97 - forward dated to Monday (event post)

[perfectsymmetry]

[It seems Crowe has received a delivery of irises today. Strange, he thinks, that there's no name attached. They smell nice, but almost too overwhelming. Well, whatever. Into a vase in the kitchen they go. He had a phone call to make anyway. He had one matter to address, but not it seemed like he had something else to get off his chest.]

[Phone call filtered from drones/NPCs:]

A-Ah. Hello. I wanted to call and tell someone thanks, though I don't know who you are. There was a doctor at the hospital during the, ah, last ordeal going on. I ran in there when a-all my old wounds reopened, and he did his best to help me. I-I wanted to thank you for trying your best.

Um. Also.

[There's an awkward pause.]

I-I just. Need to say. That. Um. Silence. I-If you're listening. I. I love you. A-And I don't care if the whole town hears it. They should hear it. I-I don't care. I just think that.. I. I only hope you feel the same way. Um. S-Sorry-- [CLICK.]

[Don't mind Crowe, not!family and visitors, as he hides in his room for awhile wanting to die of embarrassment.]

[After a LONG WHILE]

...Hello?

[a_gentle_boy]

Mr. Silence has nothing to do tomorrow night!

I thought you should know.

[Calling back]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart hears the phone call and with shrk-like reflexes dials back.

It's ringing...]

[perfectsymmetry]

[OH GOD SOMEONE ELSE NOW.]

...Yes?

[bounces]

[Woah. Did that just happen?


Ring, Ring Crowe. Better pick up, or she's teleporting into your bedroom like the asshole she is.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Eventually he will pick up. Everyone is calling him back.]

...

Hello.

[beamiracle]

[...hmm.

Yeah, Lion's gonna call you right back, Crowe.]

[perfectsymmetry]

[WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING, CAN HE DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT IN PEACE]

...

Yes.

lol action

[commentboxtroll]

[Because screw your problems and weird confessions to people, Crowe, he still has to dump your birthday present on you and then wander off again. Deal with it. By it, he would mean him, ringing the doorbell. And probably having to wait, though that will only result in him testing the doorknob to see if someone's forgotten to keep their house locked...]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe was getting up the courage to answer the door when Caesar pokes his head in.

Crowe just looks at him, blinking.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Nope, not going to call (the line was busy, anyway) so Ilsa is now ringing the doorbell. ]

[perfectsymmetry]

[After a few moment, Crowe opens the door, eyes peeking out.]

Hi Ilsa.

[resuscitates]

[ Don't worry, he's not going to bombard your phone line. This call is made a little later in the day. ]

[perfectsymmetry]

[That's good, because at least a little later in the day he'll be a bit more calmed down. He still sounds a bit sheepish, though.]

Ah, hello?

[bootsandboys]

[ Sorry, not!Dad isn't going to help. At all. Like, in any way what so ever.

He's just leaning against the wall outside Crowe's door, laughing quietly to himself. ]

You know, this is almost as bad as the time my boyfriend came out to his parents by making out with me in front of them.

Almost.

[perfectsymmetry]

[Oh, goodness. Now, Crowe would think that would be worse. His mother would never forgive him. But his dad would have just laughed because they got caught.]

[There's a pause. He still embarrassed himself to everyone in Mayfield though.]


Is it okay i-if I just die now.

Action, since Silence can't use the phones~

[mute_mystic]

[It's just long enough that Crowe may be between phone calls about his announcement when there's a knock at the door. Unlike Caesar, this caller will be patient enough to wait for him to answer it.

They may also be smiling - in such a way that Crowe will be discovering for the first time that mystics can, in fact, blush. Of course, since they flush blue instead of red, thanks to the color of the blood involved, this looks a bit unusual...]

[perfectsymmetry]

[Crowe opens the door, eyes peeking out at first, then opening it more. Crowe's pretty red in the face himself, and it takes him a moment for him to catch on that Silence is essentially doing the same thing. He gets a small, sheepish smile from Crowe before he takes in a deep breath, and the just comes out with it.]

Ah. Um. L-Look. I'm sorry that I, ah, did it like that, I-I didn't ever really want to say it that way but what's done is done a-and I think I know why it happened but that's neither here nor there a-and--

...

I meant it. I truly did.

[beastorian]

[ Oh, she heard that. And don't mind if she goes to check up on Crowe. Knock knock, Crowe's bedroom door! ]

Calleo Crowe?

[perfectsymmetry]

[After a moment, the door opens slightly, and Crowe peeks out.]

Yes?

I'm so so... No I'm not. Lets just add to the flailing.

[hontobakabaka]

[There is a call back]

keep the shame train coming

[perfectsymmetry]

[A soft, frustrated sigh.] Hello?

[thelonewanderer]

Oh wow. Way to go Crowe!

[Mae is grinning from the other end of the line.]

I bet that took guts!

[perfectsymmetry]

I... I don't know what it took, really. I-I don't know what came over me.
