11 ~ I wanted to live in that world too [written/audio/action]

[The written portion of this message consists of a flyer, not exactly messily, but nevertheless somehow a little slovenly, as if the writer's soul were treating its subject with a heavy dose of veiled sarcasm and it seeped into the writing somehow. It is also being read out loud by Kyon concurrently as it appears on the page.]

Are you a ninja, pirate, dodgeball player, or particularly earnest observer of Japanese holidays for five-year-old girls? ['And she calls me a lolicon... Which reminds me.'] By the way, not you, Aikawa. Anyway--

Is there anyone in Luceti whose face you want to smash a water balloon against?

Do you just generally love war?

If so, be sure to attend the SOS Brigade's "Pirates vs. Ninjas" Dodgeball Extravaganza. Or maybe it's not an Extravaganza. Well, I'm sure even if it's not officially, it still has Extravaganza-Like Components and is extravagant.

That's Thursday, November 15th. Save the date, or alternatively wander by the Barracks, if you elect to be a pirate, where their home base is located, or by the first floor of Community Building 1, which is ninja headquarters, and I'm sure someone will splatter you.

And, yeah. Like I said, it's doubling... somehow... as a celebration of Shichi-Go-San. Those interested in celebrating being three, five, or seven years old should also attend. Questions can be directed here... and I'm sure Haruhi will see them.


[As for action, he can be found passing out more of these flyers in person in the plaza, either on the 13th or the 14th in the day, mumbling something to himself about a hell of a way to spend an anniversary.]

Dodging WHOSE balls? And how can one "elect" to be a pirate, lad? You're makin' no sense at all!

voice;

[menial]

Well, you had to choose it at some point. And dodging each others' balls. I guess in the case of pirates, dodging ninjas' balls.

voice;

[all7seas]

Pirate's in the blood! Ask grandmama, horrid thing! She drew enough of it!

[He'd dodged her balls most of his young life.]

Erm.....................Kyon...........

what if I tagged you with this one, too, what then [voice]

[theogre]

I would like to participate. A true fighter could not resist a challenge like this.

then... i would reply. NOW WHAT [voice]

[menial]

['... Sure about that?']

Uh, right. Well, you're welcome to join, it's open to everyone. Are you thinking ninja or pirate?

oh well i guess that works??? [voice]

[theogre]

Very well. I will join whichever side will have me.

[ooc; She'll end up with the pirates eventually!!]

[fierybluebird]

It's not optional for all Whitebeard affiliated pirates. We have to defend our honor.

[Honor? Among pirates? Okay no, Marco's not really staking Whitebeard honor on this, and he's definitely trolling, but hey, gotta go big and lay down the gauntlet to those ninjas!]

[voice]

[menial]

Right. Well, not optional for that, then. ['Is it clear enough that I have no idea what's being talked about here...?']

Hard, though, since ninjas have no honor and all that.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Really? None? [All the deadpan.] Pity. What will they defend?

[voice]

[wise_maiden]

You're arranging a water balloon fight when the summer is already over? Do you just want the entire village to catch a cold, especially the younger ones?

/threadjacks voice

[all7seas]

NO! No nonononono, Mistress Raine! Balls.

[And Jack settles back, hoping the schoolmistress will put on a show of awesome righteous indignation. Because that would be SO entertaining.]

[wise_maiden]

It's not balls it's - it's filling balloons with water and flinging them at people.

[voice]

[godbent]

There's at least four people here you can manipulate the weather, I'm sure some concerned party can make it warmer. Besides, sickness is a state of mind.

[voice]

[wise_maiden]

I doubt you've even asked them to assist with it. You also have to take into account that the more lively and involved people get with such an activity, the more difficult it will be for them to be on top of all the areas. You're encouraging children to be involved; not only that but targeted for a prize, when they are more susceptible to getting ill than anyone else. Honestly, what were you thinking?

[not here]

[menial]

['But love is a state of mind that's a sickness... which is a state of mind... which--']

[voice]

[menial]

I don't know, maybe they'll be hot water balloons.

[voice]

[wise_maiden]

You're not helping.

[herotypical]

...Figures Haruhi would be behind this. Is this why she was asking about the two the other day?

[menial]

If it isn't why, then I guess I ought to be worried.

voice;

[repudiate]

...

Sounds like you're trying to appeal to an interesting sort of audience. So is that the kind of group of friends you'd like to have? [ at least Ange is back to normal for sure here, yes. ]

voice;

[menial]

Direct all such questions to Haruhi, not to me. I'm just the messenger.

[song_princess]

.... What is this thing called dodgeball?

[menial]

Oh.

Well, it's ... a sport, or I guess a game, in which you dodge balls. Or really, thrown objects of any kind, I guess. Ideally safe ones, like water balloons, in this case.

[tapdancinskelly]

Would it be okay to be on the ninja side even if you're a pirate, or be on the pirate side even if you are ninja? I'm just curious really, but I'll probably be on the pirate side anyways.

[He's not revealing his face like he would normally though, as it's part of the surprise for the event.]

Voice

[menial]

Uh, yeah, I guess it's okay. I mean, it's very much a choice-based thing. I don't know. Do whatever Haruhi says.
