yogen | 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.]]

( he doesn't have it on him for once, because... well. gestures at the very depressed and self-destructive teenagers, but... )

I actually have something that might assist in void exploration. I discovered a compass- unlike regular compasses however, it's magnetic north is our clocktower, no matter what.

[Sidneyyyy you always come through for him]

Where did you find such an object? I suppose it doesn't matter, but that would be rather useful. It would certainly allow us to travel deeper...

[And, because he's Lucifer:]

Would you like to come with me? I bet I can carry you.

[:)]

It showed up in my locker. I'd be happy to show you later. It may be worth seeing if the clocktower would effect any sort of compass like that however- I don't like the idea of putting all our eggs in one basket, so to speak.

( ... lu. ah, nevermind, he'll roll with it. )

We can certainly find out.

[It might be hard but Lucifer has carried Beelzebub before, he can get Sidney, he's pretty sure he can. Flying might be an issue but it's the principle of the matter and that matter is Pick Up Sidney.]

I agree with you, though I'm not sure where to get another compass unless it's by sheer dumb luck. And, regardless, I wouldn't throw either of us into the void without ensuring that I can lift you adequately first.

[why are you Like That]

( lucifer absolutely can, sidney is just a man- and formerly, briefly, a doll. don't worry about it. but that doesn't mean sidney knows how to be carried. they might need to test some things first. )

We can likely make one- we have quite a few brilliant students among us.

[thread where lucifer picks up sidney and walks around the school with him]

You have a fair point. I might ask Senku for his assistance on the matter... I hesitate to ask Add. I've heard rumours about that kid, alongside working with him for a bit.

[Lucifer out here like praise Add for his help but also he's insane.]

( start of july, it's happening. )

... Can't say I'm familiar with any Add. Really though, I don't believe we'll need much. Even being able to make something with a cork, needle and magnet would work for testing purposes, at the very least.

( they can make a science lesson out of it. )

[Good luck Sidney, surely you will be soon! ~~Noah stabbed him after all.~~]

That almost certainly sounds like something Senku would be more than capable of. [And like anyone who knows DIY science but that someone is not Lucifer because Lucifer didn't know what a roomba was until 2 weeks ago.] He made this moving... vacuum cleaner. Out of cardboard.

[Sidney you're from the 1920s help a guy out here, be baffled with him.]

( just... stares for a moment... )

Excuse me? ( you know what, no, he's not dealing with this today. ) ... Yeah, he can definitely handle a DIY compass.

I'm not kidding. [Time for the old confused demon man to talk about things the Devildom doesn't have! He needs Sidney to Know.] I happened to exit my homeroom and saw it bumbling around by itself, unsupervised. I, reasonably, assumed it was possessed or some other magical item.

[He's going to gloss over the part where he was mildly terrified of it and puffed up like a cockatoo.]

Senku picked it up and explained to me that it's relatively harmless, but for a moment, I had reason to doubt it was. It's some DIY robotics project, if I was understanding the situation correctly.

[Lucifer holds up his hands and makes the relative shape of the cardboard roomba with his hands, trying to give Sidney a size estimate.]

... I wonder if it's still around.

( what with the fucking... giant-ass death ball. god. what the hell was this place. he hates it. )

Still, I'm not surprised, considering Senku regularly takes on a teaching role with the study club rather than learning himself...

We'll talk to him about the compasses and test where they wind up pointing. Then we can experiment a bit more with the one I received.

[wow rude??? praise him more and drop the other part]

If it's to do with that void, I'll be involved anyway. I'm familiar with navigating such dimensions.

[he knows what he said he's not taking it back]

Oh, you're here. Great. [Not even acknowledging being an asshole.] You're welcome to come back with me again, but we're not going to do anything too reckless. You can serve as a compass just fine.

[^^]

Recklessness is necessary if you want to acquire useful data... but at early stages of exploration, scouting like this isn't too bad. [he wants the danger but he'll settle for safe, boring experiments for the time being, sighs]

"Familiar with navigating" doesn't mean that I'm a compass. My usual methods won't work here, but if that tool can provide a reference point then measuring the properties of that space should be a piece of cake.

[Lucifer thinks Add is going to die before he turns ten.]

Right. I'll see about getting a compass — a real one as a baseline, and then we can use Sidney's — for us. Or you, for that matter, since you'll be the one who needs it more than I would. If there are other implements you'd need for full exploration that you can think of, let me know. I'll have limited carrying capacity, but you're small, so...

[joke's on YOU lucifer, he died at 21!!!!!!!!!]

I wouldn't expect an amateur to know what to bring even if I explain it... I can acquire my own tools.

It's time for another FAMILY MEETING!!
