[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!

[Video]

Okay, does everyone remember the raffle with fabulous prizes that my very talented minion, Duplica, ran some time ago?! [this, that is] Well it's time to announce the results!

[Haruhi is standing in front of a shoe box filled with raffle tickets. Well, "filled." Either way, she rummages in there to pick the first name] There might be ten prizes, but there can only be three winners! This draw is for the third pick of prize and it's... [Pull out and reading:] Fenimore! One of the close runners up in the SOS-Brigade's Cross Beauty Pageant a while back! Congratulations! [Fist pump, and now rummage for number 2...] Aaaand it's our very own Oswald! The so-called Lucky Rabbit lucks out with second pick! And the number one ceed goooooes to... [Rummage and pull out-- whoa]

Wow, whoever this is has really nice handwriting. [Okay... reading-] Sakura... Oogami. Okay, Sakura Oogami, you get first pick! All three of you should head to the SOS-Brigade's HQ to tell me which prize you're claiming! In order, Sakura gets first pick, then Oswald, then Fenimore! And if you liked this raffle, and want to do more fun things like it, you should consider joining the SOS-Brigade!

[Okay and then she sits. There's a short pause before-] Furthermore, anyone who was in the last draft- I heard it was in a different Enclosure. I don't really care about all the details of the fighting, but anyone who can tell me what that other village was like can get the beneficial thanks of the leader of the SOS-Brigade! After all, it's Culture Day, so you might as well.

[She salutes the book! Then the end thought-]

And as a parting thought: Do you like pirates, or ninja?

[She doesn't get why they're a polarized debate. But a job is a job, and she might as well make it fun]

[Action]

[and Haruhi will be in the HQ for them. But then later in the day she's going to be planting a sign in the ground outside the HQ which reads:

"Got Problems? Come in and Consult the SOS-Brigade!"

And then she's going to be sitting the HQ waiting for clients and answering things on voice the rest of the time.

OOC: Brigade Plans for November, if anyone wants to jack onto threads about pirates and ninjas, feel free to go for it.]

For everyone who knew the idol and the Deputy-Vice Chief of the Brigade, Azusa Miura, I can say confidently that she'd been sent home. I didn't check her apartment yet, but there's a lot of stuff in her Brigade locker here at the HQ. The typical letters Jeez, when did she write all these... for a few people are here for one. [For the people listed here. She expects those who know her to ask or just stop by] You can stop by to pick them up. She's left some other things too, but those are mostly Brigade property.

[And she flips through the items some more before... you know there's no "FOR X" on here, but there are some bookmarks in some of them which say her name on them so.]

...Except these things. Buffy, are you a woman yet? [She doesn't get a filter. The next guy does]

[Filtered to Sanji // 85% Unhackable]

I've got something in particular for you.

[Action]

[So for the last few days, Haruhi was Shiki. That... Was weird. She has decided to make herself as Haruhi as possible. So she's actually going to ignore that aside from maybe her housemates and Minato and sit inside the Brigade HQ all day at the front desk. That event had to be traumatizing for some people, maybe they'll get some clients looking for counseling! ...Finally!

The spelunking trip is in a few days anyway so.

Come on in, step in! Be therapy'd! PS: Brigade To Do List]

Summer's drawing to a close already... we're already half-way through August, pretty much. There's really a lot of things left to do now, even if I wasn't really planning a lot... [A hum] I guess being made super old wasn't in my plans. [Old...] I'm actually twenty years old now, how weird is that? [Physically now, even, because of what happened on her birthday. Not that is will necessarily stand out to people] But anyway, seriously? There's submarining, bug catching, exploring some ancient ruins, spelunking, maybe going out on a date or something... Actually I'd like to spelunk! SOS-Brigade, assuming that we don't get a working submarine in two weeks, let's go explore some caverns!

-Right, that reminds me. I haven't been around for it, but this is Luceti so I'm sure bad things have happened. If any of you guys are suffering from issues - emotional psychological, interpersonal, maybe economic, the SOS-Brigade can assist you. Bonus points if it's interesting, but our doors are open! [And if you don't want to respond to this post or make your own or something you can reply here] Similarly, if you want to help people like that, go spelunking, or are at all are into the idea of your life being filled with purpose and meaning, sign up to join the SOS-Brigade! You need only make sure it's approved by the Chief, that is to say, me.

Oh, right... Anyone who's from Xion's world and can use magic, I'd like a word with you guys.

Hey, SOS-Brigade, I'm going to be out for the next few days. Off to the desert.

[A beat]

That said, just because I'm going to be out doesn't mean that people who were traumatized by the experiment shouldn't come to seek my Brigade's counsel. In fact, if you were, go ahead and stop by, we'll sort you out. [here or on this post or your own post or wherever]

[Hum. Mentioning Hydra Social or plans she might have for March would be too much, this is good for now. Really she's... a little nervous, but she's also confident she's got this for for the desert. Cooking, keeping supplies in order, management. All things she excels at.]

Over and out!

[Feel free to reply with anyone of course]
