perfectsymmetry[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!]

[It should be hard to argue against that - boys his age are all fairly predictable. They want to be strong. they usually wouldn't turn down an offer as such. Granted, she doesn't know, but it's as she's said herself: might as well.

Date: 2011-02-09 04:38 am (UTC)I could spar with you to determine your current level. You specialize in stealth too, don't you? There's a few things that you could make to help concealment from what's available in a regular kitchen, but knowing our opponent, small tricks may be useless anyhow. You have to work on your speed first and foremost; finds are useless if you cannot make away with them.
[But she's rambled on enough.] Your answer, Crowe? [He's yet to accept or reject.]

Alright. I accept.

She won't hesitate to do that, but she'll definitely keep quiet about it.]
Very well. You know where to find me; you're free to let me know of your availabilities at any time, and I will provide you with a schedule shortly after. Is there anything else that you would like to ask about?

...No.

Date: 2011-02-10 09:17 am (UTC)It sounds like you already have quite a bit to do. How many times per week would you like to see me? We will likely meet in the evening.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-10 12:59 pm (UTC)As often as you would like. If you think I need that much work then I'm up for however much you think I need.

Really... I know that I've said harsh things to you just now, and I won't ask you to trust me any more than I already have by having you take me along, but if you need someone to talk to, I'll always be willing to hear you out. Please remember this, okay?
[Ignore the fact that her eyes seem to glow more blue for a moment; just... trying to nudge your subconscious towards that. Remember what she's telling you now and go see her, if you're really down in the dumps and need someone to blab to.
