A lot of people have come into town recently. This is pretty odd, considering they usually trickle in instead of coming in so close together... it makes me wonder what are captors are up to.

At any rate, ah, to all the new people out there? My name is Crowe, and if you need any help, let me know. I've been here a long time now, so I can fill you in on any details if you like. There's also a pamphlet available if you haven't seen it. I know some others have been handing them out, and I've been leaving them in mailboxes as well. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. It's fair that everyone who comes into this town knows what they've been brought into. Valentine's Day is coming up next month, and ah, things tend to get a bit ugly around holidays here. Don't trust anything the town just drops off in your house overnight, alright?



Ah, Mr. Holmes? I've finished up that copy of the journal I was talking about. If you want, I can just leave it in your mailbox as well. Whatever is convenient for you.





Ah. Um. I-I was wondering if you'd like to do something this weekend. It's my birthday this weekend, you see, and... well I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but it would be nice to, um, maybe do dinner or the movies or something?



[Action! Crowe will be found at the park today, despite the snow and cold, as he hates being inside so much. He'll be out today practicing the tae kwon do he's been learning from Taiwan in a clearing he's made in the snow. He's still new at it, but he's in good shape and a dedicated student, so he's doing pretty well. Care to interrupt/say hi/challenge?]

Ah, I guess? I'm just trying to keep up with everyone in town, really. Everyone here is... so amazing. All the powers and stuff they have, it's incredible. I-I don't have anything like that, so I have to keep up somehow.

[playswithwater.livejournal.com]

That's true, isn't it?! But there are a lot of people here without any interesting powers.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs slightly.] Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. I-I don't want to be a burden to anyone, so I'm working hard.

[playswithwater.livejournal.com]

Ha! Well... even strength is no guarantee.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I suppose not, but it's better than nothing.

[playswithwater.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't become frustrated.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'm not. It gives me something to do, something to keep my occupied, if nothing else. I do enjoy it.

[playswithwater.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's good~ So many people get so upset when they are rendered powerless.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I never had much to begin with. For the most part, I'm just a normal person. But... Mayfield wouldn't give people back their powers here if they could be used against it, right? So in the end, things like that might not be any good anyway. But they can't take away my knowledge, and my skills... I'll always have those.

[Crowe nods, as if he were trying to convince himself of this too. He tries so hard to be optimistic.]

[playswithwater.livejournal.com]

Those are more important, I would venture.
