Describe your activity:
I've been a part of SRP for maybe a little over six years now, often departing and returning during different phases of my own life. Over the periods of time where I was active, I'd log on for hours, often ruining my own schedule just to get online, also ruining my sleep schedule... Especially during my earlier years, I was very involved and a lot of my energy went towards the server and the people in it because I had genuinely enjoyed it. More recently, though my priorities have shifted, I'm still definitely active just less. I've taken on a lot more responsibilities, as in, clubs. teams. school work, work, and gym. My schedule is a lot more busy than normal, half of which is the reason I had stepped away from SRP for a few weeks. That said, I returned because I still care about the people and server. I try and log on whenever I can, or when I'm needed. But if I had to rate my current activity activity level, I'd definitely say around a 6.5/10, not amazing, but definitely not inactive.

What is your motivation to apply for reporter?:
My motivation.. Well writing has always been a quiet side passion of mine, it's just something I just naturally gravitate towards without really needing a reason like some.
Sometimes it's storytelling, where I get to use my creativity and thoughts to create a parallel world or new characters. I like to plan, use dot points, and then fully write whatever I am writing. Other times it's just my personal thoughts put into paragraphs on a document, or piece of paper. I like to express myself quietly, sometimes I'm loud.
Knowing that I can apply for a faction that has writing and is super flexible and easy excites me because it allows me to merge my passion for writing and creativity. As I've stated before, I've been on the server for quite some time. I've seen reporters come, write reports and leave. The reporters are pretty important because they aren't just delivering information, they are being creative with their own narratives that are either truthful or purely theoretical. I enjoy observing, turning small details into something fun, and listening and being a thoughtful voice with ideas.
I'm particularly interested in articles that highlight achievements, events, the community and interviews. Even with my own busy schedule, knowing the reporting faction is flexible and open makes me somewhat confident that I'd thrive in the faction with some time. Also knowing I'd have people who enjoy writing all around me could be so much help to me in more ways than one.
Do you have any experience with writing? What is your relationship with writing?:
I'd like to say that I do indeed a very strong amount of experience with writing, definitely when it comes to both personal work and helping other people's characters development.
Over the past few years, I've writing quite the variety of things, things from backstories to lore, scripts, character introductions to descriptions and actions! My writing journey started from roleplays and different characters, where I get to dive into different personalities whilst playing a certain character, perspective and emotion. Doesn't matter if im working on my own character or someone else's, I will always aim to do my best, make it meaningful and in-depth, capturing their character to the best of my abilities.
Writing has most definitely always been more than just a quiet side hobby for me. It's a comfort zone, creative outlet. its sometimes something I gravitate towards when i need to process my emotions, or explore ideas i've had. I enjoy the challenge to grow by constantly writing and asking others for feedback, always experimenting with different kind of detail and in-depthness.
To me, writing is really not just words on a page. It's making emotions feel real. heard, somewhere where a person can process certain things. It's always been something that has helped me grow, not just as a mesely writer, but as the person I currently am today.
Are you aware of - and will follow - the set of rules provided to you?:
Yes, I am aware.

Are you aware of - and will follow - the set of rules provided to you?:
Yes, I am aware.
Why should we accept you over others?:
I know there are many brilliant writers out there, but what I think sets me apart is my passion. I'm sincerely passionate about writing. While I'm sure everyone else has passion towards writing, mine is deep and comes from a place I closely cling to. It has always been more than just a hobby for me; a constant thing that has stuck with me throughout every single arc of my life. It's something I've learned to navigate in a way that allows for me to feel grounded. Every feeling I've felt has been written down. It helps me understand and express myself and others with a clearer lens.
Do you understand you have to stay completely neutral with all reports? (Your report can't have any OOC or IC bias towards a specific group.)
Yes, I understand.
Do you trust that you will be able to stay active and complete the monthly quota?:
Yes I do.
Summarise what you imagine work as a reporter is:
Imagining being a reporter isn't really that hard, as it involves being questioning, always watching, it also involves interviews and updating the town. Writing in your own way to tell everyone something that has happened or needs to happen, turning everyday normal events into paragraphs, or maybe major events written into pieces that informs everyone else who hadn't been there for it. Reporters should be creative, reliable, unbiased, consistent, communicator, deadlines met, representing the faction with passion and proficiency.

