[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?]

[Walks by, totally blowing you off.]

;A;

Crowe! Wait!

[She jumps out of the bush and runs after him.]

[Keeps walking. His voice is dark.]

What do you want.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

...nothing. I was just saying hello. And I thought you would want to climb trees again.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

No. [Keeps on a-walkin']

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

[Keeps following him because she's a derpy little kid]

Why not? You don't want to? We can do something else, then.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

No. Leave me alone.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

...is something wrong?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

This whole town is what's wrong, that's what.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Well, this isn't a very nice place sometimes...

Did something happen? Why are you angry?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I finally realized that this town and everyone it is rotten and useless. I'm sick of all of it, that's what.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

That's not true! The town isn't nice, but there are lots of people who are. Even though some of them aren't...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

See, that's your problem. Just like I had. No, the people in this town are all useless. Bunch of selfish twits. Half of them are out of their minds, a bunch of psychopaths. You'd do best to stay away from all of them, like I plan to from now on.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

But...that can't be. I have lots of friends here now...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't bother with them. They... they're useless. And they'll only end up going home and leaving you behind in this rotten town.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

[This last part stops her dead in her tracks.]

Massimo...Massimo left. But he didn't do it on purpose. He didn't!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He stops too. Massimo getting droned hit him really hard, too. He clenches his fists.]

How do you know that? We won't know how anyone comes in or out of this town. That's why I'm going to figure out how to get out of here on my own. I don't need anyone else around.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

But we don't know how to leave. If I knew how, I would have gone home already.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Have you ever thought that the people who've left might know something we don't? There's no way of telling. Even if they come back, they don't remember what happened. You can't trust anything or anyone here.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

But how do they know, then?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

They... I-I don't know. But this whole town is just... suspect. I'm done with all of you.
