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

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.

[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!

Of canned food drives and PDAs.
So, at least while we're here, I can talk about the results of the canned food drive. In total, we got 1033 decent cans! Which is just a bit below the number I originally had in mind for us. At the very least, each of us gets 27 cans for the month. What you do with your share is up to you, whether you save them or not, whatever.
We've got an assortment of fruits, veggies, and notably, cheeseburger flavored things. But it is quite the assortment! I did find more... unsavory items mixed in with the cans, and have removed them from the pile because I doubt any of us want to deal with that.
[ At least 10 cans were filled with organs- par for the course here. ]
During the week, you can meet up with me to pick up your cans for that week, because I don't imagine people want to haul 27 cans around with them. Between the cans and the vending machine, I think we'll be smooth sailing for most of the month. I'll be at the workshop a good chunk of the time during the break working on my own projects, so chances are you'll find me there, or you can contact me through PDAs.
[ A good segue to his next point. ]
Speaking of the PDAs, I haven't been able to program any kind of private messaging system on them. Not for lack of trying many different options, either. So, we'll just have to be as subtle as possible still until I, or anyone else can find another way around this.
[ In Ori's words: "Private messaging won't be something supported by the PDAs regardless of skill or resources!" ]
Well, that's all I have for now.
preemptively...
( a murderer who has changed their ways? more likely than you think. )
If you'll have me, I'd like to make myself useful.

Sure, I don't mind the help if you're offering. I plan to give out most of them each Monday, but I'll still be in the area on other days.
no subject
( yes, you heard him right, he'd starve for them, and he needs them safe before he's safe. besides, he doesn't think he can stomach much right now... )
I believe they'll need it more than me.
no subject
[ Komaeda please!!! You gotta take some small nibbles!! ]
After all, you can't necessarily offer a millimeter of help to anyone when you're weak from starving yourself, right?
no subject
( let him be thoughtful, he's thinking about them first and foremost, and besides... small nibbles won't help whatever natsume is doing to him. )
I'll be able to manage, even if I lack the proper nutrition, it'll just be me seeing how far my hope will go for you all... But don't worry about that, we should think of everyone else.
no subject
[ He’s been thinking of everyone since he got dumped into this place. But that also includes you, Komaeda!! Also what is Natsume doing to him???
But I digress. If you’re willing to meet with me on Mondays to hand out cans, that’s fine by me.
no subject
( senku's kind, kinder than komaeda anyway. it's like natsume said, none of the sheep will cast him out because... it's all about survival. listen it's okay, natsume is just... up to no good again, why do you think he was close enough to call komaeda a murderer!!?!? )
I'll make sure to meet you, should I bring anything with me?
no subject
[ In a perfect world, Senku would be at the reins and making sure no more deaths occurred. Maybe it'll happen eventually- who knows. He did it once, he could do it again- he's the chief of a village after all.
Also: WILD... Good luck Komaeda, with whatever Natsume has planned for you. ]
Eh, you don't need to bring much. Maybe something to read, I guess? I don't expect a line going out the door for the cans right from the start, so bring something to pass the time a bit. I'll have a checklist prepared so we can keep track of who we've given food out to already.
no subject
( which doesn't sound like much, but komaeda will overlook the thing about normalcy — he doesn't understand it, has never had it, and only knows what to do when it comes to hope. also giving out cans which doesn't seem too hard. )
Should I bring you a few? ( he has some... about the world that amami showed him, the ones saihara showed him, and so on —
komaeda has a few recommendations, but they're all about murder so. )
no subject
[ Senku's always down to read more books. He's still making his way through the ones in the library, but if it's books he doesn't have to worry about losing fingernails to, he's down! ]
cutting in,
( lmfao like he didnt )
THE WAY U CUT IN AND IM ON MOBILE SICKKK
( :] )
HELP
[ he'll be watching him like a hawk bc he only trusts himself and a few other people alone with that pile of cans!!! ]
