It's time for a FAMILY MEETING!

[mermaidcursed]

Who: Everyone!
When: May 11th, 6 PM
Where: Class 1-B (Gaming Club Items have been stored safely) 
What: It's time for a family meeting! Because seriously some things need to be DISCUSSED.
WARNINGS: Death and murder, discussions of cannibalism

After a night of a feral cat losing it's goddamn mind, a day of half the adults and several students looking absolutely exhausted and more, and the end of the auction, clearly something is up. Plus, there'd been plans to investigate certain things after the last meeting that never had been elaborated on. So this time, Nene takes things into her own hands. So once again, transfer students will find a note in their lockers requesting their presence at Class 1-B at 6 PM, after everyone else has gone home. 

Even if last time was... kind of a mess. 

Is she desperate enough to enact a speaking ball? ... Not yet. But in her pockets is a brand new NERF gun and five darts. 

So she unearths the cardboard jail, set up around some desks in the corner, but otherwise clears the board and sets out pieces of chalk... but hoo boy, does she look kind of miffed? And it doesn't even have anything to do with Hanako-kun cracking up at Gay Baby Jail. He'll understand soon enough. 

On the board is several things in chalk- "LAST NIGHT", "NEW THINGS" and "FROM LAST TIME" with lines underneath, like she's perparing to take notes. Thankfully, there is more than one piece of chalk however. 

// OOC RULES 

As with last time, this is a free-for-all! Feel free to start discussions, theories, or share information and jump around between things and include everyone! Inviting others into the discussion is great, everyone should get a chance to be involved.

HOWEVER: LET THE OOC DISCOVERER SHARE THEIR OWN DISCOVERIES ICly. People work hard for their clues and information, and there should be no thunder-stealing!

Should there be any concerns or suggestions for the setup, please just let me know!

Komaeda mentioned our memories. ( for all the attempts y'all make to contain him, he can make himself useful. )

I don't have memories of anything further back than this school, but it seems like the other students can remember us from before we supposedly started here. I'd like to know how far back our collective memories of this place go, and if anybody else has connections to non-transfer students.

( at the very least, he thinks it's worth keeping in mind. could make use of it, for one thing. )

[Lucifer has taken over the note-writing for the time being because he's at the front of the room and he said so, so he jots that down. Nene is on nerf-gun and jail-wardening duties right now anyway.]

Thank you, that's helpful.

I can remember much of my "memories" at this school. They're fuzzy and bleary. I can remember elements from my life such as my siblings who are luckily not here at the moment, and for the most part I would wager that my memories of my life prior to arriving here are intact. However, what's in between the last place I recall myself being and waking up in a darkened classroom here is lost to me. Would you say you are having a similar experience?

[dangernoises]

I have a bunch of blurry memories myself, but I also do have these items as well... I feel like they may belong to someone within this school? Do you know anyone with the third piece?

[ Jekyll shows the Red and Green necklace. ]

[carpevinum]

Is this a trinket that someone would have given you? Interesting. No, I haven't actually seen a third piece floating about, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Thank you for bringing that up.

[Lucifer turns to gaze out at everyone else sitting in the room and announces a bit louder, just so they're clear,]

If you could all also keep an eye out for the third part of this necklace set, that would be helpful. It could be a missing piece to this horrid puzzle we're all stuck in, however small it may be.

[nortonnnn]

( to be fair, if norton isn't commenting from inside the jail, then he's certainly approached from that direction. )

Ah, yeah—they're not clear, but I do have memories of before, here. Maybe memories isn't the right word...

( to be honest, he doubts them deeply and often, it seems like he can't figure out an alternative word to use though, scratching at the back of his neck. )

I remember some other transfer students well, and other things that are missing details—who and where—but they're there. Nothing past the beginning of last year, though. And after the graduation ceremony... It was like you said. As if I closed my eyes in one place and opened them in another.

( with memories from where he came from—like a dream, you know? he seems rather frustrated with the fact. )

[carpevinum]

[Lucifer isn't oblivious to the frustration. He gets it, he does. At the same time, his own frustrations and dwelling on them isn't going to get him anywhere.]

I wonder why the gaps in our memories are so different from one another? I certainly remember — or can at least blearily recall — more than just the beginning of last year, but... hmm...

[He trails off, gripping his chin in thought, before addressing the room:]

...does anyone else have experiences they'd like to share on this regard? I'd like to see what the range we're working with is.

[mermaidcursed]

I have memories of being tutored by Hajime Hinata, as well as some... admittedly kind of vague familiarity with Izumi Sena? ( thems her onii-chans, alongside hajun, her classmate, and senku. ) But I can't place when they happened.