As she entered the room, she drifted, like a cold fog entwining though a cracked window at first light. Each motion she made was slow, far too smooth- like something within her wasn't quite used to a human body, but wore one anyways. There was no tension, no rush, just a sinister serenity that followed her. She stepped slowly towards the chair, the corners of her pale lips tilted upward slightly, but even then, it felt more like a indicator than a smile. Her eyes locked onto the interviewer, a cold grey, flat. Like glass far too chilly to fog. Slowly her fingers held onto the chair, sitting down with her folder and tea.
A pale hand slid a photo across the table, slim fingers tapping quietly against the hard surface in a silent rhythm. Her skin was phantom white, the faint light from the window shined on her skin, causing it to glow softly. The way the sun reflected caught her eyes as well, a dark, icy grey. Her white hair messily framed her face.

Full Name:
The interviewer flipped through some stacks of paper, occasionally glancing up at the person in front of them. Carefully eyeing them up and down before setting the work papers aside on their pristine pine wood desk
"Alright, shall we get this show started then? What's your full name."
They then reached for a sleek black and gold pen from a neat collection resting on the edge of the desk, confidently posing it over the paper, jotting down some notes with clear calmness.
She didn't seem nervous- she tilted her head, the slightest hint of motion. She was like a cat, considering whether or not she cared enough to pounce. Her eyes were distant, like she was there, but not fully in the room. "Obake." After a pause, her blank gaze lifted slightly to meet the person opposite her. "Obake, Kotov." She didn't smile, she never had, and never will.
Preferred Name/Nickname and Title (e.g., Ms, Mr)
"Please provide preferred names, nicknames and your title. For example, Mr, Ms, or other."
"I suppose the polite term would be Ms."
Her voice echoed, the titled enriched with bitterness, like it was borrow for some sort of messed up show.
Current Age (25+):
"Your current age?"
A faint, breathy chuckle- more of an exhale than a laugh. "Twenty-Six.." She glanced at the interviewer, her grey eyes cold and dark. "My My, how I'm getting quite old.." She crossed her arms under her bust. . "Or maybe it's the years getting heavy."
Past job/work experience:
"Could you explain your past job or work experiences?"
"None."
Degree/qualifications:
"Any degrees or qualifications you'd like to mention?"
"No."
Nationality and born location:
"Where were you originally from, please include your birth location."
"Russia," She said flatly. With a tilt of her head, she added. "Latvia, to be exact." Her pale hand reached for the table, taking a quick sip of boiling hot tea. "I was born where the sun doesn't reach, the cold bites early and never leaves."
Phone Number: 030-
"Your number, for contact purposes, please."
"(030)-303-4802."
How would you describe yourself in under 150 words?
Clearing their throat, the interviewer would take a quick sip of water, eventually looking up from the paper. One leg crossing over the other as they clasped their hands together advisedly. Their gaze settled on with some interest.
"Ms , how would you describe yourself in under 150 words?"
Obake did not answer as fast as the interviewer might of liked. She was slow, watching the movements around her. Water dripping from a faucet, the birds flying outside the window-then she turned her gaze to meet theirs, cold, dark.. "Hmm... I'm a I suppose shadow." She began, "No, not because I like to hide, but, rather I enjoy watching, listening carefully. People do tend to forget the quiet until it's far too late." A pale hand rested in her lap, clasping her other one. She waited for a moment, like she was deciding if she should continue or not. "I might be quiet, but I'm intentional. I dislike rushing. Everything has a purpose, even I and my choices. Whether I choose to explain or not. Some may call me disturbing and distant, others, Unnerving." A small shrug, her unnaturally white hair clung to the chairs fabric, like a moth attracted to a flame. "I'm not here to be likes, nor am I here to make many friends. I am here to be remembered."
What are you interested in writing about? How will you achieve this, and would you consider going out of your comfort zone?
The interviewer leaned forward slightly.
"What kind of themes and topics are you most interested in writing? How do you plan on developing those ideas efficiently? Would you also consider stepping out of your comfort zone if the situation called for it?"
She was like a needle threading its way through the conversation. "I suppose I'm drawn to the subtle fractures." She stated. "Stories where horror isn't quite loud, where it creeps, grows, and waits. I like writing about people who look okay from a standing bypasser, but somethings deeper. . Colder." She lifted a leg on top of her other, crossing them. "Controll... decay, Identity. These themes. I build tension, not rush the plot." Her grey eyes moved to the left, glancing at the wall of books. "As for my comfort zone." Her ghostly pink lips pursed into a straight line." Comfort is a privilege i've never had. Stepping out exaggerates the story, I think I'll run with that."
