[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!]

[Ninian just blinks and stares for a moment, confused. A blush slowly creeps up on her face as she realizes that this boy has been watching her.]

H-Hello... ah... What are you doing, if I may ask?

Ah. Just. Photos. [He holds his camera up, shyly.] I-I keep a photo journal of Mayfield.

...Oh. Photos... like the pictures in the house, right?

[She doesn't really understand, but it seems innocent enough! So she shrugs and stretches her legs; now's a good enough time to take a break from her dancing, anyway.]

That's an interesting hobby.

Oh, yes, kind of like that. I, um, like to keep a record of people in Mayfield, since it changes so often...

Oh, that's right... People come and go a lot, don't they? [She frowns and plucks at her skirts awkwardly.] I've not been here long, myself, but one of the boys in the house has already been 'droned'... For good, I think.

Sadly, yes. I've been here a long time so I've seen a lot of them go in and out. I had only wished I had started this project sooner, so I could have gotten some of my friends who were droned long ago.

Ah... that must be difficult for you. I'm sorry.

But... that is a good idea. The pictures, I mean. Even if you never see your friends again, it must be nice to have something to remember them by...

It's okay, thanks. But that's why I started this project. Ah, I know I should have asked first, but sometimes it ruins the moment, I guess. I-I don't mean to come off as a creep or something.

[identity profile] dragonlitany.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I think I understand...

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

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.
