[perfektsymmetry]

[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

[Hanako stands shivering in front of her locker- as usual- reading the pamphlet.

Eventually, she does decide to muster up the courage to go to the school gates- but she stands slightly behind them, peering around the corner.]

[Crowe stands there waiting, leaned against the wall, absently playing with the pamphlet in his hands. He's staring out ahead, lost in thought. He really doesn't think anyone would come.]

[she peeks around the corner, and spots Crowe- he's the only person here, so it must be him...

but she's too shy to approach now. he looks intimidating to her.]

[perfektsymmetry]

[Crowe now feels he's being watch. He turns to the girl, blinking. Sure, he's a bit on the big side, but his smile is gentle enough.]

O-Oh. Hi there. Did you get one of the pamphlet...?

[Kurt's bookbag is thrown over his shoulder like a shapeless satchel. The leaflet he found in it seemed to reinforce Tybalt's account -- welcome to Hell, indeed -- and it's, weirdly, a relief. At least he isn't living with a crazy man. Just a pessimistic Shakespeare fan in need of a haircut. And a... homeless... fish... thing.

The offered rendezvous, however, seemed a little more suspect. But he's there, keeping his distance and watching for drones.]

[Crowe knows it would seem suspicious to people, so he's not even sure anyone will show. Still, he's waiting outside the school gates, leaned against the wall, lost in thought. He's holding one of the pamphlets, hoping it will act as a signal for anyone who cared to talk.]

[in a stage whisper -- you're lucky it's not a mock-cough-]

Crowe?

[perfektsymmetry]

[That snaps him back to reality. He looks over, blinking a moment.]

O-Oh. Yes! I'm Crowe. Ah, did you get one of those pamphlets....?

[biophases]

Hello! Are you Crowe? I wanted to say thanks.

[perfektsymmetry]

O-Oh. Yes. Hi. Ah, it's no problem. I hope it wasn't... too much. I know it's a lot to learn.

[biophases]

I think I'm coming to absorb it...gradually.

[perfektsymmetry]

I wish I had some good news to give you about it all... ah, I guess I should actually introduce myself. Calleo Crowe. [Handshake?]
