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.]]

I have to say, dorms would be nice to have... Is there any way the rest of us can help?

( if it's funds they need, it would be nice if they had some contact with the outside world. come to think of it... )

Actually, if we're all attending this school as students, I wonder if there's a way we can ask about using funds from our families. If they want to keep up an act like this is a normal school, it means that somebody is probably paying fees for us to attend — some kind of fees, anyway. In that case, it wouldn't be strange for donations to be made towards a cause like this.

( he will single-handedly fund this dorm if they let him. not that he thinks it's likely that they will, all things considered, but he's willing to ask about it. )

[radnarok]

............Are you a rich guy?

[sisters]

I guess you could say that. Money isn't usually a problem for me, at least.

[radnarok]

Wah...I go to a rich guy school. Amazing. [ They didn't even need to pass a test. ]

How much candy do you think you could buy...

[sisters]

( ah... cute. you know what, let them think that — even the question has amami looking tentatively amused. )

Enough to share. ( a tilt of his head. ) You like sweets, then?

[radnarok]

Ragnorok liked them more, but I like them too.

[ They tilt their head right back! ]

You don't need to share if you don't want. I was just wondering.

[sisters]

I mean, I do kind of owe you — you granted my wish, after all. If there's something I can do to say thanks, I don't mind.

[radnarok]

Oh you saw that? Was it a helpful stone?

[ They pause sidling up to Amami. ]

...........um.....Can you make pasta?

[sisters]

Yeah — I keep it on me for good luck.

( and a smile creeps its way onto his face as they do. )

I think I could manage something.

[radnarok]

[ They bounce on their heels with excitement, balling their hands into little fists. ]

R-really? It's my favorite food, but the vending machine can't make it. I thought I'd have to go the rest of my life without pasta!

[sisters]

You don't know how to make it yet?

( the key word here being yet. )

I'm pretty good at cooking myself. If you don't mind, I can teach you a few pasta recipes I know.

[moraloutrage]

You can help by supporting the upcoming fundraising event! Rika Kawai is handling much of the organization. I do not think that a date has been hammered down yet, but I will be sure to keep you updated!

[He ponders for a bit on Rantaro's words.]

Hmmm...! That could be worth looking into! It is possible that are considered to be attending through scholarships or other special circumstances. But there is still a chance that you're right, in which case we should certainly see if we can trace and utilize such a paper trail! If someone is paying money for me to be here, I would like to know who to be cross with!

[sisters]

Kawai-san is, huh...

( trailing off, he looks troubled at the information; his brows pinch together, lips pulling into a bit of a grimace. )

It might be best to pursue some other avenues for now, and maybe check in about getting some extra help with planning the event. With everything that's happened, it feels like a lot of responsibility to leave to her alone, and I'm sure that there's a few of us who'd be willing to pitch in for something like this.

( suffice to say that she... might not be in a state to be worrying about maid cafes right now. )

As for the outside funds, I don't mind looking into that and getting back to you.

[moraloutrage]

It should be alright! I am helping her, after all, and I am sure that others will lend their aid as well, so she is certainly not alone in this venture! I will gladly encourage anyone to pitch in and help! [Especially people who are fine with dressing as butlers and/or maids!]

Thank you, Amami-kun. I look forward to your findings!

[moderating]

... Robotics and Programming club can make a fun game to sell to the other students? [ Throws an idea out there for fundraising dorms. ]

[moraloutrage]

A splendid idea, Nanami-kun! If that is feasible, then I certainly encourage pursuing such a project. Kids these days do love games a lot! I would also appreciate it if it has some level of educational value!

[moderating]

Mm! Mm! Maybe a puzzle game like Professor layton!

[ She loooves, puzzle games. Good idea Ishimaru! ]

[moraloutrage]

[He nods along eagerly.]

Puzzles can be quite stimulating for the mind! Especially if a certified professor is involved! I certainly approve of this, Nanami-kun!

[moderating]

... Professor Layton is a game character. Unless.... Maybe he is real too and can end up here?

[ Nanami says bewildered. ]

Wouldn't it be interesting if game characters and characters from stories keep ending up here... It feels like that because of everything I learn from everyone here sounds kinda like that.

[moraloutrage]

Anything seems to be possible in a place like this. I happen to have noticed several literary characters in this school!

[He's noticed Sherlock Holmes on the class roster... and he even has a Jekyll in his class!]

It- it could be quite interesting, if also confusing. I am not an especially avid follower of most fiction, so I do not know what to expect!

[moderating]

...

[ Wait Nanami was just joking dont fuck with her like that. ]

... You don't think... That holds some truth? Not that I think we fit that quota.

[ Me laughing maniacally. ]

[sisters]

In that case, I'll be leaving things in your hands, Ishimaru-kun. It looks like Nanami-san is willing to help too, so that's good.

[moraloutrage]

Indeed! I am glad to have some other potential ideas to explore already! Thank you, Amami-kun. I will continue to consider all possible options!

[Especially now that he's getting a sense of how bad things seem for Rika.]

[spiritoso]

You know, that's not a bad idea... I have some money from piano contests I've won in the past. It would be great if I could actually use it.

[ She doesn't really have her hopes up that she would be able to actually access that money, but it's a nice thought. ]

[sisters]

Yeah. In the school, it's useless to us because of the merit points system. For something like this though, it could make a pretty big difference.

( it could also tell them something about the space they're in; some of these people are very...

...

well, they don't feel like they belong to the world that amami remembers, at least. )
