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!

[ For Minato, being able to help or not doesn't factor into his inclination to talk to people, admittedly because he doesn't really talk to people so much as people talk at him. ]
But I think... people don't have to provide answers to be helpful. Listening to their problems, listening to their joys... spending time together... small things like that can be helpful too. Somehow.

no subject
( there's a "you got me there," kind of feeling to his words, but he doesn't sound too bothered by the fact. well, if anything, he'd say he's more disappointed in himself for jumping conclusions, but... even then, it was the very desire to learn more about him before acting that kept amami from making any rash decisions about kazuki to begin with.
it feels like he's getting a bit ahead of himself here though, expression shifting to something more friendly again. )
Sorry, I just realized I didn't introduce myself. I'm Rantarou Amami, class 3-B.
no subject
[ If by visiting he means he was kidnapped and is here hopefully temporarily and has no idea what's going on. Though, much of his life has been transient with no idea what's going on, so he can't really call it that either. ]
...I've heard bits and pieces of what's going on. Dunno how much help I can be, but I'd like to.
[ That's why he's here, at this meeting. ]
no subject
( he's just... chilling... and choosing to live in the school? really? wait — is this how the native students feel about them? there's a moment for amami to process this, but honestly, it's a little impressive. being willing to go that far for a friend is, anyway. )
Oh, but anyway, it's fine. ( about the helping bit. ) We're doing our best with what we have, so just having someone else around who gets the situation is already something.
no subject
[ It's not like there's anywhere else for Minato to go, bound to the confines of this school just like all the others. But even if there's a whole wide world out there for him, he suspects he would stay close to the only person he knows anyways. Even if, as he is, he feels like a drain on the limited resources there are here. ]
There's really nothing? I'm good at [ killing ] fighting, and I was the top of my grade.
[ Academics and fighting ability, all you need to get through high school ]
no subject
( top of his grade? good at fighting? amami doesn't even really tend to show up to situations that would require those, never mind actually being particularly good at either of them. as far as he's concerned, he's pretty uselessly average himself, so they can be deadweights together. )
Actually, some of the others seem pretty dedicated to their studies, even here. If you don't know where to start, there's always that.

no subject
[ Do homework, get paid in food? It sounds profitable, at least it will when school starts back up again. ]
no subject
( not that he knows who's in it. just seen, y'know, the posters and stuff. amami's never been too much for book-studying, so the details haven't really stood out to him enough to stick. )
