So apparently when life gets rearranged and I earn free time I didn't think I'd have, I get impulsive. So here is Alyosha, the adorable cuddly spawn of the former Ace of Spades. Because that doesn't sound like a bad plan that sounds like a good plan.

Aleksei is a super new arrival to Spades, and is generally a charming normal 16-year-old boy from Outside who's been sent here to get trained up to be a Spade. More about him here, but clearly CR is going to be made shiny and new.

Yes. Just. Hi again.

And my RNG said there weren't picture. Just a name and a 'well he looks like he's your dad figure it the shit out.'

Holló would have known him as Julien, right?

[theacethatmatters]

/snerk

And yes. He dropped Julij right before he set foot on Deck.

[thepupthatmatters]

IT ALSO JUST OCCURRED TO ME that kiddo probably has an accent from growing up a bit in the boonies and only doing his most recent education in Budapest, where he might have had an l1 teacher. So Julien should feel free to be able to place that.

[theacethatmatters]

I don't know what l1 means but okay. This is a good point. o/

[thepupthatmatters]

So in language instruction, your mother/native/first language is l1, and the target language of a language class is usally l2.

And I understand now that this is not a shorthand for normal people. /o\

[theacethatmatters]

I got the gist at least! Go me! <3

[thepupthatmatters]

Because you the best. /o/

Also as far as the others go:

Yeah...I have a hard time seeing him interacting with Justin (except maybe Justin having a choking/laughing/choking fit when he finds out who Aleksei's daddy is). It would be interesting to see what he and Johnny make of each other.

And I suppose if there is going to be jealous Eileens in Aleksei's future....Elani will be also somehow? :|a

Also I don't know that he and Vincent will have anything to do with each other.

[thepupthatmatters]

One day, one of my characters will like and get along with Justin. One day.

I have no idea about Johnny. :|a

And Elani will at least definitely hear about "and Julien never has any time for me any more and Aleksei isn't even that good at things like not as good as me and he's not even that cute and BAH."

Probably not. o/

[theacethatmatters]

Suuuuuure

Me either. o/ Adventure!

Hee. She will quite tactfully not point out things like Aleksei hasn't had as much time to train as she has or that she protests too much about cuteness.

Also, I wonder how his mother reacted when he disappeared. If she ever finds out.

[thepupthatmatters]

...yeah probably not. Alas.

\o/

She needs to prepare herself for SUCH EYEROLLING. SUCH.

...hm. I'm not 100% on if she's alive or. At all caring, given she didn't come to claim custody when her parents passed.

[theacethatmatters]

She will be prepared!

Hmmm. Coinflipping time again? Either is possible/likely.

[thepupthatmatters]

As all adults dealing with teens must be.

Coin says she dead. Alas.
