[Since the big April Fool's Day reveal, Crowe has been in a pretty rotten mood. Most of the time, he just goes to school, not really talking to anyone or paying attention, and going as far as to avoid people completely. During the whole debacle he was killed twice, and he shot two people as well - one of those being his "father" who had also gunned him down outside the highway diner. To make matters worse, our intrepid wannabe investigator pushed himself so hard to find clues or be of any help, and completely failed to find anything. On top of that, the whole thing was a ruse anyway, and now Crowe feels like there's nothing anyone can ever do to get ahead in this town. Clues and information cannot be trusted since Mayfield can so easily manipulate everyone in town. He feels more useless than ever.

Fine then, he thinks. If this is the case, he might as well stick to what he's good at, or at least what he knows. He doesn't consider him to be a good thief, but he's better at it than he thinks...]


[Crowe's up to a lot the next few days. You'll find him:

A) Skipping classes and curiously lingering in the lunch rooms and hallways of Mayfield High. He hasn't practiced pickpocketing in ages, and wants to get back into the habit. Although rusty, he's good at it. He'll be aiming for drones, students and teachers alike, but outright avoiding friends. He won't be going for anything too big, just watches, wallets, easily accessed jewelry, things like that. Of course, with all the new people incoming recently, he might not realize you're a drone, and today you might be missing something from your pocket or schoolbag.

After classes, he'll be out on a parkbench sorting through what he has, mostly looking uninterested in it... unless he happened to find something valuable or different. He's making no effort to hide this, either. Feel free to approach.

B) At the rec center, giving the boxing equipement one hell of a beating. Thanks to constant practice, he's actually getting pretty good, but he looks pretty exhausted. He uses a strange combination of tawkwondo moves and out and out vicious street brawling. Sparring partners, anyone?

C) Sitting up in a tree in the park, reading a novel. A white tomcat lounges with him. The trees are only budding, so he can be seen easily up there. Now that the weather's warming up again, this is where he spends any free time he manages to find. Occasionally he stops to look at and fiddle with a small metal pendant on a chain he's using as a bookmark. Strange for someone so young to look nostalgic, but that's the only way to describe the look he's giving it.

A little. After all, even the most peaceful must fight sometimes.

[He moves over to Crowe]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah... don't normally like this sort of thing either, but it's important around here, I think... plus it's not like I have much better to do.

[He does a few stretches as he talks.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

It's actually very good for both the body and mind. Let me know when you are ready.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods, taking a taekwondo stance.]

Ready as I'll ever be.

I have no idea what chaos' style is.. but he always attacks with his palm

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos shifts his position slightly, before moving to thrust his palm at Crowe]

it's cool~

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe is very fast, and blocks the attack with his outer forearm, and lands a blow to chaos's ribcage with the other. He's obviously not hitting hard - he doesn't want to hurt a friend.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos sort of nods at the blow, but is as quickly sending one of his hands upward as if to slam it into Crowe's nose. If the boy doesn't pull back, he'll stop his palm before impact and smile, otherwise he'll go with the flow.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe jumps back just in time, chaos's palm an inch from his nose.]

O-oi, that was close...

[He jumps back a few steps and gets back into stance.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have hit. [chaos as well shifts, this time waiting on Crowe to make the first move]
