The Promise of Adventure & Family --- [CLOSED]

May

The dungeon itself was impressive, as to be expected from such a structure. It reached far beyond the clouds in the sky, to the point that May wondered how in the hell they even managed to keep it standing. The foundation and building material either had to be far beyond anything most people are capable of, or (more likely) the structure itself was kept steady through magic. May quickly made her way towards the monolith - she was dressed in the rather plain dress that she had worn for the majority of her life, the only differentiating thing being that it was significantly more padded than usual. An older woman that she knew from the streets had offered to patch it up for her when she headed into the dungeon for the first time... Along with her dress, she also had the iron dagger she was given by her father since she was a child. He gave it to her to only be used to protect herself from vagrants and more violent members of the slums, but she was thankfully able to avoid such circumstances.

As she approached, parties became apparent features of the tower - teams organizing their strategies before entering the hellscape that lied just below the surface. It was hard to discern whether she was jealous or grateful - With another person there, she would have more help, but she would be forced to share the loot with whoever she sided with. That was something she would do her best to avoid - especially if she paired up with someone that was a stranger. Just as was within view of the Towers entrance, however, May saw her.

She was a beast human, specifically a hume bunny. She had light blond hair, and sported a large amount of bags and bottles that hung from her sides. What caught May was that the girl was a member of her familia - and, therefore, most likely a senior figure to her. May her self only recently joined the familia, so it was fair to say the vast majority of the familia was her senior. The temptation to call out and party was tempting, but considering how far out ahead she was, it was quickly suppressed. May knew from experience that the best way to live was to get as little attention as possible - being some big shot was a quick way to get stabbed where she was from. If they meet up, they met up - May just wouldn't be the one to instigate it. Asking for help was a sign of weakness. Worst case scenario, May would do what she planned to - fight on the first floor, get as much as she could, and leave.

Best case scenario, they teamed up - having an ally was more valuable than first floor drops. And it would be better to team up with someone from the same familia - the Isis familia had been generous so far in their care.

The Promise of Adventure & Family --- [CLOSED]

May Corwel

Name: May Corwel

Age: 17

Race: Werewolf

Background: Born to an incredibly poor family on the outskirts of Rezion, May spent the majority of her youth either foraging for food on the streets, working as a bar maid in the Barrel's edge, or spending time at the local library. She was an only child, and both her and her parents were homeless. Supporting the family was her major concern, and on several nights, she slept in the public library in order to avoid the streets.

While she originally only visited for a roof over her head, May quickly became enamored with both the library, and the old man who acted as the librarian. He was crotchety, rough - almost abrasive. But despite his rude words, he did care for those around him. He only complained slightly whenever she slept in the old building, only shaking her awake if he cooked a meal for her. Eventually, May even began an education - the older man taught her to read, always was ready to help. In return, May was always willing to help restock books, and made herself useful. The man even snuck her a book on basic magical theory for her birthday. The pair had spent time together for years and May, once a poor street girl, was steadily learning healing magic and had a decent career planned as a doctor.

The librarian, the man responsible for this, died peacefully in his sleep. He passed due to an illness, easily treatable with a good elixir. In his will, he left the library, and all of it's contents, to May - the girl who treasured it the most.

With a place for her and her parents to live in, May grew to idolize wealth. Had she possessed enough wealth, perhaps she could have saved the man that saved her and her family. She quickly turned this idolization into an obsession - she wished to have more money than anyone, enough to buy anything she could ever need or want. To this end, she elected to join the Isis familia - while not the strongest or wealthiest, it matched her talents the best. And people were always willing to pay for their life.

Personality: May is an incredibly kind girl who was raised in circumstances that demanded toughness. As such, she is usually one of the kindest people around - she is polite, always offers support, and refuses to hurt people. This changes drastically whenever money is involved.

When she thinks she has the chance to make quick cash, May uses dirty tactics, blackmail, and is perfectly fine with charging for her healing services. While this will never happen in the tower, she is a nightmare to split loot with. This behavior is not present when dealing with people who are poor or do not have any money, and May actively tries to improve the conditions of these people.

Henry

Interactions: @TheHangedMan

Once he finished speaking, the hungry woman responded to Temperance's thanks with a few words, and by snatching one of the escaping beetles from the lunch box.

"You don't mind me havin' one, do you Henry? I've got a bunch of other snacks to spare, in return."

