[Today in the park, Crowe can be seeing leaping about trees! Well, sort of. He's climbing up and down them as fast as he can, timing himself as he does so with a stopwatch. He's pretty fluid, and after a few runs in one tree, he has it down to a matter of seconds. Once he accomplishes that, he moves on to the next one, doing the same. He looks exhausted, but pleased once he checks his times. He's breaking his old records.

Later, he'll be found practicing a tightrope walk. He's just using a regular rope tied between two trees for now, only a few feet off the ground. He does alright but he's new at this, and falls off a lot. Most of the time he manages to land on his feet, but he does slip on occasion. But he'll get back up and try, try again. Practice makes perfect.

Crowe's been a bit closed off from everyone lately, thanks to basically living at the park. And after the droning of three of his friends in a short amount of time - the hardest on him being Massimo's - he wonders if he should have listened to Ichobod's advice from many months back about not making too many friends here. It didn't make things any easier when this happened.

Of course, this doesn't mean he isn't free for talking/ridicule/question what the hell he's up to since he's in a public park.]

Has anyone given you the rundown of this place yet? It's... not very pleasant, despite how it looks.

Like I said, either is fine with me!

So I've heard. No worries, ev'ryone's explained ev'rythin' t'me. It's all fine and dandy.

[Nods.] Ah, good. Hopefully they put you in a house with some nice people, at least. Usually this place is pretty quiet, but everyone once in awhile... well, just be sure to keep on your toes.

Y'know a girl name Sion?

[[and TOES ARE FOR WEIRDOS]]

Can't say I do, sorry. I guess you live with her?

[Margot's out scouting out the park when she spots Crowe scrambling up and down the trees.

She just kinda of watches for a while, stupefied.]

Er. Crowe. What are you doing?

[identity profile] friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods. That does seem wise.]

Right. And then when you're good at it, you can get an elephant and some clowns and own your own circus!

That would be so fun!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[When he gets to the bottom, he stops, catching his breath.]

Oh, uh, hey Margot. Um. Practicing? Seeing how fast I can climb up and down. I've gotten a lot faster!

[identity profile] westerned.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She's somethin' else. Interestin' t'say th'least

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs.] Maybe! We'll have to see if we can find some elephants in town.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you could say that about a lot of the people here.

[identity profile] westerned.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yerself included?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Me? No, no. Compared to most people around here, I'm quite… unremarkable. It's not like I'm a… vampire or psychic or anything like that.

[identity profile] westerned.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Pfft, what you are don' change a dang thing, s'what'cha do with yerself. That's what's important, Calleo.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He reflects on this a moment, then gives you a small, sheepish smile.] I-I suppose so. Sometimes, with some of the people that are here, it's easy to feel… overwhelmed.

CAL-EE-YO. IMAGINE THAT WITH HIS ACCENT jflkgjasggd

Don' let 'em get to ya. Yer just as special as anyone else.

as if his name wasn't ridiculous enough

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles. We're starting to sound like an after-school special here.]

Right. Thanks.

lmfao

[[JUST LIKE IT WAS WITH MASSIMO?]]

Cheer up, kiddo!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Except with less cake.

He looks a bit embarrassed at that.]


S-sorry. I-I don't mean to complain or anything.

[identity profile] westerned.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[[That's true.]]

Nah, it's fine. I'd be complainin' too, if I felt inferior. 'Cept yer not allowed t'complain no more, since y'know y'ain't inferior.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Now he just laughs.]

Alright. I won't.

Y'okay?

tagging from my phone like a boss

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Crowe stands up, rubbing his back, but it's more his pride that hurt than anything else. He didn't know anyone was watching.]

Ah. Y-yeah, I'm ok, thanks. Still new at this.

[identity profile] teh-sword.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? Looked like that hurt...

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've done it a few times now. Bound to happen. Um. Hey, you're… Ren, right? You were… yelling from your window the other day.
