[Crowe's getting sick of being depressed thanks to this town. Before he got here he was a bit more easy-going and pleasant. But since everything he's gone through here, he's become miserable, despite how he might act outwardly. Sure, he'll never stop being homesick, there's a murderer living in his house, and he spends every day getting his ass kicked by his combat trainer amongst everything else. But that doesn't mean that every once in awhile, Calleo Crowe can't have a good day!

Then suddenly that combat trainer gives him a week off and he has no idea what to do with himself. He remembers how mad Jecht was when Crowe asked for some time off, so it's a bit odd that Jecht would suddenly take off like that. Better not question it though.

So, what will Crowe be doing with vacation? Anything he damn well pleases. He really misses going on hikes and climbs and other outdoorsy things, and since Mayfield lacks wilderness he'll be spending almost all of his time at the park, as usual. Things he'll be up to:

- climbing up trees in the park. He was always good at climbing, and he's astounded by how much stronger he's gotten since he started his training. It's almost effortless. He'll be looking for the tallest trees in town to conquered. Maybe one's in your backyard.

- playing basketball. He's never really tried it, and he doesn't really know what he's doing. Considering how tall he his, he figures he should give it a try. By, he can't do much more than practice freethrows and jumpshots alone. He manages to actually jump up and dunk a few on occasion, looking pleased with himself. Care to join/mock/interrupt?

- hanging out at the library, doing his best to get books on detectives and investigation, both fiction and non-fiction. It's hard to find anything in the library since it tailors itself to each person's stereotype, so he'll be looking for help.

- ever the night owl, Crowe's out on the town after dark too. He usually doesn't stay at his own home, feeling way too uncomfortable to sleep there thanks to Mukuro and the droned Sniper. Mukuro was acting like a drone - like a very, very weird drone - but Crowe wasn't buying it. And Sniper trying to act like his dad was almost worse, somehow. So, Crowe will be camping out at the park. He's got himself a small tent, sleeping bag and lantern. His cat is curled up next to him on a pillow as he reads his library books.

- and of course, your papers are always delivered on a timely rate every morning!

During all of these though, he seems a bit distracted. He's got a lot on his mind lately and often drifts into thought. Sometimes the basketballs are thrown way over the hoop, or a newspaper hits your window. Or possibly you.


Feel free to bug him whenever!

[Guess who's also climbing trees in the park! And is currently at the top of a very tall one. Aisling loves to climb, though since she's still human she isn't quite as fast at it as she would like. Usually she's the only one climbing trees in the park, so she's surprised when she sees someone else climbing up.]

Who are you?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He wasn't expecting to see anyone up here either.]

Oh, I-I'm sorry. Didn't mean to startle you. Um. My name's Crowe.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

I'm Aisling. What are you doing up here?

[Secretly, she's impressed that he managed to make it this high up.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He's surprised by that as well. He looks down for a moment, then back to you.]


Ah, I'm climbing. Wanted to see how far I could get. Looks like I made it! You too, yeah?

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm the best at climbing. Do you climb often?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I do try to. Back home I did a lot, yeah. Not much to climb around here, I'm afraid. I didn't want to get rusty though.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Me neither. There's barely any trees here at all!

[pinkplumblossom.livejournal.com]

[Heads out back to relax under the banyan tree, only to see Crowe climbing up high in its branches.]

"Oh! Um... please be careful!"

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Erk. He was hoping to go unnoticed. His stealth skills are slipping lately.]

A-ah, I'm sorry. Don't worry, I am. I'm, uh, coming down anyway.

[starts making his way down, carefully]

[pinkplumblossom.livejournal.com]

[Watches quietly. She's actually more concerned for the well-being of the tree. Not to say that she isn't worried Crowe might fall and hurt himself, but... you know. Sentimentality and all, especially with the Netherlands droned.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Hops down. Crowe and tree no worse for wear. He looks a bit embarrassed for getting caught.]

S-sorry about that. It's a very lovely tree, there's no others in town like it. It's a... fig tree?

[pinkplumblossom.livejournal.com]

"Right! Good eye. I actually got this back a few months ago. It's one of my trees from home."

[Smiles as she looks up at its branches.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Really? They returned a tree to you? Never heard anything like that before.

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

_{[He's watching all this tree climbing in his back yard from the longship he managed to move to sit along side his house with some gauze over the side of his neck and his hand wrapped up.]}

Careful on that one branch, Crowe. It's weak.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, your tree is good but mostly he came by to take a look at the crazy boat that's been parked at your place lately.

H-he can't believe you spotted him too, geeeeez. Of course, as soon as you say that to him, the branch cracks a bit and he slips, but he manages to hold on.]

A-ah! _{Bloody hell...!}

S-sorry... [finds a steady branch and sits] Um. A-are you alright? Did you get hurt?

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

_{[If only there were a big enough body of water, man.]}

It's fine--And I just had a little accident.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] I hope so, then.

Ah, so, neat boat you have there, sir. The town return that to you? Exactly what did they think they think you could do with something like that here? It's impressive at any rate.

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

Just call me Norway.

I have no clue, but it's kind of nice to have it. Brings back memories from my younger days.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah? [Scratches his head, wondering how, exactly. Oh wait, Norway. Right.]

Too bad there's nowhere to sail it. The lack of outdoors here... it's making me feel almost claustrophobic lately.

[Looks skyward] Did you know you can't go up either? Massimo tried the other day... it's almost as if the sky is in a loop like the town.

[[CRASH INTO TREE]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh geez what not again

Crowe's not as with it as last time and you manage to knock the branches out from under him. He yelps in surprise as he plummets downward.]

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

[[AND MASSIMO SWINGS FROM THE THICKEST BRANCH WITH HIS LEGS AND CATCHES CROWE WITH ONE ARM]]

Crowe! Crowe, hold on!

[[and he feels really bad uwah]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Snag! It takes him a moment as he was pretty sure he was going to be hitting the ground, but you managed to catch him. He's pretty heavy though.]

A-ah! M-Massimo?! What just happened?!

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

[[He lowers Crowe down to the ground


and then falls on his own face.]]



Ow. I... really need to keep practicing flying.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Catching his breath. Holy crap.]

O-oh! A-are you alright?!