"Negative. Sharing foundation of Friendship."

Excellent - Henry was officially friends with at least two other people, and judging by the various kids splintering off into separate factions, he was also part of a 'group,' or 'clique.' Excellent.

Speaking of factions, both the girl that was rude to the hungry one, and the leaf girl had returned. Henry briefly contemplated whether aggressiveness would be appropriate, considering the Asian girl was somewhat mean to his new friend, but he chose against it. He didn't want to make enemies, since that would simply bothersome and take up time.

"Would you mind keeping the disruptive noises such as that down please, such noises can be rather distressing, especially when unexpected. And given the situation, it's likely best to wait for a staff member from the academy rather than causing a ruckus. "

Henry silently decided to follow the statement, doing his best to lower the intensity of his buzzing. He knew that he must have been a bother to most of the kids here, especially considering his strange physiology. Avoiding conflict and trying to pass with as little resistance as possible was the best course of action. Almost immediately, however, this request of silence was broken by the resonating sound of a horn, coming from a bus that had just arrived. Temperance was kind enough to use her sped to secure the group a spot in the back of the bus. With another loud bang, Henry's form was once again scattered.

Rather than waste the time and gather back into a humanoid form, Henry instead had the majority of his form follow several other students onto the bus. Only 100 remained, and they moved all of Henry's luggage onto the bus - right next to the lunchbox that Temperance had made for him. In all, the space on the seat wasn't even completely filled, and while he could have sat down right there, he didn't want to cause his new friends discomfort - his form was rather intimidating, especially for those not well acquainted with him. Sitting down would simply cause the others to feel uncomfortable. Instead, all of Henry's wasps flew and collected on the roof, landing and being as quiet as possible. Only a single wasp remained on the seat that he had planned to sit at. Occasionally, the lone wasp would kill one of the insects, before carrying it and switching places with one of the wasps in the corner of the bus.

The woman thankfully picked up the honey, before she began to spread it along bread and combined it with peanut butter - a delicacy that Henry himself had never tried.

"Uh ... huh. Hey, thanks. Can't tell if I'm actually lookin' at you, but thanks. You're a pretty swell ... uh, guy? Er, what's your name anyhow?"

It seemed that the offering had succeeded in "Breaking the ice." Now Henry would simply need to learn the woman's name, her hobbies, favorite color, and offer to let her copy his homework if she forgets. Then, they would be friends. Preparing himself to respond, Henry was interrupted as another person swatted several of the wasps that had pushed the succulent treat over to the women. Henry had saw her in the crowd earlier, but had just noticed her appear - while the swatting itself was easy to ignore, it had nearly crippled one of the wasps that had gotten severely hit - not too much of a problem, since there were 2000 more, but Henry still needed time to set up the new nest before he could risk having wasps die.

"Yeah, you might want to stop doing that, I'm pretty sure that these wasps are a person. Or something. They can talk, so I'm pretty sure. Besides, they gave me honey, so their fine in my book."

immediately, the intensity of the buzzing insects increased - excellent, she did recognize him as a friend! Perfect, most of the other steps could be skipped in that case. Simply learning her name would suffice. The woman who had smacked him suddenly swore in response, before beginning to stumble with her words. Henry realized this was an excellent time to establish a "cool guy" impression by kindly dismissing the rude action, but before he had the chance, a burst of wind dragged his form apart temporarily.

Luckily, no wasps were injured in the sudden shock wave, but as the air rushed to fill in places where it was somehow displaced, the force was strong enough to drag the wasps apart. It merely took a few seconds to return to their original positions, but it was still very disconcerting.

The girl seemed to have moved her original position, and was bearing a somewhat plain lunchbox containing a collection of insects. Henry had long ago forsaken the disgust most people get when looking at bugs, a necessity considering his situation, and listened to the woman speak.

"I'm terribly sorry for that. I didn't even consider the possibility you might be more than you seemed. Here, I got these for you."

"Thanks. Name Henry. Male. Nice meet both you."

Suddenly, a dilemma occurred - while the second girl was kind enough to use her abstraction (Some form of super speed? Having enough time to fill a lunch box eliminated teleporting.), Henry was not sure if he could lift the metallic box with only a few wasps. He easily could using his entire body, but that would freak the woman out, and he didn't want to scare away potential friends.

"Please, put on ground."

