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!]

No problem. Enjoy. Ah, I've been busy, I guess.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah? You're still in school right? Have they been loading you down with homework?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well school's not too bad. I just have... training and such. Martial arts, the shooting range, things like that.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Is that so huh? Well have fun with that! At least it'll give you something to do while we sort this place out.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I am. It's good to keep busy here. Being bored in Mayfield is the worst.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, boredom is the real killer here. [He grins at Crowe and gives him a playful tap on the shoulder.]

Makin' friends alright?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, I guess, yeah. [When they're no getting perma-droned, he thinks.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

That's good. Has everythin' been alright? There's been a lot of people coming and going.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, you know, I had some friends who are gone again, but, that happens, eh? That's the way it always goes.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's happened to me too, especially lately. [It hurt to know Aya was gone for good but at the same time...Aya was home. He could deal.]

I worry about you kiddo, you're too young for this kind of shit.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A few of my friends who've been here before have come back, but with no memory of being here. I'm not sure if that's better or worse...

You shouldn't. I'm okay. I-I've been here awhile after all, and I'm 17 now.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's better or worse either, it hasn't happened to me yet so yeah, dunno.

And 17 is still young. [Never mind he did some shady stuff when he was 17 but shh] And your my friend, I'm gonna worry 'bout you anyhow.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-It's happened a few times to me lately. But there's not much you can do about it, though. It'll just keep happening.

Ah, it doesn't feel so young, I think. [Hey, this kid pulled his first failed heist at 15, so he's not much better.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I know there isn't much I can do about it but...I can be here for ya. I don't think I'm goin' anywhere soon.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He smiles a little, but of course he's not convinced. How many other people have said that to him who were gone now?]

Thanks, Ken. I appreciate it.

You're welcome Crowe.