What are your expectations for the job?:
The interviewer tapped his fingers on the table.
"Your expectations for the job, Ms ?"
Glanced at her fingers, which were gently tapping against the seats arm, then back up. "Expectations.." - "Clarity first I suppose. Structure.. and freedom when the story calls for it." She muttered under her breath in Russian. "I do not at all, expect hand-holding, do not touch me. I don't want your praise either. I do want space to create reports that linger- not something that vanishes the moment someones done reading it." A pause, her pale hands reaching for a book on the side table. "If I feel it. Then I have done it right." Feel what exactly? That she wasn't sure of.
Do you have a criminal record? If so, list the crimes below:
"Have you perhaps got a criminal record? If so please list the crimes."
"I do not have a record."
Fluent Languages (Underline your native):
"Now Ms. Heydari, what are your fluent languages, and your native."
"Russian, Japanese."

Who is Kaito Akiyama?
Who is this man?
Kaito Akiyama. Thats who! One of THE Karakura High School's Vice-Principal of Student Affairs!
What are Student affairs? What is an Student Affairs Vice-Principal? A V-P of Student Affairs is an individual who is responsible for contributing to holding events, such as the End of the School Years! He also has other responsibilities, such as, having to interact with students! Which means hes almost always walking around the school grounds, talking or hosting classes! (YES! He's also a teacher! Performing arts.) However, if one cannot find him he would most likely be in his office, on the top floor of the school. He also handles student complaints and matters.
How can I submit my complaints?
Students are able to submit complains via the post boxes outside each and every slt member's office. Just slide a book of piece of paper with your complaint written on it into the box and waiting patiently for them to check, It could be Kaito, or another SLT member! They are usually checked everyday, according to Kaito. Don't be too shy to submit a complaint, they don;t bite, and he's definitely way more likely to help you if you just ask!
Hes a very helpful soul around the school, always doing cleaning with the caretakers, taking time out of his day to serve the students their lunches, while also planning out fun and interactive classes for his performing arts classes! Kaito Akiyama Has been working at Karakura High School for almost a whole near by now! He was a teacher for two months before being offered a spot on the SLT team by Doug Brown himself!
What an achievement!
A quote from the man Kaito himself!
“If you want to add in that some may call me a hero, a school wizard, a cool guy..... That would be TOTALLY fine! I get that a lot.”
Isn’t he just awesome? That’s YOUR Vice-Principal by the way!
He’s currently a Teacher, SLT member and an awesome Civilian to society, known by most!
s Kaito Akiyama a super awesome and kind guy? Yeah! Hes amazing, very kind and open to conversations, he’s very helpful, not just because of his job, because of the type of person he is. He strives to be one of the best Vice-Principals with his kindness and helpfulness.
Students who have met him have said that he’s fair and unbiased, helpful and kind. While others say he’s a great person with a lot of personality that others can learn from and adopt to their own as well.
Kaito encourages students to interact with him and the employees for help in situations out of their own control, he wants to make the school a better place. The team of School employees are trusted by Kaito to do the best they can in any situation and handle it accordingly to the rule book, handing out punishments that are fair and unbiased. Any and ALL unfair and biased situations should be reported to Kaito, where he can then take it to their corresponding higher-up. Where it can be handled quietly and privately.

#2 - Interview.
Thank you to MoonBoop for interview one,
Thank you to frenzyyy for interview two.
Obake : blue | Sea Jidaisho: Green |
Obake: Blue | Kaito Akiyama: Purple |
[!]
The footage began to roll, the expensive lens sharpening onto two figures and a whole office. Obake sat across from Kaito, the camera to the side on what people may assume was a shelf. Her posture was loose, relaxed without tension. Her skin was a pale tone, almost glowing under the school buildings lighting, her hair flowed in bright, white strands over her shoulders to the back of her knees, she wore a black dress. The camera also caught hold of her solid, almost characterless gray eyes. Kaito, However was quite a stark contrast, the camera caught onto his hair, causing it to look lighter than it actually was. His skin a normal tone, tanned compared to hers, casting a golden glow on his skin.

