[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!]

I would attend. This has been significant, and I need to know as much as possible about it to update my letter accordingly.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Exactly. The more people know, the better off we all are.

Out on the photo safari

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa is staring at her front lawn when she catches sight of Crowe out of the corner of her eye. As he raises the camera, she makes a small adjustment to the angle of her head just before he shoots the picture. ]

So, being a scary stalker or just out taking pictures?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He stops, and then smiles sheepishly.] N-No! This is just a hobby. Photo journal.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

I think that's a good idea.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I hope it's logistically possible, though.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

[....There is a kid, on her roof. Oh wait she knows this one.]

........What are you doing up there?!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[WAY TO STARTLE HIM. He wobbles a bit, but Crowe has fantastic balance.]

A-AH! Oh. S-Sorry! I-I didn't... I wasn't planning o-on being up here long!

phone

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

A wise idea as always, my friend.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Um. I'm still thinking about where we could do this. The park, maybe...?

Phone.

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't know who this is but-]

I agree. A meeting would be really useful.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah. Thank you. I-I just need to figure out how we can do it, where we could met, things like that. B-But it's good to know people are interested.

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Smart thinking.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

O-Oh. Thank you, sir. Though, I wonder if we can really get away with it.

[Out and About]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken sees Crowe out with his camera, and just to be a jerk, decides he's going to try and sneak up on the kid.]

HEY!

Re: [Out and About]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Usually it's harder to sneak up on him, but he's focusing his lens and lining up a shot.]

Ah!! O-Oh, Ken. You scared the life out of me. [He gives him a friendly little punch on the shoulder.]

[doctor-creep.livejournal.com]

[What's the best shot of a slightly mad doctor one can get? ... Oh, wait, never mind. Crowe won't be getting into Nusakan's basement to snap pictures. Ah well. The most likely shot he'll get is of Nusakan's walk home, seemingly absent-mindedly scribbling in his notepad and unaware of anyone else.

If not for his sickly skintone, odd jacket and something about the way he walked, he might even be mistaken for a drone, sometimes. Well, and the fact that as the camera focuses for another, better shot, red eyes stare, piercing, at the camera from beneath glinting glasses. His fangs are suddenly visible beneath pale lips as they curl upward into a frightening enough grin.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[That gives Crowe a start. His first instinct is to look down at the camera - but this isn't a modern camera with an LED screen. He'll have to wait to develop it to see if he really just saw what he just saw. He looks back up to Nusakan, eyes wide.]

[dragonlitany.livejournal.com]

[Here's a good photo op for you, Crowe: a dancer! Ninian is in her backyard, humming a sad little tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB_LPBHtisU) to herself and dancing along to it. It's especially warm out today, so she's careful to stay in the shade.

After a while, though, she gets the feeling that she's being watched. Being just a liiiittle paranoid, her steps come to a halt, and she glances around anxiously.]

Um...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Hey, that's pretty cool. Should look good in the photo album. Crowe's a shy one though, so when he gets caught, his face goes red.]

A-Ah. Um, hi. Sorry. I-I didn't mean to intrude.

[roadroller]

I still haven't seen that pamphlet. Do you think you could get me one before the meeting? I think it's time I stopped being in the dark about this stuff. ♪

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Of course. I can bring one to you now, or leave one in your mailbox tomorrow on my paper route.

[Mart is sitting on his front porch when he notices Crowe coming with a camera.]

Yo dude.

Whatsup?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, Mart. Hi there. Um, smile? [Shyly holds up the camera]

[volcanoes]

[Why is there someone in a tree with a camera? Watching.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Looking around, getting a photo of a bird in the tree before looking back down. Someone's watching.

Wait, is that...]

Iceland?

[shadowflashkick.livejournal.com]

Get down from there!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Eep! This guy sounds pissed.]

A-Ah, sorry. I-I wasn't...

[Oh, forget it. Crowe climbs down, sliding an jumping effortlessly. He looks apologetic.]

Sorry.

Phone

[viridian-knight.livejournal.com]

I think this sounds like a good idea. I'd attend.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm, ah, still trying to figure out how we can do this efficiently, and hopefully quietly so they don't drone us.

Candid photo funtimes~

[Here you go Crowe, the Prince of Falena is out for a walk. He makes pretty good eye candy.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Figfhregw. O-Oh goodness who is that

Crowe raises his camera. But what if he gets caught? Then he'll look like a creep! Maybe he can ask? But he doesn't know this person, would he really let him.

Augh.

Hey Prince, there's a guy across the street looking between you and his camera, biting his lip.]

[ KID, GET OFF MY LAWN/ROOFTOP DAT THREE BRANCH

which is to say that Japan comes home to seeing a guy sitting on a high tree branch, recognizes him and screams ]

C-crowe-kun, what are you doing?! That is dangerous!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[ACK! Well he we doing fine, and then you yelled at him, Japan. He wobbles a little on the branch, but grabs the tree trunk.]

O-Oh, Japan! I-It's fine, I'm okay!

[criticizes.livejournal.com]

[ Norway is doing what he does, examining the trees around Mayfield, so he notices a person in the branches pretty quickly.

Crowe might see a familiar face staring up at him. ]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe's looking through his lens, looking for a subject, when he comes across Norway.

Who is looking up at him. Who looks older again.

Crowe's heart pretty much skips a beat here.

The boy in the tree peering down at you, Norway, lowers the camera swiftly and looks like he's seeing a ghost. There's a pause.]

...Norway?

If you want to take a picture of Amelia, you could just ask.
