TWO ★ the boredom.

[Wherever you go, Mayfield, you will be seeing Haruhi hanging up SOS Brigade posters all over the place. But what is on the paper, you ask? Of course, tacked on the top is the emblem, along with huge font, written in English, "S.O.S. Brigade", with "Spreading Excitement all Over the World with Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade" written in much smaller font

[Walks up to one of the posters that Haruhi has just put up. Spends quite a bit of time reading the tiny print at the bottom.]

Spreading Excitement, huh.

Sounds kinda interesting. But in da high school? I ain't goin' there!

[secretgod]

Well, the high school's roomier and I rather not house anyone at the house. I don't trust the drone mother there.

[vitalizes]

Ehhh, school's boring. Even bein' in the building is boring ... least I'd think so.

[Sighs and shrugs]

So what's this 'excitement' yer tryin' ta spread?

[secretgod]

Don't worry, most of the club activities are going to be outside of the school, anyway.

... And the excitement of finding and playing with the supernatural!

[chastesaw]

*Hey, it's your not!sister. Looking at the poster over your shoulder.* This advertisement seems problematic to me for two reasons.

Firstly, the relevant information is written in a typeset so small it is unlikely that anyone will be able to parse it to understand what, precisely, your schoolgroup is for.

Secondly, you cannot spread excitement all over the world. We are stuck in Mayfield. Remember?

[secretgod]

Well, that's why it's a test! Only those who are truly interested should be able to come! [ A small pause... ] And about that: of course I can spread excitement all over the world! The club was created outside of Mayfield, so when we leave, then I'll hatch up my super-exciting plan!!

[chastesaw]

Oh, I see. Then it is a question of devotion and interest? That is actually fairly clever.

...but I do not think we will be able to accompany you when you leave this town so that may not work, either.

[secretgod]

That's why I'll make a machine to go to other worlds! Mm, that's it!

[sosnarrator]

... Haruhi, what are you doing?

[secretgod]

What do you think I'm doing? I'm getting ready for the new recruits, of course! [... THOUGH NONE OF THEM WILL GET THROUGH HARUHI'S TESTS. NONE] Oh, yeah - Kyon, you need to copy at least 50 of the questionnaire - the paper is on the desk! Oh, and if there's no copy machine, just handwrite it - I want them all in Japanese and English, and if you can't write it in English, just copy what's on the paper.

[sosnarrator]

Hold it, I... what?

(New recruits? Photocopying? Oh for god's sake...)

[secretgod]

Do you really want me to repeat it in simple man's terms? Fine! But remember: I won't repeat it again, so listen up this time! Over there- [she points towards the desk, there's a sheet of paper] is the questionnare! It's for the new recruits. I need at least 50 copies in each language, 50 in Japanese, 50 in English! But I don't think the copy machine was made yet, so you'll just have to copy everything by hand!

If you don't get it, you'll get a penalty, alright?!

[heteropennae]

-And guess who's found the room? The frightful winged girl from the other day. She peers inside, curiously.-

[secretgod]

Hi! [Haruhi waves, grinning mischievously.]

[heteropennae]

Um... Is this that thing? That you were talking about before?

[secretgod]

That's right! This is the S.O.S Brigade!

[kinpika]

[Did someone say fun? Gil is showing up for FUN.]

Hiiiiiiiiii!

[secretgod]

Hi! [Fun is what the brigade is all about, obviously!]

[kinpika]

I'm here for fun and excitement!

[secretgod]

Is that so? Then you've come to the right place!
