I saw one of you're reblogs and so now I'm curious what are all the reasons (or at least some of them) that the NRC staff should be fired? (I am not saying they shouldn't they absolutely should! I'm just curious.)
I mean, in a game - especially a game like this - it’s fine. But from a real world perspective….
Vargas - Mostly, I was talking about Vargas during the first camping event. One chaperone for, like, 20+ dumb competitive teens is already pushing the line. (My school requires one chaperone per 12 for overnight trips.) During the night, when kids are going to get up to the most shenanigans, he was far enough away that he would have no idea. He sent them into a mine where known monsters are, without their pens, unable to defend themselves, without supervision. Every single one of those things, individually, is worth firing. He put their lives at risk. And let’s not forget the biggie - NOT EVEN NOTICING DEUCE WAS MISSING. Oh, and IGNORING the kids who tried to tell him Deuce was missing! And the biggest - he was tormenting them ‘for their own good’ which is absolute BS. I kept leaving the bedroom to rant at my husband about this. In real life, Vargas not only would be fired, he’d be brought up on endangerment charges.
Crowley - Foists all of his work onto his students. Lets MC (potentially a minor) live in a dorm that would send an inspector home in tears, and threatens their food supply at any given opportunity. He didn’t have to take them in (although I have my own thoughts on that), but he did. And by doing so, he took responsibility, and then shirks it all the time. It’s funny for us, an audience, but in real life it’s beyond unacceptable.
Crewel - Literally carries around kink equipment, and refers to his students as puppies. Now, I sometimes refer to my students as puppies, but I’m joking with them. Crewel is threatening with that pointer that kind of looks like a dog’s dick, attached to an S&M collar. There’s a lot of headcanons that have him as the father figure to a young MC, and I can 100% see it. I think he’s doing what he’s doing because he really believes in it, and wants his students to do and be better than they are. Just….his execution (for the real world) is flawed. In game, I think it works perfectly.
Trein- other than the potential allergy issues for students with him bringing his cat in all the time, he’s fine.
Sam - sells shady shit. You KNOW half of what he’s selling is illegal. He makes shady deals with students (mostly Idia), exploits their labor, and so on. Works perfectly in game, because it allows the characters to get whatever wacky, off-the-wall plot-armor device they need, but IRL the guy in charge of money at the school would be side-eyeing him REALLY hard.
So there we are! My opinion, as a veteran teacher, as to why the NRC faculty (most of them) would not survive as teachers in the real world!
