It's time for another FAMILY MEETING!!

[carpevinum]

[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.]]

( OH MY GOD. )

It was incomPLETE.

[sunstead]

It was, now, wasn't it? And what would happen if someone were to complete it—or try to?

Actually, let's talk about how someone did complete that circle, also on the network for everyone to see! Even if that was a joke, it's a joke in poor taste. Imagine if someone tried that for themselves and made just the right amount of lucky guesses to make something happen! You saw how much trouble a bunch of tiny imps got into. Imagine if someone accidentally summoned an even bigger demon than that. Who do you think would be responsible for cleaning up the mess, hmm? Because I'll tell you right now, it's not going to be me!

[crystallomancy]

( WH- )

It isn't my problem at that POINT. If they summon someTHING, then that's on them - they should've done a little more research into IT, especially as it's something dangerOUS.

( ...... :/ )

But I concede it's not something for beginners to play around WITH, and I'm sorRY.

[sunstead]

Natsume... [yes he is getting dad voiced, you can tell because noah is probably cringing at that tone reflexively] when teaching magic, it's your responsibility to make sure that the spell you taught can't be misused. If there's a flaw in the spell, or it's incomplete, it's not the student's fault for not being taught incorrectly. They're putting their trust in you to teach it right, and it's your failure if you cut corners that lead to people getting hurt.

... But we all make mistakes, and what's important is that we learn from them. [and Clamor is definitely not one to be throwing magic spells at glass houses here, so he smiles and reaches over to give Natsume... a light hair ruffle™] Let's all be a little more careful from now on, okay?

[crystallomancy]

( AUGH....... DON'T TOUCH HIM... HE'S MAKING A FACE AND MOVING AWAY... )

Whatever you SAY.

[sunstead]

[sorry he's gonna laugh a little at that, cute, natsume rly is still a kid huh...]

[silentabyss]

[yeah from where noah's sitting on the floor holding angel he is literally cringing into a singularity, i just wanted to confirm that this is a real thing that's happening, do not perceive him]

[moderating]

.. That is concerning. I didn't know you could teach other people magic including those who live in this realm... [ SHE IS LOOKING AT THEM BOTH. SHE WANTS TO LEARN MAGIC. SHe wont say anything, because actually the prospect of magic and killing is kinda eye mojis.]

Doesn't that also make these murders.... Something we should be more careful about if some of you can use powerful magic like that?

[crystallomancy]

( Nanami-chan... )

...It DOES, but it's easy to tell a magical murder from a non-magical ONE. I preSUME. The culprit pool would be significantly LESS.

[moderating]

... We should keep that in mind, at this point there is no motive for anyone of us to do killings outside of individual enjoyment. [ Which is why the list also narrows down, that is if we can figure out who will kill willy nilly versus not... And then the magic bit. ] Ne, ne if you knew magic why don't you teach us some protection magics?

[crystallomancy]

( haha, )

As staTED, I'm a magician of happiness — I only guide and deliver those willing to accept my help to the ending they wish to travel TO, or at least close enough that they can reach it themSELVES. I don't deal in protection SPELLS... but I do know how to make some talismans to help dispel misforTUNE, so perhaps those could be of some assisTANCE.

[moderating]

!!!

I think everyone is going to need your protection spells and help after all of this. You should think about offering more of yourself and time to others, if theres anything I can do to help with that. With everything the way that it is, and how everyone seems to be struggling to settle into the school....

[ Because ultimately Nanami starts to realize this is no different from Jabberwock island, and if this is about killing in order to escape. Then she is starting to think how Monomi thinks... Which is intersting bc she is inside Nanamis bag with her head poking out. Thats not important so anyway. The point is, Nanami is starting to think they should prepare themselves for living here... Until the next - forever. ]

[crystallomancy]

( ...well, well. )

I'll see about putting up a notice on the bulletin board next MONTH.

[moderating]

... If you need help, just ask okay!

[ She raises her arm up as if she were strong - like Sonia does actually. ]

[carpevinum]

Incomplete summoning circles are half the reason that summoners get injured. Those without sufficient experience in summoning will inevitably harm themselves or be unable to control that which they call forth, in addition. I've seen countless imbeciles over the years improvise a circle, or forget to protect themselves properly with a lamen, or any of those sorts of things.

Do not [mom voice activate] share even incomplete spells. Human curiosity will inevitably lead them to try and complete the spells themselves, improperly.

[crystallomancy]

( ugh........... he's really getting parented, except his parents don't act like this over anything. this is a bad new experience and he doesn't like it. )

As you WISH.
