This is Deccl, an athletic, rangy, and very sly ninja elf who doubles as a student at our school. His single dreadlock, affectionately known as, “sneelock” starting right now, is just one of his many calling cards (others include his octopus sweatshirt and his baritone, monotonous vocalizations). He is a survivalist, an archer, and a nerf-hero, so he definitely makes the cut for Team Apocalypse. He’s also school-famous for balancing giant (and sometimes expensive) objects precariously on his fingertip; there’s a thread of precision that runs through his activities which could be appreciated by the most finicky engineer.
Deccl’s friend says that he is, “somehow everywhere at all times. He feels like a mass hallucination…and he manages to parkour off of everything.” Indeed, Deccl crosses many boundaries, uniting friend groups, resolving tensions with indirect, tactful, diplomacy, and moving around/through/under, and over obstacles with the grace and strength of the best youtube parkouristas. He’s El Presidente of the Table Top Role Playing Cooperative, a role he fills admirably, making sure everyone – including other groups he negotiates with for resources and space, gets what they want.
Deccl appreciates that our program, “is not stressful…and I can do the things I want to do.” He also says he’s improved at his job teaching young kids snowboardingsince enrolling here a year and a half ago; he says, “”one thing I’ve learned here is how to treat younger people with respect, like they’re capable. And they are. And now when I see adults talking to kids in a patronizing way…I don’t like it.” Neither do we, friend. But we do like *you*. So, so much. We’re happy to let you balance our most expensive personal possessions precariously, and let you parkour off our cars, we’ll tolerate you scaring us everytime we walk around a corner; just please stay here, everywhere at all times, for a long time yet.