[carpevinum]

That's helpful. Thank you. May I ask if you have any memories going back to your time outside of this school as well? If they're too personal, you don't need to share. I'm only looking for a "yes" or "no".

[mermaidcursed]

Outside of...? Ah... It's a little hazy, but part of me feels like I do live in this town. I have memories of going home to my parents and everything. But I also remember my real life too.

( did she get it )

[carpevinum]

[she got it!]

You have the feeling of living locally alongside your genuine memories? How curious. I wonder if there's a correlation to be discovered between people who have genuinely lost most of their memories and are unable to recall much beyond the school itself, and those who have regained memories from their times outside of here. It could be nothing more than coincidence, but we can't afford to rule out any options.

...actually... If I recall correctly, you seem to be innately versed in some magic, or at the very least exposed to it, correct? Are there others here who are versed in magic and lacking memories from their prior lives outside of this school? If so, that rules out my hypothesis that those more versed in the magical arts would have an easier time recalling their pasts.

[mermaidcursed]

I'm not sure, I didn't... really think to ask, I'm sorry.

( she does know there are a few familiar with the supernatural- she's taken relief in speaking with them actually! but they didn't bring up their lives here in this town. however, lucifer might need to do some more sleuthing because... )

I don't think everyone's going to be entirely willing to come forward publicly though.

[carpevinum]

That's fine. I don't exactly blame them for that. There's no need to apologise; you've been helpful enough already.

[He's using his dad voice now. Nene is a good bean and he wants her to know.]

[mermaidcursed]

( nene just nods quietly, because this is a bit of an awkward topic- but she appreciates everything! )

[obsessiveness]

Kudo claims she knew me since middle school. And like, I guess I remember some people here from that? Yashiro and Kawai come to mind.

But the thing is that I legit do not remember Kudo at all. Normally I don't mind that much since apparently I'm popular in every school I go to, but it bothers me for a lot of reasons.

[ namely that weird crush on him that he doesn't feel like bringing up, bleh ]

[commences]

( komaeda will do it for you. )

...If I recall, Rokkun said that... Kudo-san's an artist, and they normally have an eye for people.

( a pause. )

Also that you were objectively beautiful.

( how does komaeda remember this? it'll cycle out soon. ) That means her crush on you has grown... and grown... ( he's just digging it in at this point. )

[obsessiveness]

[ makes a face at that ]

Huh? I'm not just objectively beautiful, but I'm pretty in every other way. Get that right next time.

[ yeah komaeda why aren't you swooning at izumi every time you get to share each other's exygen, huh. that said though: ]

But looks aren't everything, you know. I still don't get why she has that huge of a crush on me when I don't even remember our times together in middle school - if said memories really do exist.

[commences]

Rokkun said that, I'm only repeating.

( listen, komaeda actually loves beautiful people and dislikes ugly people. don't ask him which scale you're weighing on. )

...Anyway, if you can't remember, how can you judge her? Obviously she remembers.

( sighs, mean ass bitch. )

[obsessiveness]

But like, that's not fair. Don't you think it's a little contrived that she's suddenly part of my life now? The fact that Arata-senpai's referring to us with first-name basis like he knew us before is more than a little suspicious.

[ he's just not used to it??? he isn't supposed to be the forgetful one around here. ]

[commences]

( komaeda can agree, it's... weird. he doesn't recall either of them, nor why rokkun speaks to them on such a familiar basis. hell, he doesn't know when chiaki started to fall head over heels with izumi aside from it being middle school. )

He said that me and him were partners in crime.

( a small confession so that izumi doesn't have to feel alone in this... love problem of theirs? or something. ok, komaeda doesn't know what it is with rokkun, but there's no need latching onto it. )

That I promised something, and the only way to break it is... if he dies before me. ( of course, komaeda brushes it off with a smile. ) I wonder if Kudo-san has anything like that with you?

[obsessiveness]

Partners in crime for what? Don't tell me you two did something fucked up back in the day. It'd be just another Tuesday for you, but for senpai...

[ yo what is that wizard bullshit

so rokkun is that ready to die... izumi can't help but look worried for a hot second, but he snaps out of it at the mention of chiaki. ]

Guess there's only one way to find out, huh. [ siiiiiigh ] Fine, I'll go look into it. I may as well try to convince her if I could borrow her painting for a while, in case we could get more info out of it.

[commences]

Hm... ( he's thinking back, but his memories are filled with contents about the ultimates rather than rokkun. from his time in hope's peak to being locked in a simulation, he doesn't remember anyone like him being there. ) I didn't ask, but that's because I don't believe I'd work with a talentless fool like him.

( especially when there's only one group he's ever been with most of his life, but maybe izumi can find something out of chiaki. )

Ask for her first painting of you, that might have a few clues.
