The Hassle of all the SCREAMING fits

Eli’s shy upon first meeting. Chances are, he’s not going to talk to you, and no, he’s not being rude. When he does speak, he’s brutally honest, mostly because he doesn’t understand the social construct known as the lie. He also has the habit of making conversations lead back to his obsessions, or asking questions. Eli loves asking questions (even if he’s just asking to ask them.) With the mental capacity of a child, he often doesn’t understand some of the things going on around him, and is prone to temper tantrums if provoked. Eli absolutely hates physical contact (which is one of his provocations). If he likes you, he might start following and mimicking you. As weird as that is, it’s a good sign, I promise. He’s new to the center, and has been walking around for the past two weeks with that glassy, vacant look. He’s been asked a couple of times where he’d “scored the good stuff in this hell hole,” but the truth is, he’s been doped up on sedatives to keep him manageable. Most days, Eli can be found sitting in a corner, mumbling to himself as he rocks, but his head’s starting to get a little clearer…. Eli needs everything except lovers. Obviously, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. (Though, if some guy or gal wanted to think he was cute, well, I can’t say much about that.) He’s hard to connect with, but once out of his shell, he can be quite gentle and sweet. credit goes to cbd

For some reason I just see Veronica as drawn to this person for some reason I don't understand why but I'm just going with it. She would just like him, because he was different and not someone who I think would judge her or anything, except the honest part. That would probably help her though if anything. I think it could work as friends though, do you have any ideas?

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 6px solid #9a90a6; background: #f6f7f5; opacity: 0.8;] Eli & Veronica Sorry for stealing your template. XD I'm not used to proboard templates yet. Anyway, after Eli starts to get to know her, I could see him getting along with her. He's quite talkative once he opens up... and to be honest, he might not shut up. I could almost see him having an innocent, very childlike sort of crush on her. (Though, it wouldn't in the least bit be sexual, like I mentioned, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.) Nothing, obviously would come of the crush, but I think it would be adorable to see him try to give her presents that she might not actually want. As far as his brutal honesty, he's not mean perse... and if he is, it's not like he realises it. I could see him asking her to read to him and what not. Buuh. I'm getting rambly because i have to get ready to go. Any of this sound like a go?

We should totally thread this out soon too. She would be nice and probably find the crush cute and childlike. if he gave her things she would probably just be nice and accept things not to hurt his feelings or anything. Also, she'd love reading to him and things. it would probably be good for her. she doesn't talk much, but would probably feel all right to talk around him because of the way he is.

Elijah and Ebonie:
I really think Ebonie would spend a lot of time with Elijah. His lost look would draw her to him because she knows the place backwards and forwards and she'd want to show him around. Then I think she could bring out the sweetness in him because she is so nice, kind of an older sister vibe. Thoughts?

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 6px solid #9a90a6; background: #f6f7f5; opacity: 0.8;] Eli & Veronica Well, Eli's not mean perse when he's being brutally honest, he just doesn't understand the white lie, mostly. He tries to lie about little things ["Eli, did you steal my candy?" And he'll tell you "No" as he's eating it]; however, if you ask him if he likes your new hair cut, and he doesn't [even though it's socially polite to say you do] he'll tell you no, it's ugly [or whatever else he thinks about it.] I could see her [and Ebonie, but I'll get to Ebonie in a moment] being one of the few people he doesn't have a temper tantrum when they touch him[ it'll take awhile to work up to that, obviously.] I could see her hugging him, him just standing there awkwardly, letting her do it, and then after a moment being all "You'retouchingme. Stoptouchingnow," as he's trying to pull away. We should totally thread this soon.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 6px solid #9a90a6; background: #f6f7f5; opacity: 0.8;] Eli & Bologna Yeah, you read it right, Bologna. I could see him becoming very very attached to Ebonie because she reminds him of his sister. Actually, her resembling his sister would probably be the reason he starts following her/talking to her in the first place. He misses his little sister very much, but she couldn't take care of him anymore [which is why he's at the rehab center]. Because of she's got the sister vibe, Eli would totally give her stupid nicknames [His sister, for instance, is Smelly Ellie [he never calls her Eleanor.] Now Ebonie is Bologna.] He does have sort of a lost look, but it's more of an I'm-too-high-to-function-look because he's currently so doped up on sedatives to keep him under control. When Eli comes to think of her as his sister/family Ebonie should be prepared for very little personal privacy. Eli will burst into wherever she is whenever he pleases, and will try to annoy her [I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU, BOLOGNA!] or even wrestle around with her Yeah, this would totally happen. On the upside though, her reminding him of his sister could come in very helpful, especially to the staff because she'd be able to help calm him down when he's having a temper tantrum without them having to resort to sedatives. Anyway, thoughts? Yay, nay? Do you likkkke? Zomg. I have the excite We need to RP this soon.

yess. if you'd make it i'd love you forever.

Ebonie and Eli:
Okay, I don't have much to say because I just agree with everything you said! I will start a thread and you can jump in on it!

Melissa and Elijah

I love this character! c: I think that Melissa would want to be his friend. If they ever met and spoke, she might be more of an annoyance to him than anything else. If he didn't talk to her, she'd fill up the silence and do all of the chattering. She'd probably be somewhat offended if he chose to be brutally honest with her, or she'd take it in her stride, it depends on what he would say. That's the most of this idea that I've got right now, but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. c:

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 200px; overflow:auto; border: 6px solid #9a90a6; background: #f6f7f5; opacity: 0.8;] Eli & Melissa It's hard to annoy Eli unless you're doing things he specifically doesn't like [touching him/his things/etc] I don't think he'd mind her talking to him at all. It'd take him a little while to talk to her at first, but if she were nice enough to him, he probably would start, but when he starts talking, boy can he talk. With his honesty, he's not trying to be hurtful by it. He doesn't really understand what is and what isn't appropriate to say sometimes (so, it's okay to patiently reminding him that he's not allowed to say those pants make you look fat. ) It's nice for him to have people around, especially when most people either ignore him or mock him. (Believe me, he understands "Retard" isn't a nice thing, and he hates it.) I can't think of anything more at the moment because of my massive headache, but when I do, I'll certainly pm you. ^^

So, you're new to the center. I'm not new, but I am a returnee. But something about you just draws me closer to you. I don't pity you. I never pity anyone, but it's as if there is this gravitational pull between us that makes me want to get to know you more.

I don't approach you often, but when I do, I do try to converse with you. And I don't mind you asking questions all the time, in fact, I love answering your questions. Despite your autism, you always have something interesting to say and you are genuine. I'm still just a nobody to you, simply because we don't know each other all too well, but I hope to move this acquaintanceship into a better friendship.

You're different. You're not like the others. And I like that.

Melissa and Elijah

Ahh, I like this idea. If he's not much of a talker, Melissa would likely fill in the silences with nonsensical ramblings, but I imagine she'd be good for company, and that they'd be able to get on eventually. She wouldn't mind the 'waiting period' for him to get accustomed to her and the like. Tell me if you'd ever like to get this idea threaded, I'd be happy to. :)

[ebonie k. hazle]

Ah! I totally forgot to start a thread! I will do soon!
