[ backdated to the 2nd and filtered from Diamond, of course! two rather tired and beat-up looking kids appear on video, looking exhausted and worried but also determined. this was an important mission, much more so than the draft was! the girl with a beanie glances over at her blond companion, before inclining her head in a ladylike bow. ]

I have a favor to ask of whomever is watching. My name is Platina Berlitz and this is Pearl, and... a friend of ours has been injured in the draft. He's in recovery, but his birthday is also in two days.

We were thinking about throwing him a party to help him cheer up. [and give themselves some rest, whoo boy] There'd be a lot of food, of course, since Dia's a big eater all on his own.

[...free food is good incitement right??]

Any aid with this would be appreciated! E-especially with the food. He's usually the one cooking for us, not the other way around...



[ blue is Platina and orange is Pearl @ willpowered! we'll be replying separately o7 ]

What, he still got hurt?

[Her newest underling? What, come on, really. She even got Reverse Dolls and he badges and everything probably I should have broadcast it more]

[acuity]

Yes, he di... what do you mean, 'still'?

[ what are you doing with her bodyguard!! ]

[godbent]

I meant I supplied every member of my Brigade with benefits to prevent it.

[acuity]

What exactly are these 'benefits'? And why have I not heard of them!

[godbent]

Probably because you're not a member of my SOS-Brigade!

[acuity]

What exactly is th... wait, I've participated in one of your raffles before!

[godbent]

Oh, yeah, I remember that! You're ... That one girl. Platinum or something, right?

[acuity]

... That works, too. But Platina or 'miss' would do.

[godbent]

Platina, then. I'm not going to call someone obviously younger than me "miss"

[acuity]

It's a form of polite address, that's all! But I don't think I've ever received your name.

[godbent]

[A light exhale and then with a great air of self-importance-] Haruhi Suzumiya, chief of the SOS-Brigade.

[acuity]

I... suppose it's nice to meet you, Miss Suzumiya. Miss Chief?

[godbent]

It's nice to meet you too! [A beat] Anyway, so you're one of those two's friends?

[acuity]

I am! We come from the same region. And we've been through a lot together.

[godbent]

Oh, good. So that means you also know a lot about them?

[acuity]

I should hope so! Why do you ask?

[godbent]

No reason! Just for future reference.

[And at that she sighs and rolls her eyes]

[willpowered]

It was my fault.

[Sorry. -- And no, Missy, no matter how many times you (and everyone else) tell him, it was definitely

definitely

his fault.]

[godbent]

Explain. [Crossing her arms, she says this evenly]

[willpowered]

[He's quiet for a moment, reliving the moment. Terrifying.]

It was pretty early in the morning, after the rude awakening we had. We weren't thinking about grabbing anything you gave us, so --

[Pearl's the responsible one, of him and Diamond. He should've thought about it!]

Anyway, Dia and I were focused on knocking out foes and one of them kind of... did a number on his arm. [And then Pearl and Platina fire/ice'd him and it was terrible.]

video

[godbent]

[A little tap of her tongue before-] So how do you fit into that being your fault?

[She keeps her arms crossed and her eyes are impassive.]

video

[willpowered]

[Because he's a likely candidate for having a protection complex re: Diamond thanks to a childhood incident --]

I should've been paying better attention to him. He's the slowest out of us, so...

video

[godbent]

Right. [That's not enough for her to outright deny it, but it's also not enough for her to agree. She sighs and shakes her head, dismissing that conversation but-]

The Brigade will help out with this party, of course. I can cook, even.

video

[willpowered]

You can!? [SURPRI oh uh that's rude. Pearl clears his throat and, uh.] I mean -- good! Cool! Thanks! Apparently one of our senior's pretty handy with parties too, so it sounds like it's going to be a birthday bash like he's never had before.

video

[godbent]

Oh yeah, who's that, if I'm supposed to be helping out with them? [A beat] Also don't doubt me, jeez! I'll dock you.