O. Kotov
"How do you work this thi- Oh, I see, it's on.." The corners of her mouth curved up into something that wasn't at all a smile. "I really do hope you don't mind being recorded." She slid a single, crispy white, piece of paper onto the table. "Now," Obake raised her brows, "Lets begin, shall we?" Her eyes lifted from the paper onto Kaito, solid, eerie gray. "First, I suppose we should know who you are.. I am Obake."
K. Akiyama
Nodded his head, smiling. "No problem at all." - "Vice principal Kaito Akiyama."
O.
"Perfect, thank you. Now for the first question of this interview. Who are you on a deeper level, and what is your role within the school?"
K. Akiyama
Kaito placed his hands on the desk. "We can begin! I am Kaito Akiyama, I have worked here for nearly a year now and I would like to think I have made some positive changes to the school!" He smiled. "I actually moved here because of my sister." He coughed, "Mikasa Akiyama! After moving here I was a teacher for two months before joining Senior leadership Team! It gives me great privilege to be able to help in multiple ways," He shuffled slightly in his spot , "For example, I hand out lunches and breakfasts, teach, help mop the floors with the caretakers. I am an all hands on deck type of guy, working around anyway I can."
O. Kotov
"I see.." - "How . . Wonderful, Anywho. Second question I suppose, do you know of any upcoming changes to the school rules or punishments that students should be quite aware of?"
K. Akiyama
He was quiet for a moment. "Well, I don't think we have any yet.. I have received some notes about policy on Onesies and allowing them in School, but that would need to be brought up in a meeting first." Silence.. "However, the rules as of right now are all standing strong and nothing is changing just yet. We will continue to have a zero tolerance on bullying, assault, and drinking on school grounds."
He coughed slightly lowering his voice. "If you want to also add in that some may call me a hero, a school wizard, a cool guy.. That would be totally fine, I get that a lot."
O. Kotov
Seemed far too relaxed in this situation, "Great morals." She tapped her fingers on the wooden desk, tap.. tapp.. "Now, how does the school normally handle conflicts with students, or students and teachers? Do most employees follow the book during situations?"
K. Akiyama
Kaito nodded. "Mhm! We keep strict order within our faculty. All faculty are to follow the rule book and make judgement in fair and unbias ways." He cleared his throat. "Additionally, if any students have an issue with a faculty member, I check my report box every single day! We pride ourselves on having a very strong team of members working here."
O. Kotov
"I see, perfect I'm sure the students would be glad to hear that. What's the best way a student can get into communication with an SLT to speak their concerns?"
K. Akiyama
"The best way? Well, I know a lot of SLT have their little post boxes outside their office in which students can take their concerns to. However a lot of the time we are walking around and are always open to hear about any concerns students may have. I for one, am usually around the front desk area or my officer. If you can't find an SLT however, the post boxes outside of the offices are the fastest way, they are checked very often."
O. Kotov
"Wonderful," She glanced down at the sheet of paper. "Now, how do you make every student feel heard? Not just the loud, well known ones, but also the new, quiet ones."
K. Akiyama
"Well, for starters I like to interact with as many students as I can though the day, to hear what they have to say. But with the student report box, all students can put in their reports and feedback, as well as we encourage all faculty to listen to any student that approaches then, not just the loud ones. Every student is encouraged to bring forward any issues, concerns or feedback to us at any given moment."
O. Kotov
"But what happens when a students concerns are ignored? Do they get an apology? What happens to the person who ignored their complaint?"
K. Akiyama
"I will always give off my greatest apology to any student who feels unheard, and I encourage them to see me with anything they wish to discuss. My office door is always open for anyone and everyone."
O. Kotov
"I see. Apologies are always great in some aspects. Next, What do you do when you've received a tip that one of your faculty has broken a fiercely enforced rule, how is it handled - and is it public, or private?"
K. Akiyama
"All interventions with faculty are private and they are to meet with their respective lead and have a serious conversation about their ill-doing in school. We take these matters very seriously and are handled appropriately to the rule broken."
O. Kotov
"Mhm..." She paused. "Lets steer this conversation a little bit. Tell me more about your role. Vice-Principal of Student affairs. What does it mean, who does that make you other than a VP."
K. Akiyama
"As a student affairs Vice-Principal, my responsibility is to interact with students, hold events and-" Kaito looked up just as Doug Brown could be seen walking into the room from the corner of the video. "Right one moment let me finish this up real quick.. Okay so, I hold events, interact with students and of course handle student complaints and matters."
"I apologise to end this off so suddenly, it seems as if I am late forr my meeting."
