[...there's a bit of a pause, but there's the sounds of rummaging and a pen tapping on the table nearby. He's heard and seen a lot of people around now that have been talking about the closed space, and it's intrigued him. After all, the SOS Brigade is looking for mysteries of the world, right? Partially. With Haruki gone though, who's going to solve this mystery? Taichi is currently plotting and sitting inside the Brigade Clubroom. This may end horribly.]

Hey, listen up! Anybody who disappeared to that weird place a few days ago, report to me immediately in the SOS Brigade room. I want to ask you a few questions about it.

In addition, even with Haruki gone...a few of our other members out of commission for now, we're still having a meeting! Be on time, or there will be punishments! [Yes, he did just bypass Rena and Usagi as taking over the meetings. You have a power-tripping 12 year old. WHAT WILL YOU DO?]

[[ooc: IN ADDITION. If anybody would actually like to run this like a fail!Brigade meeting, I can comment onto this entry to signify the start of the meeting and people can thread with each other and whathaveyou. Let me know if y'all want that as an option.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You shouldn't be so quick to make demands of people. You have to realize there are people out there who won't want to talk about what they saw!

It's only a demand if I'm really making them do anything. I'm just saying that they should, there's a difference.

Telling everyone who was in that place to "report to you immediately" sounds an awful lot like a demand if you ask me.

Then it's a good thing that's not what I was asking you, isn't it? [Gold, you are raining on his parade. This is not acceptable.]

Except that's exactly what you were asking me. Unless, of course, you don't want to know what I saw, that is.

Depends if you actually saw anything or if you're just making it up.

Oh, I was there alright. Spent five days away from this place there.

Yeah? [He was debating about just ignoring Gold because of his first comment...but curiosity wins once again.] What would you even do in a place like that for five days?

That's the weird part! Five days passed here, according to my friends, but five days did not pass there!

That doesn't make any sense. How many days passed there then?

Somethin' more along the lines of three, I'd say.

Maybe everybody was just knocked out for two days straight.

Maybe, but that doesn't sound right. All of us went to sleep in our beds and woke up in them like any day.

Maybe the worlds crossed over? You thought you were here for two days, but you were really gone. Nobody else has mentioned being gone for a shorter time than other people are saying.

Save the theories for after you get your information, kid, or you're not gonna get anywhere in your investigation.

They probably didn't think much of it. I didn't even think much of the time until people kept telling me I was gone for five days.

Trust me, dude, it's totally possible. [But he knows Gold has a point.] So maybe time wasn't important. What else?

Well... [Small pause.]

The first two days? Totally uneventful once the shock wore off, and pretty boring from what I remember. It's that last day where things got weird.

...with the monsters or whatever destroying town, right?

And with Haruki having a nervous breakdown over something.

Nervous breakdown? Paru said he was just standing there and watching everything get destroyed.

He was at first! Then... something happened and he started wigging out!

Like what? What happened?

I dunno... Everything seemed fine, him being a stubborn ass, then I got this wound right here from some falling debris. [He points at the bandaged wound on his cheek.] Then he started freaking out!
