[Crowe's talents lie in being stealthy and sneaky. As much as he wants to leave his thieving ways behind him, he's also always glad to be able to use his skills for good. Not only is it good to keep them sharp, he liked doing it. It was fun. Exciting. An adrenaline rush!

After speaking with King Frederick, and his partners in crime Kay and Zidane, the next target of investigation in Mayfield was the Milkman. First move was to monitor his actions. After that, time to move on to the Dairy, which was always locked. The Milkman always seemed to just appear and disappear into thin air when doing his deliveries, so the first step was to see how he did what he did.

Crowe knew that this could be even more hazardous to his health (and his sanity) than the City Hall investigation. If the Milkman was really tied that closely with Lucy Smith, this could be real trouble, for everyone. But he knew this is what they needed to do. If they didn't move forward, keep trying to find answers, than they were as good as the drones placidly living their empty lives here. Something had to be done, and if it was up to him, so be it.

Starting Saturday, and going through the upcoming week, Crowe is up before dawn. No one will notice as no one should see him unless they were truly trying to. He stays hidden in shadows and around corners, behind trees and buildings, following the Milkman and his delivery route. He started when the Milkman approached his own street, Williams, and followed him from there, hopefully on to the Dairy once he was done his deliveries. He wouldn't approach or try to enter the building - not yet. More observation was needed. While incredibly stealthy, Crowe didn't have any powers or abilities to hide or protect himself like many others in town. He had nothing but his skills and wits to keep him hidden, and while Crowe was never the most confident of people, he was sure he could do this without being followed.

He hoped, anyway. If he got caught, Kay and Zidane might still be able to get away with it. That's why it was important to work independently this time around.]


[Action 2: this weekend during the afternoon:

Crowe's out and about with his camera again! So many new people have rolled into town, that he had a lot of catching up to do. After talking to Lucas about this project again, he realized how important it was to have something like a photo gallery He already had two rolls of film's worth of photos of his friends and acquaintances from around Mayfield, and planned to take as many more as he could. You'll find Crowe today snapping photos of passersby, or scenes at the park. He'll also be stopping his friends and anyone who doesn't look like a drone, to see if you'd like to pose for a picture for his collection! Occasionally he'll take out his recently regained iPhone and snap a photo with it. While he was glad to have it back, there also wasn't too much else he could do with it in Mayfield.

He'll also be wandering around the stores downtown, looking at some of the displays that are already up for Valentine's Day. It seemed like Christmas was just yesterday. Time moved fast in this town. He'll be lingering outside the windows of gift shops and the bakery, looking thoughtful. Feel free to bug him any time he's out!]

[Hears the sound of a picture being taken and turns his head.] Huh...?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives a sheepish little wave.] Ah, sorry. I suppose I should have asked first. [He shows you the camera.]

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if he's apologizing, then that's okay.] Oh, no, it's alright.

[A pause. His voice sounds familiar.] If I'm not mistaken, are you Crowe...?

[There's not too many Irish accents in town, so it tends to give him away.]

Ah, yes? Oh, you must be Lion, yeah? It's good to finally meet you face to face!

[Oh s-so pretty, he had no idea]

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! It's good to meet you in person as well. [A small bow, to be polite and all.]

May I ask why you're taking pictures?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been making a photo album of everyone in town. Since people come and go so fast, it's nice to have a record of them as they should be. I can get copies to anyone who might want one, too. You don't mind me adding you to it, right?

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[The remark about people coming and going makes Lion briefly think of Jessica. But no, Lion can't dwell on that.]

That sounds like a good idea. And no, I don't mind at all.

Great. Smile! [He'll holds up the camera and snaps another shot.]

2!

[Garvi will look at the little chap who just snapped a picture of him.]

"Yes?"

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holds still as Crowe takes the picture.] How was that?

Should be good! Thanks a lot. I can show you the photos sometime. I'm starting to get quite a collection.

i suppose compared to Garvi, anyone is a little chap

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holy huge dude, Batman. He hopes you're not mad.]

Ah. S-Sorry. I was just... taking photos.

"There is nothing to apologize for. So that's a pict-taker, is it? I knew a remembrancer like that once. Are you commissioned to record great deeds, or the like?"

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? I'd be happy to take a look at them sometime, then.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[...What.]

Um. It's just a hobby, I guess? I'm trying to take photos of all the people who come through town. The turn-around here can be fast, so it's nice to document them while I can.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Turnaround? I'm afraid I don't quite understand."

[Alma is just kind of... wandering around and exploring the town, but she'll pause and look at Crowe's camera curiously when she hears it go off. lol wat is technology]

Erm...?

You're taking a picture? Is this for a contest?

[Miki seems very excited at the prospect.]

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I mean, people get droned all the time, "sent home" as they say... so I try to remember them as they should be, before that happens.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, stop by anytime. I'm still trying to organize them.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Garviel looks angry, but not at Crowe]

"That is a worthy deed."

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, just for myself. Sort of. I'm documenting the people in town.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's looking through the viewfinder, trying to find another shot when he sees he's being watched.]

Ah. Don't worry, I wasn't sneaking photos or anything, promise.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Um. I-I guess. It's good to keep busy here too. Helps pass the time.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[he gestures to his waiter's outfit]

"indeed. I am Garviel Loken. What is your name?"
