[Did you ever notice that the more you try to avoid something, the more it continues to show up in your face? That's the problem Crowe is having with the prom.

He's not really been in a socializing mood, not to mention he knows he'll never find a date. A lot of his friends already seemed paired off, even though the event was announced just this week. So naturally, because he doesn't want to go, it seems to be haunting him wherever he goes. You'll find him:

A) Politely trying to turn down a nerdy drone girl's offer of a date. Crowe is one of the few people in town who actually feels bad for drones, but there's no explaining to them that drones aren't allowed in to this event. Or that you'd rather not go with an brainwashed automaton. Or a girl. But that's beyond the point, really. While being gentle about it, the girl eventually starts to cry at the rejection before running off. Crowe looks beyond exasperated.

---

B) In the halls between classes, being followed by a recently-redroned BFF, who pleasantly chatters away, while Crowe looks like he'd rather be dumped in boiling oil.]


I think I'm going to ask Suzy to go! Boy, it'll sure be swell. I hope she says yes!

Yeah. Good luck.

What about you, Calleo? Have you asked anyone yet? What about Jeanie? I hear she likes you!

Maybe.

You better hurry up, before someone else asks her!

Okay.

[Someone, please rescue him.]

---

C) A drone art teacher has approached him now, asking if he'd like to be the official photographer for the dance. Never mind that Crowe doesn't want to go, or that drones aren't welcome to this particular festivity. The teacher prattles on about how Crowe has been improving a lot these last few months and that he knows what a good job he'd do. Crowe looks a bit confused, but mostly unimpressed. But maybe if his friends are going to insist on dragging him to the actual non-drone prom, then photography would be a good way to keep his mind off of being a dateless wonder.

You might find him practicing with his camera around school later, since he hasn't used it in a few weeks. He'll be snapping some candid shots. Smile for the camera?]

Ah, practicing. Been a few weeks since I've use my camera...

You any good? Maybe you can take some photos at the prom!

Um, not really, just a hobby. A newish sort of one. But, I was thinking about it. Practice makes perfect, yeah?

[Man is he getting sick of that question.]

N-No one.

You can't just go alone! That'd make you a loser!

[and then you would have to die]

I-I'm not going to find anyone to go with. Honestly I think people are really too worried about it.

From: [identity profile] notsaul.livejournal.com
You don't even need to find anyone to go with!

I'll do it for you.

[wow was that thunder and lightning just then]

No, really, it's fine. I-I don't need a date.

[First Kay, then Shana, now Annie. Crowe cannot escape. Good luck, ladies, finding someone to go with this guy.]

Don't worry, I'm, like, totally good at this! [well, except for that one time

we don't talk about that one time]

I-I really don't think anyone would be interested. [WHY CAN HE NOT CONVINCE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF THIS.]

Don't be so hard on yourself! There has to be someone! Maybe! Statistically!

...

Maybe.

[This is him conceeding.]

I-I'll, uh, probably be too busy at the dance taking photos anyway...

You can take pictures and get laid!

It can be done!

[He just gives her a helpless look.]

There's just no way of telling you no, is there.

W-Well, good luck. Um.


[A long uncomfortable pause.]


Don't bother asking any girls.

Dude. Dude.

[HAND ON HIS SHOULDER]

I know.

....

Is it really that obvious?

[He looks almost horrified. He's having flashbacks to his friend Minnie telling him the same thing.]

I just have a nose for this sort of thing, dude, don't sweat it. You're only about half as obvious as me!

[that may not be comforting to know]

Ah. W-Well... good luck finding someone. [Totally not convinced this will ever ever work.]
