give your friends a surprise

Who: EVERYONE
What: FAMILY MEETING
When: 8/4, right after school closes.
Where: Student council room
Warnings: Eventually, probably.

["If my friends back home were acting like this, I would've already locked them in a room and forced them to figure out their feelings."

the job puts all of her considerable superspy skills to the test. she knows where every normal kid's locker is; it's easy enough to slip the note into each that morning. if it's someone who she knows would be unable to read the note, she tells them its contents, but keeps her own involvement out of it. lies of omission don't count.

the note reads:]

I have very important information about this place. Please come to the student council room after school ends today.

- Nao Sato

[and if the text looks just a bit girlier than you'd think she'd write, hey, you don't know her. she's got layers.

either way, it's a pretty interesting proposition: the student council room door is, for the first time in seemingly ever, wide open. anyone can walk inside - and, hopefully, most everyone should. because it's only when Stephanie thinks that she's got enough of them inside that she actually enters the room, shutting the door behind her.

click.

it locks. she grins, spins the key on her finger, and slips it into her pocket.

"How are you supposed to do that with grownups?"

the exact same way, she's decided.]

We haven't had any meetings since, um. Well. The last one. But, I'm pretty sure nobody has no more murders to report, so it shouldn't be too bad, and we can all just focus on the most important task: Getting along! All of us are on the same team, but most of us barely even know each other; some of us even hate some of the others! [SHE SAYS, LIKE SHE DOESN'T ACTIVELY DESPISE KOKICHI] So, I figured we could spend the evening fixing that problem. Play some games, talk about stuff we've discovered since the last time...

And, maybe, if everybody does a really good job, I'll unlock the door!

[LOUDLY FROM ACROSS THE ROOM] You can go hide in the void if you're both that afraid of emotional connections.

I hate emotions! They're for babies!

( STOP )

Acting out 'cause you're scared of your own feelings is literally what babies do. You're the baby.

I can't be scared of my own feelings if I don't have any!

Now, now... no need to argue, can't you see that Kawaii-san doesn't do good around people...

( truthfully, komaeda can't stand loud places, and this will only get bad as time goes on. )

Can't you at least let her get a snack...

If you're both very good, you can have an apple in ten minutes!

[lol @ thinking she'd bring good snacks]

...

( flicks the box cutter open )

Apples with salt aren't that bad, but... I don't think our friend is too pleased with just an apple.

( looks at the box cutter, looks towards stephanie. )

Will you cut them into little bunny shapes for her, and bring it on a silver platter with a drink from the vending machine... maybe that'll satiate her bloodlust.

[grins, leaning back]

If you give in every time somebody throws a tantrum, that's all they'll ever do. Big kids aren't that much different from little ones.

( this conversation is stupid and she does NOT want an apple. and especially not with salt? the fuck.

anyway, she just stabs herself in the thigh, right next to komaeda's head, to prove a point. the blood splatters in his hair, and now the lice are going to have food and multiply. see what y'all did?? )

[pops key into mouth]

( stabs komaeda in the shoulder next )

( lifts up because some blood is getting into his hair, but he isn't bothered by that, actually... he's running his fingers through like it's conditioner.

UNTIL he's stabbed in the shoulder, and he flinches with a hand lifting to the wound. now her blood and mixed with his blood, and you know what... he'll grab her hand so that she can push in deeper. )

If you want to kill me right before her eyes...

[rolls her eyes when komaeda speaks but otherwise does nothing.]

I mean, we've seen enough death, it's not that traumatizing anymore.

( but she doesn't take her hand away. if komaeda wants to drive the box cutter deeper into the wound then he's welcome i guess... if he wants to mix their blood like a freak...

anyway, she handicapped herself with that thigh stab, but she'll look around for more victims to sacrifice to steph. )

That doesn't mean you have to send us to the void school over snacks.

( listen, you called? )

That's good, don't you know? If we're able to steel her nerves in this manner, that means we've done our job.

( you know, it's always good to make sure that the youth learn from their adults — like rika and komaeda! he'll remove his hands since that is true, it's hardly a traumatic experience, but at least stephanie doesn't seem bothered by it anymore, what a strong girl. as he looks around — speak of the amami, there's the devil! )

Welcome, Amami-kun! Do you want to take a stab at me too?

No. ( flatly. ) And I'd rather you didn't encourage this either, Komaeda-kun.

( first of all, contrary to udg, ten year olds shouldn't be getting used to seeing violence. second of all, can't you go, like, go stab yourself or something? no wait, scratch that, amami's kind of sick of seeing all y'all do this. )

Ah, Ran-tan...

( since komaeda lets go of her hand, she pulls the box cutter out of the wound and motions for amami to come closer. listen... she's still got komaeda on her lap, and her thigh's bleeding, so she can't just move over. )

Do you wanna be the next sacrifice? We're fighting for freedom here, freedom!

( she's gonna start getting lightheaded soon — )

If you need to stab anyone, you can stab me, Kawaii-san... an Ultimate shouldn't have to suffer for our mistakes.

( of getting caught, but you know laying on her thigh means some blood squirts into his eye... and he's going to lean up so he can wipe of away or something. she's going to pass out amami, do something quick! )

You're already stabbed. You're old news.

( plus, nobody cares when she or komaeda get hurt, clearly...

it has to be someone with some sort of value, they're just fucking trash. )

( listen the moment i can figure out how to jump in NENE'S COMING TO CARE FOR YOUR ASS. SHES GOT BANDAGES AND STUFF!!!! )

It's not like you're locked in here for life. Honestly, it probably won't be more than an hour or two...

( he is going to come in closer though, eyeing the fucking Stab wound on her thigh. he looks troubled — there's a clear association going on here. )

I just hate feeling like I'm a trapped animal, you know...

( she sighs, glancing over to the stab, then back to amami. ah, yeah... he knows how she works — which is to say, not healthily — and she motions him closer, still, extending the hand with the box cutter to point at him. )

Just your finger is fine. ( and she holds it up there, expecting him to stab himself for her because, well.

wouldn't he? )

Then you should see why something like this is more helpful than not.

( the school gives him way more of a "trapped animal" feeling than the stuco room, but okay. he doesn't really see the point of locking the door either... it's not like they have a high rate of people walking out on meetings here, and among those who have, he's pretty sure stephanie has been one of them. sighing though, he'll pull up a seat next to rika, make a kind of face, offer up his hand. )

On one condition.
