[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.]



ooc: more details available here]

To those that knew it, it looks like the crazy RPG hit-points-and-magic stuff has gone home. Sorry for those who were close to it. I don't think it left any notes or belongings for anyone, but I'm sure it'll be better off where it came from.

['What a cartoonish Shift this was. Not that I will ever forget my valorous deeds, but can we get back to ... Actually, forget it. Nothing serious. If more Shifts that are par for the Haruhi-course happen, it can only be a good thing.']

Seriously -- everyone all right out there? Sounds like a more than average number of people have been leaving fair Luceti lately. Though I guess variation is itself average, in said fair Luceti.

...Anyone know where the name "Luceti" comes from, anyway?

['...You know what, I'd better stop rambling right there.']

['Well, it's been a while since Valentine's. Maybe I can show my face on the journal again. Well, so to speak. My tiny icon. Whatever. After having laid low for a while, it should be safe, right?'

And so this rather lackadaisical message appears on the journal.]

Has anyone ever had that feeling where you anticipate something bad happening for a while, but when it actually comes to pass, it's just confusing instead? And then disappointing.

Actually, I guess that would be a good way to describe everything... simply confusing. Anyway. I guess there are New Feathers coming around here, too. My advice for you would be to suspend disbelief and just move on with your life as soon as you can. Helpful, I know. Well, good luck.

Oh, and I guess Haruhi would want me to say... if you need to talk about your problems, the SOS Brigade is here. So there's that.

Well, I hope everyone I haven't talked to in a while is okay and all that, and later.
