[It's been obvious lately, since after Christmas, that Crowe hadn't been feeling like himself. He's been depressed ever since, doing his best to not show it. But today, Mayfield has decided to cheer him up, it seems. Suddenly there's another Christmas tree in his house this morning. And under that tree is a 2009 Ducati 1198 Superbike. He stares at it for a long time, rereading the note, looking it over... Santa? No. He *knows* this is from home. His birthday present from his dad. This was what he was promised for when he turned 17, and it's shown up here!

Crowe pushes it outside, pops on the helmet that was included, and rides off! There's going to be some problems though. Crowe was still learning how to ride back home, which was over 10 months ago now. So not only is he a newbie on a very fast bike, he's rusty. Better look out because he's coming your way! He'll be making awkward starts and stops, shaking and stalling out... but he manages to stay upright at least. But no one noticed him knocking himself into that mailbox, did they...? It doesn't seem to bother him though, as anyone who listens can hear him laughing. Feel free to stop him - maybe he's taking a breather, or maybe he almost ran you over. Oops. He'll be sorry, really. He'll also be stopping by his friends' houses to show off, and making an extra special stop at 1489 Kramden Road to pick up a certain special someone.]

Does it have any special features?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

So many that I don't even remember. It's pretty top-notch. It's really more than I can handle, I think. [He laughs.]

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

[He's somewhat interested in this]

Are you able to cross bodies of water with it?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He looks surprised at that.] O-Oh! Nothing that special, I'm afraid.

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

...It still appears to be a well-designed model. How long have you been driving on motorcycles?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[You get a sheepish look.] Ah, not very long at all. I had only started back home, a-and I've been here in Mayfield so long now that I'm completely out of practice.

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

You have the opportunity now to practice driving.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods, enthusiastically.] Yeah! I figure I can learn to build up speed by looping around the town fast enough.

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

And no accidents have occurred yet?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, nothing major. I haven't fallen off yet. [Let's not talk about that trash can he ran into a few minutes ago.]

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

[He nods briefly]

...I'll leave you to your practice then, Crowe.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Only one way to get better, yeah? [He pops his helmet back on, and shakily starts to ride off!]
