[Crowe manages to drag himself out of the house for school, but he's obviously just not all there mentally the next few days. He's zoning out in class, anyone who tries to talk to him might have to call his name two or three times till he hears you. He'll always do his best to put on a smile when you talk to him though, but it's a little forced.

He will be checking up on all his friends in school too, during lunch and between/after classes, making sure everyone is okay.

Getting killed twice in three days, and watching Ema, Hol, Ash and even little Pikachu get murdered by the hazmats in front of him is a hard thing to shake off. All he could do the day after was hide in his burnt-out room, so on top of all that, he was feeling somewhat ashamed of himself, and useless.

After school though, he has some calls to make.]

[Call filtered to: Ema Skye]
Ema... I just wanted to see how you were doing.


[Call filtered to: Wilhelm]
I heard your voice on that call the other day on that call... are you okay? Is it... alright if I speak with you about what happened?


[Call filtered to: Norway]
Ah, I'm going to hold you to what you said, you know. [A light chuckle.] They're playing some choice movies this weekend at the drive-in. I'm going to be there, if you care to join.


[Later that night, Crowe can be found at the drive-in, sitting on the hood of his not!family's car, bundled up in a blanket. The movie in question is Teenagers from Outer Space - pretty much the worst of the worst. As much as he was glad none of his friends from home were suffering through living in Mayfield, it made him miss his friend Clyde, who ate up bad movies like this. He would have loved this one. If you happen to be by the theater, feel free to join him.]


[[OOC - This mun is also going to the DC rally for the weekend! Tagging might be slow between Fri. night & Sun. night, sorry! ALSO, I will stop spamming entries with him after this, orz]]

[catching Crowe sometime during the LUNCH LINE]

Want to grab a table?

take two

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Ah, Shiki... sure. That'd be great. [He'll grab his food and come join you.]


Um. How did... did you make it through everything okay?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh yeah, I did fine. Hisui was probably worried a bit but we managed to do okay.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Good, good. I'm glad. [He's smiles a bit. He's relieved to hear that.

Unfortunately today, he's not really his conversational self, though.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

How about yourself?

[He called to Crowe after a class, but after he didn't respond-

Chouno throws a ball of paper at him.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Well that snaps him out of it. He better pay attention before Joshua starts puttingbows in his hair again when he's not looking.]

A-ah! Wha- oh, Chouno?

[Picks up ball of paper

looks at you]

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

[He looks at the ball of paper. Then to Crowe.]

...I wanted your attention.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just... tired. [Shakes his head a bit.] What's up?

[withmorelove.livejournal.com]

Jecht said Blitzball's cancelled today.

[He looks sort of awkard here, because this is way out of his comfort zone.]

I have no idea what to do instead. Any ideas?

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

You may speak.

[Filtered]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I... I want to keep notes. I've been here a long time. I've been here through Westport, the Soviet town, this... and I never did such a thing until now. I-I really think I should start. Then, i-if I ever get sent home, someone else might be able to find it...

Were you... involved in hiding Sergei? O-or did he just end up teleporting into the house...?

[Filtered]

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I was involved in hiding him, yes.

[Filtered]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[There's a lot he'd like to say right now. But his politeness is holding him back, as usual. There's a pause, and when he speaks again, his voice is a bit quieter, flatter.]

Did you... get any information from him? Or was he, ah, too far gone by that point?

[Filtered]

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

He was too far gone.

Say it, Calleo.

[Guess who's catching you after Biology class--Are you IN Biology?]

Crowe!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[N-no okay so maybe he had thought that was the chemistry class, but he was too embarrassed to leave once he figured this out. He just hid behind his textbook.]

A-ah. Hi, Kakyoin.

[zeppeli-cursed.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you were in Jotaro's class.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

.........I'm not.

[zeppeli-cursed.livejournal.com]

Ah. Wrong room?

...He's a good teacher, surprisingly.

s-so late ;;

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Ema takes a little while to reply; she's not sure what to say. She's failed at keeping him alive TWICE now, and he's worried about her?

Given, she's not feeling fine at all. But he doesn't need the extra stress.]

I'm alive; that's what matters. How are you holding up? Do you need anything now that the world has settled down?

no worries, posts don't go anywhere 8D

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, I-I'm good now. Best as to be expected, eh? Thanks, but... I'm fine.

Thanks for understanding!

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? I mean... [He died twice in a span of a few days. That can't be easy for him.]

I'm sorry, Crowe.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-It's... yeah, I'm alright. Ah, all we can do is move on, right? Mayfield's not going to change... w-we just need to accept what happens, and endure it.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Right.

It's just a lot to ask of anyone, especially people as you as you or--worse--Ash.

[There's a long pause.]

Did you still want to build that bunker?
