[Norway had been droned for awhile now, and Crowe was fearing the worst. It wouldn't be the first time he'd been sent home, only to return *younger* than before. But today Crowe decided to try and confirm his suspicions. He skips school, and heads over to Norway's home, and climbs up the nearby tree to his bedroom window and sneaks in. He figures there's a better chance of the family being away at school and work in the morning, but he's confident in his skills that he's sure he'll go unnoticed.

He searches around for Norway's regains - that weird club, those strange clothes. But he finds nothing. His items have been sent home with him. What he does fine, though, is some of the things Crowe's given to him in his time here - the pocket watch, the necklace with the hand-made pendants, the calling cards from his Halloween escapades, photos. He scoops them all up into a shoe box, and vacates the house as silently as he entered.]


[Today Crowe can be found in two places:

A) If for some reason you're not at school or work early this afternoon, and hang around the closest thing Mayfield has to a foresty area, you'll come across Crowe sitting at the edge of Makeout Point, looking morose as he watches the town below. Next to him is a small box that he considered throwing over the peak in an effort to forget all the people Mayfield continues to bring into his life, only to take them away again. In the end he doesn't have the guts to do it, and sits there for a long time stewing in his own teenage angst. This is what he gets for being too attached to the people here, isn't it?

B) Later in the afternoon, Crowe returns home. All over the lawn of 1247 Williams is what looks like a makeshift obstacle course. Tires, some stolen road cones, wood shop sawhorses and various bits from his garage are placed carefully around the yard. Despite the cold weather, he's out there in his gym clothes, repeatedly running his course over and over again. Crowe's not good at many things, but being agile and fast is something he does very well. He leaps over things, over the sawhorses, hops in and out of the tires with great precision. Occasionally he trips up, cursing in Italian as he does, but for the most part does very well. He'll rearrange stuff to keep things interesting, and keeps at this project well into the night, despite looking exhausted and unhappy with his progress. Feel free to watch/question/join in, etc.!]

[Garviel, after his shift at work, watches Crowe run the obstacle course as he walks home. Nodding stern approval.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[It takes Crowe a moment when he sees Garvi to recognize him - was he always that big? But in the end, he simply returns the nod and goes back to work.]

"Training for something?"

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

...Life in Mayfield, I suppose.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking much the same myself. If you're up for it, I am getting a few fellow warriors and younger students and trying to get them all to train together for about a day or so, as of tomorrow. I'll be covering everything from ranged weapon tactics, to Evasion, and I'm bringing in an instructor for hand to hand combat. I'll handle the close combat weapons training myself."

[he smiles.]

"What I'm trying to say, young man, is if you'd like to come, I'd welcome you."

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe already participates in Germany's training, martial arts with Taiwan, gun practice with Sniper, sports and his own brand of training like this... hell, what's one more. He nods.]

Thank you, sir. I may do that.


....Um. I'm not trying to pry, but you weren't this tall the last time I saw you, were you?

Oh man, if Garviel knew that he'd totally try to recruit him.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"That's correct."

[B]ecause it's fun

[Ken's out for a walk in the early evening when he stumbles across this home made obstacle lawn.]

Heeeey! Crowe! Nice set up you got there! [He hops up on one of the tires to be annoying.]

[Makeout Point is Finland's favourite hangout in all of Mayfield (despite the silly name). He comes up to muse about everything and nothing or simply admire the scenery, if not some blend of the three. And, as fate would have it, today just happens to be one of those days.]

Crowe?

[His expression instantly falters.]

Wow . . . Are you training for something, Crowe?

[[Your neighbor is just watching. That course looks kinda fun though Crowe doesn't seem to be having fun.

Not really sure how to approach, so just leans on his crutches and watches.]]

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

[Your neighbor is watching you.]

Crowe's more badass than he looks. XD

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Well okay then. Normally curious Crowe would pursue with more questions, but he's not really in the mood today. He simply nods.]

...I see. If you'll excuse me, then. [He turns to go back to his course.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Um. Thank you.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe turns to see Finland, but he doesn't get up or react too much.]

....Hey.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe stops, wiping sweat from his forehead.]

Hi Lucas. Nothing in particular. Just... keeping in shape.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[It was fuin to start, but now he's getting tired. He's still going though. He sees Aaron, but all he does for now is nod in greeting, and keeps going.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe stops for a breather, and can tell he's being watched from somewhere. He spots Chizuko, and gives her a nod.]

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

That's quite the set up you've got going there. Training for the Olympics or something?

[There's a rustling of branches, and a soft thud as Aisling drops out of a nearby tree. Since this place is a bit more wild than the rest of the town, she likes to come up here sometimes.]

Crowe?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He smirks a little at that.] No. Just for life in Mayfield, really.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Nng. Crowe hates moping around kids, but he can't help it today.]

Hey, Aisling.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

How do you figure that?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

This place gets crazy sometimes. I think it's always best to be ready. Unlike most people in this town, I don't have magic or superpowers or whatever, so I'm trying to stay in shape.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

...yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe I should do the same. Never know when it'll come in handy.
