Ok. For all you guys who heard Omi's phone call the other day? All true, except the communist bit. Ok, so I'm an assassin back home. That florist job I keep makin' noise about? Just my day job.

He's lying about the communist thing so ignore that! I MEAN IT! 

I...I'm sorry for lying to all of you, and I know you guys are gonna hate me for this...[He's sad, this truth will make him loose all his friends who think he's a nice, normal dude.] I just wanted a normal life for a while...If it makes you feel any better I don't really enjoy it. Now anyways. Apparently later in my future I start to. Thanks a fuckin' lot Schuldig.

Also, I used to play pro soccer, but my best friend at the time totally screwed me over and destroyed my life. I miss those days, though I kinda wish I could resurrect him and tear him apart again. [This line is followed by a snort of satisfaction.]

[Click....then reclick as he picks it back up.]

You know, thinkin' on it, I actually don't mind the florist job though. I mean, you spend all night destroying life, and all day tending to it. It's kinda relaxing even if the guys make me haul the heavy shit around more then actually doing the arrangements.

Also, Miakis is the best teddy bear known to man, it's like she's a nightmare sponge or something.

I-I have no right to judge, Ken. My family and I are criminals. The man who practically raised me is an ex-mafioso. S-So I know how people can be railroaded into these things, i-if what Uncle Marco has told me is true.

Still, I can't e-even imagine how you can... stay so happy so often. I-If it were me...

I am generally happy, I like working at the flower shop, I like hanging out with the guys, I like playing with the kids. There's no point in being unhappy all the time, it would just make my life shorter and worth less then it is.

I...your...criminals? [Oh please let it be something he wouldn't have to take down in his world...please let it be something minor like petty theft or something.]

[A sigh. Cat's out of the bag, now.] My mother and father are white-collar criminals. They're thieves. They steal things from museums o-or collections and sell them on the black market. A-And I was going to join them.

[Have the biggest sigh of relief there Crowe. That is way less horrible then he was expecting.]

Thank god...That's not so bad.

That's o-only what I know of, Ken, I-I don't know what they do without my knowledge, they've always sheltered me quite heavily s-so I sometimes wonder if they are doing things that are much w--

Much worse things? I don't know. Even if they were I doubt they'd let you go with them even if you did know.

Ken...

My parents best friends are, basically, a dictatorial, marauding super villain cutting his way through Europe with a frightening force, a-and mad scientist. I hardly doubt they just get together for tea.

What the fuck, those exist in your world?

Anyways, as long as you're not involved in that stuff you're still ok. You're still young Crowe, you can get out of it if you want to. I don't think your parents would be too heart broken if you didn't go into the family business.

Even if they have never been anything but nice to me, I-I don't know what to do about them. There's nothing I can do. Their son is my best friend, a-and I worry about him a lot becoming like his father.

I-I'm still torn. I wanted to be in it for a long time. I'm actually good at things like breaking and entering a-and going unseen. They're the only thinks I'm good at. But for a long time they didn't want me involved either, until they found that out. Then they encouraged me.

After being in Mayfield for awhile, I thought I wanted t-to be a detective. Part of me still does. B-But I know that I'm not suited for that, I'm not smart enough, a-and I haven't found anything useful i-in helping anyone here. I-I was probably better off suited for the other side of the law.

Hey! You are so smart enough! Listen here Crowe, you gotta stop doubting yourself or your going to tear your life apart! I understand you want to do what your parents do. I mean, come on, international thievery does sound cool when you're young. Hell, I wanted to be one when I was little.

You're good at lots of things! You can drive your bike, you know how to cheer people up, and I bet you're good in school too! You are so helping whether you see it that way or not!

Ken, I-I... Wh-Why can't I ever believe p-people when they say things l-like this to me? S-So many people do, I-I have such wonderful friends h-here, I really don't deserve i-it, but I-I can never believe people wh-when they say things like that, I always feel so worthless all the times and I--

Believe me because I can't lie right now! Why else would I have just told the entire town that I kill people for a living!

You. Are. NOT. Worthless!

[Crowe's quiet for a long moment. He's run out of words. He doesn't know what to say.]


Thank you, Ken. I-I'm sorry I went off like that. And I'm sorry the town m-made you admit all that to everyone.

It's ok. It sounded like it was something you needed to get off your chest. Things like that can stew and brood because they sound perfectly valid in your head. So valid that you get convinced that other people must believe them as well.

As for the other thing...[Ken heaves a long sigh] Knowing this place it would have come out eventually, what with all the villain types that show up here.

I-It doesn't make me feel better though. E-Everyone always says it will make you feel better to say those things, but it doesn't help.

It's less feeling better about saying it, and more about finally having someone react to it instead of imagining how they'd react.

Date: 2011-07-18 12:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
M-Maybe... Since everyone's in the same boat for the m-most part, reactions have been strange.

From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
Yeah. Just take a deep breath and keep goin'. It's all we can do. Now no more of this 'not smart enough' talk. It ain't true.

I-I hope some day I can believe it for myself.

You will, it'll come. You're still young yet after all.

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Ken... Y-You always say that when you're n-not that much older than I am, you know.

Date: 2011-07-18 01:20 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
Ok so I'm only like what...4 years older then you? I feel a lot older then that, that's for sure.

Date: 2011-07-18 03:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Do you feel old, o-or do I just seem to young?

Date: 2011-07-18 03:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
I feel old, don't worry. Mainly, because of what I do I probably ain't gonna see past 30... if that.
