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!

Noah-kun, Crona-chan, we can't keep doing this- what even happened!?

[NOAH.]
It's fine. I gave Crona permission to punch me.

[ Why is everyone yelling. ]
Noah killed Hyde and I was mad about it. Soooooooooo. He said it was okay.

Crona-chan, I know you're still learning about the world- and about people. But Noah-kun, what he did, it's stupid and selfish. We- we can talk about other ways to sort through anger later, okay?
no subject
It was self-defense... I don't feel good about killing Hyde. There's a reason I walked around with a cut on my arm a while ago. [He slumps in his chair.] Hyde came after me, and it was him or me. It's not like I want to murder people.
...
That's why I deserved it. Because I couldn't save Hyde and could only save myself.
no subject
[ They give her a thumbs up! ]
I think Noah deserved a punch, but not anything else. He was talking about me hating him forever but I just wanted to beat him up...
[ She looks kind of upset though... ]
Are you feeling okay?
no subject
I will be. ( whether her mind wants to let her be or not. ) But please, no more hurting each other.
no subject
There's a lot happening here. And- a lot of things to feel. I can't blame you for doing what you needed to survive. ... But you can't blame yourself for being unable to save someone when you're trying to save yourself. Hurting yourself, letting others hurt you, it's not going to change anything. It won't undo anything. You can't do this to yourself- everything you inflict on yourself, you're making the people who love you witness and that's going to hurt them too.
... It's hurting me, too.

[Why the hand on his cheek? Why does he deserve such kindness? She'll hate him when she finds out he exists only for vengeance, won't she? It's better if she does in the end, since he's cursed. He'll damn her to a cruel death like with everyone else if she doesn't stay away from him.
His mind repeats over and over again, hate me, hate me, hate me, just rip the bandage off Nene, just avoid him, and...
That scares him, so he doesn't give voice to it. If he pushes her away, he's losing someone he cares for so deeply...]
I don't want to hurt you, but... don't I deserve to be hurt and hated for what I did? Even if Hyde was a horrible person, it wasn't my judgement to pass...
no subject
( even as she speaks, she wants to cry. her throat feels dry and her legs feel heavy. this isn't something she's ready for but he needs this, and now- and that's far more important. )
Did you kill him out of judgement? ... No. Because- because wanting to live isn't judgement. You weren't the judge, jury and executioner- you were a victim who wanted to live. No one can blame you for that.
no subject
[The fact that she won't hate him is almost scarier than the thought of her hating him, almost, and Noah really should figure out why he's so scared to let people in yet equally scared to push them away. He should figure it out, but he's not thinking about that.
Mostly, he's wiping blood off of his face and realising that he has a split lip from where his teeth must have clamped down on it after Crona sent him flying.]
I still don't feel great about it. It's... [difficult?] ...I don't know. I don't know what it is. I'm tired.
