Hey everyone. I know how much the library here is useless, and a lot of people are looking for something to read. I don't have much, but I'm always willing to lend out the books I have. I got some novels from home returned awhile ago, and I've already read through them, more than once... All I ask is that they get returned to me in good shape, so other people can read them too. Um, they're mostly detective novels, as well. Ah, my name's Crowe and I'm at 1247 Williams if anyone cares to stop by.

--

[Action:

Spring is in the air, and Crowe can't help but be in a good mood, thanks to the warm weather and the end of the school year coming up. Prom wasn't a complete disaster either, and he skillfully managed not to make an embarrassment of himself during Mother's Day. Today Mayfield can find him:

A) On his porch with a pile of books next to him, in case anyone stopped by. He's reading one, sitting on the porch swing with his cat asleep in his lap.

B) At the flower shop. Crowe's always looking for new hobbies and is considering gardening since he never got the hang of cooking. But boys can't get gardening books at the library, so he has to wing it. He has no idea what he's going though, and is looking over flowers and plants, thinking. He will probably ask workers or other customers for help.

C) Windowshopping downtown. It might look innocent enough, but this thief is on the prowl. Problem is, none of the stores here have anything good, or even any security to speak of. Where's the challenge?

He does sit across from the bank for awhile though, watching people come in and out...]

Lucky you. It wasn't terrible I just... well over did it a bit.

Also, I asked someone out on a date.

For some reason I thought it was a good idea at the time.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I suppose it could be worse, in all fairness, but having the town mess with your mind is always unsettling.

O-Oh, that must have been... difficult.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I really don't know what got into my head.

She kept asking about foods I couldn't cook so I took her on a dinner date.

[[Sits down, he's venting.]]

You know what the worse part is?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He's fine with that.]

It went that far? Wow.

What?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He's fine with venting.]

It went that far? Wow.

What?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

The only two times I've actually gotten a date in Mayfield, not counting the blind one Kay set me up on, have ebeen when the town has brainwashed me.

[[Valentine's Day was worse though. By far.]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

...That's pretty rough. I-I'm not really doing much better, really.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Didn't work out with the guy from the prom?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah. [He blushes a bit, embarrassed.] I wouldn't say that, but it wasn't, ah, a serious date or anything. He was nice, though.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Hey, Crowe blushing. Aaron always does better when the other party is more confused or awkward than he is.]]

So you did have a good time. Good.

Man, if you are going to go out in a suit like that you kinda have to right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ha. I never get a chance to wear that. I always wondered why it got sent back to me, but I'm glad it did.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Man, you made most of us look like kids playing dress up.

Glad you got to use it.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to air it out again the next time we have a dance.

How did the prom go for you, then? Just because it was a blind date doesn't mean it couldn't be fun.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was fun. I'm glad Kay got to me.

Then I got drunk and turned into a coyote...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Blinkblink]

I... I must have missed that part. Um, I-I had a few too many myself, and Flay insisted on walking me home.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Really? Yeah, I'm sorry I kinda approached you while drunk.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-It's not a problem. Neither of us were thinking very clearly.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I think I learned my lesson the hard way.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

And now we know our lesson for next time: never touch the punch. Ever.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Also, going coyote in public is a bad idea.

Did I tell you I almost got adopted...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.] Did someone think you were a runaway stray?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, or a stray dog to take home as a pet... she picked me up before I knew what was happening and I was stuck.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Not like you could talk to them, I guess... You would have had to sneak out later. How did you get away?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'd be naked when I tried...

I got lucky. The other girl she tried to convince to let her take me home was a little more reasonable. She told the girl who grabbed me to let me go.
