The Wordsmith's Forge

>>Something I've noticed, as he's growing, is that while Shiv continues to freeze in certain situations due to triggers from his own past, he is increasingly inclined to break loose to defend someone else.<<

That's progress! It also probably ties into some of the work he's done as muscle for Boss White.

>>Yay! I showed him using the white-ball one earlier, so I've been watching for an opportunity to slap down the black.<<

Reading about both kinds of cards was fun. :D

>>Oh, he will. I have plans for that boy and art. ;) I've already statted up the nature-oriented art teacher and I found a picture for the wild bohemian one.<<

More Shiv + Art! Yayy!!!

>>Nada's the most vulnerable in that regard. Fortunately Shiv has other refugee friends and is clearly prepared to defend her with as much force as necessary. Danilo always has graffiti to fall back on. The two actual adults will just hunt around until they find classes they like. Since Shiv already tipped them to Hanson Hall, and they seem to be making friends with each other, so they'll likely show up there too.<<

I'm glad they all have some support to help them bounce back. It would suck if one bad experience ruined things for them.
