[Hello Paradisa!

You might come across a small red boy with horns and a tail scampering around the halls. Or maybe he's in the kitchen. Or maybe he's climbing trees outside. Or maybe he's poking around in the stables. Or maybe he's in the lobby, hiding behind a potted plant.

Wherever he is, he just looks curious and excited by everything!!!

And if for whatever reason you don't stumble upon this little guy, there are some nice doodles for you to comment on in the journal.



He's also singing some dumb rhymes as he runs around, so you might hear that too.]

If in Heaven we don't meet, hand in hand we'll face the heat. And if things ever get too hot, Pepsi-Cola hits the spot ...

[ooc. loss start! open over the journal or in person, whichever!]

Comments

yes true!

[TEMPORARY KIDS ARE STILL KIDS it counts okok]

Oh, like a telephone? That's neat. [He just accepts this, whatever. And then he doodles a few stylized lobster claws.]

What do you like to draw?

[takethat]

I just draw whatever comes to mind. Scenery, mostly, but every now and then I draw my friends.

[He grabs a nearby blue ink pen and starts sketching out a pair of eyes.]

Or at least parts of them...

[Chuckle]

[hellshaped]

I like to draw characters from my comic books. Do you read comics? Or -- maybe you don't, you sound like a grown up.

[takethat]

Sometimes I read comic books, but to be fair, a couple of my best friends are way more into them than I am. But... I guess I read more comic books than actual books!

[best lawyer]

[hellshaped]

Really? Wow, that's neat. Most of the grown-ups I know don't read comics or anything.

[takethat]

They sound kind of dull.

[hellshaped]

They're okay. They mostly just talk about grown-up stuff.

[takethat]

I make a point to talk about not grown-up things at least once every day, if I can manage.

[hellshaped]

That's a pretty good idea! Maybe it'll keep you from getting too old.

[takethat]

That'd be good. I'm not looking forward to being old someday.

[hellshaped]

[YOU ALREADY ARE OLD but he has some semblance of tact, even as a kid.]

Me neither.
