[Phone call, filtered from NPCs:]

Homecoming, eh? Amazing how fast the summer goes in this town... This was my second one here, too.

Ah, right. The purpose of this call. Um... does anyone out there teach piano? Outside of school, I mean. I-I think I need... tutoring I guess. Um, I don't know what I could offer in return. Maybe chores or something? Let me know.

[Action 1: Crowe is in the park, kicking a soccer ball around. There wasn't a whole lot of interest in blitzball, sadly, but he figured there would be more footballers around. Right now he's trying to juggle the ball with his knees, feet, shoulder and head. He's pretty good at it, having been practicing since he was a small child. Care to join or bug him?]



[Knock knock on the door. Crowe is standing on the porch, looking more fidgety and nervous than normal.]

Action!

[Watching soccer playing with curious interest.]

What are you doing?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe bounces the ball off his head, then catches it.] Ah... just juggling. It's pretty touch after awhile.

[pretty-bear.livejournal.com]

I thought juggling was done with three little balls...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, it is, but this is with a football. Like this. [He'll bounce it off his knee a few times, then to his head, then try to catch it with the arch of his foot. It bounces off though.]

Ah... well I'm a bit out of practice.

[pretty-bear.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, football! They play that at Sensei's school back home. I think they do it a little different from you though...

[Mart's just walking into the park when he sees Crowe playing Soccer.]

Yo Crowe!

Whatsup?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Hey, Mart. Head's up. [He knees the ball Mart's way.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart knees it back]

'S cool.

I didn't know you played sports.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ha, are you kidding? I never played on any teams before, but yeah. Back home, I was going to join the foo-- er, soccer team in the next school year. Or maybe the swim team.

[and have a sneak attack of someone stealing your ball]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you didn't] O-Oi! Ken! [Crowe laughs and chases after him. Way to get the drop on a thief.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken grins and tries to play keep away. Crowe will get it eventually, considering Ken was a goalie first, and forward when he got bored.]

Heya!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe's a fast one, so he'll put up a good fight before stealing it back.]

You really snuck up on me there!

[Well, it's Silence who opens the door, and he gives Crowe one of his characteristically warm smiles. He's looking better than he has in awhile today - largely because his left arm is very obviously back where it belongs. This comes with some dark implications, of course, but there isn't much point to fretting over past deaths in Mayfield, is there?

He steps back in a wordless invitation for Crowe to come in before the boy even has a word out of his mouth. It's fairly obvious he's welcome.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, hi! [Crowe steps in. He definitely notices Silence's arm, but doesn't want to say much about it. He didn't want to bring down the mood before he asked about Homecoming.] Feeling better, yeah? I-I, um... I just had a quick questions for you. If that's okay.

[mute-mystic.livejournal.com]

[Silence nods, his wings fluttering a bit in a lazy, contented sort of way. He seems pleased enough, in any case.

When Crowe mentions a question, he cants his head to the side a bit in an obviously querying manner, waiting to hear it.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe wrung his hands together nervously, barely aware he was doing it. Most of his concentration was on keeping his stammering down.]

Ah, two things, actually. A-And if you say no, it's okay, I-I won't hold it against you. Firstly, I was wondering if... If you'd be interested in attending Homecoming. Um. With me. It's a whole town-wide thing again, n-not just school kids, and no drones, but if you're not interested it's perfectly fine.

[He's also not really sure where to look during all of this. He stares mostly at his feet but then looks back to Silence when he's done, waiting on an answer.]

[heteropennae.livejournal.com]

A piano tutor? Maybe I can help...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Ahaha, I really need help with my music class...

[heteropennae.livejournal.com]

Herr Austria's class, correct?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, exactly. He's, um, pretty strict.

phone;

[kleinefurstin.livejournal.com]

Are you having trouble with Austria's teaching?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Um, yes, actually. I've never even taken any other music classes before in my life, so I feel like I'm over my head. And it's something I'd really like to learn. I-I don't think I'll be good, but I'm hoping I can at least catch up?

[kleinefurstin.livejournal.com]

He can be very strict and demanding when it comes to music, so it's understandable. If he knows that you're trying as hard as you can, he will appreciate it.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, well is is Austria, yeah? I can understand why then... I am trying, but when you've never so much as touched a piano, then have to construct a composition in ony a few weeks while the town i-is being attacked by zombies...
