[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]]

No problem! Where shall we meet? My house, again?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That should be fine. I figure it's best to not get into too many details over the phone, after all. But I believe we should get ready to move, yeah? Before something else happens around here...

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was thinking. I'll meet you guys at my house. [OOC: Shall we use this post or start a log?]

WHO WAS FONE.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure, I don't mind. Let's talk about it in person, though, yeah?

[pinkplumblossom.livejournal.com]

I could show you taekwondo if you're interested. I actually just lost my instructor too, but I decided I'd keep teaching it in her place.

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

I've not really had the chance to look into it, but apparently I was affected.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Apparently a lot of people were.

[He won't mention yet how he left a note from himself and how it mentioned how it was Chouno's idea. It's such a weird situation.]

H-How strange. I wonder how many people talk to our... other selves.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Really? Tae kwon do? I've never tried that. Sure, I'd like to give it a shot, if that's alright.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Of course. Let's all meet up at Zidane's then, okay?

[[Tag belooooow!]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll talk to Kay and we'll meet up after school?

[[That's fine! I'm going to start a new tag for it below!]]

ACTION TAG POST ORDER FOR Crowe > Zidane > Kay

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Knock knock Zidane! Crowe and Kay have arrived.]

[pinkplumblossom.livejournal.com]

What style of martial arts were you learning before, if you don't mind my asking?

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

[So bizarre. His notes were mostly filled with complex scientific stuff that he'll take a while to understand. The only real personal thing was 'You are not a worm. You are a catterpillar.']

It's somewhat worrying. Other people might know more about our futures than we do.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . I think it was just exactly what it seems like. A gun that switches you with yourself from some other time. It was . . . a long time in the future for me.

[By now, this is nothing too out of the usual for Lucas.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I don't think it was a style, per se, just, ah... fighting.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, let's hope we didn't do anything embarrassing, eh? I heard about some of the things I did over the years while swapped, from my friend that was there, but... it's all fuzzy now. I can't really remember most of it.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A gun that... well Mayfield, you never crease to surprise me.

Yeah, me too. I remember some of the things while switched, but it seems like a dream or something. I'm having a hard time remembering it all.

[And the door opens] Hey, guys! Come on, in!

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

All I remember was...I think it was a laboratory.

But it does mean something-It means I wasn't dead.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I had an office... my own business. A detective agency, I think...

Oh! Chouno, that's right! Hey, that's great news!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Being able to see my friends and my dad again . . . That was amazing. Knowing we've got a future is enough.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh Lucas, you are wise beyond your years.]

I got to see one of my friends... we were working together, even then. I was never so glad to see someone in my life, honestly. Even if he was as confused as I was. But you're right. To know that someday we can make it out of here... that's enough to keep me going.

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

A detective, hm? I didn't know you were interested.

It's the best news I've ever had. [He actually laughs. And not ironically.] I get to live!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Eheh. I didn't even dare to say anything to them. I just hid and watched and . . . remembered.

But no matter what happens, we'll make it home again. Crowe . . . ! We'll get there.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

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