[When Suzumiya Haruhi picks up the phone with the usual drone filter, she sounds very tense (even though she's trying her best to sound normal, excited). Which obviously means that the conversation is dead serious.]

Ahem.

[There's a short, overdramatic pause before she clears her throat and speaks up.]

Anyway! I'm Suzumiya Haruhi, the brigade chief of the SOS Brigade -- at least, if you didn't already know that -- otherwise known as the most important brigade in all of Mayfield, no - the entire multiverse!

[Though there's probably only one brigade to begin with. Not that Haruhi knows that, of course.]

But... I didn't call to answer any of your trivial questions about the brigade, so don't go asking them. If you want to ask any of those questions, just ask Kyon or Yuki! I'm not in the mood to answer any questions, so don't bother asking any.

I'm going to ask a very important question. If you don't have a good answer, then you shouldn't even answer it at all, got it?

[Though she's honestly going to be lenient about this. Probably. Most likely.]

So, hypothetically speaking, if you were to find something... [There's another pause.] ... like a picture, or a message that isn't supposed to exist belonging to somebody you trust, what would you do? Hypothetically speaking, of course! And if any of you give me a lame answer, I'll make sure there's a penalty to go with it, alright?

That is all!

[In the afternoon, an uncertain Haruhi lies down next to a tree, opening, closing, and literally just messing around with the screen of a cell phone that obviously doesn't belong to her. At least, until she stares down at the wallpaper, frowning.

After all the talk about "shinjin", or 'Celestials' -- she doesn't know what to believe anymore. If he was telling the truth, then that wasn't a dream. Those blue giants were real. And maybe this picture was real, too.

But it didn't make any sense. Sure, she did enjoy finding the supernatural. But she didn't want it to become the "mundane". Things like this becoming the norm was a no-no.

... Damn it.

The mere fact that this picture existed definitely bothered her. And the big question lingered in her mind. Why?

Do you dare to approach?]

[When Haruhi Suzumiya picks up the phone, she sounds clearly annoyed. But for what reason? You'll see. Or rather, hear with your own ears.]

What kind of summer is this? [Nothing exciting has happened at all, and Haruhi is surely angry about that.] It's almost August, and we haven't done anything interesting at all!

[Haruhi takes a deep, dramatic breath in before she speaks in a more excited tone, one that sounds a lot more serious.]

Which is why we'll have to kick it up a notch in the next month. Swimming! Movies! Fireworks! All those kinds of things. And if you're a part of the SOS Brigade, you better know that you have to participate in everything. [And if Kyon's hearing this, it's like Endless Eight all over again. Nonstop summer.] We won't stop until this summer is done, got it?

[There's a slight mischievous chuckle before she manages to speak, her haughty, triumphant voice ringing through the phones.]

Anyway! Since we all know that the movie theater has ridiculously boring movies, we, the SOS Brigade will have to screen our own movie! [Someone, please stop her. You do not want to watch the horrible movie that she made.] We a great movie to show you, of course, but... I guess I'll allow a collection of movies that are way cooler and more exciting than the movies that Mayfield will ever show!

We can even make it into a movie festival. Whoever has the best movie will receive a huge award and will become an honorary brigade member!

But other than that, there will be an important brigade meeting today at one o'clock! It's at 3477 Erwin Road. 3-4-4-7 Erwin. If you're not there - especially if you're a part of the brigade, you'll get the death sentence!

[Even though Haruhi did indeed announce that there's going to be a brigade meeting, there's still going to be some advertising done. Which calls for the return of bunny girl Haruhi! Of course, she'll be passing around flyers which state: "SOS Brigade", as well as their slogan, "We're not interested in ordinary humans - and 'ordinary humans' means no drones allowed! There will be a meeting today! For more information, try to crack the code."

The code is actually written in morse code, which basically says the time of the meeting, one in the afternoon, as well as the location, 3477 Erwin. Of course, there isn't too much information about the brigade itself, but if you have any questions, just ask the one passing out the flyers!]

[Heading towards the Smith (translation: Haruhi) household? Then you're in luck, because you won't get lost if Haruhi spots you! Especially if she knows you, she'll drag you into her house.

But if you're already at the house (hey, she even put a huge sign that says "SOS Brigade" in bright black, bold font next to the mailbox), you might as well come in, right? After all, there is free food for every and all brigade members.]

[When Haruhi woke up this morning, she wasn't exactly feeling all that great. But the fact that she was sick wouldn't get her down. Even though she didn't have work from Mayfield, she still had to do things for the SOS Brigade.

Which is why she'll be up and around the house, though she's definitely in no shape to be going out.]

[Haruhi is sick today, Mayfield! But she'll still be going out to advertise the SOS Brigade to people who aren't already in it. And also remind everyone who is in the brigade that they have to go to the meetings. Even if there hasn't been one since school ended. No matter.

But if she spots you, she'll run towards you as quickly as she can, though she's a bit wobbly due to her fever. Obviously she's been overexerting herself.]

H... hey!

[And occasionally, she'll be leaning next to a tree in order to regain her footing. She's pretty crazy, to be going out in such a condition, even though some people told her not to go out.]

[When Haruhi picks up the phone, her voice isn't exactly... heard at first. Here, Mayfield, have some sounds of coughs and hacks. When she speaks, though, it's soft and slow - very unlike her.]

