[Recovering from the Independence Day incident wasn't easy. Crowe still had nightmares the last few days that, while fading now, were hard to shake. That feeling of being two people in one was unsettling, not knowing which was right.

At least his room has a lot of reminders of which Calleo was the right one. All his things from home, all the photos he's taken with is friends in Mayfield. Those notes from Lucas. That goofy hat Kay and Adolph found in the western town. The pendant from Norway. His extensive journal chronicling his time here, all the horrid events Mayfield has put him through. A journal he is now writing in, filling in the details of July Fourth, and the body of Jane Smith, also known as Samantha Achewood.

Once he's done, he'll place a call to the town. Filtered from the usual NPCs:]

Hi everyone. Um. I-I know it's been a difficult week, but we need to try to understand what happened. I think... I-I was wondering, maybe we should have some sort of town meeting? I know we have the pamphlets, but I think it would be good to get everyone together to discuss things that have happened in this town. Get everyone up to speed, let them know what we're dealing with, answer questions, share information... We're all in this together, right? Whether you want to go home or not, I-I think we can all agree that, at the very least, we'd like to get to the bottom of this place so that, um, e-even if we can't go home, we really can make this a decent place to live.

[Later, Crowe's out and about with his camera. He hasn't taken it up in awhile, and with this great summer weather, the town is crawling with people. He wants to clear his head, and take some fun pictures for the collection. His mission: to record the non-droned people in this town. He keeps a large photo album with names with people's names. It's a nice record of the people as they should be, before Mayfield brainwashes them. You might find him trying to snap some candid photos. Care to pose, or are you photo-shy? Crowe's a good climber, so you also might find him sitting in high tree branches, on your rooftop, at the peak of Makeout Point - anywhere he can get a cool shot. Come bug him!]

[Desipte his attitude the last week, Crowe seems to be coming around to himself again this week. He's less quiet or short with people, and is back to trying to help people once again. After all, with his detective days behind him, he needs something else to distract himself with. Recently, it seemed that time again in town where a lot of new people came trickling in. While part of his still didn't want to bother with most people, it wasn't *their* fault they were now here. Once upon a time, he was just as lost and confused as they were. Might as well help the newbies get acclimated. And maybe he feels just slightly guilty for last week's pickpocket adventures, and wishes to make up for it.

Crowe's been around long enough to easily recognize the new faces. So during school this week, anyone he spots looking new will be slipped pamphlet in their desk, their locker, or their bag when they're not looking. You probably won't catch him doing it - he's really good at this sort of thing. There's a small note paperclipped to each one as well:

"I'm afraid to say all the information in here is correct. It's a lot to take in. I will be waiting outside the school gates after classes are done if you have any questions. My name is Crowe."

Even without leaving a description, he's hard to miss - a tall, broad teenager with silver and blue hair waits patiently, holding one of the pamphlets, to see if anyone comes by.]

[Action - daytime

Crowe's been pretty quiet the last few days, but he's starting to come around. He's a little concerned what might happen at Christmas now, and it's coming up fast. Even though he's not sure why, he had sent in a letter to Santa asking for a peaceful Christmas, but he knows it's just wishful thinking.

Today Crowe is out about town shopping. You may see him:
1) Buying baking supplies! He's been making Christmas cookies as gifts and didn't realize he needed a lot more than he originally thought. He's feeling more confident in this baking thing! Maybe he can try cooking next, since no one else in his house does... so you'll also find him looking over basic cooking supplies and utensils, looking a bit lost.

2) Buying arts and crafts items! Pretty weird for this guy. Anyone paying close enough attention will see he's getting some leather cords, claps, some paint and brushes, and some small bits of wood. He looks even more overwhelmed here than at the grocery store.

3) Returning something at one of the stores - a fancy picture frame - and looking positively morose about it.

or 4) Out with his camera, taking photos of people passing by, all the Christmas decorations and letter boxes, even some of Christmas Village. Care to have your photo snapped?]

[Action- nighttime

It seems like everyone in town is getting an early Christmas present tonight! Crowe's glad he can use his abilities for good, and when he was approached by someone in town asking if he could stealthily and anonymously deliver gifts to everyone in town, he accepted. It's a big job, so he'll be out all night, starting at about 11PM. He'll be silently dropping off small packages to every non-drone in town, little red bags of candy with an origami dove attached will be left on your porch. The note on it says "NOT from Mayfield - Happy Holidays!" Maybe some of you recognize the handwriting. It's up to you whether you trust it or not, though! If he's doing it right, you won't even see him. But you might catch a glimpse of someone darting by a window outside, or disappearing around a corner.

While he's out doing this, a special stop will be made at 1489 Kramden. A certain bedroom window will have one of the bags of candy dropped off at it, as well as a small bag of cookies with a different note attached. H-Hey, Norway seemed to get a kick of of the last time Crowe pulled a stunt like this, so why not...?

Closer to sunrise, he'll be sitting on his own porch at 1247 Williams despite the cold, drinking some warm tea and waiting for his papers to arrive. After delivering them, he had Germany's training session... now if he could only sleep.]

[Smile, Mayfield, you're on camera!

Crowe's out and about on town with a spiffy new Canon camera that he bought with some of his savings as a paper boy. After learning that Seychelles was droned now - one of the friends he's had in Mayfield the longest, and his partner in crime in the blitzball team - and that it was looking permanent, he decided to pass on practice today to try teach himself how to use this thing. He's used to digital cameras and cell phones from 2010, not these old things. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but he thinks he's getting the hang of it. As long as he keeps his fingers out of the way of the lens, that is. He's mostly in the park, but he can be found all over town taking photos of people and places that look interesting. He'll definitely stop any of his friends and ask if he can snap a shot of you, as well as any willing volunteers. Strike a pose for him?

Later in the day, despite the on-coming cold of winter, Crowe's still hanging out at the park. His schoolbag is full of books and papers, but he's currently writing in what looks to be a journal or ledger. He often stops, looking lost in thought, or as if he's trying to remember something. He'll shake his head to clear and get back to work. Care to interrupt?]

It gets harder to believe, but be honest

If the sun don't shine tomorrow, we'll survive
