Ok, noted, but what do you want to tell her?

We should ask about getting out own housething, cause dorms are weird.

Ask about general safety in relation to manipulators.

Ask about the petting zoo idea.

Ask if there is anything interesting we may find fun.

Her personal opinion on stuffs.

Mention the ears, maybe ask if they are cute.

Ask about holidays.

Ask about how school will work.

Ask about what exactly we should be doing to pass the time.

Ask about safety of general area and concerns with it.

Ask how we can harvest the souls of children to increase our power.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

If we get to pick classes, ask what kind of classes are available!

You're dumping all the work on the GM, our safety is what a lot of what those two quotes, and the paragraph were about, what about our safety do we want to mention to her? That is where all the things we may want to keep secret lie, all the other bits are fluffy characterization that we can sort out later, also noting that the character the I can't remember the name of, I think it starts with an A and has a Z in it, feels comfortable around her, I mean even if she told the higher ups, it wouldn't change too much with a lot of it, super shifting being the most obvious to change something, but I'm more afraid of our peers than security in that case, deerman may be risking our friend, so there's a bit to think about, I didn't go searching for all these details so they'd be forgotten about in favor of something vague, also we're carrying that stick around, and I feel like we should do something about it in the near future.

I would be more concerned with security, based on how we have witnessed them abduct someone in broad daylight. I think it's best to keep most stuff secret.

Peers are probably going to be easier to deal with then security.

And with safety, just mention it doesn't seem that safe.

Character's name is Akei.

Yes, but we aren't being naughty, are we? This is obviously the time to reveal all the turd muffins we had to wade through and see if this is the normal height of turd muffin wading or we are some sort of statistical outlier, I mean I can't imagine that she'd even being expecting kids to say these things the way she's been talking so far, maybe she expects them to talk about bullying or other much smaller things with that tone of voice, not go on a rant about all the turd wading that I would think but am lead not to believe other people would mention, I mean if that was in broad daylight it probably wasn't the only time it was seen, and if we have councillors I don't see how dropping in on hundreds potentially thousands of kids personal lives would even allow you to pick them out and flog them. Akei has a lot on his chest, he's clearly not used to this and probably wants clear his mind to a professional who is paid to help people through psychological stress, the existence of a councillor exists probably more to prevent people from going insane under all the stress they're put under than to be used to monitor every individual so there will be more floggings to hand around and scare people.

We don't know this person. Telling her stuff would likely set off a crapton of redflags. Better safe then sorry.

I would rather not get us screwed over because we decided it would be a great idea to tell everything to a person who we literally just met who claims she is a councilor but has put forth absolutely no proof of the claim whatsoever.

Does a counselor need proof that they're a counselor? That's like wondering if your doctor is a real doctor because they ask some personal information, I don't know about you but when I don't go into a counselors office thinking, what if she's a spy sent out to get information to throw me into the loony bin, especially since what has happened to us will set up no red flags because we are either the victim or the witness, and all of this is skewed because the only corruption I've seen so far is in the security, and they are obviously not the highest up, because that wouldn't make any sense the person who created this is obviously not running a concentration camp because of how comfortable they're trying to make us feel which would lead one to believe that this counselor is actually a counselor, because Akei isn't that paranoid yet, but he will sooner or later if we let all of this craziness stress him out and lead us to a place where e have to support ourselves and are no longer supported by the actual school system put in place so we can learn and grow and become functioning members of society.

May I suggest using several paragraphs? It will make your points more organized, I feel like I'm missing a lot of them in the textwallthings and it would probably be easier for multiple parties if they knew what your points were without having to sift through a bunch of text and possibly miss several.

The thing is, we do not Know if she is a councilor, you wouldn't need to ask a doctor if they are a doctor because oftentimes they carry around identification cards that are pinned to their shirts, not to mention that they would lack access to the necessary materials.

My question for you is: Why do you think it would be incharacter for Akei to spill everything to this "councilor" whom we have met twelve minutes ago. Akei is cautious by nature from what I have seen, he won't just open up to anyone instantly, he bends the truth for his safety when around those he doesn't trust. He would not instantly trust this councilor, he has only known get for about 12 minutes ingame. Akei has also shown that he can internalize his emotions, he may have some difficulties with massive things, but to be bluntly honest, he would be more likely to open up and vent to The Butcher or Azucena then this random person he just met.

