(mingle) cat herding, round two

( on february 2, transfer students will find that there are notes hung up around the dormitory with doctor's scrawl handwriting that a few people might recognize scribbled across it. it reads: )

TRANSFER MEETING
february 2, 5:00 p.m.
dorm common room

( the early-arrivers will find that amami is already set up in the common room, making himself comfortable on the far side of one of the couches with a sketchbook, but beyond a wave and a smile he won't offer much to speak of. it's only once it looks like there's a good handful of people that he'll glance around, grimace a bit, and speak up. )

So... I'm sure you guys already know why we're here, right?

( rest in piss, hiro. legend almost took two transfer students with him on his way. )

I know I might not be the person anyone wants to hear this from, but I figure everyone's had some time to gather evidence and any witnesses we might've had by now. I don't like the idea of this continuing more than anyone else, and if we want to keep it from happening again, it's probably best if we compile what we know.

( and unfortunately what he knows is nothing, because he was busy getting stabbed, so the floor is officially open. )

(ICly, this meeting begins on February 1. However, to keep us from trapping ourselves in another time cube, when things start to slow down, Amami will pitch that they regroup in a couple days. The details don't matter so much, but you can assume they'll come back for more discussion intermittently if anything new comes to light before Disney. This doesn't all have to be in one day! Feel free to PM/ping me anywhere if you'd like me to add any other helpful links. )

remember how I said "oh Lucifer will answer the soul thing" and then I forgot to do that. yeah.

The only information I can provide is on the soul, if we're avoiding theoreticals.

[Because he thinks that damn wolf is still at large, he and Sidney and Shin as far as he knows, but Inaba is giving straight facts so he'll follow her rules to keep things sane.]

Stephanie's soul was fragmented when I saw her asleep in our first meeting. It was in a similar state to that of Narumi Ito's soul after Clamor's doppelganger set upon him with a spell that tears souls out of bodies. The degrees of severity between Stephanie's soul and Narumi's soul vary, however. Whereas Narumi was on death's door, Stephanie seemed to be simply asleep. She woke up fine and, to my knowledge, hasn't succumbed to her soul being fragmented. I'll allow Stephanie to speak on how she feels, exactly, if it's all the same to you.

[That all being said...]

A fragmented soul effectively means that the soul has shattered like glass. Something is likely holding the remnants together in Stephanie's case, unlike in Narumi's, where we had to hunt fragments of it and almost stitch him back together. I cannot speak on what could be holding Stephanie together at this time, as soul magic is a complex subject. It could be her willpower alone, it could be something more supernatural, it could be a stabilizing spell cast on her, et cetera.
