[1] It's not a fun day to wake up and find two of your housemates droned. Crowe leaves the house, not wanting to deal with them, only to find out later that 3 of his friends - Aaron, Kakyoin and Flay - are also droned.

To add insult to injury, he finds something in the mailbox with his name on it. It's a small manila envelope. There is only a photo inside, and he stares at it for a long while. It's a mugshot of him when he was 15, when he was caught trying to burglarize a museum in Italy. Considering his infamous last name in the crime world of his homeland, he was quickly booked and thrown in jail until his uncle helped get him out and cleared his name.

To anyone who approaches him, his expression is completely unreadable, blank. Crowe wasn't quite sure what Mayfield was trying to tell him with this one.

--

[2] Later, there's a motorcycle zipping through town at an unsafe speed. To anyone who knows Crowe, the bike is recognizable. To anyone else, the helmet covers his telltale hair color, and the sunglasses might make it harder to tell who's driving. But you better look out if you're crossing the street, or waiting in your car at that intersection - there's a Ducati coming up fast. A bit later, he'll be driving on the highway, looping through over and over and over again, getting as much speed as he can handle.

Eventually, he runs out of gas, and he simply hops off the bike and walks it back into town, towards home. Approach?

2 - after he runs out of gas?

[Ken was out on his own bike that day, but not going nearly at the insane speeds as Crowe was. He sees the kid and stops.]

Hey! Haven't seen you in a while.

[He gives Ken a small smile. Crowe looks exhausted at this point.] Hi, Ken. Ah, I've been a bit scarce lately. Sorry. How have you been?

[Mart'll approach while he's taking it back home.]

Dude!

That is a bitching motorcycle!

[Crowe chuckles quietly.] Thanks. It's pretty nice, yeah?

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet your ass it is!

...

Say, have we met?

[As in Mart joking about Crowe's shyness for being the lead in Wayside story]
wavewalker: (and that's how Anwell does his hair!)

2- on his way back to town

[ It's very possible that Ian saw him zipping around town, but now that that thing isn't moving at unsafe speeds, he hops down from whatever tree his was in to get a better look ]

Gods, that thing moves fast.

I believe so. At school. I'm Crowe.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok. I've been ok, what about you? [Ken is quite concerned about the boy, he knows the past while has been hard because of all the shit the town pulls.]

2; I'm assuming Crowe still has his helmet on?

[Silence still isn't sure how he feels about the events of the past couple weeks, or Nusakan's part in them - although he didn't take part himself at all. He's been flying around as much as his wings will allow, partly for pleasure but mostly to distract himself.

He's a little bemused when, from up high, he spots someone walking back from the highway. And he's a little too curious not to investigate...especially since his wings are tiring again and he needs to land anyway. He lands a few yards ahead of the person walking, folding his wings and tilting his head in an unspoken question. What happened?]

sure, for the moment anyway

[A person suddenly landing in front of Crowe surprises him, and he stops.]

O-Oh! Hi there. Um... ran out of gas.

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah!

Man, you're too nervous to be in a school play but you're brave enough to ride this thing.

I don't get it man.

2- walking back to town?

[identity profile] springtime4me.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[have a concerned Hitler.]

Crowe? Are you okay?

sure!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Crowe looks pretty tired by the time he's walked his bike back into town.]

Oh. H-Hey. Yeah, I'm okay. Just ran out of fuel. Myself and the bike.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He actually laughs a little at that.]

Ah, there's a difference between riding this thing, and performing in front of so many people, I-I guess.

Re: sure!

[identity profile] springtime4me.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
How do you go far enough to run out of fuel in a small town like this?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, hey Ian. Um, yeah, it does. It's great.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well. I-I was just sort of. Driving around everywhere. Like all day.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you know. School's out, so I'm, ah, looking for things to do.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. Hey, I'm starting up that soccer thing I had going last summer soon. Wanna help me out?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh that is much more constructive than driving around in a dangerous fashion. He nods.]

Yeah, that would be great! I never get a chance to play.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Great! There's a lot more people this year, so we'll probably get a few more people playing. I need all the help I can get.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, just let me know when, yeah? I guess I should practice, I've been a bit rusty....

[He sighs. I misses his old hobbies. At least he has his bike now.]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, you'll be the first to know. Ah, it's like riding a bike, you'll pick it back up again in a flash.

[Walking with him as he walks back, Teensy to his tall.]

Crowe.

[She says, as if that expresses everything.]

Highway

(The Sniper's at the gas station getting supplies when he hears a motorcycle zip by. Huh, didn't think anybody else would be on the road today.)