O. Kotov
"No worries. Thank you for your time."
Doug Brown could be heard grumbling in the background.
K. Akiyama
"Thank you for yours."
[!]
The video abruptly stopped.
"How do you work this thi- Oh, I see, it's on.." The corners of her mouth curved up into something that wasn't at all a smile. "I really do hope you don't mind being recorded." She slid a single, crispy white, piece of paper onto the table. "Now," Obake raised her brows, "Lets begin, shall we?" Her eyes lifted from the paper onto Kaito, solid, eerie gray. "First, I suppose we should know who you are.. I am Obake."
K. Akiyama
Nodded his head, smiling. "No problem at all." - "Vice principal Kaito Akiyama."
O.
"Perfect, thank you. Now for the first question of this interview. Who are you on a deeper level, and what is your role within the school?"
K. Akiyama
Kaito placed his hands on the desk. "We can begin! I am Kaito Akiyama, I have worked here for nearly a year now and I would like to think I have made some positive changes to the school!" He smiled. "I actually moved here because of my sister." He coughed, "Mikasa Akiyama! After moving here I was a teacher for two months before joining Senior leadership Team! It gives me great privilege to be able to help in multiple ways," He shuffled slightly in his spot , "For example, I hand out lunches and breakfasts, teach, help mop the floors with the caretakers. I am an all hands on deck type of guy, working around anyway I can."
O. Kotov
"I see.." - "How . . Wonderful, Anywho. Second question I suppose, do you know of any upcoming changes to the school rules or punishments that students should be quite aware of?"
K. Akiyama
He was quiet for a moment. "Well, I don't think we have any yet.. I have received some notes about policy on Onesies and allowing them in School, but that would need to be brought up in a meeting first." Silence.. "However, the rules as of right now are all standing strong and nothing is changing just yet. We will continue to have a zero tolerance on bullying, assault, and drinking on school grounds."
He coughed slightly lowering his voice. "If you want to also add in that some may call me a hero, a school wizard, a cool guy.. That would be totally fine, I get that a lot."
O. Kotov
Seemed far too relaxed in this situation, "Great morals." She tapped her fingers on the wooden desk, tap.. tapp.. "Now, how does the school normally handle conflicts with students, or students and teachers? Do most employees follow the book during situations?"
K. Akiyama
Kaito nodded. "Mhm! We keep strict order within our faculty. All faculty are to follow the rule book and make judgement in fair and unbias ways." He cleared his throat. "Additionally, if any students have an issue with a faculty member, I check my report box every single day! We pride ourselves on having a very strong team of members working here."
O. Kotov
"I see, perfect I'm sure the students would be glad to hear that. What's the best way a student can get into communication with an SLT to speak their concerns?"
K. Akiyama
"The best way? Well, I know a lot of SLT have their little post boxes outside their office in which students can take their concerns to. However a lot of the time we are walking around and are always open to hear about any concerns students may have. I for one, am usually around the front desk area or my officer. If you can't find an SLT however, the post boxes outside of the offices are the fastest way, they are checked very often."
O. Kotov
"Wonderful," She glanced down at the sheet of paper. "Now, how do you make every student feel heard? Not just the loud, well known ones, but also the new, quiet ones."
K. Akiyama
"Well, for starters I like to interact with as many students as I can though the day, to hear what they have to say. But with the student report box, all students can put in their reports and feedback, as well as we encourage all faculty to listen to any student that approaches then, not just the loud ones. Every student is encouraged to bring forward any issues, concerns or feedback to us at any given moment."
O. Kotov
"But what happens when a students concerns are ignored? Do they get an apology? What happens to the person who ignored their complaint?"
K. Akiyama
"I will always give off my greatest apology to any student who feels unheard, and I encourage them to see me with anything they wish to discuss. My office door is always open for anyone and everyone."
O. Kotov
"I see. Apologies are always great in some aspects. Next, What do you do when you've received a tip that one of your faculty has broken a fiercely enforced rule, how is it handled - and is it public, or private?"
K. Akiyama
"All interventions with faculty are private and they are to meet with their respective lead and have a serious conversation about their ill-doing in school. We take these matters very seriously and are handled appropriately to the rule broken."

K. Akiyama
"Thank you for yours."
[!]
The video abruptly stopped.
[!] A quiet static of the start of the recording was heard, before a soft click actually began the tape.
O.
"Well then, to start this off, may I get your name, age, and role in the council?"
