I'll Be the One Storming the Castle

"Everyday is a new day, and I don't have to be pretend." Yo! The name's Bentley, I'm 18 years old and a Single. I like to ride my skateboard, eat and do crazy things that I probably shouldn't. If you ever want to hang out, just let me know.

[itsblair-emerson]

Sucks sometimes, I know. None one could blame you for that anyways. I probably would’ve screamed my heart out and attacked the person responsible. I once had a can of soda flying at me and ran off.

[bentley-rye]

It definitely does. I hate it. I wish there would have been harsher punishment, but I guess that just isn't going to happen. I almost screamed, but I managed to hold it in. I think I let out a startled yelp though. Why was a can of soda flying at you? 

[mays-dani]

I think you’d look adorable in a bubble suit. That just implyied a whole lot of things, Benny. But don’t worry, I’d feed you. I doubt that will ever happen unless we ban Cody from Scrabble. Which… I’m thinking of doing just for you. 

[bentley-rye]

You mean I don't look adorable all the time, Dani? I'm offended. Oh, some of those things would probably be a lot of fun, but I was more referring to the fact that if your mother caught me in your room she would kill me. We should do that then. Just for me? Dani, I feel so special. 

[jazzywyatt-deactivated20141030]

You’re okay though, right?

[bentley-rye]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken. I feel like I should go out and party now though, now that I've had a near death experience. 

[itsblair-emerson]

They should have gotten more then that if you ask me. Nope, you certainly do not get the displeasure of having your heart stop. Thank god for that.

[bentley-rye]

They probably should have, but I guess that's just the way that it works. I think that my heart actually did stop though. Like for a second because seeing something that huge swinging at your head is super scary. 

[itsblair-emerson]

I certainly hope they were fired for being such idiots. That’s terrifying but here is to you being alive and breathing and standing here. 

[bentley-rye]

I think they just got a demerit or something. Yes, I think I deserve a drink for this. To celebrate me being alive. You don't have a near death experience every day. 

[itsblair-emerson]

He was irresponsible, clearly. I’m glad you’re okay. I can only imagine, I would have been petrified.

[bentley-rye]

He was. Someone was supposed to be up there with him though, so they got in huge trouble too. It was really scary because the crane's like . . . twice my size. 

[julietjohnsons]

Sorry, did you say something?

[bentley-rye]

Yes, I was saying that you look tired. Long night? 

[itsblair-emerson]

Jeez, that sounds intense. Are you alright?

[bentley-rye]

It was super intense, but the guy on the crane was a newbie, just got his vocation two weeks ago, so he shouldn't have even been operating it in the first place. Yeah, I'm fine, I was just a little shaken up.

[mays-dani]

I’m buying you a bubble suite. That, or just locking you in my room for the rest of your life. Don’t get killed, okay? What did you see in the flash of life? 

[bentley-rye]

A bubble suite? That sounds really intriguing actually, and I think you locking me in your room for the rest of our lives would possibly be more dangerous than me continuing work. I won't get killed. People mostly. Though one specific memory of kicking everybody's ass at Scrabble one day. 

[cody-lawrence]

What? Oh my shit! Dude, that’s crazy. I’m scared for your life now. I’m gonna lock you in my closet and never let you come out so you won’t have any near death experiences. What would I do without my bro?

[bentley-rye]

What? No! No locking in closets! There's no food in there! You'd have to feed me and give me company regularly. Not to mention your clothes better be really comfortable if I'm going to be sleeping on them. Your life would be much duller, that's for sure. 

[bentley-rye]

So today at work, I was down on the ground working with the saw to make some benches when all of the sudden, I hear 'DUCK!' and turn around just in time to avoid a crane narrowly missing my head. Your life does flash before your eyes before you die by the way. Or almost die.

Video Diary Week #1

Bentley Rye || It's All Good || 3 September 2014

1. Does your character have a nickname? Who gave it to them? What’s the story behind their nickname?

Uhhh . . . Cody likes to call him, Dani and me the Golden Trio, and Dani calls me Benny most of the time. We're the golden trio because we're awesome and always together, and I don't know why Dani calls me Benny other than it's close to my name. I don't mind though.

2. What physical scars does your character have? What are the stories behind them?

I have one scar on my leg from when I fell down skateboarding. Yeah, I got in huge trouble with the Officials for that. 

3. Who is your character’s best friend? Why are they so close? Is there anybody your character wishes they could be closer with?

That's totally Cody. Well, Dani too, but . . . I don't really consider her just a "friend" you know? So I don't know if she counts, but I feel close to her in some ways I could never feel toward Cody, so it's a tie. I feel like I could tell them anything, and they always have my back no matter what. They're both just amazing people. Well, uh, I wouldn't mind getting to know Kim a bit better since we're matched and all . . . 

4. Where does your character go when they’re angry? What do they do? 

I tend to kinda shut myself off when I get mad. I'll just lock myself up in my room and usually just think. Which isn't always the best idea I guess.

5. What is your character’s biggest fear? Have they told anyone this fear, and will they ever?

Losing Dani or Cody. Especially Dani though because she's more . . . involved in stuff that could get her hurt. Uh, no, she knows I'd be lost without her though. I'd be lost without both of them honestly. 

[julietjohnsons]

I’m not too sure yet. I just enjoy doing things, moving around and whatnot so it should be good, yeah.

[bentley-rye]

Oh yeah, if you're into stuff like that, you should definitely like that then. There seems to be a lot of moving around in that job.

[kingaddinelloforilion]

Probably, it would awkward if someone thought you ‘the great Supersneak’ were named Bentley.

[bentley-rye]

I know right? The name Bentley just doesn't fit with Supersneak I don't think. Bentley just doesn't sound like the name Supersneak. That might be a good thing though. They would never guess my true identity. 

[caseyxwilliams]

Evidently, I need to find some sort of hobby.

[bentley-rye]

You should find one. Hobbies are good to spend time with. 

[kingaddinelloforilion]

Supersneak it is then, forever sneaking up on the unsuspecting.

[bentley-rye]

Do you think I should make business cards? 

[cody-lawrence]

Some of them were kind of gross, but I took care of a lot of old people and they have some crazy stories. For sure. Better that than have you ignore it until it becomes infected because you’re stubborn and keep saying it’s not that bad. 

[bentley-rye]

Yeah, I'm really glad that I missed that. I don't think I could do that job, I'd probably throw up. Ooh, really? We should met up at lunch tomorrow, and you can tell me some of these crazy stories. Hey, usually it isn't that bad.
