[ It's been a while since he arrived in Mayfield. Elliot really hasn't made much attempt to do anything but get a hang of the schooling system here and get into the swing of his new Mayfield life. Though, that's not to say it's been an entirely smooth transition. ]

I think I'm getting the hang of this place. It's been a pain, but I think I'

This town insists my surname is "Horse" when it's "Crowe". They swapped one animal for another. Though, I've been through so many surnames in my time here, I've lost count.

Ah, I do have some novels from home that I let people borrow, so long as you treat them well.

[beheadthe_truth]

It changes? Whenever the head of the house changes, I'm guessing? What a pain.

Yeah, I'll treat them well. What sort of books are they, though?

[perfektsymmetry]

Exactly. I've been here too long and have been through a lot of fake fathers.

Ah, mostly classic literature. And a lot of detective novels.

[beheadthe_truth]

... I guess those'll do. Beggers can't be choosers...

Huh. So your fake family switches a lot here. Sounds annoying...

[perfektsymmetry]

It hasn't in a few months now. The "mother" was droned awhile ago, but other than that, it's been Hol, Ash and I for quite awhile now.

You go to the high school then, yeah? Maybe I can bring you some at lunch sometime.

[beheadthe_truth]

I see. Still sounds annoying...

Yeah, that'd be great... Thanks

[perfektsymmetry]

You said your name was Elliot? Nice to meet you, then. I'm Crowe.

[beheadthe_truth]

Yeah, that's me. Elliot Nightray. Nice to you, Crowe.

You go to the high school too?

[perfektsymmetry]

Yeah, I'm a junior. The school year is almost over already. I can't wait, honestly.

[beheadthe_truth]

I just got here and it's already almost over... Feels like a waste...

Not that I'm complaining. Maybe we'll cross paths at school, then.

[perfektsymmetry]

You're not missing much, really. School here is... odd, between having real and drone teachers in the mix...

I'm sure we will. And I always have some books on me.