S. Jidaisho:
"My name is Sea Jidaisho and I am 18 years old. I am the High School Council Vice-President."
O. Kotov
The sounds of paper being touched and writing were heard. "Thank you, Miss Jidaisho. I hope you don't mind that this interaction will be recorded." The sound of the paper and writing stopped before she continued speaking. "Do you feel like students actually trust the council to represent them? Why do you think so, or why not?" A pause, the sound of pen writing on paper was heard through the recorder once again.
S. Jidaisho:
"I don't mind at all, you have consent to record the interview." - "There are students that do and don't. Though if I'm transparent and honest, most don't. Why is that? A lot of students, especially those that find themselves in trouble a lot, tend to not like authority. That could come from many reasons. They simply don't like it or it's just the city we live in. It could also be that these students see us as just glorified hall monitors as we tend to give out detentions, or teachers' pets. But that's not what student council is. We aren't just hall monitors. I think whether or not someone trusts them comes down to the individual."
O. Kotov
"Indeed, lots of students do dislike authority, unfortunately." Again, the sound of pen writing on paper. "What a wise answer, Miss Jidaisho." The sound of a page flipping, soon followed by a quick click of a pen. "And... In your view, how do you think the council members can work together to build a better connection with the students? Other than events of course."
S. Jidaisho:
A soft chuckle, "Events are the obvious, but there are other approaches we can take. In order to build trust with someone, you have to get to know them and that would mean getting to know the student body. Things like, what do they expect from the student council? Are there things they'd like us to do more of? Are there things they want to try and improve in our school? And then do our due diligence and take action on those things in play. I think in some students' eyes, it looks weird that one of peers or classmates is giving them detention when well a teacher should be doing it. Instead, being held to punish students, I think we should focus on helping them first. Us giving detention should be lower on the ladder for what we do, a last resort if faculty cannot get to them or if we can't get a hold of them. Is it the clear solution? No. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, there will be students that will not like us, and that's fine. It's inevitable. This is something that could help push us into that direction and I can't guarantee it would happen. That is a discussion for me and my fellow councillors to have as a whole." A breath, followed by an exhale.
O. Kotov
The sound of a pen tapping on the desk, once, then twice. "That's a very grounded take, Miss Jidaisho. It's refreshing to hear council responsibility framed in terms of service, not surveillance." The sounds of pen writing on paper, "You're right- Some students do indeed find it jarring to be disciplined by a peer. Especially one that they had just sat next to in class not even less than a week ago. Your approach to this feels more. . Humane. Less institutional." - "You said something that stood out to me, 'getting to know the student body.' What would that look like in action? Is it open forums, one-to-one conversations, casual presence in the halls? Or something new?" - "Because words like listening and understanding are powerful, but only if they don't collect dust after a meeting has ended."
S. Jidaisho:
A soft hum from the Vice-President. "Well, we have all heard of the phrase 'actions speak louder than words' and I think that sums it up. If we say something, we have to commit to it and not just say it and not do it. We are students at this school, just like any of our peers. Casual presence would be a fun way in my opinion. Coming up to students and striking up a conversation with them or asking about their day. That's something that could make someone's day. We could also host casual hangouts. No fancy stuff, no speeches. Just hangout like any other student would. We are students with a purpose, not glorified hall monitors or teachers' pets. We have extra responsibilities and authority. But we are still students. In order for us to build trust, we need to help students. And in order to help, we need to know what they want. What do they want in terms of improvements or changes to the school? That can be achieved by doing another Q and A or surveys."
O. Kotov
The tapping stopped. "A student with a purpose.." - "I like that." - "You make a very fair point Miss Jidaisho. Presence follows through, casual conversations, these are all the things' people remember more than just a meeting or a flyer on the wall. If you're constantly hanging out they will remember those memories." A pause . . . "Ah, and one last thing before I move on to different questions, if you had to ask the ENTIRE student body one question to help the Council team understand them better. . . What would your question be?"
S. Jidaisho:
A long pause before she spoke. "My question would be, if they were a member of the student council, what changes would they make for the school and student body, and why?"
O. Kotov
"A fair and open-ended question. I can only just imagine what kind of answers you all may get." She chuckled, the crisp sound of paper, followed by a click of a pen. "Let's take a tiny step away from the student matters for now." She sounded more curious, "As Vice-President, we all know you have quite a lot of responsibility, lots of structure. But I wish to know - and I'm sure lots of the student body do - what keeps you grounded?" - "Is it something or someone outside of your council life? A routine maybe? Or just a reminder of who you might be beneath the title?"
