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

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, but I didn't know you were right!

[He shakes his head again.]

How did that not hurt you? You better not be trying to hide it.

[Crow sits up on the back of his elbows slightly, wiggling the fingers on one of his hands in Firo's face.]

See? There's nothing broken, so everything's fine.

[Although that doesn't answer Firo's question of explaining why the fall didn't hurt him...]

[He's so surprised that he doesn't lean away from Crow's hand, he just watches it.]

There's no way that's possible. Anybody would break a bone or somethin' fallin' from that high.

[There's a slight pause as Crow looks away.]

Yeah well, I'm not just anybody, remember? [He recalls saying something like that just before Firo climbed up onto the roof to try to get him down...]

You can say that all you want. It doesn't make you indestructible.

[He says it firmly, but not angrily. Still concerned, he starts poking Crow around his arms and back to make sure he's not hurting anywhere.

Yeah, he has no clue what he's supposed to do.]

[It actually takes a second or two to even notice Firo poking him since Crow was looking the other way (a sign that Crow doesn't really feel things when it comes to touch either, though he can sort of detect thing like movement, such as when Firo was shaking him earlier), but once he does notice, he tries to push Firo's hand away.]

Cut it out, I'm fine, alright? Didn't I just say that nothing was broken?

[Firo blinks, but backs down. He only notices the delayed response to wonder if Crow suffered any head trauma.]

...I can't believe it. I mean, I'm grateful you're fine and all... It just doesn't make sense! You'd have to be made of steel or somethin' to survive that without a scratch!

[Maybe Crow's even more like Claire than Firo thought, in that they both have an unfair amount of luck.]

[Aaand that seems to get a slight reaction, mouth forming a thin line at the mention of being "made of steel" and what not.]

Well I survived, and that's what matters, isn't it?

[Firo's dense, but even he can't miss that.]

Yeah, I guess.

...Unless there's somethin' you think I should know?

Like what?

[Yeah no, he's not gonna come right out and say it, if you have your suspicions about something, then let's hear it.]

[He bites his lip. Truth is, he doesn't even know where to start asking questions; he just knows that something's up. A normal human shouldn't have come out of that completely fine, and given Crow's reaction a moment ago, he wonders if "normal" applies to the kid.]

...Why are you so sure nothin' can hurt you?

[He asks without the skepticism he had in the past. Now he knows there's some truth to Crow's claims.]

'Cause I'm not the same as everyone else, obviously. Haven't I been saying that this whole time? And yet you still don't listen to me when I say it. [tch] I know you or Seto could probably get hurt from doing stuff like this, but look, I'm not as fragile as you humans are.

[...And once he says that, he realizes how odd that sounds, and quickly plows on, trying to cover it up with another one as a distraction.] And I've fallen off of worse stuff before and walked away without a scratch, so this is practically nothing.

[And all this time, Firo thought that was just arrogance talking. He wonders how he never realized it.]

So if it's "you humans", I'm guessin' you're not included in that. What would you call yourself?

[Could he be immortal, or maybe a homonculus like Ennis? Possible, but Crow didn't seem to regenerate from any damage, he just seemed to not take any.]

...Yeah, that's right, I wouldn't be included in that. [Crow finally comes right out and admits it, but he seems...a little bitter about it all the same. Old words he once said are coming to mind again--"I'm just like these discarded dolls around me." But he really doesn't want to have to refer to himself as a "discarded doll" or such in front of Firo.] And I don't know what the exact word for it would be, and it wouldn't matter anyway. I don't need a fancy word to know that I'm not human.

If you don't know what you are, how can you be sure you're not human?

[He suddenly remembers the odd glimpse he got of Crow's wrist--maybe he didn't imagine that. But even then, he still doesn't know what that means about Crow.]

I just am, alright? [He doesn't like the fact that he doesn't know the whole story about himself, and that he can't remember a good chunk of his entire life before ending up at the park and meeting Seto.] Besides, what part of "falling off a building and not dying from it" did you not get? You don't see me bleeding or with "broken bones" or whatever, do you?

[...Then again that's because he doesn't have any blood or bones. He's practically a very durable tin can.]

Well, no, but...

[There's nothing he can say to argue to that. Crow's been dropping hints for a while and now there's evidence to back them up.]

It's fine if you don't tell me, but for all I know there could be some other way you got hurt. So if there is, you should tell me now.

[He stands up and holds his hand out for Crow in case he needs to be helped to his feet.]

... [Crow says nothing, just stares at the offered hand for a long moment before he actually reaches out to grab it. His sleeve is drooping again a little though, so Firo might be able to sneak a peek again at what it was he saw earlier--the metal skin of his wrist and the screws and such holding him, and probably the rest of him, together in one piece.]

[Firo has a feeling he shouldn't, but he can't stop himself from staring at Crow's wrist anyway as he pulls the kid up. His eyes widen slightly when he sees the screws--looks like he wasn't imagining it.

After staring for a moment, he blinks and looks away self-consciously. The last thing he wants to do is make Crow feel uncomfortable after sharing that.]

[If Crow notices, he doesn't say anything. Instead he just pulls himself to his feet and brushes himself off of any dirt. (Which is kind of a lost cause, considering that Crow probably rarely washes his clothes)

Rather than dwelling on Firo knowing, Crow's actually wondering about Seto at the moment and whether he should say anything about Firo to him.]

[He watches Crow carefully, unsure of how to proceed. He doesn't want to offend him, but he doesn't even have any idea how to avoid that.]

Um... So is there anything else I should know? Like... I dunno, is there anything you need?

No. I don't need anything, except for you to not go blabbing about this to everyone here.

[...Not that he cares what people think of him. >_>]

I wouldn't.

[He almost snaps it, somewhat offended that Crow would think he'd do that. Immediately he regrets that; perhaps it's not accurate to reality, but he feels like they might be reaching a fragile trust. He doesn't want to screw that up.]

...Thanks for tellin' me.

[That actually catches him by surprise for some reason.]

Huh? Why are you thanking me for that?

[He shrugs, suddenly uncomfortable now that he has to justify the remark. He doesn't like focusing on his feelings.]

You didn't have to tell me that. And I... I guess it means somethin' that you did.

Not that I'm gonna think about you any differently now, but...

[Maybe they can trust each other a little more now? He falters before he can say that. Maybe Crow really doesn't want to trust him anymore than this.]
