[action - around town in the afternoon]
[There's a small little boy walking around town. A flat cap pulled down over his eyes, and a brown jacket even in the middle of July. His outfit choice looks a couple decades out of date, too, although the clothes are definitely from the right era. Fashion statement?

Seemingly lost in his thoughts, Czeslaw Meyer-Stanfield is not paying much attention to where he is going. He passes by houses, by shops, by people. He might accidentally bump into people, at which point he will blink the surprise away and smile sheepishly, with a natural-sounding]

Oh...! Oh, I'm sorry [mister, or miss]. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going. I didn't mean to run into you. Good afternoon!

[action - 459 Stone Street]
[Nope. Nope. Nope nope nope. He can't handle this family arrangement. His "mother" won't let him hole up in his room, though, so he's sitting in a chair in the corner of the front room watching the door so he'll never be surprised by his "father"'s homecoming.]

Well, I can do that. I just have to stay out of trouble, then, right?

[encored]

That's about the long and short of it, yes. We get dragged into things regardless of our behavior at times, but one must learn to expect the unexpected here.

[cursedtolive]

That's not a big problem! I'm used to unexpected things happening.

[encored]

You'll fare better than most, in that case. [his opinion of the general populace is not really the greatest, though...]

At any rate, I've got errands to run. Good luck adjusting.

[cursedtolive]

Thank you Mr. Charles. Maybe I'll be seeing you around.

It's a small town, we'll likely run into each other again. [he raises his hand in a parting gesture before turning to mosey in the direction he had been heading before.]
