[Crowe's been wondering if Mayfield's going to give him a break anytime soon. This have been so insane lately. After getting hit with the Ten-Year Bazooka, Crowe returned home to find that his older self had left a note behind. Crowe saw a lot in the future that surprised him, but already the memories were hazy. He remembers his friend Clyde was there though, and how happy he was to see a familiar face again. It was almost too much, getting brought back here. But after reading the note (and not to mention what was happening when he switched back), Crowe realized he can't leave Mayfield that easy. Not just because Mayfield won't let him out - he has more he needs to do here first.

One of the things that disturbed him the most, though, was the total lack of information on his lifelong friend Alucard. He didn't see him in the future. He didn't remember Clyde saying anything. The letter left for him didn't mention Al at all. It really worried him.

All in all, he had a lot to think about. It was time to get in gear again.]




[General call:]
So, a lot of people seemed affected by this... time-travel affliction? [He's not sure what else to call it.] I thought maybe at first this was another of Mayfield's pranks, but a lot of people are talking about a man with a bazooka. I-I don't know what a bazooka would have to do with this, but if that person, or anyone else who knows what's going on, could speak up, that would be helpful. D-Did anyone happen to talk to me while I was switched...?

[Being shot with a bazooka and then sent ten years into his future just did not make sense. At all. SOMEONE EXPLAIN.]

Ah, also, I was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to take on a student for combat training or martial arts? I recently lost my last instructor, and I'd like to keep up on it. I can't offer much in return I suppose, but I'll do what I can. Um, I suppose I wasn't working with any particular style, so I'm open to options. Thanks.

[Call filtered to: Kay Faraday and Zidane:]
Since Miss Armstrong seems... out of commission, I was wondering if the two of you were willing to get back to our old plans. We had made some good progress, I think, and I'd like to get back to work. Would you like to meet up sometime to discuss it?

[Action:]
[It's been brought to Crowe's attention that no one in his house really cooks no that it's completely drone-free again. So between school, his job and all his workouts, he'll be at the grocery store and the library. At the library he's going to try and instill the help of some girls to find him cook books, since the library doesn't really have those for the teen guys. At the store he'll be milling about, looking a bit lost, holding boxes of various things, trying to figure it all out. He's always had someone to cook for him in his life, and now he regrets never learning.]

[[Just indicate what you're responding to - call, library, etc., please! :D]]

I ran into you while you were switched. You two are thankfully really alike.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You did?! …Oh. Really?

[He's a bit disappointed. He was hoping he'd be cooler or something.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You were taller, which I kinda thought wasn't possible.

You were...god, how to explain this...more confident, but that probably comes with age.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Norway had said that too. I always wondered if I'd ever stop growing.

Oh, well… that's something I guess. I'm glad to hear it actually. I'm just really glad to find out that someday I get out of here.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Me too. I know when we permanently leave we go back to the same time we left, but it's still a good thought.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I've heard anyway. I… I wish we didn't forget the people I've met here though. While I hate Mayfield, I've made so many good friends here…

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Same...I've met so many awesome people here and learned so many new things.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-I suppose that's the trade-off though. If Mayfield sent us home tomorrow, we'd never know. But... I think deep down, we'd know we're missing something.

[Something in the note Crowe left for himself alluded to that feeling.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I ain't lookin' forward to that part, that's for sure.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You know, I... I apparently left myself a note before I switched back. And one of the things it said was to make sure that I do my best for my friends here before it's too late. I plan on doing just that.

[He's trying to put a positive spin back into this situation. Going home was great - forgetting everyone was not...]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Future you left a note? That's kinda exciting. [He also approves of the message]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was a bit weird to see, but... it seemed mostly like encouraging words. Ha, I said I didn't want to spoil anything on myself. I suppose that's probably for the best. [He chuckles.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, even if you don't remember when you go, it's still a bit of a spoiler.

I'm kinda disappointed now that it didn't happen to me.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure if you find the guy with the bazooka, he can help you out with that. [He laughs a little]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He laughs as well]

Ah, that'd be too much work. Besides, I got to see you all grown up and a lot of people as children.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That must have been so strange. There was a part in my note that mentioned one of my friends here who turned younger as well. Strange that it worked both ways like that. I don't really understand this whole thing, I have to admit.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Me neither. Stuff like this just makes me confused.
