[Even though he's going, AND he has a date, all this prom stuff is giving Crowe a bit of a headache. He still has some prep work though. So today you'll find Crowe:

A: Picking his suit up from Abel's house. He had to have it resized a bit, as he's grown since coming to Mayfield. He's looking it over, smiling, as he walks home. It's a gorgeous dark blue suit - a $1,500 tailored Armani one, to be exact, sent from home awhile ago. Such a spoiled rich kid. He stops in the men's clothing store too, to see if he can pick out a new shirt and tie to go with it, but he's not looking too hopeful.

B: Poking his head into the barber shop, looking really unsure about this. His hair is always long and in his face, though... maybe he should really get it cut. He's always worn it like this, though. Any hairstylists care to approach?

C: Looking through various shop windows, thinking hard. When it came to proms, guys would buy girls a corsage as a gift. But what happens when a guy is taking another guy? What's the protocol for this situation? Does he even need to get anything? Why isn't there a pamphlet for this sort of thing? He looks frustrated, sighing. Want to help him out?

D: Once he's done all that, it's time to relax and get his mind off of things. Everyone keeps telling him it's something he really needs to do. When his uncle Marco said he needed to de-stress, he'd always take Crowe fishing with him. There's a lack of lakes or ocean in Mayfield, so Crowe is sitting on the edge of the pond in the park. He's got a homemade pole and line, and he's got his feet in the water. His iPhone sits next to him, playing some music. For once, he looks like he's enjoying himself. Care to join?]

C - ((and is it cheating to decide we're in front of the florist's shop?))

[ooeeooahah]

[ At the frustrated sigh, Ilsa looks up from the map, on which she she's been taking notes. ]

Difficult decision?

nope, that works!

[He looks up, blinking. He was in deep thought here.]

O-Oh! Um. Ha, I suppose so, yeah.

[ooeeooahah]

[ She smiles, ] Prom or Mother's Day?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, prom. Mother's Day is coming up, yeah? My mother here is a drone again, has been for awhile... I suppose that means she'd be expecting something. I suppose I've got some time to worry about that, though.

[Kurt's in town looking for clothes as well. Or at least scoping out his options. He spots a familiar head of hair.]

Hey, Crowe--

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He was pondering over a tie display when Kurt approaches.]

Ah, hi Kurt. What's up?

[Minato is walking off that big meal at the diner, but his attention is caught by the sound of music.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

["Eight Days a Week" by the Beatles is playing. Crowe's humming along, staring off into space as he fishes.]

[doudemoe]

[He taps his foot along the beat. Kind of nice listening to a rock band that's not Elvis.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Coincidentally, there's some Elvis on that iPhone too. Crowe notices he has company now though.]

O-Oh. Hi there.

A: (Feel free to have abel tag in too if he likes)

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty nice suit.

[She comments, walking up and looking a bit flushed, like she's been overheated slightly. She's still wearing her winter clothes, silly girl.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks! Looks like I'll finally have a chance to wear it... Oh, are you alright?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I'm just a little hot, I'll be fine.

[oh god heat puns with a Flame Haze.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

If you insist. A-Ah, do you have something to wear to the dance yet? I'm glad that I had these sent from home...

[headedforhope]

[Well, she was going to sit on a bench or something with her book...but maybe some company wouldn't be so bad. So, approaching!]

Ah, hello. Mind if I join you?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh! Not at all. Have a seat.

[His iPhone is quietly playing some Rolling Stones.]

[headedforhope]

[WHAT IS YOUR SILLY WESTERN MUSIC

makes herself comfy beside him]

Is this too close?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

No, you're fine. It's not like you're going to scare away the fish.

[If Crowe happens past the florist a second time, he'll spot someone loitering away inside the store itself. Caesar's taken to leaning back against the store counter, an open book in hand.

He sure doesn't look like he works there, but no one else is in sight.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe is indeed coming back, trying to gather up courage to buy not one but two boutineers. Maybe he can say the other one is for his friend or something which he supposes is technically true and really do random flower store workers really care and if they're drones they should buy that story and--

Well if all he does is fret outside the store all day, he'll never get anywhere. Eventually he quietly walk in, and since Caesar is the only one around, he'll have to ask him.]

Um.

E-Excuse me?

[commentboxtroll]

[He looks up briefly from his book, but goes back to it once he realizes it isn't anyone he knows.]

The old lady isn't here.

[That's the answer Crowe gets. It's entirely unhelpful.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh. Um, thanks. Do you work here...?

[Crowe puruses over the selections, looking lost.]

[Chizuko is looking through shop windows too but for entirely different purposes. When she comes to the girl's dresses, she shuffles her feet, a little embarrassed. It's not that the idea sounds so terrible, but she is a naturally shy person.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He'll slid up behind her as she looks at the dresses, grinning slightly.]

Hmm, I think you might look nice in the red one, yeah?

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

[Chizuko whirls, pulling him around by his shirt, almost hurling him through the window, before stopping when she recognizes him and looking embarrassed.]

I'm sorry! I, ah...do you really think so?
