I've been following the target for a week now, and I have some information for you all. Kay, Zidane, I can talk to you both at lunch or after school sometime. I can stop by sometime and speak to you in person, um, your Majesty.



[Action: Crowe's been in a miserable mood the last few days. If anyone inquires about it, he'll wave it off, though. But in an effort to cheer himself up - and to head off any shenanigans Mayfield has in store for the fourteeth - Crowe will be out on the town today handing out Valentine's gifts to everyone. He'll be walking around the downtown area shops and the park. Even if he doesn't know you, he'll pass one off to you with a smile and a "Happy Valentine's Day". It's just 4 small heart-shaped sugar cookies, wrapped in red cellophane. Enjoy your sweets, Mayfield!]

Just trying to spread some holiday cheer, really. Mayfield gets a little... hectic around holidays, so it's nice for people to enjoy themselves while they can.

[gandere]

Oh... well thank you. May I inquire as to what you mean about hectic around the holidays?

[And another gift to give to her sister.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah. You're new here, yeah? Mayfield likes to, um, do some unpredictable things sometimes, usually around holidays.

[gandere]

Is my novice manner really that obvious?

Unpredictable things? Do you have any examples?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, for Thanksgiving, for example, everyone got turkey dinners that were... poisoned, came to life, all sorts of things. O-On Christmas, people's Christmas wishes were granted in the most twisted of ways...

[gandere]

So holidays are a time to watch out for things. Thanks for the advice. I better make sure my sister doesn't get into any trouble. I'm sure she'll enjoy these too.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

It's not always holidays, but most of the time.

I hope so. Enjoy. Ah, I'm Crowe, by the way. Nice to meet you.

[gandere]

A continuous pattern like that is always something to be wary of. I really ought to try to get to learn more of this place's history while I am incapable of doing much else.

My name is Rin Tohsaka. It is a pleasure to meet you as well. Well, as much of a pleasure as being here can have.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, if you want sometime, I have some pamphlets.. as weird as that sounds, we hand them out to new people here, being that there's a lot to learn about Mayfield, it's a good primer. If you know a man named Dist, or a boy named Aaron, they have them too.

[gandere]

I was given one of those before by that rude librarian, but it seemed redundant and lacking in a lot of factual information. Yet, your words confirm what his texts say.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Actually, the events that are documented in it are true. I've been here for most of them.

[gandere]

Is that so? Could you offer any more proof other than your word to them? No offense, but this place is full of people who are of not proper mind.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

It's hard to offer physical proof. Things in Mayfield get fixed too fast. Hazmats burned down my house but it was back to normal in two days. I've been killed four times, but here I am in one piece. Other people might have clues from Westport or Maipole, but I'm not one of them, I'm afraid.

[gandere]

Things get fixed? Oh my.. you've died and returned to life?!

[Are you some kind of vampire or something?!]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

If you're here long enough, you'll see for yourself...

A-Ah. Yeah. No one stays dead here. You usually wake up the next day like nothing ever happened.

[gandere]

I hope I'm not here for that long. I really hope I'm not here long enough to die and come back to life either..

Like nothing ever happened though? Doesn't that seem like foul witchery?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I hope for your sake that you're not, either.

Of course. It's magic, or... something like it, I guess. Not really my field...

[gandere]

It doesn't sound like it would be pleasant. Regardless, such things cannot be explained by magecraft. It is impossible.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I don't know how they do it. But some of the people in charge here can... they can do a whole lot, really. I've seen the police chief appear from nowhere, teleport several yards onto a roof, take someone's weapon and drone them before that person had so much of a chance to speak to him.

[gandere]

Well, that isn't too out of the ordinary for magic. One can enhance their speed easily. I'm just not sure about the immortality aspect of it.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

There's others in this town who are well-versed in magic. You might want to ask around and see what they say.

[gandere]

I just might. You wouldn't happen to know any names, would you?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah... [He thinks. He has a hard time keeping track of who has what cool powers.]

Ask for a man named Wilhelm. He's pretty knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

[gandere]

Wilhelm. I'll keep that name noted then.

I take it by your replies though that you are not proficient in magic yourself?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Right. Sometimes I think I'm one of the only people in town without magic, or some sort of supernatural ability.
