]

But, despite that, Luceti, I've got something different and much more exciting to tell you all about! I'm sure by now all of you have heard of my SOS-Brigade, right?! We're have an HQ ready to take clients at any time in the center of town, we have a boat out at those docks at the ocean, we helped construct a shrine for Amatersu out at the cherry tree hill, and of course one of my Lieutenants, Oswald, is running Hydra Social! You really can't miss us!

Well, this is just a friendly reminder that this Spreading Excitement All Over the World With Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade is open to both new members and new clients in the days to come! We're willing to support anyone that comes to us with problems, particularly if they happen to be interesting ones, and if you want to join our ranks, we'll welcome you as well!

[Cough. Okay] And, as I'm sure all you people who have been here a while haven noticed, we're rapidly closing in on a important holiday. You can guess what it is, right? Tanabata! Of course it's Tanabata, happening on the 7th of July! As always, you and expect the SOS-Brigade to put out fireworks, food, and bamboo shoots to tie your wishes onto come nightfall, but this year we're planning to show you stars both during the day and the night! Do you know how...?

[And here she picks up a megaphone to speak into it into the journal]

Luceti's Second Brigade Hosted Cross Beauty Pageant!

Naturally, as it's going to be happening in July we'll be accepting sign ups - personal or by proxy [so sign up your friends :T] before the day of, and when the day comes we'll be taking a popular and judge's vote, just like last time! And like last time, remember that this is cross beauty! [Cross dressing. Girls in suits (even if last time this wasn't the case). Men in dresses. You know how it is. If you don't...] People who don't adhere to those standards when the time comes will of course be assisted by staff from All Passions or the Brigade itself when the time comes, but let's get those signatures in so that we can ensure it'll be a good show!

I'll be here to answer any questions that aren't stupid - Haruhi Suzumiya, over and out!
