[bro this is all so disorganized. Shepard can hardly stand it -- but she's heard of the meetings that they had had in the past, and she's going to take it upon herself to do one of her own. they had to get all of their facts together somehow, at least.

it's the Leader Things in her.]

Everyone meet me near the pool. Between the apparent disappearances last month and what's been going on at the pool, we need to get our facts straight. Meet me here after school's over for the day.

[aaand she's there at her designated time, hoping that they'd at least try to listen to her and gather as she intended...

she's not going to lock anyone in or anything, but if you try to pass her by, she's going to give you A Look like you'd better mind her message. not that she's even close to punching someone out, but. there's probably something a little bit intimidating about the commander who's looking at you expectantly if you try to ignore her meeting.]

Off the subject of the body, I'm fairly certain we've all noticed the radius of that void is continuing to spread. I wanted to pick everyone's brain on that one, one of you is bound to have some sort of game plan on how to stop it, right?

Apologies if this has been brought up before, this is my first meeting after all. I just want to be sure we're all on the same page, now especially given the circumstances..

[He's still got his legs in the pool, although now he's migrated to sitting on the top step, so he's up to roughly his thighs in the water.]

[float...☆]

Yeah, so, what's the deal with that thing? It's kinda ominous and eerie when you're just trying to look for useable sports stuff.

[he just wants to play basketball again....... he has too much energy to expend that's why he's in the pool!!!!]

[devouringdeep]

[given enough time and encouragement he will absolutely join in the floating. It does not matter to him that he's currently fully clothed in his school uniform. He Will float on request.]

It's interested me for a while now, though I don't have very many answers on what its 'deal' is, which is why I was hoping someone might be more well informed than I am. I would like to know where it originates from, or what causes it. It has to be here for a reason, I refuse to believe its existence is mere coincidence.

I have noticed, yes. I have personally taken several trips into the heart of the void in the auditorium to try and discern what exactly the cause of such a rift is, but I have yet to find anything on how to stop it. Several others have taken trips with me, as well.

[Lucifer isn't in the pool because that would mean showing skin and he refuses. He is in fact wearing his stupid sweater and glasses today.]

[devouringdeep]

[Hello you’ve caught his attention, Lucifer. Childe’s head tilts directly into his location, a sort of intensely focused look lingering around his eyes paired with a thoughtful crease in his brow]

Into the void itself? And you’ve survived it?

[carpevinum]

Yes, I did. I would not be able to do such in this form, however, in my other form, I can freely fly within the space.

[devouringdeep]

And anyone that accompanies you? Are they similarly unscathed?

[carpevinum]

Provided I do not drop them and they are agreeable and not wiggly when I fly around with them, yes, they're fine.

[devouringdeep]

[He's shifting his whole body where he sits so that he can turn to face Lucifer more fully, causing a bunch of splashy ripples to ride out into the pool.]

Is there anything in it? Living or otherwise? Landmarks, remnants, have you seen anything?

[carpevinum]

You can see shadow students walking around within the space — though, admittedly, my affinity for the supernatural is greater than many students here.

[Basically: Lucifer can see shit others can't, because he's a demon.]

Within the depths of the void proper, as far as I can tell, there is no bottom or top, or anything to limit the space. I've flown for hours in one direction only to never find a floor or a ceiling. The space itself is also soundless, to an uncanny degree.
