[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?]

[Crowe cheerfully snaps some photos at his willing volunteer, until she hits the pole.]

O-Oh! Oh goodness... are you alright?!

[naicha]

<sub>[ She's wobbling a little and she has one hand on her forehead. Ow, what is that ringing... Ah, the photographer asked her something. Uh.

P-peace sign. ]</sub>

Miss Taiwan, are you sure you're …?

[Sorry Taiwan, it's another person who knew you in your former life here.]

[naicha]

Ah! _{[ She raises both of her hands. ]} You know me? Really? _{[ bites a nail as she ponders on this for a bit ]} Don't tell anyone about that, okay, Mister Photographer? It's our secret!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Sure, not a problem, but... o-of course I know you. We were just at the rec center the other day, and...

[He's hoping you didn't hit your head too hard there.]

[naicha]

_{[ She puts a finger on one temple and thinks really hard! ]} ... No, I don't think we did.

What's your name?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

W-we were going over tae kwon do basics... I was about to apologize for not being able to meet up the last few days, what with being locked up for Thanksgiving and all...


Um. I'm Crowe? Are you sure you're feeling alright?

[naicha]

_{[ Oh, taekwondo... Taekwondo... In light of recent events, yes, that is the magic word. ]}

That's fine, Crowe, I forgive you! But I won't the next time around, okay? Korea's not around, but we don't need him. I'll teach you everything I know. Let's show teacher what we've got! Aim for gold, uwooooh! _{[ fistpump! ]}

[He chuckles a bit.] Alright, then, sounds good. Is meeting there after dinnertime still alright with you then?

[naicha]

Okay! I just have one question.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure. What is it?

[naicha]

Where's the rec center!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, i-it's downtown? Fairly large, you can't miss it.

[He is so perplexed.],/i>

[naicha]

_{[ She scratches her cheek sheepishly. ]} I just got here, so you know... ah, thank you!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Still looking awfully confused.] What do you mean you just got here? Y-You've been here awhile, haven't you..?

[naicha]

Nope! I arrived a couple of days ago. It's hard to adjust, you know!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

But you were just--

[He pauses for a moment.] Did you... by chance, leave and come back...?

[naicha]

Yep, that's what they said. Nice to meet you!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh. You'd be surprised how often that happens. And you don't remember being here at all then, I take it.

Ah, w-well, you don't have to worry about the tae kwon do thing then, really. I don't want to impose.

[naicha]

_{[ She shakes her head! Nope, not a thing. ]} I'm trying to, though!

Ah, no, no! If it's something I planned to do, I wanna see it through. _{[ also it's taekwondo. which she should have a gold medal in right now okok. ]}

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're alright with it then. I'll warn you, I don't have any formal martial arts training, just what Jecht has taught me before Mayfield sent him home.

[Despite his mousy attitude, this kid looks like he'd be a good student at least. He's tall and althetic-looking.]

[naicha]

Everyone's better than Hong Kong, _{[ no she's exaggerating ]} so don't worry about it. Just leave it to me! I'll punch you into shape in no time!

_{[ She probably means something else. Oh well. ]}
