[Recovering from the Independence Day incident wasn't easy. Crowe still had nightmares the last few days that, while fading now, were hard to shake. That feeling of being two people in one was unsettling, not knowing which was right.

At least his room has a lot of reminders of which Calleo was the right one. All his things from home, all the photos he's taken with is friends in Mayfield. Those notes from Lucas. That goofy hat Kay and Adolph found in the western town. The pendant from Norway. His extensive journal chronicling his time here, all the horrid events Mayfield has put him through. A journal he is now writing in, filling in the details of July Fourth, and the body of Jane Smith, also known as Samantha Achewood.

Once he's done, he'll place a call to the town. Filtered from the usual NPCs:]


Hi everyone. Um. I-I know it's been a difficult week, but we need to try to understand what happened. I think... I-I was wondering, maybe we should have some sort of town meeting? I know we have the pamphlets, but I think it would be good to get everyone together to discuss things that have happened in this town. Get everyone up to speed, let them know what we're dealing with, answer questions, share information... We're all in this together, right? Whether you want to go home or not, I-I think we can all agree that, at the very least, we'd like to get to the bottom of this place so that, um, e-even if we can't go home, we really can make this a decent place to live.

[Later, Crowe's out and about with his camera. He hasn't taken it up in awhile, and with this great summer weather, the town is crawling with people. He wants to clear his head, and take some fun pictures for the collection. His mission: to record the non-droned people in this town. He keeps a large photo album with names with people's names. It's a nice record of the people as they should be, before Mayfield brainwashes them. You might find him trying to snap some candid photos. Care to pose, or are you photo-shy? Crowe's a good climber, so you also might find him sitting in high tree branches, on your rooftop, at the peak of Makeout Point - anywhere he can get a cool shot. Come bug him!]

Oh... I think I understand...

It's all right, though. I'm used to audiences... You just, ah. Startled me, I suppose.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, if you'd like, I can bring your photo by once I get it developed. Um, I'm Crowe, by the way. Nice to meet you.

O-Oh, you don't have to do that...

Ah, my name is Ninian. [She bows her head and curtsies. So polite!] The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure.
volcanoes: (a burnt child keeps away from the fire)

[personal profile] volcanoes 2011-07-14 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
How bad?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. People die. Turn on each other. They mess with our heads.

[identity profile] inababanchou.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind, but I wouldn't want you to slip and hurt yourself. Capable or not, it's still dangerous.

You should try to get some pictures of it when its on fire.
volcanoes: (there seldom is a single wave)

[Well, that sounds unpleasant. He doesn't say anything, but looks worried.]

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I'm sorry. It's true though. You should know what you've been brought into.

...On fire?

[identity profile] inababanchou.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Nnn, it'd be a nice change of scenery to see chaos on this town instead of its people, for once.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-You shouldn't even joke about stuff like that, with this town the way it is.

[identity profile] inababanchou.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. Just being bitter.

[ He gives Crowe a grim smirk. ]

[identity profile] doctor-creep.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[A small smile crosses his face, and perhaps because of his nervous reaction, it shows off just the tips of what are almost indefinitely too-long canines. They disappear before too long, though.]

I don't mind too terribly. Standing your ground in spite of your natural inclination for flight - interesting. And healthy, by the looks of it. I'm Doctor Nusakan. It's a... pleasure to meet you.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[What was that supposed to mean?!]

I-I just wasn't sure if I... I thought I saw... [Oh, there was teeth, look at that.]

Backtagging for fun and profit! Feel free to ignore cause laaate.... ^^;

[identity profile] mercyasdeep.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pointing at the camera.]

What's that?

I've seen other people with similar things around here, but I'm still not sure what they're for.

no worries, i will backtag forever!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh. It's a camera. It takes photos. Um. L-Like the portraits in everyone's houses?

[Crowe's had to explain this to a lot of people, so it's nothing new.]

Yay~

[identity profile] mercyasdeep.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. So that's where those detailed little paintings come from.

[Examining the camera curiously.]

Would you mind showing me how it works?

Re: Yay~

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
AH, w-well, you see, inside is some film. Y-You point the camera at whatever you want to take a picture of, and h-hit this button. Once you've filled up the film, you get it developed on paper into photos. Um. That involves chemicals and what's called a dark room, but I'm not good on the specifics.

[identity profile] mercyasdeep.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That's amazing. How long does it take to get the finished portrait? And how many portraits can a 'film' hold?

[He kind of wishes that he had something like this back home. That way he could have had pictures of his family. It wasn't as if he could have pulled a painting off the wall when they were fleeing from Godwin's men.]

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Some rolls of film can hold 12, some 24. Ah, usually it's just a few days from dropping it off at the photo store until they're done. Where I'm from, I'm more used to some instant results...

[He fishes his iPhone out of his pocket, turns on the camera, snaps a photo and shows it to him.] There you are.

[Okay then, have a picture of the prince looking kind of confused.]

That's incredible! Is it magic?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles.] No, just technology quiet a few decades ahead of Mayfield. Mayfield is from the late 1950s, but I got here from 2010.

[identity profile] mercyasdeep.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[The Prince gives him an embarrassed smile.]

I'm not even from this world....

[And then finally remembers his manners]

I'm sorry, I didn't even introduce myself, did I? My name is Freyjadour. Freyjadour Falenas.

But, please, feel free to call me Frey.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
You're not the first person I've had to explain it to, don't worry.

Ah, I'm Crowe. Calleo Crowe. Nice to meet you.

[identity profile] mercyasdeep.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
This world is so different from mine, that sometimes I have a hard time adjusting.

It's nice to meet you as well, Crowe.
