how have we not had a proper meeting since OCTOBER

Who: Everyone
When: January 10th, after 6PM
What: it's finally time for another FAMILY MEETING aka info sharing and yelling at eachother session, come and discuss recent discoveries & upcoming plots
Warnings: if there isn't at least ONE attempted murder, is it really a fam meet?

[It's the first day of the last semester, and sometime around lunch a note is slipped into everyone's lockers, as well as posted up in various common areas of the dormitories. In neat, printer-perfect text:]

Transfer Student Meeting
Dormitory Common Room @ 6:15 PM
Don't be late.

[... and that's all anyone gets until the agreed upon time, unless anyone wants to show up early and help Add set up.

Add himself is looking tall & fragment-y today, and by 6:15 PM exactly the whiteboard (that we stole and I assume never gave back because fuck the rules) is at the front of the room with a list of topics to cover. There's extra space left at the bottom for more to be added. His two dynamos are hovering at around shoulder-level by the main entrance, offering a friendly beep! to everyone who enters while they take attendance.

There is also the science room's Add's anatomical model standing next to the whiteboard. It's just standing there and looking creepy... it's fine, don't worry about it.

Once everyone arrives, Add goes over the rules—which are pretty simple, because Add doesn't give a shit.]


Let's try to keep this concise and tolerable. Stay on topic, and speak up if you have something useful to contribute. Take your fights outside if you want to kill someone. Failure to abide by these terms will result in removal from the room.

Like it or not... information is key to surviving this place, so working together as a group is the optimal strategy. Some of you will be "graduating" soon, and we still barely know what that entails. I'm not interested in letting this school dictate my future and neither should any of you, and I don't care if you want to find your own method of escape, but pooling our information will prevent wasted time and effort on dead-ends. If you don't agree with that, you can leave and figure it out by yourself.

We've made it this far, starting from practically nothing. Life or death, return or reincarnation... none of that matters because nothing is an impossibility. What matters is that we leave on our terms. Don't settle for less because you think it's too difficult. We will find a way out of this school.




((~FAMILY MEETING OOC RULES~
- this is a mingle!! feel free to start your own toplevels and threadjack into any ongoing discussions.
- off topic threads (like characters just chatting or bringing snacks or whatever) is allowed, but try to keep it contained. this is for sharing info both IC and OOC, so try to think of future-us sometimes and don't leave 38473645 unnecessary shitpost toplevels people will have to scroll past to find the one bit of plot info they needed or w/e
- if you're starting a new discussion topic, please put something in the subject line to make it easier to find! you can also ping/PM me to have it added/linked in the Official™ topic list below.
- if a new discussion topic comes up in the middle of an existing discussion, please consider giving it a fresh toplevel so it's easier to find!
- IC chaos/disruptions are allowed, but expect appropriate IC consequences. Add is a shitty meeting host and has not banned hangman or murders but like, he can manipulate gravity to throw someone out a window, this is exactly what will happen if anyone starts to annoy him.
- priority to sharing plot info should go to whoever discovered it, so please be considerate of others and ask before sharing something another character has been investigating!))

[ Joe's here, and he doesn't have to contribute (yet) information wise. He's just praying that don't ask for more blood from him. Not that he won't give more, but maybe he should lie down before starting. That thankfully doesn't seem the focus for now though.

But since discussions are open, he does eventually speak up about something that'd been plaguing him for a few weeks now especially since graduation is mentioned: ]


...Has anyone considered what happens when we leave this place? I mean, I'm sure you guys will find a way home, and I want that. But some of us... are...

[ He can't seems to bring himself to finish the answer, but those who know, know: Joe's dead back home. So he's been afraid what's going to happen over all this. ]

I-I really mean it though: I don't want anyone to be stuck here. But I... I just don't know.

Those who are part of Robotics Club, if you don't mind... there's four PDAs in need of assistance: Amami-kun, Yashiro-san, Ebalon-kun, and Hinata-kun that have happened to overheat and stop working.

