[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!]

[ 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. ]

[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?

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Norway just looks expectant. This guy obviously knows him, but Norway doesn't recognize him, so he'll just wait for the other to talk. ]

[There's like a thousand thoughts going through his head. But Crowe is a pessimist so most of them are not good. Sadly, he's right.

He jumps down from the tree in a hurry.]
You... You're back again?

[ Sweden has told him that he was there before, and with this he assumes it's true. ]

'pparently. Ya know me?

[Crowe can't help it - he's an emotional kid. His face falls. He knew this was going to happen. He *knew* it.

He tries to cover it up, though. Maybe he's joking?]


Haha, a-ah, yeah. Y-You don't remember...?

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Not a thing. [ BLUNT FOREVER. If he saw Crowe's face fall, he didn't pay much mind to it. If the kid has something to say, he should say it!! ]

Oh.


I, ah, figured that... I-It's happened to a lot of friends of mine, s-so...

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
So ya know how to handle it.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh hey, have some honesty from Crowe.]

No. I don't. I-It keeps happening because I've been here so long, to so many of my friends, a-and...

A-Ah. Sorry. I-I'm a stranger to you now, so...

[He rubs the back of his neck and looks at his shoes. So awkward forever.]

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [ He does not understand this awkwardness. ] How'd we know each other?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He blushes a bit at that, but he keeps going.] ...W-We were friends. Pretty much from the time I got here. Y-You were here twice before, actually. Once about the same age you are now, I-I guess, and then you actually came back younger, which I-I had never seen before...

[They were very close. Best friends, in Norway's own words. He pauses before actually looking back up at him now.]

Um, my name's Crowe. Calleo Crowe.

Ah. Well, about the 15th century, I think.

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ He seems to think back on that for a moment. And because he's been gathering this info from people: ]

'n what year was it fer ya when ya came here?

[identity profile] criticizes.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Popular time. [ Seeing as Iceland and Sweden are from around then. Being from 1905 is hard. ]

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Is it? I-I've met a lot of people from a lot of different times, but there are some from around me....
