[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]]

It does stand for most other things, though...

It's the same movies at the regular theater too. [He frowns a bit. He's been in this town too long.] That's why I'm glad we have the blitzball team, at least. Something different and fun to do.

[He makes a tiny scoff, almost silent, at 'fun'. He hates Blitzball, but to hell is he quitting when it keeps his mind off all the other things he can hate.]

Speaking of different things, Jecht said you might like a new sparring partner.

Oh, he did? Mm, I suppose that's true. I've only been sparring with Jecht for... well, for months now. Trying against someone else would be a good learning experience.

[He resists an urge to kick Crowe in the head and start a fight right there. That would be hilarious.]

Mm, well, he's going to give me some training. I thought I'd tell you.

[He may be an uber-polite derp, but Jecht has whipped Crowe into shape very well. Chouno might get more than he bargained for!]

Cool. He's pretty good. I'm glad that he's been nice enough to teach me. I ah.... don't have any crazy powers or abilities like most others here, so I wanted to be able to at least defend myself...

[Not that it did a whole lot of good when things got really ugly. Not in this town.]

Date: 2010-10-29 10:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Mm. I don't either, so I suppose that will put us at a more level playing ground.

[He says 'more level' because Chouno is the Übermensch and knows it.]

Ah, good. I was put in the fighting tournament against a girl who used electricity powers... that was over pretty quick.

[He suppresses a shutter. Man, that stung.]

From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Well, that is unfair. Humans can't compete with superhumans, by definition.

[He shrugs a little.] They didn't break it up that way, I guess it would have been too hard. I-I knew I wouldn't win that contest anyway, not by any stretch. But I wanted to try.

From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
I guess it's more realisitic that way. Being in unwinnable situation is, anyway.

It's okay. I just have to train more, I suppose.

You really think it's just as simple as that?

[He doesn't sound mocking-just a little confused.]

Date: 2010-10-31 03:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
W-Well, it's not like I'm going to wake up one day and have super powers, so I have to do whatever I can to get stronger on my own… If I can think fast enough and move fast enough against people who do, I'll have a better chance.

A-ah, not that it matters against Mayfield in the end…

[No one in his house would have against the hazmats. Or anyone else in town, super powers or not.]

From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Hm.

Thinking about it, there isn't any point really. Even if you're weak enough that you die, you just come back. It's not even really a penalty.

[Says the person who really enjoyed dying.]

Date: 2010-10-31 07:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
[He clams up a bit at that.] We might come back, but… dying here is still pretty terrible. I-I've gone through it 3 times now, it doesn't exactly get any easier…

Date: 2010-10-31 07:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Mm.

[He's not sure he wants to say that it felt really good, when compared to dying the way he was before. Burning to death was refreshing.]

I suppose.

[Crowe's quiet now until the movie rolls to an end, which isn't long. He gets up off the hood of the car, and stretches.]

Well... unfortunately things like what just happened will keep happening here until we leave. I've been here since March, and things haven't gotten any better. It's up to us here to do something. I just wish I knew what.

Date: 2010-11-01 05:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
It makes me wonder...

[He elegantly lifts himself up, performing a short handstand before dropping off.]

If there is anything that can be done.

Date: 2010-11-01 06:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
[He grins a bit at that move. Pretty nice.]

We have to keep trying. It's tough, but... if you give up, you might as well be droned for good. I don't plan on letting that happen to myself. N-Not that I know what to do, but I'll have to fogire something out. I just want it to be sooner rather than later...

Date: 2010-11-01 06:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Hm.

Like I said-sometimes there are simply impossible situations that you cannot overcome. [He's leaning on the car, arms crossed, not looking at Crowe anymore.] It's more like resisting for the sake of something interesting to do.

Date: 2010-11-01 06:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Maybe... but that doesn't mean we should give up. I can't look at it any other way, or I might as well just become their pawn completely.

From: [identity profile] withmorelove.livejournal.com
Don't you think that simply trying to make things within this place better would be best?

Date: 2010-11-01 10:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Hmm. I never thought of it that way... While I'd of course much rather go home, if that's not possible... I could deal with that. Just have a normal town, without murder, brainwashing... wouldn't that be novel? [He chuckles and shakes his head.]
