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.

[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!

[thoughtful pause] You don't need to be brave all at once. You can just try being brave a little step at a time.
no subject
[ They tap at the desk. ]
Well, what should I be brave about first then? The very first thing.
no subject
[thinks...] Well, what are you least scared of right now?
no subject
The thing I'm least afraid of...is rabbits. [ Their reasoning is pretty depressing. It was the first thing they'd ever killed, and something they were fairly sure could never hurt them. And cute things aren't very scary. ]
What are you the least afraid of?
no subject
... she grins.] Y'know, I have a... friend, here, that calls me Little Bunny. So, if you're not afraid of me, that's one rabbit you're not afraid of.
no subject
[ Nodding at the indisputable wisdom of the Steph. ]
Little Bunny, do you want me to call you that too? I can do that, the only thing I don't want to call you little one. [ They'd rather not compare her to their one and only pet. ] But you are short...and you bounce around like a rabbit, so maybe I can deal with that. The scariest thing you do is shout, and even I yell sometimes when I'm excited.
