(mingle) cat herding, round two

[sisters]

( 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. )

( a shame subaru's taking it like that just because amami is sure he can fight his own battles. the fact that something as simple as "don't physically harm someone who shares your goal" warrants a scolding from subaru does disappoint him though. it's something clear on his face, and audible in his voice if subaru insists on not looking. )

I'd like it if you could point out to me where I'm attacking him.

( because he doesn't see it — in fact, he even went so far as to agree with natsume there. )

I don't know, Akehoshi-kun, and that's the point. I don't know Sakasaki-kun like you do, but I'm sure this must be hard for him, and when people are under pressure they start to do things that they normally wouldn't. All I'm saying is that I don't think we'll solve anything if we start picking physical fights with the people who are trying to figure things out.

[starrypoint]

[it's not "sharing a goal" if it means accusing someone natsume has bias and convictions towards, so subaru gets it. there's so much going on, he can't think straight. one thing at a time, latching one thing at a time.]

So trust me when I say he won't, okay? He won't.

[with a meaningful glance at natsume.]

[crystallomancy]

( natsume's going blind and not looking at him, he doesn't have to see that look

but he feels it. it doesn't stop him from cradling a small flame in his hand for comfort, or for throwing if shin pisses him off one more time. )

[starrypoint]

[stop subaru's literally going to put his hand in the fire to defuse it. he'll hold your hand.]

[crystallomancy]

( he does not want to hold hands! )

[commences]

( goes to hi5 his hand. )

[crystallomancy]

( he does Not want to hi5 either, hit his face i dare you )

[commences]

( danger is in the palm of your hand, komaeda wants to be burned. )

[crystallomancy]

( this isn't for you nagito-kun get lost )

[commences]

( give! give! )

[sisters]

I'll trust it when I hear it from him.

( because subaru may not always be the best judge of character. besides, why is "don't resort to violence" so CONTROVERSIAL in this house? amami looks exasperated as all hell right now, but he'll glance to natsume. he's watching with a sharp eye, just in case... )

[crystallomancy]

( ....... )

I will not resort to physical violenCE.

( physical. punching and stabbing and all of that. he's picky about words and meaning though. )

[sisters]

( like fire isn't a physical thing that inflicts physical wounds, huh? not that amami knows well enough to nitpick at that. he'll pause for a long moment before nodding, and give a huff of a sigh as he looks away.

...

he is going to go danganronpa stand closer to shin though. even if he's fighting off the waves, just in case he can do something, y'know? no guaranteeing natsume's the only one thinking that way. )

[crystallomancy]

( natsume would count it under "magical means" rather than physical, given how it manifests. the only way he can get around this wording. )

[sisters]

( it's a cop-out of an excuse that wouldn't stand up to scrutiny and he knows it. this isn't a pokemon game with splits between special and physical damage — it's all damage at the end of the day. )
