[Crowe enters the diner, looking around for the man he's only spoken with on the phone. He looks around for obvious not!drones, and you certainly fit that description.]

Ah... Mr. Vimes?

[Vimes shakes his head. He only lets a select group of people call him Mister Vimes, and without his badge that narrows down the options as well]

Sam, Samuel, or Vimes if you must, but not Mister Vimes. You're here about the Watch, lad?

Ah, sorry. Yes, I am. We spoke on the phone; my name's Calleo Crowe. May I sit down?

[Vimes gestures at the seat across from him, sitting up a bit straighter himself]

By all means, go right ahead. Now then, how old are you, and why do you want to join?

Ah, well, I'm 16, sir. But that doesn't mean I'm not experienced enough for this, please trust me. [This may or may not come as a surprise. Crowe is very tall for his age, not to mention all that sports and combat training he's been going through. He's a pretty big kid.]

Ah, well, I was on something like this before, once I first got here. A lot of bad stuff goes on around here, whether it be the town's fault or the residents. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, so I'd like to continue keeping an eye on things and helping out where I can. I've, uh, been learning to fight, and while I don't exactly want to use it, I can handle myself if something happens.

[Vimes is reminded a little of Carrot, but only by the outward look of the boy. He certainly doesn't have the same view of reality that the Captain does. Vimes nods and leans forward]

It's a start. Do you know anyone else who was in the previous group who is still around? So far it's just you and me.

[A thought occurs to him]

What kind of fighting? Not that showy hands waving around stuff like they do on the Counterweight Continent I hope.

[Crowe shakes his head.][He gives you a raised eyebrow.] Ah, I don't quite follow, sir. Do you mean... magic? Super powered stuff? Yeah, people do use that a lot here.

[Vimes shakes his head]

Tch, wizards...No, I mean that hand wavy fighting stuff. The kind with all the flips. You don't do that, do you?

Oh, like... the stuff in movies? Martial arts? [He chuckles.] No, no. Just... fighting, I guess. I don't think it's a particular style or anything like that. I've been training with someone named Jecht, if you know him.

No, but he met him today :D knurdcopper August 17 2010, 00:10:34 UTC
[Vimes nods] Good, that sort of fighting is rubbish. Won't do you any good against a drunk man with a knife.

[Vimes straightens up again]

Basically I want to get people together to help patrol the neighborhood and try to keep things from getting out of hand. We still need more people though.

And no, I don't know him.

I'll have to ask around then. I may know a few people, but I'm not sure if they'd be interested or not. How many people were you looking to get?

I don't have a real number in mind, but there's not much the two of us can do.

True. Well like I said, I'll have to ask around. I've already started keeping an eye on things at night again anyway. Never too late to start.
