It's time for another FAMILY MEETING!!

[There's a sign posted on 3-C on the 27th ~~the future is now~~ indicating that it's that time of month! That's right, it's time for the family meeting!

Lucifer is in charge this time and he is holding a whip, so please behave yourselves or you might get a warning crack near your head. Or don't behave yourselves. He's not your dad. He will, however, try his hardest to keep you all on track.

As Lucifer is also one of the Team ~~Moms~~ Dads, he's also made everybody lunch as he is wont to do. The rather fancy-looking food is set up on a couple of desks at the front of the classroom to peruse at your leisure. There are cookies and muffins as well, but please try to eat a real lunch instead of subsisting off of sweets entirely.

On the whiteboard, Lucifer has written the following topics & talking points that he'd like to discuss with everybody, and has requested that you all raise your hands so that this can be done in an orderly fashion... ~~Good luck, Luci.~~

Who is missing? Who is confirmed deceased?
The gladiatorial battle — is it possible that those who died previously may come back to inflict further harm? Any guesses?
What the Hell was going on last weekend?
The void in the auditorium is infinite
Results of last month's investigations that we agreed on doing
The imps plaguing the school have been removed (thank you to Clamor for his assistance)
Have we discovered anything new?

Last but not least, the final bullet is one hundred percent something that Lucifer clearly wants to do, and it reads simply:

Instating a chore chart

So that's... fun.]

Let's try to keep this more orderly than the last one, shall we?

[And yes, the cardboard baby jail is set up in the back of the classroom! Naughty children go to cardboard baby jail. Naughtier children get a whip cracked at them. Have fun, everyone!]

[[OOC: The usual rules of the family meeting posts apply, which means threadjacking/general mingling is allowed and encouraged! Please remember to only share information your character discovered ICly to avoid metagaming. Also no Lucifer will not actually cause physical harm to anyone's characters with the whip unless player permission is granted, I'm not as psychotic as he is, don't worry about it.]]

[ ... girl ]

Are you insinuating that we play out a murder? [ He hums in thought, a finger underneath his chin. ] That wouldn't be a bad idea, I guess... we just need to find someone who wouldn't mind playing victim, and see if we can potentially keep them hidden long enough. Though that's hoping the plan works.

[a much too long pause]

I was actually wondering if I could just... borrow somebody's real one? [...] Your idea sounds nicer, though! It'd just be a lot trickier to pull off.

So... you want to borrow one of the corpses? Or you want to kill someone?

[ HE NEEDS CLARIFICATION. ]

I mean, if somebody is getting murdered anyway, can I just... borrow the blame? It's not like they actually investigate it or anything. And then whoever turns me in gets extra points! [THERE IS LITERALLY ZERO DOWNSIDES besides the murder]

This is an insane idea and you're much too young to be putting this plan together. [ In his opinion, anyway. ] But we can definitely keep it in mind, especially since you won't harbor any ill will for getting blamed.

[kill bill sirens]

I wasn't asking for permission.

It's a great idea! It has to happen! The only people who'll ever get to really speak to the counselor are... Do you really trust somebody like Hyde to ask the right questions? He's cuckoo! We'll never learn anything!

I think you'll at least need a heads up though, right?

[ He waves a hand dismissively. ]

He's submissive enough. At least enough screws in his head to pull off one thing right -- still, do you think you're prepared to approach someone like that?

[nods decisively] He makes more sense than all the other grown ups here. They're all just playing along with the game. He's not. He's different.

He's just a villain. I can handle villains.

You think of him a villain?

[ Hajun is honestly just like... what's up with this clown. But if he thinks it over, someone like Iori would want him dead. ]

Maybe.

He's the only person so far who acts like one. All the other ones cry just a little bit too much. [there's a crying threshold it's a very scientific study]

We may be able to assist with this plan.

(They interrupt, after a moment of consideration.)

... [quietly] You probably shouldn't tell the others that you're planning on doing murders.

(Their headflaps flutter, little lights flashing.)

You misunderstand: we are not offering to play the part of a murderer, but the corpse.

We posess neither breath nor heartbeat: Geth deactivation is indistinguishable from death.

Oh! [ And speaking joyously: ] That's perfectly convenient, actually.

... Do you really think it would work? [hoping against hope that somebody doesn't have to literally die for her selfish gain...]

The heretics used similar tactics to fool organics with access to considerably more advanced technology.

(They'd deactivate and be smuggled somewhere hidden in crates, then spring to life once inside and murder everyone.)

Oh, wow! And this place doesn't have any technology at all!

[SHE'S SO EXCITED she's just grinning, bouncing on her feet. GUESS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING LEGION a hug from a little girl. you have no say in the matter.]

Thank you so much! I promise, I'll work really hard and make sure you're extra safe the whole time!

And if you do die we know exactly who to blame!

[ POSITIVITY! YAY! ]

(They make a startled, awkward noise at the sudden contact, but don't push her away.)

Request: do not allow him (They gesture at Add.) unsupervised access to our platform.

[on one hand: add might get his one chance to dismantle a cool robot.... but what if someone else gets there first, and fucks something up, or Legion gets permanently damaged from some idiot trying to saw their arm off or gouge out their parts for the hell of it??]

... Deactivation means vulnerable to whatever idiocy the general population here might try. I won't allow it.

You do not dictate our actions.

You'll be deactivated. What are you going to do about it?

If you go through with this plan, I will be supervising. That's non-negotiable.

(Unhappy chattering.)

We are not the only one involved in this plan.

(And they're going to be absolutely sure to tell people to not let Add near their body alone.)

The morons here can't even treat a human corpse correctly, what makes you think they'll know how to safely handle an unconscious machine? Damage is likely to be sustained, intentional or not. What if someone is unaware of the plan and attempts to remove or dismantle the "body"? Too risky. Someone needs to be on standby, who has the knowledge and experience necessary to prevent or repair any potential damages.

I won't tolerate a machine being mistreated. [says the guy who regularly harasses both the robots in his class.......]

(They raise a headflap.)

Error: you have mistreated us multiple times.

Geth platforms are designed to be stored and transported while inactive.

(Someone could roll them down the stairs and unless they were already pretty broken they'd probably be fine.)
