[Like a few other folks in town, something is up with Crowe. The usually bright paperboy, who chats pleasantly with everyone, is skulking about town looking downright volitile. Anyone who approaches him will be met with unusual hostility and bitter remarks.

He'll be still going about his usual business though. He'll show up to blitzball and combat practice with Jecht and his friends. He'll be absolutely ruthless today though, especially while fighting. Enjoy, Jecht!

Even after that, he can be found in the rec center, using the boxing equipment there, fiercely pummeling the practice bags. His fists, by this point, are raw and are starting to bleed. Occasionally, he stops and grabs his head, looking like he might be a bit dizzy. A small part of him is telling him that something is wrong, VERY wrong. But it's quickly quashed. This is the way he is now. The way he always should have been. Right?]

[Yeah, today's not a good day for anyone. Thanks to his parent's trade, he knows a fair amount about jewelry. As he passes by:]

Don't bother. That stuff is all rubbish. It's not worth anyone's money or time.

I'm with you there - who'd want to buy all this crap?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Certainly not me. It's not even worth breaking in for. These windows, even. They're no security at all. [Taps the glass.] It's wonderful how trusting Mayfield is of its residents. Or is it that it knows how it doesn't really matter?

Uh...[Looks around and whispers] I'm not sure you want to say that out loud, buddy.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Hmph. What do I care? What are they going to do, throw me in jail? Drone me? Whatever. The drones would laugh it all off anyway.

[Sheesh....what's up with this guy?]

Unfortunately, if jewelry is what you want, this town doesn't give you much of an option. But none of this nonsense is going to impress anyone.

[Casually] Don't worry - I think I'll pass. [Really doesn't like this guy's attitude. Still, if he goes on talking like this, some of the drones might get suspicious]
