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!

Irrelevant. I am a construct, of sorts... but that was by my own decision. What I am doesn't matter so long as I can accomplish my goals.

But since we're considering all possibilities... if the world Minato came from was "real", then the world you saw was likely the same. You could've saved her, if you'd been just a little faster... what a pity, kukukukuku...
subtract: because every time I start to move on (Y-0355)

Then you're just another failure, aren't you? How pathetic.

Ah, that's true. [it's.... unclear if he's admitting to getting weird about the robots, getting beaten up, or both] I am curious... and we still need more data on the elevator. I'll accompany you next time.

[aka he's going to try and sneak up on her next time she goes in the elevator and mash that button until they get her bad end. for science.]
subtract: the sense of place I had before (Y-0381)

Tell me more about these robots. You said it looked like a dog? Was it familiar to you?

[????? is he just going to casually try to converse now like they aren't actively having some kind of petty fight? yes. yes, he is.]
subtract: don't tell me what direction you think I should take (Y-0197)

[no promises]

This villain is a mechanic? Someone like Wally, perhaps... I'd be interested to meet him.

I doubt someone of your calibre would understand the intricacies of robotics enough to explain how anything works, but a simpleton's perspective can also be insightful... what sort of weapons did it have?
