[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.

Yeah. I mean sure, super powers do exist where I'm from...[he makes a face at this thought, thinking of Schwartz] but still. This is fuckin' ridiculous.

That's why I just need to keep working. N-Not that it's helped all that much...

Practice is good, but just don't over do it. You'll be no good to anyone if you're an exhausted noodle.

[He is now imagining Crowe!Noodle and is laughing.]

I-I'll try not to. Ah, if you ever want to spar, let me know. I'm not great, but it's good for a change of pace.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well...[Well, what can be the harm in it. Ken does already spar against Miakis, but he'd have to take it easy he thinks on Crowe.]

Sure, I don't see why not.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Alright then. Another time, then? Now might not be the best idea for me...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah no. You look like you're about to keel over and lay like a log for a few hours.
