A storm once passed through Manhattan and most definitely humbled how good the older newsies think they were with the youngsters.
Kloppman allowed them to stay for free this day as they certainly weren't going to be going out selling.
Ike started crying once the lightning began. Mike wasn't really sure what was happening, but Ike cried, thus setting him off too. Jack brought out some pencils and scrap paper and drew with them until they calmed down. These drawings are now hung up next to Jack's bed.
Splasher was actually very excited about the storm and stood in front of the window and watched the rain hit against the ground and would clap in excitement when lightning struck. Albert and Finch ended up watching with him just in case anything were to happen but were also clapping along with him and trying to match the kids' energy.
Elmer actually lasted pretty long without breaking down, though once the thunder began, he quickly ran to Race for comfort, who started telling him random stories until he fell asleep in his arms.
It was quite a stressful day for everybody, but they were looking forward to the headline the next day. Those papes would be being sold like they were giving them away.
finally kicked my art block so have some jack kelly spouting teenage boy nonsense at poor katherine as a treat ( what do you mean this isn't their post-world will know scene in a nutshell?? )
ohhhhgggKAY y'all
I have some personal albert hc's based on a character workshop today (very based off of other peoples Albert hc's)
- he has a mother and two younger sisters, his dad either walked out or died
- his mother is either sick or drunk so it's mostly up to him to provide for his family.
- his closest/only friends are the New York newsies. he's very apprehensive of katherine at first.
- he wears his newsie hat backwards (though we knew this)
- he's super hyper masc and stoic and cold to hide his insecurities about his feminine traits- he wants to go to culinary school and become a chef, and is also grappling with his sexuality and a crush on jack/race
- the abscencr of his father also played a hand in his demeanour and insecurities, he never really had a male role model to show him how to act.
- he has anger/emotional processing issues becuase if his mental health, sexuality and absent father. it's very rare to see him smile, and the only times he really does in the show is during numbers like kony.
- during his rare downtime while he's not selling papes or caring for his mum and sisters he likes to visit this one diner downtown. sometimes they give him food for free or just let him watch the process in the kitchen. they don't let him help because they'd have to pay him and also hes too dirty but it's his comfort place. he would never tell the other newsies. the line cook there is a gay guy and he and Albert talk a lot about everything that albert would never open up to anyone else about.
anyway yah! that's my albert! my silly guy!

We’ll find you Ashley.
Jack writes in a diary, but instead of titling it like others would with "Dear Diary" He directs each entry to a different Newsie. He finds it easier to let it all out if his mind thinks he's writing all this to somebody. His diary entries are really more like letters he'll never send.
Dear Racetrack,
We got some new kids today, Davey and his brother Les. Les thought I was pretty cool, Davey might take a little more convincing. They seem pretty sound though, they got parents and a flat, the whole nine yards, y'know?
Dear Jojo,
We're officially on strike against Pulitzer! That bastard raised the prices without even a word of warning to us and expect us to just go along with it? Yeah, well, have we got news for them, am I right?
Dear Crutchie,
This wasn't how today was supposed to end. I know we were warned this could go wrong, but I didn't think we'd be beaten that badly.
I feel like real shit knowing I didn't go down there and help him after all those times he helped me. My brothers been sent to the one place I swore to protect everybody from, and I just stood there. I'm so sorry Crutch.
Dear I'm sorry I let you down Davey.
