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!

["The first dozen or so times", like this is an Olypmic sport. Noah doesn't want to even have a fourth time dying, thanks. No fourth time loop for him, please.]

Is that how... it works? Forcibly overtaking a body of a parallel "me"? This time magic thing is more complicated than I thought it was... I guess that makes sense when I think about it.

[What the hell was Harque doing with magic like this, though...]

Something like that. I'd have to examine it to be sure... [... and he would really like to, but] unfortunately, magic is an unpredictable element at best. It's not something that can easily be deciphered and modified. Consistency is also unreliable...

That's how I would do it, though. [shrugs] It's not a bad idea. However, the further back you travel the more likely you are to encounter differences. If the discrepancy rate becomes too high, risk of data loss during transfer also becomes more likely... in other words, loss of memory and mental trauma. That's why I decided against it and went with the reverse option.

[add 1 minute ago: don't be afraid to take risks and die sometimes
add now: btw if you go too far back it might erase your memories, actually]

Uh. G...good to know. I'll try to die a lot less?

[but then September rolled around rip

Noah has mentally noted this though and he's going to be a lot more cautious in the future because what the fuck. What if he goes back too far and loses all his memories again oh god oh fuck etc.]
