[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!]

[ooeeooahah]

I'm not sure here - at home it would have been an online meeting. Here, not everyone has access.

But since school is out, maybe the gymnasium?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That could work. I-I'm wondering how covert we should be keeping this, though...

[ooeeooahah]

Well, don't use the phones, if you can manage. You know, I've heard about a number of groups created by the aware people here, maybe networking through them would help.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

There are a few. I'm not fond of the idea of different groups, and I never have been, to be honest. But I guess at this point, I'll take what I can get to get this done.

[ooeeooahah]

I know, it's too easy for some information to get left, and some people just aren't joiners. But to stay under the radar, smaller groups are not noticed as much as every aware person in town converging on the school.

Look, I'm going to try to type up the notes I have at work when they want me to look busy, and see if I can get to the duplication machine. That way we've got a low-tech version available when the powers that be decide to take the things from home again.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That might be best, in the end. I'll work on this. Get everyone caught up to speed...

That would be great. Thanks a lot, Ilsa.

[ooeeooahah]

Let me know when I can help. Perhaps not over the phone, but stop by sometime.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Sure, I will.
