THE CONTRACT LOG: insert madoka reference here
Who: Kiyotaka Ishimaru with Everyone and Anyone!
When: I'm backdating this to February 5th, before the field trip.
Where: The common room of the dorms
What: The new student council president has to draft his own contract with the school, and you get to help!
How: Carefully
Warnings: Your standard Yogen warning for discussion of death and murder. Dangan Ronpa spoilers may also come up.
[Ishimaru has called his own meeting in the common room of the dorms. All of the transfer students are invited, and he won't bar native students from attending as well. Ishimaru stands by the common room's coffin, which is currently covered with a tablecloth that totally makes it not look like a coffin, and he uses it as a makeshift podium to address the student body.]
Greetings, my fellow students. Most of you should know me. For those who do not, I am Kiyotaka Ishimaru from Class 2-E! At home, I was known as the Ultimate Public Morals Committee Member. Here, I have served as a member of the student council for quite some months now! ...And, just recently, I have been appointed as the student council's new president. I wish that I could feel prouder... that this position would come as a result of effort. Unfortunately, this position has instead come to me as the result of the loss of another life. I might not have seen eye-to-eye with Arisu-kun in many ways... but I would never have wanted things to go this way.
[He looks down for a moment, before he clears his throat.]
That said... as much as I wish things were different, that does not change the current circumstances. She is gone, and what she has left us with is... is a new opportunity. Many of you may have been aware that there is a contract forged between the student council president and the head of the school, which has control over certain factors such as the criteria for final exams and graduation. It seemed that it can also be used to challenge the terms of past contracts! So now, I have been given a chance to draft a new contract. Not only that, but I have time to decide on it, and I am allowed to crowdsource ideas before finalizing it.
[He balls his fist up with determination!]
And that is why I have called us together today! I feel that it would be best to hear out others' input and discuss matters before putting pen to paper. Also, it is possible that other students know things about contracts that I am not aware of. As your president, I want to hear all of you out in order to make the best possible decision!
[He'll allow some chatter, whole he consults his notes before he goes on to explain more.]
Arisu-kun's contract was shown to me. It appeared to have been heavily revised, with large portions of it being blacked out or unreadable. I only managed to gather several things from it. First, that grades and work ethic should be considered as important as karma and merit when it comes to deciding graduation and moving up a grade. Secondly, her contract was supposed to void out the effects of the contract of the previous class president, Aiko-san. I am unaware of anything regarding the contents of Aiko-san's contract. All that I do know is that Arisu-kun's contract came with a stipulation. Aiko-san's contract would only be voided if Arisu-kun managed to survive two years as class president. As we know, she unfortunately did not live up to those terms, so Aiko-san's contract should still be in effect. That is one problem for me... Without knowing the terms of that contract, I do know if I should take up her fight in challenging that contract or leave it be!
As it is, there are several thoughts that I already have in mind about this contract. First of all, I fervently support Arisu-kun's idea of holding up the importance of work ethic and grades. I do not wish to challenge it! After all, I am stern believe in the power of hard work, and I feel it would be best if this school reflected that. My next thought is that I wish to challenge the culture of murder in this school. We have all suffered too much during our time in these halls, so I wish to make a contract with terms that will discourage killing as much as possible. In the end, I wish to make this a better place for all of us.
[With that, he looks out towards the assembled students.]
I will now open the floor for discussion! Please tell me your thoughts!
[ooc: This has ended up being really long, sorry about that! I wanted to make sure all the information necessary for this conversation was included. And also sorry about taking this long to get this up! OOCly I believe we have some time to thread this out, ICly the contract is currently due mid-February. Feel free to take your time, or threadjack as needed, I just wanted to get this up and get the ball rolling!]

no subject
( but he offers a shrug. )
If not, I'm sure working around it will be fine.
( he'll handle it. )
no subject
[He pauses for a moment and looks towards Rantaro as he considers his words.]
...Is there something specific you have in mind to challenge?
no subject
( it's a yes, but unfortunately, it's also a "he doesn't intend to talk about it." )
Anyway! ( anyway! ) How about memories? I know we started this year without any, is there a way we can work keeping our memories into the contract somehow?
no subject
Ishimaru frowns at unclearness of that answer, but he ends up fully distracted by the follow-up suggestion. His eyes widen!]
Ah! Memories, of course! Now that is one topic I did not even think of! I can certainly work on including that idea in the contract. It will be quite helpful! If anything, the state of our memories is something we should have the right to decide for ourselves!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Amami-kun.
no subject
Right? It's hard to make progress if you don't know what you've tried in the past, and it seems like we've followed some pretty similar beats in past years. If we could somehow keep our memories though, it'd be a lot easier to work towards improving things, and getting the people who want to get out of here, out of here.
no subject
That's quite true. Who knows what valuable clues could have been lost in our memories? [It goes back to how they've tried to look into the fire and other elements of the school's past. Things would be so much easier if everyone retained their memories!] Memories are knowledge, and knowledge is power. This will certainly be helpful for us in making this school a better place and also making sure that we are not taken advantage of! I need no further convincing to try to include this in my contract.
no subject
Great. Thanks, Ishimaru-kun. I'll be counting on you for this.
( no more memory trauma for HIM! )
no subject
He flashes a smile at him, and snaps a hand into a salute.]
You are quite welcome! I will do my best not to let you down, Amami-kun!
