[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 makes me wonder...

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

If there is anything that can be done.

[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...

[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.

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.

Don't you think that simply trying to make things within this place better would be best?

[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.]