( says un: i.sena, but he doesn't find his own pda to be as important as theirs, and given that someone like noah doesn't have a cellphone to keep in contact with everything, communication will be tedious. the same goes for the others too, even though they have a phone to connect with certain people, but the network is their go-to for wolf rp, 400 replies of komaroku slowburn, and information. )

Perhaps you can make it a little project in figuring out why they went out exactly at midnight when everyone else's PDAs had ceased to stop working until the generator was turned on.

( okay, he's going to sit down now. )

[Raises his hand politely like a nice young man]

The forest outside goes on infinitely. I might have... wandered it for almost a week. It just goes on and on. When I tried to go back out there recently, though, uh... once I passed the treeline, I passed out. I'm not really sure why.

...

Oh, but the water is drinkable and doesn't have blood in it. You still have to boil it, though.

Do you want to stay because you have no place back home?

( it's a yes or no question, but if he doesn't know, there's no reason to comment now is there. so he'll try to find him an answer that he can commit to rather than holding his head confused on what to do. there's some who want to go home, others who would rather stay, and then the idea of going to other people's worlds was tossed around, but that one seems like a fairytale.

although, everything else here seems like one to. )


But I understand if you want to remain here and graduate like a normal third year... if you make it there.

You're moving in the right direction, I always knew you were capable, Add-kun.

( he doesn't have to look at him, but he claps one last time before placing his hands down. )

They'll appreciate it, especially when someone like you can cultivate hope through such a uplifting speech, there's no way they can turn a blind eye to working with one another.

Yaaaay! Add-chan! That's right! You tell them!

[oh what a polite young man]

Well, that's a relief... If we're forced out for some reason, we'll at least be able to survive with that much.

[like

two weeks]


Thank you for your bravery, Ebalon-kun! I'm sure it wasn't easy going off on your own someplace entirely new, with no idea the dangers that might've lurked right around the corner... I'm glad you're safe now, too.

That's strange, perhaps the counselor didn't want you to leave yet.

( with a shake of his head, he'll pat noah's head gently. )

We'll get you out there so you can tell us what's waiting for everyone.

[ Joe sighs with a shrug of his shoulders. ]

Something like that yeah. But I'm not sure I even want to stay either.

[ Go back to being dead or stay in hell? Not great choices. But he sits up a little straighter when Komaeda follows up with his next statement then shakes his mop of hair. ]

If? Nah we have to be sure people can leave, right? It doesn't matter for me, but what does matter is making sure everyone can go home safe if they want.

I'm not part of the robotics club, but if nobody else offers, I can look at them. I already have familiarity with the PDAs' inner workings.

Joe, we're all in the same boat.

[ She has to stand up from where she's seated to meet his eyes, but she puts a hand on her chest like she really means it. There are some hard truths she's been taking some time to swallow, but hearing Joe talk like that, like his life is different from hers, like he couldn't go home but she might? That's stupid! ]

It's not "some of us"...I don't want to accept it, but I'm dead too, aren't I? Just because I don't remember doesn't mean I have anywhere else to go...but I don't want to accept that, or reincarnation either!

Passing out isn't a good thing, but having another source of drinkable water is good at least...

Ah, silly me, I could have sworn...

( he sees you in there all the time, but he doesn't mind it as he pulls out his own pda as he sets down where she is, or are they standing. what this means is that he's willing to work with her. )

This is one of them that I have on hand.

( he'll hold it out, and she'll notice that the casing is cracked. )

Can you work with this one for now, Inaba-san?

I've been thinking about it a lot, actually.

[For a while, if she had to be honest.]

And honestly, it's hard to tell since there's a lot of details that are missing... but if I'm going to be honest: if people really are stuck here because they're dead, maybe the inner workings of the school needs to be one of the major things to change, besides just--being able to leave, you know?

Let me borrow your imagination, Tazuna-kun, say there's a group of people, especially one proposed to have graduated, that came back to rescue the rest of us.

( he looks towards the other, blinking slow to see what he thinks of that chance — when the entire phone gang heard what was going on, the chance was there, but there's also the fact they could ignore it. )

If you can't choose for yourself, you could leave it in the hands of others? ( "it doesn't matter for me," ) Hm... you should think of yourself and the group too...
