["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!

THAT ACTUALLY REALLY SOUNDS LIKE A THING WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT?!

If he moved across timelines, then the rest of us wouldn't be affected. Transplanting everyone from one timeline to another would take an absurd amount of energy... hardly efficient.

His problem, not yours.

...the moonstone only takes me back about five seconds while I'm stuck here. Don't worry about it.

There are already too many alternate mes running around and I'm gonna be really mad if you're just... off making more!

It's not my magic, it's my brother's. I'm not doing anything other than dying a lot.

Well, then... Stop. Dying a lot.

I can't help it when people stab me in the face, Steph!

Have you tried blocking?

[Rolls up his sleeves to show Crona the scars on his arms he's gotten from a year's worth of blocking sharp objects with them... ~~ignore the fact that half of one of his arms is literally black from fingertip to elbow that's the overused shadow magic talking~~]

There's already an infinite number of parallel realities. You're not special.

Ugh. Just listen to me for once... I am a time travel expert. I know how this works.

Why are you calling yourself an expert like that means anything? Who hasn't time traveled?

As if you're anything close to an expert. There's a difference between "travelling through time" and "inventing the technology to travel, navigate and alter time". I've spent years researching this, not to mention the literally immeasurable length of time I've spent traversing between dimensions. I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, so impressive. You spent years researching something a guy who failed out of elementary school threw together in an hour. You're soooooo cool.

[ohhhhhhhhhh he's bout to jump out of this chair and punch a hole in reality just to beat up a puppet swear to fuck]

It's not easy! Don't you dare belittle my accomplishments, as if you could even comprehend what any of that means! It's not easy and I've worked harder than you could ever imagine for this!

Since it's soooooo easy, why don't I shove you into the damn auditorium and we'll see just how far you can get on your own, hmmm?!

[GUYS.]

Hey! How about we don't do that?!

[And he's... bigger than Add, barely, but he's still bigger — so Noah walks over and just lifts Add up and carries him to the other corner of the very void-y room. No. Children, go to time out.]

No. Do it. I dare you.

[just peering through a crack in the doorway]

I dare you.

[add literally kicking and flailing the whole way UNHAND HIM!!! HE IS A POWERFUL AND TERRIFYING MENACE TO REALITY!!!! LET HIM DESTROY THE ARROGANT PINK CHILD!!!!!]

[nyeeeeehhhhhhh radiating smugness even through a literal wall]

I never thought I'd have to break up a fight between two ten year olds...

I'm twenty-one, I'm older than both of you!

...

What.

You didn't know he's not a kid? He only looks and acts like one, but he's actually just a teeny-tiny little shrimpy man!

We are LITERALLY discussing time travel, how is this so difficult for your pea-sized brain to figure out?!

I'm twice your size and could crush you where you stand!!

Add is a crazy old maaaaan....I can't deal with that. I thought you were my age!!

In my defense, I thought he was like a child prodigy!
