81 - Stage 3

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe pulled out the phone from the wall to keep him from spilling his secrets like the rest of the town. He was *full* of them, and he doesn't want them getting out, thanks.

And yet, he wanted to tell someone. He needed to talk to someone. So many people have told him he keeps things too bottled up, that he should talk about his problems...

No! He can't. He just can't. Something weird was going on. Hol got on the phone and told everyone he was a communist. It didn't make sense.

Housemates will find Crowe pacing about his room, a familiar worried expression on his face. He'll get stir-crazy after a bit, and head outside. But instead if usual warm greetings, Crowe will be trying to avoid everyone. Of curse, that won't stop people from trying to approach him, and he's too polite to turn anyone away harshly...

For the rest of the day, he'll be hiding high up in a tree at the park. And there he will stay for as long as he can.]

N-No, not yet, anyway. Riza's keeping an eye on him for now.

[ooeeooahah]

Call if you need help.

[ She frets for a moment, and then asks, ]

Crowe, are you all right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh why did you ask that.]

I-I am doing everything in my power to not suddenly explode out all my secrets to everyone. It's very... trying.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa gives him a hug, ]

I know. I'll go. Talk to me later, when this settles out.

No, wait, I-- [Hand over mouth now. He just nods instead.]

[ooeeooahah]

You remind me of one of my best friends in high school. He and I dated for a while, but... I catered the reception when he and his husband finally got to be legal. I-I know, too much information. But diving off into tangents helps sometimes.

I don't really think it would make me feel much better.

[ooeeooahah]

Come find me after to talk.

[ Ilsa gives him another quick hug, and takes off down the sidewalk. ]