While the train ride itself was fairly boring, Henry was more focused on carrying his belongings - a phone, a small jar of honey, several pens and pencils, a 100 dollar bill, and the letter that he was given by the academy. He mostly left them on the ground covered in wasps, but the jar was far too precious to leave there - an ant could easily steal the succulent contents, especially considering the lid was not very tight. It couldn't be, or else Henry wouldn't be able to open it at all. Upon getting situated, and when the other students exited the train, Henry quickly observed them.

None of the individuals looked particularly eye catching - or, at the very least, none of their alterations made them appear radical. Only one girl appeared different from the others, appearing to be entirely made of plant matter. The thought of having another mutated student calmed Henry slightly. He was very nervous, after all - this was very different from his old home town in Virginia.

While the other students didn't show any obvious signs of their alterations, Henry still took notice - it would be detrimental if one of them had a dangerous alteration. An albino man who appeared very muscular, but thanks to the hair, Henry's father most likely would have assumed he was one of the gays. Henry, however, did not rush to such conclusions - he simply chose to believe that the man had a particular style. People did alter their appearance simply on personal taste, and hair is the easiest part to change, after all.

A fairly aesthetic woman was next, appearing to be of some Asian descent, and was gorging herself on food. Henry was briefly bought back to a Nutrition class he had taken at his old high school, and judging on the large quantity of food, the woman had eaten at least a few thousand calories. Perhaps she did not normally eat like that, and it was simple stress.

Another albino was present, this one wearing a hoodie and seeming to be rather aloof. Henry could not make a good assessment of the man, and chose to keep his distance.

A black haired woman with long hair, a short and black haired man, a red headed girl, and a dark red headed boy appeared as well, but there was really nothing to comment on about them. They were simply present, and the vision of a wasp was not good enough to make perfect observations. The most interesting of the group, the plant woman, began the introductions - or, Lea began the introductions would be more appropriate now that Henry knew her name.

Almost immediately, everyone began to either introduce themselves, or return a half-assed greeting - something that pissed Henry off. If you do something, at least be serious about it. He was about to introduce himself to Lea, when another girl began to talk at length, before dragging Lea away. Following would have been as easy as sending a wasp to spy on them, but Henry had been yelled at several times for sending his wasps and listening behind others backs - apparently, it was very rude.

With nothing to do, Henry chose to do what his mother had recommended - sharing was a valuable way to make friends, and she had said being close to a person makes them more efficient in their duties. With several wasps pushing his honey jar against the ground, Henry slowly moved it to the woman who had eaten so much food earlier - out of the available people, she was the most likely to accept the offer.

As the jar was finally pushed to her feet, Henry quickly focused, and with focused effort, succeeded in speaking.

"Would you like? Look Hungry. Sharing develop friendship."

Day 6

Making his way back to his companion, Theo led Karma over to the pregenerated Coffin along the side and back of the Town hall. There, Kajin Najin was present - his face unblemished and appearing just as it did when they first met. Theo remained calm at first, not speaking for nearly 30 minutes into the funeral.

"This is Kajin. You met him once, but I'm not really sure how close you were to him. He and Aster were the first people I met here."

Theo paused for a few seconds, tears welling in the corner of his eyes as he spoke again, albeit in a shakier voice.

"I don't think anyone really mentioned it, but he died in his sleep... Someone probably pulled the nerve gear off of him, or something happened while he was moved to the hospital."

Theo collected himself, solely through the Acting skill. He felt like falling to the ground and crying. This game was supposed to be a gift - a chance to leave the shitty, useless version of himself behind. But instead, it was a fight of life and death...

"I... I know there was nothing I could do for Kajin. B-but even then... I nearly let you and Alisea die last night. The reason I invited you here wasn't to apologize though."

Theo calmed himself again - he had to make a conscious effort to not cry at the stress. Even having been a medical student, he had never felt this horrible before.

"You're the only person in the guild who I know can heal... The reason I invited you was because I feel like we're the ones with the most responsibility. I feel like if anyone dies, it's because I wasn't good enough."

"I just want to let you know - if you ever have any doubts, or you're worried about something, anything at all - I'll be there. I'm the tank, and you're the Healer - as long as you do your best to keep the group survive, I'll be happy."

After the Funeral was done, Theo spoke with Karma again - this time, a goodbye.

