I wanted to make sure everyone knows: I'm boycotting all my classes. No matter what.

I don't agree with the mission of this school, and I'm being held here against my will! So I'm officially on strike in protest of your unjust policies!

[It's true, as was pointed out to him: if he's protesting, he should let everyone know about it!

He's still not sure about the hunger strike part of his plan, as he needs to eat a lot. But he boycotted Thanksgiving, so that's a start.]

And what do you intend to achieve by posting this?

[garganteren]

It's no good protesting if you don't let people know about it! I want to be heard.

[divine_spirits_universe]

How are you here against your will? I was under the impression everyone was given a choice of being here or not.

[garganteren]

I'm here against my will because they brought me here and they won't let me leave. So now you know better.

-Screw text. With nails like her, and a general lack of competent literacy, she prefers talking. Just not video talking...-

Did you rethink not eating, though?

[voice]

[garganteren]

[Eren switches to voice for her. And it would be weird typing in reply to a voice post.]

Yeah. I did. I need to eat a lot because of the—thing.

And exactly which policies have your feathers so terribly ruffled that a boycott seems to be your only recourse?

text

[garganteren]

Lots of them! But specifically the one where I can't go home and have to stay here.

[wherethelightwontfindyou]

Kid, if you don't like your classes just stop taking them. Don't make it everyone else's business that you're an idiot.

[Yes, not even the janitor is impressed.]

[garganteren]

There's no point in protesting if you don't let people know you're protesting. That's how it works!

It's not a matter of not liking classes, it's a matter of principle.

[Really, this was Sam's idea. Although he hadn't meant for Eren to do this...]

I understand the intention of your actions, and it's really no business of mine if you want to shoot yourself in the foot to make very little in the way of a point.

Whose history class are you enrolled in this semester?

[Because he doesn't know about the other one, but he doesn't accept "civil disobedience" as an excuse for missed class.]

text

[garganteren]

It doesn't matter if people don't listen to me, I had to speak up for what I believe! No one should be kept here against their will.

I don't remember.

[No need to pay attention to what his classes are if he isn't going to go!]

You know this school has been really nice right?

text

[garganteren]

No! I don't know that. Maybe you think it's nice, but I don't!

[He's just going to keep arguing with all these people he doesn't know.]

[soccerwhisperer]

I know I don't like doing math, but isn't this going too far?

[text]

[garganteren]

I don't have a problem with math, I have a problem with my civil rights being violated.

[presto_turn]

You don't agree with the "mission" of the school? With us having a place we can learn about our powers safely?

Or do you have a problem with the X-Men?

[Gosh, it's hard to tell just from text how serious to take this kid. Shindou's not entirely sure if he's being earnest or if just really hates getting up for class? It's hard to tell with mutant teens.]

Failing all your courses isn't much of a protest, either way.

[garganteren]

[Eren hadn't foreseen having to answer so many questions. But it's okay, he can keep going all day!]

I have a problem with training mutant children to fight and supporting the mutant agenda. It's not just about safety, anyone can see that.

Boycotting and walk outs are forms of protest. I don't care if I fail. I refuse to recognize this school's grades!

[lovesreporter]

[ As a school newspaper reporter, this isn't something Azusa can pass up questioning! ]

You don't agree with the mission? What would you prefer Professor Xavier teach us? How are you going to keep the teachers from just taking you to class? Are you also going to go on a hunger strike? Do you think this will work?

[garganteren]

[Eren is perfectly willing to give interviews!]

The teachers can come and take me to class if they want! I'll peaceably resist. But they don't care, they'd rather ignore me and my concerns!

[This isn't exactly true, but it feels true to Eren.]

I am thinking about a hunger strike. But we're not all in agreement about hunger strikes.

[His mutation has sped up his metabolism, so not eating would be more of a problem for him than most people, and Shadow didn't like the idea. She is his only fellow protester right now.]

I don't know what's going to happen, but I won't give up!

[deceases]

Being held against your will? What do you think this is, a prison?

[ Granted, it's not like Natsuno likes it here that much either.. but he doesn't dislike it enough to actually go as far as Eren. Instead he just feels more generally apathic towards the whole situation (and he came here more or less voluntarily himself, anyway.) ]

text;

[garganteren]

Yes, that's right. It's a prison.

[Well, that question was easy to answer. Eren is ready to answer any questions, though! It's all a part of his protest!]

[theveilisin]

You should take a more positive approach, my dear! For example, I would undoubtedly be held here against my will if I actually wanted to leave. But since I do not, I have effectively solved this problem.

[Super helpful there, Luvander.]

[garganteren]

That makes no sense, because I do want to leave. Obviously if I wanted to stay, I wouldn't be upset about it. I'm not going to lie to myself and change my mind so I feel better.

In person

[aquawayfinder]

Having read the message, Aqua set down her phone and called in her Keyblade. She pulled off the wayfinder and held it up for a moment. Looking at it, she centered herself, then clipped it back onto the keyblade and vanished it. She nodded, then left her office to track down Eren.

She came to his room and knocked lightly on the door. "May I come in?"
