[The hazmats broke into Crowe's house again last night, burning and killing everyone inside. He thought his house would be safer, since they had already checked there and turned up nothing, already killing him once for no reason... but apparently he was wrong.

The next morning when he awakes, Crowe doesn't call anyone or go anywhere. Any other residents, guests, or visitors of 1247 Williams will find him in what's left of his room, sitting in a corner, knees to his chest. He doesn't know what else to say, or what to do. And there he will sit. Anyone is free to come by and try to talk to him.]

[If Ren makes it over to his place in one piece, Crowe will still be in his room, in that spot. He makes no plans to move.]

[Having woken up himself, Ash takes it upon himself to check on the others.]

Calleo! Are you okay!? Calleo!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't get up from his spot in his room, but quietly he responds.] Yeah.

[bestwishes]

Good. I... I tried... But I couldn't... They killed us all...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-I know. We all did. There's nothing we could have done. Nothing we can do...



Are you alright now?

[bestwishes]

Yeah. I'm fine. ... As least I managed to save Bulbasaur. At the end, I put him back in his ball before they could do anything to him...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He's not 100% sure what that means. But, he'll ask about that another time.]

Oh, good. That's something at least. Have you talked to Hol or Ema? [He thinks a moment.] Ah. Ema will awaken at her own house, I guess....

[bestwishes]

No, I haven't yet. I figure I'll have to check on Hol soon... If Ema's at her own house now though...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] You should. He should be awake by now, too.

[bestwishes]

You sure you're okay here?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He kind of clams up again. He just nods.]

_{[So, guess who risked his own life to sneak over to check on his buddy? The one knocking his knuckles on the frame of Crowe's bedroom door, that's who.]}

[He wasn't expecting to see Norway when he looked up. He looks a bit surprised.]

N-norway! You... y-you should have stayed inside, i-it's dangerous out there...

[bestwishes]

Okay... You want me to leave Bulbasaur with you while I check on Hol?

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

I avoided them, you.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head slowly, trying to smile again.]

Ah, no, you should keep him with you. I... I'm going to stay here so I should be alright...

[bestwishes]

... Fine. I'll be back to check on you again later though, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-ah. Good.

[Still just

sitting there.]

Your house... it's okay? They haven't come after you, right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I'll be fine. Just... stay safe, alright? Stay inside...

[bestwishes]

Right. Outside is still crawling with them. I'd rather not get myself killed again.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. I-I mean they've been in here twice now, they can't possibly be coming back....

[bestwishes]

At this point, I wouldn't put it past them? Still safer inside though.

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

It's fine.

_{[Taking a seat next to him, reaching over to pluck a speck of dirt from Crowe's shirt.]}

I'd have told you, the rest of the team, my brother, 'n Den-- ...I would've told you people if anything did happen.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] One way or another, a-all of this has to be over soon....