"Sorry for getting all heavy and shit on you there! I know that it probably seemed lame as hell, but I feel better that it's off my chest. See ya tomorrow, Karma"

Theo left, making his way back to the inn to pay for his room and eat dinner. The funeral opened his eyes - he was trapped in the game to be Dirk. Dirk was strong, and could keep everyone safe. He was a hero - and while Theo didn't want to ever go into a dungeon and risk someone's life again, he knew that the others would never stop just to stay safe.

So Dirk would have to protect them, like he always did in the other games Theo played. Dirk the guardian, Dirk the defender. Dirk the resolute would defend the party as much as he could. If he was lucky, their would be no more deaths.

And if he was unlucky, at least the next person to die would be himself.

DAY 6 - Genesis City - 6PM

After eating his meal, Theo decided to quickly use what he had in order to make some money. Theo always read the newsletter and announcements that were public, and had been itching to sign up for the subscription sold by the Data Link 66 Guild. Given his poor financial situation, however, Theo chose to head to another guild house in order to make some quick cash.

The White Templars.

Not much was known about them, other than the fact that they were willing to buy info related to the dungeons - just what Theo had at his disposal.

Theo arrived a the somewhat small building on the south side of the city. It stood two stories tall, bearing a simple oaken exterior that was painted a similar color to the surrounding homes and buildings. While no mansion by any means, when compared to the Legion's constant drain of wealth by renting rooms, the guild house of the White Templars was a veritable paradise. Theo spent several seconds standing still and being impressed with the fact that players owned actual land and a building, but quickly reminded himself why he came. Just as he made his way to the door, Theo spotted a younger man out of the corner of his eye and, after waving him over, introduced himself.

"Good Morning, sir! Are you a member of the Templars? I, Dirk Davidson, have information related to the dungeon known as 'The Hill's sorrow.' If possible, I'd like to speak with Crystalball about it."

"Welcome to the White Templars, Dirk Davidson." The young man greeted Dirk in a reserved manner, his robes flowing as he stepped towards him. "Crystalball is inside, if you will follow me..."

Following the robed individual at a small distance, Theo silently admired the interior. It wasn't as large or as impressive as the inns interior, but was still very homely, and the fact that the guild actually owned it was impressive. It took only a dozen or so seconds of walking to make it to a single individual, a man who was resting in what appeared to be a common room of the building. Quickly, Theo introduced himself to the man he presumed to be Crystalball.

"It is a pleasure to meet you! Dirk Davidson is my name, and I have come in response to the request your guild has made for dungeon information."

"Ah," Crystalball rose up from his comfortable chair to extend his right hand towards Theo. "Knowledge is appreciated. A pleasure to meet you friend, I am Crystalball."

Theo grabbed the hand with far more force than necessary, and shook it just as roughly. "A pleasure to meet you as well!"

The handshake continued for nearly 10 seconds before Theo let go, and began to speak.

"The information I have on 'The Hill's Sorrow' is complete - the monsters, most of their abilities, the general layout, and even some of the possible loot. Before I say anything, however, I must know how much you are willing to pay." Theo winked, and like most of his actions so far, it was very exaggerated. "Me and my guild would love to get a house as nice as this one, after all."

Crystalball clearly looked slightly uncomfortable at Dirk's vigorous handshake but he didn't lose his calm demeanor. "The entirety if the dungeon? Complete with all the data such as loots, monsters....?" Crystalball scratched his chin slightly in contemplation. "I assume then, you are that party that managed to beat the dungeon for the first time?"

Theo quickly gave his signature thumbs up and smile, before responding to the man. "That's right! Cleared the place out, we did!"

Theo then began to speak in a lower, much calmer tone of voice.

"I am willing to wait as long as you would like as you decided on what you feel would be a fair price. Just know that all the information I give you will be true - Dirk Davidson isn't a liar."

"Hmm.... And I assume everyone you cleared this dungeon with has access to this information? Well, unfortunately that would devalue it..."

Shit. Quickly, Theo pretended to be dismissive towards the comment, waving his hand in a similar fashion.

"They haven't told anyone yet, and I'm not sure if they even look at the announcements. They'll be too busy preparing to clear the floor dungeon, and by that point, you'll have had plenty of time to do whatever you wish with the information."

