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.]]

If you're going to have an attitude...

( it only takes so much for komaeda to get over it, and since chihiro was one themselves, komaeda is able to pick the topic back up, but right now... why help someone who seems a little irritated? he glances over to the mirror, staring at his own reflection that seems detached from the situation already. bored, possibly, and he wonders if that's a bad look to have in front of ishimaru. he must appear heartless, though he's lucky his heart feels something else — he loves all ultimates, he's concerned for their well-being, and so it pains him to know that chihiro's whereabouts isn't pleasant. )

I don't want to talk about it anymore...

( he falls silent as he wraps an arm around his waist, his fingers tapping against his own side in thought. he should just go back to the meeting because who knows what's waiting for them. )

We can go back now, thank you for the conversation, Ishimaru-kun.

What, just like that?! [He barks, his anger reaching a boiling point. He tries to be patient, but eith everything that happened and the hint of what Komaeda saw - he's Done.

...And this is even before learning about his murder!]

Enough of - of the bullcrap! I wish that I could be more patient with you, but I'm afraid that you've exhausted that well down past it's last drop! If you know something important, just say it! No one's going to feel more "hope" if you're keeping secrets all the time and being so difficult about it!

Yep, just like that.

( he says that he wishes he could be more patient, but komaeda doesn't believe that, instead, maybe this is what ishimaru wanted anyway. why should he explain everything, ishimaru isn't the only one who has lost or almost lost, everything is breaking at the seams for komaeda too. though, he won't tell him that, instead he listens to how the other's worries fester over his messing friend, over wanting to protect the people here. )

Do you hate me, Ishimaru-kun? You should... I don't deserve any patience from an Ultimate.

( his voice low, and a sigh leaves past his lips after, but he thinks that's him for now — he's done, he's ready to go. the moment he turns away, there's a certain color that settles in his eyes for a quick second — whatever color it is... it surely isn't green — either way, this is done for the cute, dramatic effect because ishimaru won't be able to see very clearly as komaeda makes his way out the bathroom. )

[He tries to calm down a bit, but he still remains quite tense.]

I do not hate you. [He says that curtly. He's about to go on, but that's about all he can say while Komaeda turns to leave. It's frustrating, endlessly frustrating to deal with him while he's trying to find any kind of answers that can help this group. Ultimately, he's ended up feeling like this whole trip to the bathroom has been a big waste. In any case, there doesn't seem to be anything else of note here. Time to return to the meeting...]
