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.]]

Am I aware of what you're accusing...?

( he can play this game, actually, it sounds fun if he really invests in it. the sad thing about that is, he's too caught up with his thoughts to really take advantage of what's going on. instead, cants his head to the side, reading her expression to see if he can tell what she's thinking as if what she's saying isn't obvious. )

I guess I have an idea. ( he pauses, drumming his fingers on the table, and his voice comes off sarcastic. ) That his arm just got up and walked away, this school is pretty weird.

[insecution]

You ‘guess’?

[ Shinobu’s eyes fly wide. Nagito thinks this is funny, the little bastard. It doesn’t matter that Izumi was a living, breathing person. It doesn’t matter that he was a student that used to walk the same halls and sit in the same classrooms they do. Nagito doesn’t care. To him, this is all just a joke.

The emotion welling up in her chest, white-hot and furious, has her heart ripe to burst. It takes every last bit of self-restraint she has not to vault over the table between them and give him a piece of her mind. ]

What do you mean, you ‘guess’? What did you do to him? Why did you desecrate his body?!

[sisters]

( oh there's no way komaeda's not going to fuck this up... concern. )

[crystallomancy]

( get his ass, shinobu )

[commences]

( go back to getting caught you murderer )

[crystallomancy]

( don't be jealous that he got to pin shuichi-kun against a locker......... it's not sexy of you )

[commences]

( talk to me when you slob all over him OK? go back to giving izumi that good throat game that you did, b*tch. )

[crystallomancy]

( so unbecoming of you....... )

[commences]

This isn't the time to make assumptions.

( no matter how true they are, because he did cut off his finger, and then removed his arm right after to take it for personal reasons. he wanted to check something, but he doubts that she would take that as an answer, so instead he makes it worse for himself. there's a tired sigh as he leans back in his chair, the sleeve of his jacket following that it slides off the table to hang, and a shrug of his shoulders right after. )

...Who are you?

( sometimes he watches someone get ripped to shreds and he loses motivation for an investigation if no new information is given, this is pretty natural. losing limbs seem to be a pretty normal standard as of late, so he's not too pressed considering his arm is also missing. what makes izumi's limbs so special that they're gone, besides, he's a dead body anyway! )

[sisters]

( he's watching... very closely... and sitting very tense... )

[insecution]

[ Shinobu rears back, ready to… do something. With every set of eyes in the room on them, though, she thinks better of it, and her arms fall slack at her sides. Only the immature let their emotions take hold and lash out like this.

And Shinobu Kochou is not immature. ]

Who I am isn’t important. I don’t ever want to have to hear you say my name, either.

[ Her voice is quiet, but not calm. What anger she’s managed to keep off her face is starting to bleed into her words. ]

I do, however, want to hear what you have to say for yourself.

[commences]

( oh, she's that type of person, and if he had energy to laugh, he absolutely would. instead, he doesn't think that's appropriate, and instead it would be best to approach this a gentler way. getting under her skin would do nothing for the investigation, and having her attitude sour will make it difficult for others to deal with her. as he thinks about it, he doesn't want to deal with that sort of negativity when such hopeful individuals are around them. )

You have selective hearing? Well, too bad. I decided I don't want to talk about it anymore.

( since she's willing to choose what she wants to hear and not hear, komaeda guesses he can say whatever he wants at this rate. it's only fair! )

Get me a glass of water if you want to stand there like a maid all day.

[contrarily]

Hey, call a girl your maid again and I'll beat your ass myself.

( what the fuck? bitch? )

[commences]

...Okay, Kawaii-san. Forgive me.

( he looks at shinobu, sighing as he picks a better choice of words. )

Jester.

[closewithnewintown]

[hi hello a tiny hand just tugging on your sleeve really quick, whispering urgently.]

Komaeda, um... Doesn't really see things like normal people see things? He can't actually help it. But, he's, um, mostly harmless! You just need to be patient...

[commences]

( no, where is these watchful gazes coming from, and then seeing stephanie come... komaeda frowns, he really does have bad luck, and if that starts now... )

...

( how does he say something like she shouldn't get hurt because of him, or rather, how does he say anything. )

It's because I have awful luck... I didn't mean to bring trouble upon you, Meanswell-san, it's best to ignore me.

[closewithnewintown]

[sighs] Don't apologize for stuff that isn't your fault. It's my choice to defend my friends.

Just... tell her your reason, okay? [she gives him a little smile.] I know you have one. Even if it's weird, we'll just go from there.

[commences]

There's no need to protect trash like me, that's the last thing anyone wants to do...

( big sigh... listen, he just doesn't want his luck to get her! there's some dread in his mind, but as long as he doesn't think of the positive outcome of someone being nice, or trying to be a friend... it can be avoidable. maybe he deserves his ass beat by shinobu. )

I don't want to point fingers, but Ouma-kun would know...

( the whereabouts of the finger because komaeda put it in his locker for his birthday, now where it went from there... he's not too sure. this probably isn't the information that stephanie is looking for, but it answers a few future questions if they have them. )

[closewithnewintown]

[it's enough information for her to put two and two together and get five.]

... You gave Kokichi Izumi's finger as a birthday present, didn't you.

[insecution]

I am patient.

[ Says Shinobu, who has definitely run out of patience. She’s trying to hide the fact with a smile, but it’s obviously not fooling anyone if she’s concerning Stephanie. ]

But what this young man has done is beyond reprehensible. I don’t think he deserves my patience.

[moderating]

... I agree, Nagito is someone who does a lot that is reprehensible. Though the same can be said for many of the people here.

[ She over heard the conversation and is listening, actually she agrees with him and is annoyed with Komaeda herself. Despite that she knows he probably took it to look for clues - the senselessness of his actions however. Have thus effected everyone, again Komaeda and his lack of reading the world around him. ]

Do you think you could get to him? Make him stop?

[closewithnewintown]

He tires himself out, eventually... [like he's a misbehaving toddler.]

[moderating]

... Sometimes until he decides to act up and do something about what he says.


[ Ultimately, he was always someone you keep an eye on and make sure they didn't deter to far from their own path but without all of class 77-B here.... Wel... ]

[insecution]

Rest assured that he will pay dearly for what he’s done.

[ What payment she’s after is for her to know and Nanami to never find out. ]

[contrarily]

( get his ass queen )