Theo had no clue if that was true, but he did know that if any of the guild did tell anyone about the dungeon, they didn't go in depth. Why would they, when a large portion of the player base probably didn't even plan to go to dungeons and were just going to farm weaker mobs.

".... Hmm...." Crystalball contemplated. He nodded towards another guild member. "I can offer you 3 golds."

Theo silently sat where he was, thinking carefully - 300 Renn was more than he had honestly expected, and he was very eager to accept. However, he planned future business with these individuals, and showing too much excitement could make them undercut him in the future.

"That's a deal I can accept! Very well, where would you like me to start?"

Theo proceeded to describe the dungeon the best he could remember, from the various monsters, to the loot they received, and even the locations of the monsters on the map. While he wasn't able to supply stats, Theo was very clear on the dangerous boss, as well as the ghost wolves that the party faced. Upon finishing, he was quickly paid his 3 gold, and left the house. On his way to the inn, he stopped buy a vendor NPC, and sold his Buckler, Leather Armor, common longsword, and the potion of resilience. This, along with the renn from the information, led to a pretty sum of 719 renn. Heading back to the inn, Theo quickly went to bed for the night.

DAY 7 - Genesis City - 9AM

Waking up to the warm rays of light coming through his window, Theo rose from bed ready to start the day. He payed for shower and breakfast, before making his way to the Data Link 66 Guild house, and after an hour or two to travel there and pay for it, he successfully got a subscription. The information would be expensive, but anything was worth knowing what was happening in the game.

After reading the first PM, Theo made his way to the Arena. He had been wondering since he had gotten them, but the spells he had gotten were incredibly powerful - to the point that he wanted to test them out on an opponent. Of course, going out in the wilderness was dangerous, and he didn't want to inconvenience his friends.

After visiting the apothecary and the fountain in order to top off his health and mana, Theo arrived at the arena to see that there were several other players already there. As it turned out, many players dueled in the arena due to it being spacious and a place that fighting was expected to be done. Theo watched a few fights occur, before making his way closer to a group of players talking with one another. Theo didn't want to interrupt them, so he simply waited and listened to see if there was anything interesting that they would do.

Henry Higgins

Appearance

Unlike most individuals, Henry is not a single body - he is composed of hundreds, if not thousands of wasps. The wasps vary in size and species, with some barely being half an inch long, and the largest being 2 inches in size. While capable of swarming and becoming nearly any shape, the most common is an androgynous humanoid figure. His voice is very harsh, especially considering it is just the precise buzzing of dozens of wasps in unison. Henry does not wear clothes, as it would weight him down heavily and he already has troubles with his strength.

Picture above is one of the larger wasps, trying to eat Henry's favorite foods.

Name: Henry Higgins

Sex: Male/90% Female, 10% Male (Original/After Alteration)

Age: 16

Nationality: American

Alteration:

Wasp Swarm: Henry is a swarm of wasps composed of varying species, and is capable of controlling all of them individually or as a group. Through them, he is able to gather information, and he is a hive mind that all the wasps he control are a part of. He can theoretically have an infinite number of them, as long as he has enough food to feed them, and his mind is able to deal with the sensory overload. Henry is able to switch which wasps he has control over with 30 seconds of concentrated focus. When not controlling some wasps, he is able to order them to have one of three "idle actions" and one of three "dispositions." These are "Grow, Stagnate, and starve" and "Aggressive, Neutral, and Docile" respectively (One of each is chosen, such as Aggressive growth or Docile stagnation.)

Downsides:

Limited Focus: Despite theoretically being able to produce an infinite number of wasps, he is only able to control 2000 at one time. Additionally, all wasps that he directly controls must be within 5 miles of each other, or become feral. In order to switch which which wasps he has control over, at least one of the wasps he currently controls must be within 20 feet of the ones he wishes to take control of.

Wasp Weakness: The wasps that Henry is composed of are normal, average wasps. They are very susceptible to the cold, can be poisoned, and are generally weak against anything that would kill a normal wasp. This combined with area of effect attacks could easily take out Henry. During the winter time, Henry is restricted to the inside, or runs the risk of dying. Additionally, things normal humans are able to do is difficult for Henry - he is incredibly weak physically due to lacking actual muscles, and speaking is only accomplished through very precise and tiring buzzing.

