Andrasta thought about it, then sighed. Yeah, that would actually feel like a pretty shitty thing to do. She could just imagine someone else coming to her with that. Don't even run for student council, it'd just make you miserable, drop out, we know better than you.

"No, you're right. I don't want to do that to her. If I were here hearing that from us, I'd probably kick our asses. I just hope this doesn't suck too much for her."

She went back to finishing up the poster she had set out on her bed. "I wonder if I could get Amber's endorsement, though. Or Alma's. Do you think they'd go for that?"

Orsick thought about it for a bit. "Alma may be worth looking into. Maybe see about finding more students that found themselves in your boat. I'm pretty sure your speech has a lot of people talking. Titus was even like 'man this kid's crazy,' which is just code for you're going places."

He twirled a marker in his fingers as he thought. "I can't really think of any other particularly big names. But like I said, I think you got enough people fired up and thinking that you could just mobilize the student body in a way."

Andrasta kept drawing on her poster. She was coloring it in, so she didn't have to focus too hard. "I was already thinking of getting some of the detention kids to help me, since this would help them more than anyone else. But... I'll try Alma too."

She finished coloring in that section. "Are you sure Titus doesn't just think I'm crazy?"

"Well this is coming from a guy who really likes the smell of burning flesh. I'd take it as a compliment," Orsick shrugged and began to color in a section of his poster.

"I mean, you should've seen the look on his face when he realized we were friends. Back when he was younger well... he was kinda the family shit disturber. What I'm trying to say is he likes people who can manage to shake things up. And you've definitely shaken things up," he smirked.

"It is kinda backwards how things are. You'd think they would follow the same model as the islets, but I guess not. You gotta commit an actual crime first if you want real help. Kinda bull if you ask me."

"I mean, there's still therapy and counseling and stuff if you want help," Andrasta begrudgingly admitted. "But... that doesn't make detention any less stupid."

She still didn't know how she felt about the idea that Titus liked her. She finished coloring in the poster she was working on and set it in the finished pile. "...Do you think we could get Titus to help? Like he works at the school, so..." If Orsick was right, it sounded like he might be open to it.

"Maybe, he's also worked for the school for a while, that's gotta have at least a little weight to it," he said thoughtfully. "I mean it might get more teachers to at least consider it. And kinda move up from there."

He looked at her realizing something else. "Might not be a direct endorsement from me, but it is a Drakenhardt supporting it. That's a big deal you know "

Andrasta looked right back at Orsick and beamed. To her, it sounded like he'd found a way to basically endorse her without literally endorsing her. He was still supporting her. Even if they didn't manage to sway Titus to their side, it would mean a lot to her that Orsick tried.

Heck, maybe this was even better. Titus could give her an in with the teachers.

"Next time we're at your place we should talk to him about it. Together." It would work a lot better if she had Orsick backing her up.

"That works for me, I can back you up but, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a pretty easy conversation," he said trying to sound reassuring about it and any possible nerves Andrasta was feeling.

"Then again, he's easier for me to approach since I know him the best. Huh, I feel like I've wound up officially unofficially endorsed you," he was feeling oddly relieved but still a little uncomfortable then added after a few seconds, "Eh, I've got your back."

Andrasta just kept beaming at him. He was probably right - he had found a way to unofficially endorse her. Kind of. It was still up to Titus at the end of the day.

She walked over and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Orsick."

She still wasn't entirely sure if Titus would go along with this. Scouts still felt like cops to her. But if he did, her opinion of him was definitely going to change for the better.

"O-oh, uh no problem, fam," he said, blushing slightly and hugging her back. He was fairly confident things would go their way. He only lived with him after all.

It took a brief explanation, but Titus gave them an ear. After a back and forth of Titus tossing out the challenges at Andrasta's proposal, he agreed. Orsick was satisfied knowing that the school would at the very least hear the message. Hopefully the ball would get rolling on different disciplinary tactics.
