Does your character need to get in contact with Crow for something? Then you've come to the right place for that!

All you have to do is please title your initial comments with these:
Action | Written | Voice/Video/etc. (????) and a date! (example: July 13th or something)
so that I know what method your character is using to try to contact him so that he can respond properly

this post can also be used for continuing threads from events or memes if needed

[He tilts his head to the side in mock curiosity.]

What exactly is important about tryin' to tempt fate? And gravity.

[tomodachi]

[Crow straightens up, pulling his legs up and over until he's standing on his hands now, as if that's supposed to be an answer in of itself.]

Because it's fun, and having fun is important, obviously.

[foundafamily]

[Internally, Firo's screaming and he has to grit his teeth to keep from yelling at Crow to put his feet back on the ground. Roof. Whatever.]

No, it's not. Now get down from there--it'll be no fun if you hurt yourself.

[tomodachi]

[And that gets a roll of the eyes from Crow and being no less closer to getting him to put his feet back down...]

Geez, how many times do I gotta tell you that I'm not gonna hurt myself? Do you just keep forgetting that or something?

[foundafamily]

[He shakes his head, putting his hands on his hips.]

I remember every time that stupid line comes outta your mouth. I just don't believe it.

[tomodachi]

Well it's true! I could take just about anything you could throw at me, and I'd walk away without a scratch!

[Someone's arrogant today...]

[foundafamily]

If I were meaner, I'd test that out right now. I can't guarantee you that gravity won't try.

[Don't be silly, Firo, gravity can't try anything.]

[tomodachi]

Heh, I'd like to see you or gravity try to keep me from having fun.

[It won't work, FYI.]

[foundafamily]

Gravity'll keep you from havin' fun once you fall off that roof and break your legs.

[Firo almost considers daring him to jump. Crow's smart enough to refuse, isn't he? But the kid is also pretty stubborn...]

[tomodachi]

[He can jump down from roofs pretty easily, Firo, you have to make it much more challenging than that...]

I doubt that'll happen. [He's fallen off enough heights to know that his legs don't break like a human's would.]

[foundafamily]

Why's that? You're not immortal, you know; anybody can get hurt.

[At least Firo's pretty sure he's not.]

[tomodachi]

Immortal? [...That means you can't die, right? Right...suddenly, a distant memory comes back to mind--lying on the floor in an underground building somewhere, his body slowly shutting down. Everything going dark...normally, he pushes that thought away, but perhaps by this point, he's grown annoyed and tired of having to repeat himself--how many times have they had this conversation already and caused him remember that moment of weakness?

For some reason, Crow suddenly laughs.] Ha, I'm not just anybody, you know. [He balances now on only one hand on the roof, using his free hand to gesture to himself.]

I'm special--I can do whatever I want without getting hurt! I've never even cried, not once in my entire life! [He's still laughing a little, but there's something...not right about it. It's almost bitter and not quite as happy as the way he normally laughs...]

[foundafamily]

[His eyes widen as Crow moves and he feels slightly sick from nervousness. Despite their arguments and bickering, he does care for the kid and right now he's concerned for him. Being that this is Firo, though, that concern manifests itself as something like anger.]

What the hell are you doin'? Quit that and get down from there right now!

[His hands clench into fists, not that he'd know at whom to swing right now. He has half a mind to charge inside and get out onto the roof through one of the windows to force Crow down, but he's afraid to take his eyes off him.]

[tomodachi]

No, I don't wanna. [Petulant immature child, thy name is Crow.] I like it up here, so you can't make me.

[And he makes that almost sound like a challenge, like he's trying to dare Firo into trying to forcibly make him come down from the roof.]

[foundafamily]

Stop foolin' around, then! If you quit the acrobatics you can stay up there.

[Now he is thinking about grabbing the kid. How quickly would he be able to get up there?]

[tomodachi]

[Nope--instead, Crow just switches from one hand to the other now.]

But I don't wanna stop doing this either. I can do whatever I want up here, whether you like it or not!

[foundafamily]

[He growls through gritted teeth, realizing that he doesn't have too many options.]

You stay put. I'm comin' up there.

[He storms into the house and a moment later hauls himself up onto the roof through one of the upper windows. He's not as acrobatic as Crow, but he's pretty nimble. Being on the small side helps.]

[tomodachi]

[Surprisingly, Crow actually stayed on the roof, though he does raise an imaginary eyebrow at seeing Firo hauling himself up onto the roof from one of the windows.]

...Heh. Just because you're up here now doesn't mean I have to listen to you, y'know. [But what exactly does Firo plan on doing...?]

[foundafamily]

I'm givin' you one more chance: get down now. Or I'll make you.

[This is a very bad idea, and Firo's starting to realize that. If they squabble up here, one of them could fall off. Firo knows he'll be fine, but what about Crow? It might have been better to leave him, but Firo can't back down now.]

[tomodachi]

[At that, Crow grins. Bring it on, Firo.]

I'd like to see you try!

[foundafamily]

Why's it so hard to do what you're told? It's for your own good!

[He shakes his head. Moving hesitantly, he walks over to Crow and tries to grab him by the shirt.]

[tomodachi]

[Firo's hesitation is what allows Crow to back up away from the other's outstretched hand a little. He's teetering a little closer to the edge than before, but otherwise he at least has both of his hands on the roof rather than just one for now as he scoffs.]

You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that if you plan on catching me!

[foundafamily]

This isn't the kinda place to be foolin' around!

[It's Firo's fault, though, isn't it? He reaches for Crow again to try and pull him away from the edge.]

[tomodachi]

[Crow doesn't seem to be listening as he practically cartwheels now to avoid the outstretched hand.]

Is that all you've got?

[There is one thing that Crow hasn't noticed yet--if he doesn't pay attention, he'll eventually run out of roof to move on soon.]

[foundafamily]

This isn't a game!

[He's afraid--though he'd hate to use that word--of Crow going right off the edge. So he grabs for him once again, more quickly, to try and drag him away from it.]
