[Smile, Mayfield, you're on camera!
Crowe's out and about on town with a spiffy new Canon camera that he bought with some of his savings as a paper boy. After learning that Seychelles was droned now - one of the friends he's had in Mayfield the longest, and his partner in crime in the blitzball team - and that it was looking permanent, he decided to pass on practice today to try teach himself how to use this thing. He's used to digital cameras and cell phones from 2010, not these old things. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but he thinks he's getting the hang of it. As long as he keeps his fingers out of the way of the lens, that is. He's mostly in the park, but he can be found all over town taking photos of people and places that look interesting. He'll definitely stop any of his friends and ask if he can snap a shot of you, as well as any willing volunteers. Strike a pose for him?
Later in the day, despite the on-coming cold of winter, Crowe's still hanging out at the park. His schoolbag is full of books and papers, but he's currently writing in what looks to be a journal or ledger. He often stops, looking lost in thought, or as if he's trying to remember something. He'll shake his head to clear and get back to work. Care to interrupt?]

Well, I can show you around then too. The residential streets get confusing since they all look the same. It's best to just keep an eye on the street signs. Downtown as a bit more variation at least.
no subject
Thanks. I think I'll get used to the layout eventually, just the looping streets are going to drive me insane."

So how do you cope with, well, all of this?"
no subject
[That's a tough question. He thinks on it a moment.]
Ah, well... I keep busy, mostly. Try not to think about this crazy town and the things it does. I have a job, school, sports, combat training, and more friends here than I ever did back home... a lot of people say they're bored here, but I feel like I barely have time to rest. I... I think I prefer it that way, though.
no subject
Combat training? Is that normal for around here?"
no subject
Ah, well... to tell the truth, a lot of bad things happen around here. And that whole lack of magical powers thing I mentioned? Since I do, I try to make up for it in other ways. I... I don't know if it does me much good, but I don't plan on giving up.
no subject
Do they have like a Karate class? I'm not much of a fighter either, I'm used to running. But if the streets loop I don't think I am getting far."
[[He does seem a tad embarrassed about that running thing, though it was true.]]

Oh, if you camera ever gets damaged let me know. I can't do much but I am decent with basic fixes to things."