In your shoes, let's go through Akei's two days here:

Held at gunpoint (with a stungun) and loaded onto a helicopter in the middle of the night.

Met some people somewhat in charge as well as a bunch of other kids. Person in charge did not appear to want to listen to Akei. Two students did and were more or less pleasant.

Met security people, overheard them talking about something possibly sinister.

Got task from important security person, goes and wanders around. Gets hit on by a socially awkward weird person, witnesses someone getting kidnapped by security. Flees in terror.

Finds place to deliver, is allowed entry with minimal hassle, delivers letter to Azucena, Azucena turns out to be rather likable and probably one of the nicest people Akei has met so far, if a lil odd.

Akei leaves after sitting around in the club for a bit.

Goes to dorm and sleeps.

Weird dream, wakes up super early.

Self indulges, eats a bunch of apples.

Hears a noise, grows wolf ears rapidly.

Sees The Butcher possibly killing somebody. Is terrified and flees, runs into a sec person.

Sec person is not fun to talk to, and later on in the convo he becomes dickish. He does not see anything where we have him look.

The Butcher turns out to not want to hurt us, we befriend The Butcher, positive and odd feelings are abound.

Randomly passout in field. Azucena wakes us up, talks to us a bit and tests to see if Akei would jump at metaphorical dog kibble that wasn't actually there, Akei does not jump at it, Azucena finds this outcome acceptable (I think.)

Akei runs to school, he meets more interesting kids and peers, learns that that quick shifting is abnormal.

Encounters "councilor" going entirely based on her words. Known her for minutes. Seems kind, but when compared to the people likely to receive these reports, aka the kidnaping and rather scary to Akei security people.

Akei likely has at a minimum, base knowledge that stuff he tells the councilor will be given to higher ups, such as security, which may not take very kindly to Akei's abnormally powerful shifting abilities.

From Akei's perspective, telling the councilor is a bad idea, no trust whatsoever.

No, I don't think we know for certain, although based on GM OOC and what we witnessed him doing, we can assume so.

Although we could be totally wrong. I just like the name better then Deerman so I am using The Butcher as a name for him.

The problem I see with this mode of thinking is that we are either the victim or the witness to something other people have seen, in other words there's no reason for us to get in trouble

, and you also have it engraved in your brain somewhere that every adult here is malignant,

 we don't know how Akei got here, he could've been seeking refuge, he's never used his powers before other than his eyes and hair color, and then I can only assume, his back story isn't fleshed out, so I'm just assuming, unless I missed a post,

Akei has no reason to fear this, lady a professional, but if he's specifically really paranoid about it then we can ask her if she had any qualifications, or whatever the right word is. Although he hasn't been showed to be particularly paranoid yet, because the GM stated we felt comfortable, but I digress.

It was stated in the first couple updates that we were brought in, held at gunpoint, in the middle of the night.

Still wondering why you want to trust someone we have known for literally less then twelve minutes with a bunch of personal stuff. Would You do that in real life? With someone you literally just met?

A good number of the adults do appear malignant or possibly dangerous.

We saw someone get abducted in broad daylight, if that isn't a major red flag for you, I don't know what is. There is something called too trusting.

Right guys, guess it's time to start making Akei learn how to make explosives and other improvised weaponry. Gotta overthrow the horrible system.  :P

The quick-shifting stuff should be hidden from everyone as best we can, it's kinda the ace up our sleeve.

As for the rest, leave out the part with Deerman, maaaaybe the abduction?

There's something called paranoia, and Akei seems to have it, he hasn't seen what the school system is like, most likely similar to a school. I feel stupid for not remembering/missing the stun gun bit, but that's something we can also mention, and maybe we can get some comforting, or at least some information, yes Akei bends the truth, so does everyone else, it isn't something special, that doesn't mean he's overly cautious for no reason, especially when you can point out the flaws in a system, and again none of will reflect badly because we're either the witness to something many people have seen or the victim. Can I emphasize this more, it isn't a matter of trust when it won't harm us, and we want security to improve.
