A. not a literal child
[Not by age, anyway. When Noctis isn't on his shift at the petting zoo, he can be found out and around Riverview, usually with his nose in what appears to be a strategy guide for a Riverview-equivalent of the wildly popular!! (not really) board game Kingmaker. Nerds and children might be familiar with this game, but besides them: there's Noctis.B. actually a literal child; after June 14
Every so often during his intense study, he checks something on his phone, scoffs in disappointment, and looks at the book again. Occasionally he makes a note with a pencil. This is the most studying he's ever done in his life, for the record.
Eventually he'll stick a finger in the book to hold his page and flag down a passerby, complete stranger or not.]
Hey, can I ask you something? I need a second opinion for, uh, work stuff.
[it's fucking board games, he's full of it]
[Once 8-year-old Noctis has slipped cleverly away from the clutches of his various babysitters, he quickly realizes something very important: it's hard to make a daring escape in a wheelchair. Thankfully (uh, maybe) he doesn't need it for more than a slowly healing injury, so he makes the wisest choice an 8-year-old child could make:C. still a literal child; still after June 14
He just abandons it, because an empty wheelchair just sitting in a public space isn't a concern, or anything. The boy himself doesn't make it far—in fact, he's quite literally up a tree nearby. Not very high - he is tiny - but he sure did get up there.]
Whoa—this is higher than I thought. [genius]
[Other fun things kids do: make a lot of noise and a lot of mess. Noctis isn't as rowdy as plenty of 8-year-olds, certainaly, but he's bored and when you're a child stranded in a weird place with no friends to keep you busy, you make a lot of noise and mess.D. choose your own age-defying adventure
He appears to be playing with fireworks because he is literally playing with fireworks; little round ones that seem to go off not because he's also playing with matches, but just because they... go off after he tosses them high enough in the air. After a few he gets bored of just tossing them and takes to batting them higher and further with a giant, squeaky rubber mallet.
Surely this is not annoying.]
[hit me up via pm or @melodrama if you'd like a starter! Nocts of all ages available!!]

Whatcha doing up there?
no subject
Hiding from my keeper.
no subject
A keeper? What's that?
no subject
His name's Ignis and he's old now and thinks tomatoes turn people red.
no subject
[ Though. Did Riverview give Noctis a case worker already? That's fast. ]
A tree's not a good hiding place if your wheelchair is nearby though.
no subject
What am I supposed to do about that now? I can't push it from here.

What kind of game?
no subject
We could play hide and seek! Or go to the arcade. They have tons of games there.
no subject
There's an arcade? I want to see! [He'll start trying to climb down from here Right Now, that's how hype for games he is.]
no subject
[ Jon eyes the wheelchair before shrugging. ]
What about your keeper-person?
no subject
[He usually does, so...]
no subject
Well, I don't think it's too far anyway.
no subject
Okay— ow- let's go right now!
no subject
Has this place been okay for you so far?
no subject
I guess so. I wish my dad were here, but everyone else is being nice.
no subject
Maybe your dad will show up later?
no subject
Yeah, maybe. He'd probably make me do homework, though.
no subject
[ It's standard. ]
Still, at least he'll be spending time with you. And that's not bad, right?

Well, it depends on how long you're here for. I've been here for three months so they make me go.
