[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!]

My home is not nearly as... advanced I suppose, as this place, aha. [Looking over the iPhone with great interest!] Mayfield's wonders never cease, do they...

Well this one comes from my time, 60 years ahead of Mayfield. It's a phone, but... it does a lot of different things too. Ah, it plays music too.

[He taps the screen a few times, and the phone starts to play music - Hey Jude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoBWW3OAhgw), actually.

Sixty years? Ah, so time travel is possible here...

[She trails off when the music starts playing and tilts her head, intrigued. The song is, obviously, not one familiar to her, but she taps her foot to the beat regardless.]

That is a remarkable contraption!

Here in Mayfield, it is. People come from all over time and space.

[He smiles.] It is. Yet a lot of people back home have them, so you don't even think about it. I was surprised myself when I was so happy to see the stupid thing. [He chuckles.]

I had wondered... My own brother is from several years in my future -- I suppose he really hasn't gone mad, after all. 'tis a relief, but...

[She smiles brightly.] It is always a comfort to see something familiar. I felt the same when I received my staff -- such a silly thing to be happy about, but it is the only thing I have from home so far, and so...

I missed the music too. The Beatles are a few years out from Mayfield. It's nice getting things from home, even if it's worrying how they might get a hold of your stuff... still, it's comforting.

Ah, I'm sorry. I'm Crowe. Nice to meet you.

It makes the homesickness a little easier to deal with, I've found.

...Oh! [She laughs, looking a little sheepish.] I apologize -- my name is Alma. The pleasure is all mine, ser Crowe.

Ah, would you mind if I add you to the photo album? I want to get the photos as many people here as I can. Like keeping a record of everyone who comes through town.

From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
That is a lovely idea. All the better to remember our friends who were fortunate enough to escape this place, yes?

Date: 2011-02-03 12:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Exactly. I've been here a long time, so... I only wish I had started this sooner.

Date: 2011-02-03 08:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
Well... I think it is a wonderful thing to do, regardless.

[Pause.] You've been here a long time, you say? Do... Do people leave very often?

[This is bit of a sore subject to Crowe, but he can't blame anyone for asking.]

...All the time, yeah.

From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
Oh... [She sees that look on his face and frowns, feeling a little guilty. It's easy to tell that she hit a sore spot. :c] It must be difficult. Are they able to return to their homes, at least...?

Date: 2011-02-05 02:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
I-I think so, yeah. Some people go home and get brought back, though. Sometimes they come back older, sometimes even younger...

From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
Strange. I wonder if the same could happen to me? My brother and I came here at the same time, but he seems to have come from several years in my future. If I could return home and come back older, then I might understand some of the things he's spoken of.

Date: 2011-02-06 02:01 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Anything is possible. Hope that if the town sends you home, you get to stay there.

How far in the future is your brother from you, then?

From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
As much as I would like to return home... so long as Ramza is here, I would rather remain in this place. I suppose that sounds awfully strange to you...

[She pauses to think.] Ah, three years, I believe. A lot happened in that time, apparently. For all I know, it might be safer if I stayed here. [Frown. And no, she has no idea just how bad Mayfield can be. :'D]

Date: 2011-02-06 03:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
That's understandable, really. If anyone in my family was here, I wouldn't want to leave without them either. Though I don't know if it would be safer, exactly...

[Who knows. Alma wouldn't be the first person Crowe met who was better off in Mayfield than their home.]

Is this place very dangerous? I've heard warnings, but... it seems peaceful enough.

Date: 2011-02-08 02:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
I'm afraid to say it can get dangerous here sometimes. The town... does some cruel things sometimes.

Date: 2011-02-08 02:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
So my life is in peril whether I leave or stay... [sigh] I suppose I will see for myself sooner or later.

Date: 2011-02-08 05:20 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
O-Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, things tend to get bad around holidays, so we should be good until Valentine's day, or so I think.

Date: 2011-02-09 02:20 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
And that... Valentine's Day is approaching quickly, is it not? It seems I'll be learning about the town's true nature very soon.

Date: 2011-02-09 03:56 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
February 14th, so yes, it's soon. Best thing you can do is be on your guard for anything that is unusual. My guess is candy that will turn up out of nowhere.

Date: 2011-02-10 07:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sisterofheresy.livejournal.com
Candy? Hm... I will warn my housemates, then; we are all fairly new to this town, so they're like to need it.

Thank you for all your help, Crowe!
