An OD survival Guide for ParkStreetians

I feel like one stealthy ninja when I walk through the hallways of OD.
It is like I have successfully infiltrated a foreign country and have blended in with society there.
The truth is:
I am an alien. 
However, how could anyone else know? I know some of my 'classmates' have come to realize that I do not belong there, but for them to blow my cover would mean death.
The customs are different, the groups of people are different.
I haven't had much of a chance to analyze the disturbing nature of the majority of the OD students, however there are some beings who share many common characteristics with my own people!
There are many kind people at OD, some of which I have decided to mingle amongst (they know who they are).
Walking through the hallway, I have noticed, some people seem unnerved when I make eye contact with them and smile. In the place I come from it is a custom, silent greeting.
I've had many females glare when I smile at them, but the majority just give me a confused look that asks: 'Who are you?' Of course they have no idea. We share a common tongue, which made my life a lot easier.
We are much simpler folk, as demonstrated by our architecture (two boxes on top of each other), OD on the other hand is a complex maze, meant to confuse those who are unsure of where things are. I have a strange feeling this is part of their plan to weed out those who do not belong... but I must not jump to conclusions.I believe the easiest way to navigate this labyrinth is follow the pack.
like a boss
I must remember, however, I am the foreigner here. I cannot allow people to become too suspicious of me. I must learn to blend in. Like Altair blending in with a crowd... except that may be a bit suspicious, these people may not be as foolish and slow as the templars.


I have a strange suspicion that if I ever find myself lost, that they will notice. I will be like a fluffy lamb amongst a pack of wolves. I think they will hunt me down, put a bag over my head, torture than cannibalize me... but that may just be my paranoia.
I live by the rule of 'play it safe'. Laugh when everyone else laughs, don't make a giant spectacle and just wait your turn. Blend into the background like no tomorrow.
My first couple of weeks have been fairly easy... I believe it has been quite a success.
That is all I can say for now, any turns in events will be reported.

This stealthy ninja is signing out.
