Event Private Beat Up My Ideas

Logan nearly stumbled when asked about the council, but kept his pace, only slowing a little to better address this. That was a very wide ranged thing to ask. He was already prepared for spending a lot of the elections chattering, so this wouldn't ruffle him much in the end. "I'll start from the basics, then. It's a group of students that represent the rest of the student's interests and work as leaders, aspiring to help the community flourish-- solving problems, suggesting unique new policies, helping put on events whatnot. They work directly with school staff and can have some real power in the way the Academy works. It's a little like junior politics. It can be really useful to practice for future jobs and make connections, if you do well and leave a good impression."

He caught his breath. Then, "Have any other questions?" and a perky smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Samuel. I've never been off island, myself. I was born here. I'll leave after college, though, since my career aspirations call for it. Pianist. The unicorn features will be hidden with glamour, have you heard about that yet? Just how much have you heard about, exactly?"

"Yeah, likely. I wouldn't be too concerned over it. We get a lot of new students shuffled in and out all the time. If your roommate doesn't show up, you can be set up with someone else pretty easily."

Logan smiled at Sherry's friendliness and cheer over her new family. He could share her sentiments. He might have still been stuck with the Delacroixs, but his heart was with the Grahams, who he'd only known for a little while, but that felt warmer than his birth 'family' ever had. "I'm happy for you, Sher."

"Glamours help supernatural creatures blend into the Narrow Reality," he recited. "It's something like illusion magic, something a little stronger. It's usually enchanted into jewelry for the most convenience. Of course, it's much nicer to be in a safe haven like Manta Carlos where you don't have to hide anything in the first place-- but people still go to the human populated place, for one reason or another, and in those cases, glamour is a lifesaver."

He glanced at Sam briefly, a frown on his face for a flash of a moment. He could relate to the intimidation factors around demons and vampires, though Sherry had a family full of the former species. So, he cleared his throat. "…There are. I know it's a little scary with where you come from, but I can assure you, we have very rigid laws to make sure nobody is needlessly harmed. The majority of people here are just average citizens, no matter what their species, trying to go about their daily lives. Even with the stereotypes in the way of that."

He nodded resolutely. "If you're curious about certain beings here, and how the dangerous sounding traits are handled peacefully, I think we have pamphlets and reading material for that, too. I could write down the names of a few books for you. Otherwise, we'll keep answering questions the best we can, and teachers are really helpful too."

Sherry took it in stride. Logan was relieved, for that. She'd be good for the council, if voted onto it. He wanted to help ensure that, needing all the allies he could get, rather paranoid otherwise. He'd tell her she did a good job, when they were alone again.

Now, back to Samuel. Pamphlets! Lovely. Never could have enough of those, could you? Logan clasped his hands together and nodded, with a great deal of overenthusiasm, like every teacher's pet that attempted to near-awkwardly cheer on other students and pretend they were far older than they were. At least he was trying to get some authority to back that up. Otherwise, he'd stay mostly seen as pretentious, aside from his club leaderships.

"That's great! I'll--" Logan peered ahead. The highschool dorms were coming up, just as requested. He turned, walking backwards for a moment, and laughed. "Write those up when we get there, I was going to say, but… we're here now! So." He came to a stop and dug out one of his planning notebooks from his bag, putting his box of fliers and buttons on the ground for a moment. He flipped to a blank page and started writing.

"This is a quick listing for where to find pamphlets and guidebooks, the most relevant of them for your situation, and…" He shot Samuel a look, biting his lip. "The most helpful staff members here, plus ones that are… maybe a little grumpier? Anyway, this will probably be… very useful for you, try not to lose it." Logan gave a firm nod and handed over the piece of paper, after gently removing it from the rest.

"We don't mind helping out, but I'm sure you want to go settle in now," Logan said, knowing Sherry would agree with him on the help related bit. "If we're around and there's something else you need, feel free to grab us, okay?" He smiled again. "It was really nice meeting you, Samuel, and I hope you like your new dorm room." The unicorn wiggled his fingers, ready to wave the boy off.
