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.]]

[He'll notice her there at some point. It's so bizarre and feels strangely crushing to see Rika so... still and silent. And maybe on some level, it's like a reflection of how he's been during some difficult times. He knows there's not much he can do, but he eventually steps away for a little while, and he returns with a small bag of apple slices.

He tries to approach her from the front. Acknowledging Amami with a nod, he silently holds out the apple slices as an offer for her.]

[contrarily]

( she appreciates the gesture, she really does — it's hard to express it, but... people showing her care does make her feel a little better. and then it also doesn't, because what if they're next? )

Don't waste your time with me, Marumaru. You must be even busier than usual, huh? ( but she takes the slices anyway... )

[moraloutrage]

I may be busy, but looking out for a friend is never a waste of time.

[He smiles lightly as she takes his offering.]

...Just consider this to be a bribe. I am bribing you to feel better!

[contrarily]

Woow, a bribe? For Marumaru to steep down to these kind of tactics...

[moraloutrage]

You leave me no choice! This... this is my wild side!

[contrarily]

( ...

..... snicker. )

Thanks, Marumaru. For turning completely and irredeemably evil for me!

[moraloutrage]

[He almost looks like he's going to protest and reject that notion! But he calms himself down, reminding him that he's just joking around.]

I suppose that your sinister wiles got to me in the end! [He smiles.]

Now you know, even I am capable of joking around every now and then!

[contrarily]

( "sinister wiles" ishimaru...

she can't help but smile... stupid. )

Pfft — I'm so proud of you, Marumaru! ( listen, it's cute, seeing a different side of him. but also, seeing him trying for her... as bad as she feels right now, it's still comforting. ) Even if you kind of called me a demon just now. Sinister wiles... like a succubus!

[moraloutrage]

[He's Trying. Rika seems to be worth it. She might have been pure frustration upon their first meeting, but she's also shown herself as someone who really cares. ...And it feels really bad seeing her in such a state, so he feels glad for every bit of comfort he can give her.]

A succubus... [He blushes slightly and chuckles.] If you are proud of that, then perhaps that is your true form! ...I-in any case, I am glad that you are pleased with that. I... shall go forth and continue to carry out your dark will!

[contrarily]

( she does care, sometimes a little too much, sometimes a little too misguided, but — while terrible at expressing it, she still does. she doesn't generally expect people to see past facades, nor does she necessarily want them to, preferring to keep others at a comfortable distance, but...

it hasn't been working out very well, lately. and it unfortunately bit her in the ass, too. )

That's right! And now Marumaru is a succubus' attendant, so be proud of it, got that?!

[moraloutrage]

[He's seen enough hints that she's not just awful, and it also helps that he's generally a hopeful person, who is trying to see the best in others. That's the only way they can all work together and keep on improving themselves, after all!

Now he blushes a little more.]

Perhaps I have... joked around a bit too much. [He clears his throat.] V-very well, your... ah... Your Majesty!

[With that, he offers a formal bow and dismisses himself. He helped her to feel better, for the moment before everything gets sent back to hell so he feels accomplished!]
