[center][h1][color=#DC143C]JJ[/color][/h1][/center][hr] Wertham Community Centre was awash with little verses and lyrics here and there of rasta and of rebellion. It tickled JJ's childish side. His focus was on clean broad strokes to apply bland but pleasant white tones over the gnarled abused benches. He slowed his movements as the paint wore thin, re-applying with a quick wrist to the bucket of paint least it dry and fray his work. Simple matters such as this is what he aught to focus on, perhaps it would do him some good. Maybe he was getting some secondhand of the wacky tobbacy. He inhaled his own puffer thanks to Prince before taking a small break to remark on the work others were doing. He caught some newer faces too. This was getting to be an event in JJ's restless mind. [color=#DC143C][i]"A little painting here, some yardwork over there, fish the bay, heck we have it all don't we."[/i][/color], He spoke in a soft chuckle near the end. His sarcasm hopefully landed with some still others he saw looked lost in the sauce. A sliver of french caught his ears as he turned to see some of the ladies getting to work too. This deck of cards was playing itself out interestingly. It gave JJ a large smirk. A lanky newer face([color=0033A0][b][i]Aksel[/i][/b][/color]) had managed to sneak into the group even. He felt like water to JJ, finding the crevasses to fill in. Moldable even. The youth's rambunctious side was stirring again so he struck a line toward the fellow, something in his accent sounding far off and cold. [color=#DC143C][i]"Cosmetic paint hides alot I guess. Hard to hide from people though."[/i][/color] He said as he walked up toward the tall guy, empty can lugging in tow. The way he approached from the back to refill his can made it seem slick but JJ was keen on introducing himself more. A receptive voice might be the ticket to a friendship if it played out right.[color=#DC143C][i]"Name's JJ by the way, what's yours?"[/i][/color] spoke the joyrider, who instead of offering a hand was busy restocking his endeavor.
