JUSTICE LEAGUE, ASSEMBLE

[forgetbeam]

Who: The poor saps who signed up for Disciplinary Committee and the wise guys who want to troll them. And everyone in between.
What: REAL TALK.
When: December 7th.
Warnings: I guess that depends on who shows up.



Despite having the Committee idea officially approved before Halloween, various things kept coming up and causing problems every time Ishimaru tried to plan out a first meeting. All of these things amounted to "SHOCKY IS LAZY." But it was finally happening, and not a moment too soon! Recent events just added to the list of topics to cover, and some of them were pretty deep and serious.

(Not that keeping order was ever not serious business.)

The meeting itself was held in one of the spare club rooms, set up with a long table surrounded by chairs. The only real thing of interest was the tray of snacks on the table, since Ishimaru had noticed that it was much easier to get people to sit and listen when there was food involved. Of course, anyone hoping for cakes and cookies would be disappointed in the sliced fruits and vegetables adorning the tray instead. There wasn't even any dip...

Well, nothing could possibly go wrong at such a professional meeting, at least.

[Ondrea listened intently to what Knuckles said...but someone he brought up bothered her. Well, not bothered, but it stuck out.]

Now hold on...you mentioned that these green..."pops" cause a special kind of reaction in those in ingest them. Are you implying that it's possible for the other drugs to cause completely different symptoms?

Because if that's true, this might be much more dangerous than we think.

[forgetbeam]

[From murder to potent drugs... Ishimaru wasn't originally planning for such a heavy first meeting, but there it is. He quickly sets the pop down on the table again like it's corrupting him just by holding it.]

Did you find out where she got her hands on such a thing?! Who else may be involved in this? These are important things to know before we can put a stop to this!

[deathboss]

Whoever they are, the minute I find out who the hell is involved for the murdering a student and causing that to the others, Hades and me'll are gonna give 'em such a beating there won't be anything left to beat up!

[Someone's getting a little worked up about this. This has nothing to do with the fact that half his entire school was turned into shadowmen by corrupted school presidents either.]

and then there's this kid.

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian didn't really understand what everyone was talking about, but she sure as heck knew what candy was. She'd heard about it, at the very least, and that lollipop was an incredible temptation. While everyone was focusing on their exchanges, Vivian slowly reached for it and brought it back to her body, holding it close in observation. It looked pretty, especially when Ishimaru had held it up to the light.

She pulled the wrapper off, looking around as if she knew she was doing something wrong, but it didn't stop her from slipping it into her mouth.

Yee! This made her tongue tingle. ]

[deathboss]

...OH SHIT!

[And like a comically timed piece, Eikichi sees what she is doing in slow motion, and before he can really think about it, Hades had already appeared behind him in a shower of blue lights.

The Persona flies forward and attempts to knock the lollipop right out of her mouth with one swift stroke, making sure not to hard her..]

[monotreme_101]

[Knuckles had been about to respon to Ishimaru's question when everything went crazy and OH GOD SUDDENLY HADES WAS THERE TRYING TO HIT STUFF WHAT!?]

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian was a little surprised at the new entity in the room, but she was a quick little kid - If only because her chair toppled back the moment Hades took a swing at her. It still knocked the lolli right from her lips, sending it flying across the room, but she looked panicked at the possibility of falling down, swinging for the table to grab hold of it. ]

Oh no!

[monotreme_101]

[Oh cripes - Think fast! Knuckles sprang over the table like a bolt of greased red lightning and caught her as her chair clattered to the ground]

You OK??

[deathboss]

[Hades disappears in a shower of light as Eikichi sighs.]

Babe! I don't think we wanna see first-hand what these can do, you know?

[forgetbeam]

[WOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED. His entire meeting just flew into chaos in an instant and what the heck was that THING just now?! More importantly, he realizes far too late that of course Vivian wasn't going to realize the candy was dangerous, even though they were just talking about it being an illegal substance. She doesn't even know what drugs are, does she?

How has he not had a heart attack because of her yet seriously.]

Vivian, you mustn't try to eat anything that looks like that! Is that understood!? ...How potent are those things?

[hellofriend]

[ Vivian managed to keep her feet on the ground and hands on the table. She looked over at Knuckles with as warm a smile as a born-machine could manage, reached out and... began to pet his nose again. ] Thank you!

[ She looked at Eikichi at first with some uncertainty. What had he done? That was very bizarre, like a laser she'd never seen before... But it stopped her from doing something that Ishimaru seemed to blatantly disapprove of, so it must've been safe. Protection, like she did. Vivian wasn't quite sure what had happened herself, but... boy, her human body felt kind of heavy.

She yawned a little, exhausted from the events, she supposed. ]

Good night.

[ And back under the table she crawled. (???) ]

[monotreme_101]

[Knuckles reluctantly submitted to the nose petting. One day he would have to explain to her the very clear difference between kittens and Echidnas. But he could imagine that was traumatizing so he'd let it slide. Again.]

Yeah, yeah. You're welcome.

[As for Ishimaru's question, it pretty much answered itself as Vivian became sleepy and crawled under the table.]

I guess pretty potent, but it's probably like anything - Your first time hits you hard. Like alchohol. You usually get a little fuzzy on your first beer. After that it might take a few to get the same reaction. Vivian's sleepy after one very small taste and Kitty was eating them a bunch at a time at one point.

[He picked up the sucker from where it landed and frowned. It had human goobers and carpet lint on it now. He'd need to rinse it off if it was going to be any good for analysis.]
