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.]]

... Komaeda don't misunderstand. After everything is said and done, when it's obvious all you know about is your own understanding of hope. No one here wants to hear from you.

[ It's that simple, only because it's the truth. Neutral, why komaeda is fishing for a response from her marks her as strange but it is what it is. ]

... In the end everyone will do what they want. The least we can do is talk it out before going seperate ways. What do they want to do? What for?

[ Feelings that hold importantance, over attempting to kill each other. Komaedas selfishness instilling on others in their attempt to help has been doing the opposite. As she recalls Noah, Crona, Nene, and Hinata let alone other small moments.]

If you know they'll do whatever they want — let them, I wish to see how their hope flourishes.

( komaeda knows what he's about, what he wants to do, and how to do it — he'll act in any way to make sure their hope grows. be it killing, be it sacrificing his own life, when it comes down to it, his own act was that to make their hope even stronger. it did do what he expected, and he saw bonds comes together even though they didn't know. it's enough to satisfy him, but with what's happening now —

an ultimate being hurt because they protected an untalented, and the hope of a young girl wavering — there's even the pieces of a puzzle that's not fully put together between them all. there's a long sigh, if this is what nanami decides to do as an ultimate then all komaeda can do is do what he'd do for everyone too. )

Witnessing such despairing instances like this is fine, let it go up in flames and spread wildly, because once it's all burned out... what's leftover will blossom beautifully.

... The point is to stop that. [ There is a pause and the next question is more personal. ]

Ne, ne.... Why cant you trust me? Like you asked me to trust you with Akira-san? [ Regarding the plan to pursue Akira but she is thankful that, it had not happened and they focused on building trust instead. In the end she was happy to have trusted Komaeda in that moment. Or maybe she was fooled? ] You have been working hard this whole time, I think its time you sat down... You have a lot to think about, and what you've done.... This isn't something for you to stand up and speak on every ones behalf.

...

( akira. the last time komaeda saw him, he had already looked beat up with a damaged arm, and he used his own well-being to save rokkun when he was... there's a frown that appears on komaeda's features, just for a moment, and then he sighs like he's bored of this conversation.

it doesn't matter anymore, they'll get through it. )

Is doing this your hope?

[moderating]

... Mmm... Mmm... Trust me a little more.

[ Nanami says reflectively. ]

[commences]

...

( he's not at ease with that, rather, it makes him look off to the side. )

Trust you after... hearing you want something done to me?

[moderating]

... You chose to kill someone Komaeda.

[ That's the truth in the end. ]

... When someone takes action, people want justice. However killing you is not an answer.

[ And whose to say you wont get tied up again or something else worse.... What if someone else decides on their own what justice means? How to enact on it? If no one else wants to them self, seeing with Rika having tried to fight Natsume from her own rage. ]

[commences]

I didn't choose, I did what had to be done, there was no choice.

( but he won't be scolded for it. )

You should be mindful of what you do and say, Nanami-san. If you want to help... think of how this will reflect on Hinata-kun.

( they'd be better killing komaeda off, but he shrugs his shoulders as he takes a step back. )

I'm bored now. ( he's going to dip out to find stephanie. )

[ Nanami looks over to him, and his comments are one who clearly entails to switch, manipulate, and change the situation for their betterment. It was enough, Nanami knows not to tangle with Komaedas mental state especially like this however - the last comments gets her to say at least this much. ]

... The only one who needs to reflect on their action and how it will effect Hajime, is you.

[ Is ultimately all she says. Because he thinks 'Well I killed someone, and brought people together.'

But did he?

Individually people are upset and broken about Komaeda and this reveal, all the 'Hope Fragments' he collected. By which she means friendships, are now in ruin. He killed and broke the trust and belief system people had in him and he because he does not see things that way. What will this bode for the future? He is no longer apart of a world that was ruined by despair, this was a new sort of reality he was struggling to work with. However Nanami is not able to push her own will or even stop someone from doing what they individually want to do.

She cant do that with Komaeda - or anyone. Frankly no one can, ultimately Komaedas obsession with hope will continue to guide him forward and all anyone can do. Is watch, and be mindful for what is said and done by him. However - people want justice and want atonement for what was said. If he cannot understand how his actions effected others poorly. That his notion of controlling pools of people and where they go next in the fashion that he does.

Is not helping, then there was only so much anyone can do. Ultimately that was for him and his other friends to work around. Even if Nanami herself, is trying on her own end. By no longer standing for his own actions. ]

... Komeada you need to stop, you're not helping anyone but your self.

[ In the end that much was true. Though she had no idea, how much the weight of feeling like what he's done has brought ruin to others around him currently. Knowing nothing of his situation. ]
