[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!]

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

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

[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!

[The best.]

It's fine...but really, what are you doing on the roof?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
U-Um. Just taking some photos. You, uh, can see the shops from up here really well, a-and...

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to come down from there! It's probably easier to talk and you look like you might fall!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm good, I just...

[Oh, alright. He feels silly yelling. With a few easy moves, Crowe is back down on the ground.]

Ah..... Hi.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hi!

Mind back to normal now?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[A small smile.] As far as I know. How are you feeling?

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Better then ever. I can remember the Wasteland now.

...which you know comes with it's own ups and downs.

[Sob...why does she have to remember deathclaws. The world was a happier place when it didn't have deathclaws in it.]

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I guess so, yeah? But you're yourself again, that's what's important.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's true.

I've been meaning to ask someone ...I thought we were supposed to get things back after the town went crazy? Did they stop doing that or something?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, not always. Usually, though. It might be soon, if it is.


... Or maybe all of this is unplanned. Or it isn't over.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderful.

Ah, with my luck I'd get something stupid. ....like my bobby pin collection or something.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, that's the exact sort of thing they tend to do, too.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Knew it. I've already got a lot of them here. Haven't tried them out yet. But they should work if I need them.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still amazed they're finding things to send me after how long I've been here.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? What sort of things do you get back?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, for example, they sent me a motorcycle around the end of January. My father always promised me I'd get one for my seventeenth birthday. But I turned seventeen while here in Mayfield. But it showed up right around my birthday. I was glad to see it, but it's really strange...

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Motorcycle?

Oh, I've seen some remains of those before! The gas tanks are like 20 caps a piece if you tell them to the right places.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
If you stop by my house sometime, I can show you it. I just got it back from the shop too, so it looks better than ever.

[identity profile] littlemiss101.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd be great. I've never seen one actually work before.

[She'll try not to steal your gas tank either.]
