[The phone fumbles a bit, and Crowe gives a tiny sigh before he speaks.]

I, uh... I-I... I don't know what happened with me this week but... to anyone I uh, may have offended, I deeply apologize. I wasn't myself. I-I mean that literally, _{I think}. I don't know what happened but I hope you'll all forgive me. _{I-It was like I was possessed or something...}

Wilhelm, Seychelles, Aisling, Margot, I-Iceland... ah, th-there was even some people I didn't even know. The blonde girl from the rec center, I know you were just trying to be nice. You all were. I'm very sorry. I understand if none of you wish to speak with me from now on, but I hope you can accept my apologies.

I... I'm just glad that I apparently decided to take out the aggression on myself, and not anyone else. [He looks down at his bandaged hand. They were both really busted up. He'd have to wait till they healed until he was going to help with all those breaking-and-entering plans he had.

There's a pause, one might have thought he had hung up or walked away, but then:]

A-and Ren. I... can't thank you enough. I-I owe you.

[Crowe will be scarce for a day or two, getting some much needed rest. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and his hands needed time to heal up. He still didn't like sticking at home too long, and he still had a paper route, so he'll be out and about at some point. And no matter what, he knew he still had to show up for combat practice. Have an utterly drained and not very with it Crowe to deal with, Jecht.]

You were possessed?! [Hasn't he heard this guy's voice before?]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

O-oh, ah, I-I don't know actually. But it was like… it was like all of a sudden I was back to myself. Ren, he… he thinks it was something like that. It sounds far-fetched to me but… I-I don't know. I know that no matter what, I would never act like that normally…something definitely strange had happened.

[ 'yeah right' was her first thought, but... ]

[tsundorapettan.livejournal.com]

[ ...damn it, you're making this difficult for her. ;3; ]

[ she'll just. be thinking. and thinking.

[ Jessica isn't normally forgiving, and at the same time she can't stay mad at him for too long. but what if it is all an act and a part of an elaborate plan- nah. he sounds so sincere. and he mentioned her directly, too. ]

[ ....hm.]

...It's okay! As long as ya won't do it again. You're gonna have to find some way to make up for it, though!

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

You were not yourself at the time.

Why do you fail to mention this?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet a moment as he tries to figure out hwo to answer that.]

I... I really don't know what happened. I certainly didn't feel like myself, but...

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

At the very least, you understood the lesson. Even I suffered from a loss of character and I never approached the Post Office.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Mr. Crane! I-- How have you been? I haven't heard from you in so long, I was worried...

I... I never went to the post office either, sir. I knew better than that. There was nothing they could offer me. I don't... I don't know what happened. It was like... something just caused my personality to completely flip, and all at once it...

[He stops, thinking. He's drawing some conclusions in his head, but it's all still so weird.]

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

... Aa, this happened to me as well.

[And it was scary as hell. B|]

Are you sure it was just you?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Well that's surprising.]

I-- I assumed so, but-- it did, really? But you're alright now? Can I ask what happened, exactly?

[hop-toit-udonge.livejournal.com]

Do you still need a check up, dear?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, Doctor... I-I may actually need your help. Though I think I'll be alright so long as I keep my hands bandaged. N-not that coach is going to let me get out of practice anyway...

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

From what Mister Hughes said, it sounds like you were infected, perhaps purposefully, with some sort of contagion~

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-Infected? I... oh God I-I feel better now, at least, so I think it's gone... right?

[Vimes can be found in front of his house as the newspaper comes through]

Morning, lad.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Morning, sir. [Not as enthusiastic as he was the last time you met. He looks exhausted, his hands bandaged.]

guess who else is paranoid today

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately for you, Ren, you're stalking a professional-thief-in-training. For awhile he goes about his paper route, walking today instead of biking, still looking worn out but a bit better than he was the other day. However, he can tell after a bit that he's being followed by someone. At one point he'll get ahead of you, and when you turn the corner, he's standing right there.

He looks agitated for a second until he sees who it is. Then he looks relieved.]

Hi there.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

Are you okay now?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, y-yes I am, thanks. I'm really sorry for treating you like that. You know normally I'd never...

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

You were acting strange before...are you alright now,then?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-I know, I'm very sorry. Yes, I'm alright now. I didn't mean any of those things I said.

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

'Took the aggression out on..?' Crowe, you didn't hurt yourself, did you?

I'm... I'm really glad you're feeling better.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

M-Margot! I-I'm really sorry about how I treated you... I really wasn't myself. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happened...

Ah, y-yeah, I'm alright.

Sorry this is so late ;u;

[puffinparadise.livejournal.com]

You're back to normal then?

no worries!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-ah, y-yes, I am. I, uh, I'm really very sorry talking to you like that, I didn't mean any of it. Honestly.
