I'm seventeen, so not TOO far off on the whole thing with finding a place to stay. I'd literally just started my last semester of senior year, but I'm honestly not sure the first one really counts as worth a damn. Gotham under the Court of Owls had some...interesting ideas. Also destructive and unfair and disgusting so...I don't think anything actually accredited will be so eager to accept the history and stuff I just took.
Hobby stuff could be good, sure.
It was a really weird and Hellish summer. Dad thought I was somehow soft because I didn't buy into some twisted rhetoric put out by the Court's leaders, since he was friends with one, so he sent me to a deserted island for the summer to see if I could manage.
...Stuff did get better and my parents realized they'd made a couple mistakes in who to trust, and that they were big mistakes. Of course, talking about that part of things got them killed so that's...something.
Honestly, the Gotham thing and the dead parents thing is the stressful part. Being Nature Boy feels more like a weird interlude, now. There's more to do with the stress thing but honestly, its a whole lot more involved so...for a start, we'll say Gotham related, move from there.
