SOS Brigade Minutes for 5/13/2013 & 5/31/2013

Officers:
Brigade Chief Suzumiya Haruhi
Second-in-Command Koizumi Itsuki
Penalty Secretary Kyon

Old Members:
John Egbert
Kate Bishop
Still Junior Assistant Mascot Scott McCall (this emphasis is unnecessary)
Ikari Shinji

Updated Category: Dead Members: (see below)
Vriska Serket

New Members
Xion (recruited by Kate, so for once the ethics of the situation are unquestionable) Kyon! What’s taking you so long to write down a name just as short as yours? You’re making sure to get everything word for word, right? What kind of notes are you putting down, anyway?
Nico Minoru (after significant debate as to which list she belonged on. Apologies, Minoru-san.)

Released Members:
Asahina Mikuru

New Business for 5/13:

-Prom decorations. 50 point initiative award to the Penalty Secretary for volunteering us! And 100 point penalty for doing it without consulting the other officers first!

-Is there any way of even pretending these points have been awarded on a meaningful scale?

-Prom! Someone in the brigade had better wind up winning King or Queen! We have to be well-represented out there! One thousand point reward for success; five hundred point penalty for failure!

-I didn’t think so.

-Of course, for something like this, attendance is mandatory! Be sure to bring a date, no matter how hopeless a specimen you may otherwise happen to be!

-There’s no need to be looking directly at me as you say things like that.

-From here on out make certain to record any significant glances! Emphasis and body language are important parts of communication and there’s no excuse for being lazy and leaving them out!

-Anyway! These releases are getting seriously unacceptable! Discuss.

-Discussion did not yield any positive results, unless seriously depressing the majority of the Brigade counts as a positive result.

Old Business

-Efforts to install a rheostat in the clubroom tabled until next year.

-Attempt to quietly answer Miss Minoru’s question about a rheostat interrupted by Brigade Chief deducting further points from Penalty Secretary for not getting this done. A rheostat is a device which can be used to adjust the light levels in a room on a sliding scale rather than a binary on/off switch. Also, I didn’t realize that was being left to me.

-No excuses!

New Business for 5/31:

-Kyon! Why don’t you have that last set of minutes up yet? Totally unacceptable! Minus another one hundred points!

-Prom retrospective. Thankfully, no penalty points were handed out, due to an official amnesty granted by Brigade Chief, rendering the aforementioned irregular points system even more arbitrary. Given extensive discussion of prom events, please leave the highlights and memories in the comments yourselves.

-(Miss Minoru) ‘'The SOS Brigade: where everything is made up and the points don't matter'’

-Of course they matter! Minus ten points!

-Finals week is coming! What kind of rewards can we get from the school for having the entire Brigade on the Honor Roll? That had definitely better happen!

-Summer plans! (abridged for length) Meetings and club activities will continue throughout the summer; without schoolwork as an excuse attendance is double mandatory.

-What is the Joui?

-No-one knows.

-What the heck was up with everyone going blind, anyway?

-Extensive summaries omitted for health reasons (risk of carpal tunnel). Again, feel free to recap below.

-Roundtable Discussion Topics. Death in New Moore! Did anyone see the skeleton with the scythe? What do you mean, you decided not to talk to him? Anyway, something about death is weird in this place, right? There’s a support group for dead people! Does the skeleton run it? How many dead people are just walking around on the streets, anyway? What’s going on with that?

-Discussion tabled due to lack of time and excess of volume. Brigade Chief & Ms. Serket (aside: is there a regular polite form of address for trolls?) conducted an impromptu discussion of the subject Official record updated at insistence of Brigade Chief to reflect important distinctions about certain club members.

Points scoreboard:

Kyon: -175
Nico: -10
Kate Bishop: 450! Runner up for Prom Queen is pretty good, and recruiting a new member is even better, but try harder next time!
Everyone else: 0.

Thanks.

Strawberry, with extra icing.

order accepted

also extra costs extra
also also no changes allowed to orders already accepted

... How much extra?

so just whats your dorky dork squad do exactly

You want your surcharge in the form of information?

Accepted.

All deals are final, etc. etc.

The SOS Brigade exists to shake up the standing order of things by uncovering the truth &/or excitement behind any and all unusual events we stumble across. Sometimes more literally than others.

excitement
and you thought serkets the best troll for the job
dude no wonder your little thing here looks like a punch of blind squeakbeasts running around

Part of the deal for the cake was dropping the subject.

aww cmon
the subject before was makin fun of your little team before i knew what it was all aboat
now im makin fun of you for the sake of makin fun of serket

You didn't specify before accepting the deal, and you don't have my credit card information yet.

aight so you aint braindead
why arent you the one in charge

I'm not braindead. However, Haruhi is one of the two smartest people I know. Also, the most driven, the most stubborn, and the one most likely to suddenly seize command as if any social situation was the perfect setting for a coup d'etat.

It's one of those factors. I have my own opinions as to which, but I'll leave it to you to reach your own conclusions.