S. Jidaisho:
"A good question actually. Well like anyone else, I have hobbies. Having my nose in books tends to help me unwind after long school days. I like fictional and adventurous books. Anything that keeps me on the edge of my seat, I like. I don't have a big routine after school. I mostly just go home, relax and then get some homework I may have out of the way. I also find myself stargazing on clear nights sometimes. Fun fact, my first name literally means star."
O. Kotov
"I see. . Sounds like quite the calm and relaxing afternoon." A brief pause. "Stargazing indeed does suit you, Miss jidaisho. Calm, little distant, but always watching." She let that hang in the air for a minute, sitting a little straighter. "Now, something a little more... reflective." - "Tell me about a moment in your time as Vice-President- or even before, where you had felt. . . uncertain. Whether you felt as if you were making the right or wrong choice. What did you do? How did you keep pushing through your doubt?"
S. Jidaisho:
"This was before, but there was this girl, I am not going to name her in any way, I will keep her anonymous. But I had gotten a report that she had hurt these students. The girl in question had been bothering me beforehand, harassing me even. Instead of questioning the two girls, I let my emotions get ahead of me and I gave her detention on the basis that she lies about most things that she says. That of course was not the appropriate way to handle it. and how I moved on is I just had to remind myself that I am going to make mistakes sometimes and with some self-reflection, I thought of how I could handle something like that again in the future. Something like that has not happened again."
O. Kotov
"Honestly, it takes more than just reflection. It takes accountability." - "We tend to forget that titles don't erase emotion. If anything, they amplify the stakes when emotion gets involved." A brief pause. Then flatly, "Thank you for sharing that, Miss Jidaisho. That kind of vulnerability doesn't often come from leadership roles. It's definitely Noted." Once again she sounded curious, "Now-on a more abstract note; how would you define power? Is it control? Influence? Responsibility? Or something else entirely?" - "How do you see power being used in everyday school life?"
S. Jidaisho:
She cleared her throat. "Power is a strong word. Something that should not be taken lightly in a lot of cases. Power can be used for good, or bad depending on who gets their hands on it. In terms of the student council, power is not controlled. It's taking responsibility for our own mistakes and taking care of our responsibilities. It's about influencing and being role models. Power should be used for good during school. We should be using it to influence the students in a positive way, being role models and showing them what it's like to be responsible students. Attending class, getting good grades, and staying out of trouble. We should use it for the betterment of all students and faculty."
O. Kotov
"A thoughtful answer. One I imagine not everyone in power stops to consider. You're quite right. Power shouldn't be about control. But far too often, people forget that. - "And. . What do you believe is the biggest misconception about the council? Or about you, specifically.?"
S. Jidaisho:
"Indeed, they do." - "I will refer to one of the first questions. I think one of the misconceptions that students have is that we are hall monitors and that's all we do. Patrol and give detention, nothing else. But that's not true. There are a lot of things that do go on behind the scenes that students aren't aware of. We plan events, hold meetings, and we are trying to find ways to improve. Some think we are just teachers' pets and that we will always side with faculty. If a teacher is wrong about something, then no, I will not be siding with them. If they said you got into a fight and there's no proof or whatnot saying otherwise, then I'm not siding with them. Though lying would be another matter entirely and something SLT would have to deal with at that point. We are not students' foes; we are not here to make your lives at school worse. We are here to make it better and more welcoming."
O. Kotov
"Misunderstood by so many. . And yet you all still show up. That in itself speaks quite louder than most titles ever could." Thud, the sound of her book closing. "Miss Jidaisho, thank you. You've answered every question with clarity even when they dug a little deeper than surface-level praise." - "Before we close this interview off... do you perhaps have any final words? Not for me of course, but for the students that think you're patrolling the halls waiting to write their names down on a red slip of paper."
S. Jidaisho:
"All I will tell the students is if they ever have concerns when it comes to the school or want to bring up something to SLT or faculty, or anyone please tell us. We want to hear what you have to say. We want to hear your voices."
O. Kotov
"Perfect! Thank you for your time and have a good night."
"Well then, to start this off, may I get your name, age, and role in the council?"
S. Jidaisho:
"My name is Sea Jidaisho and I am 18 years old. I am the High School Council Vice-President."
