another one!? + warning for slow!

[cursedtolive]

seriously tho, another one? Yes! This will be the last, but this is Squigs again with another face -- this is Benjamin Thomas, aka Czeslaw Meyer from the light novel series, Baccano!

Benjamin will be eleven years, a sixth grader living in a dinky apartment with his older brother Jerry (Ben! and!! Jerry!!! yes) and he attends the public middle school when it's not on winter break. He's got a babysitter who's like a second sibling and he probably has friends somewhere but he also likes his time alone. If anyone'd like to set up pre-echo CR, I'm totally open to that.

Also, I will be heading to a convention this weekend! I will have my laptop and will still be tagging, but they will be slower and more sporadic than usual for the next few days. As usual my best method of contact is at redscarvesandjackets, and I hope everyone had a nice New Year's!

Schoolmates, yes? Though Toushirou is a grade ahead of Benjamin.

[cursedtolive]

Absolutely! I would love that. What does Toushirou do outside of classes? 0:

[icy_heavens]

Of course, how well they get along depends on just how much of a little shit Benjamin is. You know how easily-annoyed Toushirou is, and all. :D

Soccer is a big thing for Toushirou outside of classes, though the season is over so he won't be doing that as much right now. He sometimes hangs out at the periphery of art programs because he's secretly a sculpture nerd. He also winds up doing a lot of general errands around town because his granny has bouts of bad arthritis and he wants to make things easier for her.

[cursedtolive]

He's pretty annoying to adults and anyone more than five years older probably, but if it's someone close to his age, he won't be too much of a shit toward him!

Benjamin can't afford to play sports at school, unfortunately, but he enjoys art! Art (or crafts) is something he indulged in since he was smaller and if he has a friend interested in something, he'll take interest too.

I have a preteen lad as well, though Phillip's a year behind Benjamin. But damnit the preteens need to stick together so COME JOIN THE CLUB. 8D

uhhh aside from maybe knowing each other in elementary school Phillip plays soccer and is in the community theater stuff so!

[cursedtolive]

HE'LL JOIN YOUR CLUB

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY ADULTS

Benjamin was... in neither! But it's elementary school -- they probably played the same games during lunch recess and got along, perhaps??

YAY KID PARTY NO GROWN UPS ALLOWED

Speaking of parties Phillip's b-day was the 1st so if you think they'd have been decent enough friends Benjamin could have been there? BUT OTHER WISE YES playground buddiiiiies. is it true there's no recess in middle school that sucks. :(

[cursedtolive]

aaaah, if that's ok with you that would be really cool! he doesn't get to have birthday parties of his own and he always feels back about presents because he can't do anything fancy :( but he would like to go to parties!!

no we don't get recess but you can play on the blacktop if you want during lunch

this is still me sorry

[ninthmelody]

I AM TOTALLY COOL WITH IT. :D Luke and Toushirou would have been there too, so all the bitties! (And it's ok about the presents, Phillip really like handmade stuff from friends. c: )

that's ok I guess. =/

[darkhourdear]
