I'm going to try and handle this as delicately as possible, which, quite frankly, I'm not good at.

I can't stand the three of you fighting. It's unnatural.

Riley, Cameron... Casey's mad at you because he thinks you don't want to be his friends anymore, and were possibly never friends for the right reasons. I want to set this straight, because I can't live in a world where the three of you aren't a unit.

Now, any time you start to argue or be mean, I'm going to give you the buzzer and you have to rephrase your statement more constructively.

One, two, three... go.

[Warded to Iliya]

What do you do when your friends are fighting?

[Warded to Reece]

I need tips on conflict resolution.

Casey, please explain what made you feel like Riley and Cameron didn't want to be your friends.

KRCC

[riledup]

i didn't do anything

KRCC

[princeprincess]

Then it's a good thing we're talking about it.

KRCC

[gonnabefamous]

Fine. But we have no idea why.

KRCC

[princeprincess]

Here's a chance to gain new information on your unfortunate circumstances. Go on, ask Casey what's wrong.

KRCC

[gonnabefamous]

Why do I have to? He's the one who stopped talking to us except to call me scrawny be mean.

KRCC

[princeprincess]

Obviously something is going on that you don't understand. So maybe you should ask what's wrong.

[...] Usually when they fight, I am also fighting.

Why?

Kenzie/Iliya

[princeprincess]

Casey's feelings were hurt by Riley and Cameron, so now they're not on speaking terms.

I have to help.

Kenzie/Iliya

[iliya]

Really? What did they do?

You are a good prefect. Sorry I cannot help. What happens is, when we fight, someone else says "shut up" and we shut up. [...] Unless it is Casper, then no one listens.

Kenzie/Iliya

[princeprincess]

Honestly? I have no idea. They're worse at expressing themselves than you and I are.

I'm [...] mostly doing this as a friend. Only Riley's my responsibility, technically.

Kenzie/Iliya

[iliya]

They are proud. And used to having their opinions dismissed. It is bad if they are doing it to each other.

[...] If you need it, I can talk to Cameron. But... he has not told me anything.

Kenzie/Iliya

[princeprincess]

You're right. I don't know how to convince them to show some compassion when they're all do goddamn defensive.

No. I have to handle this. Besides, you're his boyfriend. Never prefect your boyfriend.

Reece/Kenzie

[peanutbuttercup]

Hey, a problem I'm prepared for. What's up?

Reece/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

I have a few very proud friends who are arguing. One of them thinks the others don't want them around, but I know that's not the case. All three of them are used to people unfairly calling them stupid, so they're naturally sensitive.

Reece/Kenzie

[peanutbuttercup]

Anyone I know?

Reece/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

If you can't guess you don't deserve the badge.

Reece/Kenzie

[peanutbuttercup]

Yeah, that's going to be a little bit of a tough one because they're all stubborn, too. I think talking to them one-on-one and listening to their concerns and feelings would probably be a good starting point. You don't want anyone to feel like they're being ganged up on.

Reece/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

Hm.

Well.

I've already done the opposite of your advice and forced them to all talk this out together in a group ward.
