[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?]

[Ruri walks by and sees the exchange, responding in her usual deadpan way]

"Calleo... Miss GLADoS wants to speak with you at the science club. But remember, she's failing any student that talks about the prom there."

O-Oh. Alright, thanks. Excuse me, Ren.

[HIS SAVIOR. Crowe hastily makes his way off while giving Ruri a nod in thanks.]

[She nods back and continues to the science club meeting, not really paying attention to Crowe]

[After the meeting, he'll approach her.]

Ah, thanks for that earlier. Sometimes you just can't get away...

"Its okay. I'm good at cutting drones off, and, the whole thing seems kind of stupid anyways."

[She shrugs a little]

"I mean, is there a point if its not going to last?"

You mean the prom? Ah, I don't know. It's just another distraction, really. This is actually the third one they've had since I've been here.

"It still seems like a waste. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but, romantic pairings here?"

[She trails off a bit]

"But, don't worry about distracting the drones. I don't usually lie, but they seem to be afraid of Miss GLADoS so its a good excuse to keep."

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
No, yeah, I-I mean you're right. People just get droned here, so...

[Someone's speaking from experience here.]

I-I can't blame them for that.

From: [identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com
"No, blaming them seems wrong as well. I'm sorry I can't give much more closure on the circumstance, but at least this will be over in a few weeks and with any luck, nothing will explode."

It's just prom. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing, really. I-I certainly won't ruin everyone else's fun though. I just really don't want to go.

"Well, you can hide here. Nobody much shows up unless they're working on a project."

Good to know. I'll probably go between here and the photo lab, maybe no one'll notice me.

"If they do, say you're on an errand for a teacher the students are afraid of."

Right. Thanks, Ruri.

[It catches Crowe off gaurd for a moment, but then he just grins and takes another photo.]

Say cheese.

"Good luck."

[Crowe smiles a little and snaps the shot.] Thanks.

[He relaxes.] You're in better spirits?

[He looks a bit sheepish at that, and shurgs a little.]

Ah, I guess so, yeah. How have you been?

From: [identity profile] zeppeli-cursed.livejournal.com
Slightly more alive than a few weeks ago. [Shrug!] Funny how this place makes you think. Are you going to the dance?

Date: 2011-04-14 04:47 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Same here.

A-Ah, I'm not sure. Maybe. [He doesn't look too sure.]

Date: 2011-04-14 04:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] zeppeli-cursed.livejournal.com
Maybe? No date yet?

O-Of course not. Mostly I just don't know if I'm up for a party yet.