Mayfield. I have a question for you—

[A cough. She pauses for another five seconds after that, clearing her throat.]

Does anyone know any supernatural cures? I'll pay you with whatever I've got. That... that is all!

[During the early parts of the day, Haruhi will be sitting on the park's swing, humming God Knows, doing nothing in particular. Of course, people may notice that her hair's in a ponytail, which is unusual for her.

Though she sure seems awfully melancholy. Which is definitely a reason to bother, right?]

[Whenever Haruhi is hungry -- at least, during either breakfast or lunch, she'll be in here, looking down, drinking a milkshake. And when the drones around her start attempting to talk to her, see what's wrong, well.]

Shut up--!

[Yeah, you probably shouldn't irritate her, especially when she's in such a horrible mood.]

[And after those shenanigans, Haruhi will just wonder around. It's true that she's avoiding a certain someone, but it's not like he knows the things that she does. But she's also not only avoiding him, she's pretty much avoiding any and all brigade members.

Then again, it's not like she's paying attention to her surroundings too well...]

[In the late afternoon, she heads home for a bit, just to make a short phone call. It's nothing too important, though.]

Yuki...

[There's a pause after that - not everyone might know her by just her first name.]

Nagato Yuki's been droned. And Mayfield? I have a question. What would you do if you found out that someone you knew wasn't "real"? Just some food for thought.

... Yo, so apparently, Haruhi and I have moved house to 3477 Erwin Road.

You guys should come and visit us! Maybe we should throw a housewarming party...!

Haruhi, what are you doing!?

Isn't it obvious? Since the children are drones, it's easy to distract them. Plus, it'll be fun! Oh, but no alcohol. I forbid it!

Come on, we don't need a party...

But parties are fun! And we missed two of your birthdays, so this is what you get!

[And you can hear the two of them arguing over the phone before the phone drops. ... Yeah, have fun with that.]

... Kyon Smith, Attorney at Law, huh? I don't know the first thing about law other than not to break it. And "Smith"? Real funny there.

[During class today, Haruhi, the new English teacher will be teaching random stuff about aliens, time travelers, and espers!

But then-]

Hey, Mrs. Smith, I need help with-

[and Haruhi throws a piece of chalk aimed directly at the drone]

Any other questions?

[Early in the morning (and again in the early hours of the evening), Haruhi will pick up the phone and announce something that's extremely vital.]

Ahem!

Citizens of Mayfield, both new and old: this is the chief of the SOS Brigade, Suzumiya Haruhi speaking! I would like to announce that I'm going to be opening spots once again for members of the brigade. However, since today is self-activity day: meaning that there is no brigade meeting today, you are free to grab an application from the clubroom or just tell me your address and I'll give the application to you as soon as possible!

Anyway, what we, as the SOS Brigade do are the following: solve the mysteries of Mayfield, try to find a way out, scavenge information on the brigade... oh, and play with the supernatural!

If you have any questions, want to see the Mayfield timeline, or have a mystery for us to solve, just call back.

That is all!

[Like Haruhi said on the phone, if anyone attempts to go into the SOS Brigade clubroom, it is open. However, on the door there's a sign that says: "SOS Brigade: Self Activity day, members must meet in the music room."

The sign is written in Mayfield English (meaning anyone can read it with no problems) and in Japanese.

In the music room, Haruhi is wearing her bunny girl outfit with no regrets, sitting at the piano as she plays several songs, such as First Goodbye, God Knows, Lost my Music... and pretty much any Haruhi-related song (Bouken Desho Desho, SUPER DRIVER, etc.)

However, she seems to have some sort of problem, since she seems a bit... frustrated.

Bother?]

[Today, at around six in the morning (no, can it, you can't fight this) - there will be one (1) teenage girl in the body of not just a familiar boy, but the familiar boy going to sneak into her (well, the room that Kyon in Haruhi's body's in) room before shaking him (Kyon, that is), saying in her new masculine voice...]

Wake up. Hey, Kyon. Wake up.

[And due to boredom before school starts, Haruhi will later pick up the phone, going "Ahem", in Kyon's deep voice before speaking in a somewhat excited, yet deadpan tone:]

I'm not the only one who's switched bodies, right? I mean— this is what that ominous phone call was about, right? The whole "I wish I could be someone else" call the other day from those drones.

I kind of saw this coming, but, well. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Maybe we should have a headcount or something. Just phone call back with your name - yes, your actual name, not the name of the person you swapped with - and who you swapped with. Your real name first, though.

If you plan to trick me, however, I'll make sure you'll pay your due.

[The phone then clicks off. Haruhi's not revealing who she is, apparently.]

[Even with the swap, that's definitely not going to keep her down. Or change the fact that she's Haruhi in Kyon's body and that she's dated the darn guy for a week.

... Though, to be honest, they haven't gone on a 'date' since a week ago. But it would definitely be awkward to go on one now, right?

So!

Haruhi will be wondering around (as Kyon, obviously); going to school, slacking off in class, hanging around the clubroom, etcetera.

... Kyon will probably be doing the same thing as Haruhi. Though you might see them together.

Mostly because she's worried about what he'll do.

Especially if Kyon needs to go to the bathroom. Or a changing room. Or attempt to do... well, indecent things.]

option b: open action; all over mayfield.
