[Part one! Voice:

Crowe will be making a call filtered to those on the blitzball team.]

Well, we did pretty well at the bake sale thankfully. We have some money to put towards getting everyone uniforms now. Coach had a few made for us awhile ago, so we'll base the rest on those.

Ah... although it seems Coach is gone for good, I know that he'd want us to keep playing. Imagine how mad he'd be if we all stopped, eh? [A sad chuckle.] So, practice will resume as normal. Some of us, like Seychelles and myself, have been playing for awhile, so we can handle coaching for now, I suppose... Anyway, I hope to see you all after school as usual.


[Part two! Action:

Like many folks today, Crowe is a victim of the 10-Year Bazooka. Let it be known that walking up behind Lambo and trying to get his attention is a bad move. An explosion and a puff of smoke later, Crowe has been replaced with his 26-year-old self for the next few hours.

He'll be wondering how in the world he got back to this god-awful place, and is dreading that it might be for good. His memory is a bit fuzzy but it's coming back to him as he strolls through town. While it's still unmistakably Crowe, he's even taller and broader now, with shorter hair and less formal clothes. Looks a little like this, really. Feel free to approach him as he walks around trying to not be horrified, muttering to himself in Italian of all things.]

Wow...first Nagi gets younger by ten years and now you're all grown up! Did you go home and then come back?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

This happened to someone else too? Weird… must be another one of Mayfield's pranks I suppose. I wonder how long this will last.

Yes, I was home. But the details are fuzzy. It was like I didn't remember this place until I showed up again.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Huh. That's good to know. [Good to know that people won't remember how traumatizing this place, bad in that he wouldn't remember the good times here either.]

Well, I'd say welcome back but this place kinda sucks.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. But this isn't the usual return I remember people getting. I just appeared on the street, not in a house. So I'm not really sure what is happening. That's why I think it's some kind of trick Mayfield is pulling…

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You have a point. None of Nagi's stuff disappeared either when we found 5 year old him.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Good to know. I haven't made it back to my old house yet. I think it was on… Williams Street? I wonder if this has been happening to other people too, not just myself and Nagi.

It's good to see you, though, Ken. It feels like I just saw you yesterday, but it's been years… it's funny how Mayfield works.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You did see me yesterday. Well, younger you. And yeah I think that's where your house is. Maybe this whole age fuckery is just temporary.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

It pretty much feels like yesterday. This is just really damn weird. I was hoping that too. You never know with this place though. They might keep me, or they might send me home entirely.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Who knows. I hope you get to go home. Not that I don't like you, but every escape from this place is a win.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He laughs] I get you. Thanks. If they're going to keep me, I hope they don't still want me to go to school. That'd just be weird.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Haha, hell no, you're too old for that. They'd just probably marry you off and find you a job.

Hehe, I wonder who the lucky lady is.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He laughs again.] Oh God, I don't even want to think about that! A wife and some boring job... Mayfield doesn't need another working stiff. They're better off sending me home!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Exactly! [He smiles at Crowe approvingly]

You're a lot more sure of yourself now aren't you.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, I guess so. Guess a lot of us go through awkward teenage phases, yeah?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah tell me about it. I'm glad though. You've grown up really well.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Hmm, well I haven't seen my name on any of these mail boxes, so I'm starting to wonder…

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's really weird. Maybe you're still back at your old house.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But if that's the case, either they're still counting me as a kid, or Hol is gone.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Who the hell knows. I don't get this place.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Me either. Is a little consistency hard to ask for?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Hahah, I guess so. We'd just get complacent and you know, maybe actually figure out a way home.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I suppose so, eh?

[Well, it looks like 1247 Williams still proudly sports the "Horse" last name.

Yep. Horse.]

Hmm. Guess that answers that question.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Huh. I wonder what's going on.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He scratches the back of his head.] I'm really not sure now. This has got to be some kind of Mayfield prank, I'm sure of that now.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well duh, isn't everything? I guess we'll just have to wait this one out.
