[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!]

Date: 2011-02-05 08:25 am (UTC)To cut it short because I have zilch Italian geography knowledge okok...The rest of the walk will be spent with her energetically going on about the popular locations of Italy. She... never actually stayed in any of those places for longer than maybe a week tops, but headquarters being in Vatican, she did occasionally run small errands into the neighboring cities, and hence was familiar with them. Yes, even if it's on the other side of the country. She's a free agent, okay.]Oh, we're here! [She'll be stepping in first, and hold the door for him.]

Date: 2011-02-05 03:58 pm (UTC)It dawns on him that he's lived in Mayfield a lot longer than a lot of other places, including his supposed permanent residence in the US. He doesn't like the thought of this so he keeps it to himself.
He'll order himself a hot chocolate, and will find himself a seat.]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-06 12:45 am (UTC)She'll be getting a cup of tea, and once they're both settled, she'll make sure that no one is around to hear snippets of their conversation before edging the conversation back to the original point of focus.]
Are you warming back up now, Crowe?
[One step at a time; it's still early in the day, now.

Date: 2011-02-06 01:18 am (UTC)Ah, yes, thank you. I'm not keeping you from anything, am I?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-06 07:05 am (UTC)Not at all. So what were you doing outside back there? It's good that you're an early riser, but this weather is definitely not good enough to be loafing around!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-06 07:22 am (UTC)No, I'm not slacking, I promise. I'm... investigating.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-06 10:24 am (UTC)Also, no drone in sight. That's always good to notice - and keep in mind to watch out for.]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-06 03:22 pm (UTC)Um, the Milkman. But I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone? I don't want too many people involved.
[Not just for their safety, but his own instincts as a thief prefer it too.]

Date: 2011-02-07 04:06 am (UTC)I know that. After City Hall, I know that better than anyone. But... people just aren't proactive enough here. We need information. The dairy is always locked 24/7, and I want to know where he comes and goes from.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:32 am (UTC)She realizes that it must have taken some courage of his part to confess this. Maybe she can let drop a few hints of her own, in that case...]
I see, so that's why you've been at this for 3 days now. Are you planning to do all this alone?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:43 am (UTC)...how do you know I've been at it that long?

Date: 2011-02-07 02:02 pm (UTC)Oh. I-I had no idea anyone could have spotted me. Miss Ciel, I appreciate that you're trying to look out for me, but I heardly think I'm being unreasonable or reckless. I know what I'm doing, and I'm doing it for the benefit of everyone in town.

no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 11:23 pm (UTC)[He actually frowns at that. It's an unusual sight on Crowe's face.] No, I don't. But I have other skills to help me along.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-08 12:20 am (UTC)If you really believe it, then I won't say more about that. In that case, may I come with you?
