[Well that was stupid. Harmless, as far as Benson could tell, but still stupid. Pranks weren't things Benson put much stock in, but he went along with them to the best of his ability anyway in order to avoid getting droned. Was he good at them? Not really. Did he manage to prank anyone? Miraculously, yes. He got a few people. Even then it wasn't fun. To Benson, there was nothing "fun" about tricking people, or screwing with them. It was cruel in a way.
He felt he shouldn't feel guilty about them, not really, considering how harmless they were. But he does anyway.
Benson also by this point understood what the regain packages were. He had gained at least one during Christmas, after all, though he hadn't seen one for himself since then. So he wondered if the fact that there were two - one big, one small - was supposed to make up for the fact that it had been so long since he'd gotten one.
And for some reason, he has an odd sense of dread. So he'll be careful and start with the small one.]
[Action - Around Ricardo Street]
[Unfortunately for Benson, he chose wrong when he decided to open the small package first. At first, he was kind of delighted by the honeycomb. It was practical and something he could at least use in cooking.
What Benson wasn't so delighted about was the swarm of 100 angry bees that came with the honeycomb. The honeycomb is now laying harmlessly on the lawn of 507 Ricardo Street.
The bees, meanwhile, are a swarming black cloud chasing a skinny man running down the street. Benson flails, swatting and trying to strike at the cloud if it gets too close and occasionally having to brush some of the bees off as he tears ass down the street.
Enjoy the show folks.]
[Action - Outside 507 Ricardo Street]
[After Benson's amazing bee adventure, he wasn't too thrilled about opening his next package at first. In fact, he planned to let it just sit out there and rot, but if it was something dangerous than it was better to get it out of the way before it could hurt someone else. And so Benson began to open the packaging with the hesitation and care of a man working on removing a live timebomb.
And to his relief, this time, it turned out the timebomb was dead from the get go. Instead of some other horror like he had expected in his package, Benson actually smiled a bit as he got rid of the rest of the packaging.
If you're passing by today, you'll notice a fairly nice drum set is out on the lawn of 507 Ricardo Street. Benson sits down by it at the moment, feeling the drum sticks in his hands for a moment. It's been a few months since he's had his set, let alone practice, and maybe out in public wouldn't be the best place to try again.
But he's lazy at the moment for once and doesn't want to carry them inside, so hell. Why not. He'll begin to play.
And he's not half-bad at it, either. He's pretty clearly focused as hell while he plays, but he's pretty good at them.]