Rarity: Uncommon/Special (People with animal swarming related Alterations/ Wasp swarming Alterations)

Preferred Classes:

Biology: By far his favorite class, Henry loves biology as it adheres to his primary philosophies - survival of the fittest, and logical analysis. Species must fight over resources and evolve in order to surpass one another - Henry finds it somewhat poetic.

Math: Thanks to his more logical and ordered way of thinking, mathematics have always come extremely easy to Henry, and he enjoys spending his time doing complex equations.

Psychology: While he cares little for most people's opinions, he finds the minds of people very interesting. Since he does not understand most emotions, he instead relies on using psychological techniques in order to communicate and become friends with others.

Personality: Well-mannered, if a bit cold, Henry is analytical and precise in his decision making. He possesses very high degrees of intellect, despite the fact that his brain is divided among many small insects, and is incredibly skilled at direct thinking, logical conclusions, and complex calculations. While his intellect is impressive considering his circumstances, his ego easily causes this to become an annoyance rather than a benefit - Henry views himself as the closest an organism can be to perfect, since he is the combination of a swarm of lesser creatures. While this is far from true, Henry believes it vehemently, and trying to argue this with him is one of the few ways to make him angry.

Henry cares very little for ethics and moral difficulties, a trait he copied from his father. While this doesn't mean he will go around committing murder and theft, he is less likely to help people simply because it is the right thing to do. Another trait adopted from his parents, this time his mother, is his intense focus on efficiency. Henry hates people who are lazy and choose to waste their time, as he sees this as a waste of energy, and an insult to animals that must work hard to survive. Upon finding a goal, he is single-minded and ruthless in obtaining it.

While he initially seems like someone who is difficult to deal with, Henry has several redeeming qualities. He is always willing to lend his notes and homework to other classmates, and is perfectly fine with them cheating off of him as well. His desire for efficiency is overpowered by his polite ad high-class upbringing, causing Henry to listen to others and change many things he does if it makes them feel more comfortable. While he lacks most ethics, promises are an integral part of his character, and he refuses to break them in any way. Finally, if others are willing to accommodate his rather strange life style and behavior, we will go to great lengths in order to do the same for them - making them feel comfortable, doing minor chores, giving them money, etc. As long as someone asks him for something, they have not slighted him before, and they are polite in doing so, Henry will usually submit and give them what they want.

Due to his difficulty speaking, Henry mainly speaks in short bursts, and fairly fragmented sentences. This is why public speaking is his least favorite class.

Psychology: While he cares little for most people's opinions, he finds the minds of people very interesting. Since he does not understand most emotions, he instead relies on using psychological techniques in order to communicate and become friends with others.

Personality: Well-mannered, if a bit cold, Henry is analytical and precise in his decision making. He possesses very high degrees of intellect, despite the fact that his brain is divided among many small insects, and is incredibly skilled at direct thinking, logical conclusions, and complex calculations. While his intellect is impressive considering his circumstances, his ego easily causes this to become an annoyance rather than a benefit - Henry views himself as the closest an organism can be to perfect, since he is the combination of a swarm of lesser creatures. While this is far from true, Henry believes it vehemently, and trying to argue this with him is one of the few ways to make him angry.

Henry cares very little for ethics and moral difficulties, a trait he copied from his father. While this doesn't mean he will go around committing murder and theft, he is less likely to help people simply because it is the right thing to do. Another trait adopted from his parents, this time his mother, is his intense focus on efficiency. Henry hates people who are lazy and choose to waste their time, as he sees this as a waste of energy, and an insult to animals that must work hard to survive. Upon finding a goal, he is single-minded and ruthless in obtaining it.

While he initially seems like someone who is difficult to deal with, Henry has several redeeming qualities. He is always willing to lend his notes and homework to other classmates, and is perfectly fine with them cheating off of him as well. His desire for efficiency is overpowered by his polite ad high-class upbringing, causing Henry to listen to others and change many things he does if it makes them feel more comfortable. While he lacks most ethics, promises are an integral part of his character, and he refuses to break them in any way. Finally, if others are willing to accommodate his rather strange life style and behavior, we will go to great lengths in order to do the same for them - making them feel comfortable, doing minor chores, giving them money, etc. As long as someone asks him for something, they have not slighted him before, and they are polite in doing so, Henry will usually submit and give them what they want.

Due to his difficulty speaking, Henry mainly speaks in short bursts, and fairly fragmented sentences. This is why public speaking is his least favorite class.
