Plottage for Stuttering Stanley?

I'm happy with all of my characters thus far except for Elias. Plots have been elusive for some reason. He needs pretty much anything and everything. Friends, mentors, aggressors, enablers...I haven't got any one thing in mind, but if you have any ideas, that would be great. I'm open to whatever. I just don't know what to do with this depressed little Spaniard.

I think Chance and Elias would get on great. They both speak Spanish and they both have had a hand in the deaths of their asshole dads. And if that doesn't make them good candidates for being friends, then I'm sure I can think of some reason for them not to get along.

I think they would make great friends too, hence why I replied to your open thread. ^.^ I think Chance would remind Elias of his older brother, which is probably creepy, but hey. If Chance doesn't mind the stutter and the general lameness that is Elias, then friends it is.

*pushes Michael in forcibly*

These two would get along great- they're both nervous and lame, and had abusive fathers and protective older brothers. Elias, understandably, has trust issues, but Michael has a pretty non-threatening aura about him... so I think they'd hit it off well as friends. :DD What do you think?

OH! And they're bunkmates. XD

I'm thinking friends too. Their being bunkmates is definitely a way to get social interaction going, because otherwise they probably would just sit in their respective corners and try not to converse. xD I'm totally up for something.
