[ He's been told time and time again that he really should think some of his decisions through more. Which. He does, he really does. Rowen is a very careful person. He studies intensely, always looks at things from different angles, just in case. When he's working in his chemical labs, he's sure to follow all the safety instructions to a T.
But then there's times like this, where he's laughed himself sick over the insanely jittering apples in the bucket.
Of course, he's encountered the Weird Fruit before, who hasn't in this city? But it's an altogether different thing to see them all vibrating around in the water like they've got batteries or too much sugar.
So, call him crazy, but this 15 year old idiot has his hands behind him, grin huge as he waits for the signal to start bobbing for the little weirdos. Maybe stop him? Who knows what those things have. ]
1b. pumpkin spice is life
[ His hair is still damp from his earlier adventure with bobbing for psychotic apples, but this doesn't deter Rowen from participating in other things, like pumpkin carving. At least these fruit-gourd-veggie-whatever the hell they are don't have crazy faces.
Er, at least not ones that people hadn't carved there on purpose.
He's carefully slicing off pieces of the rind, foot jittering under the table as he works. If you squint, maybe you can make sense of his design, which is still in its fledgling stages.
Either way, he's gonna lean over to whoever is closest and ask– ]
Hey, d'ya have one of those medium carver things?
3. it's a spook vs spook world out there
[ Rowen believes in ghosts. In spirits and the great beyond. For someone so science driven, it's kind of weird. But, it's there all the same. After all, there's nothing to say they don't exist. No solid proof. Never mind that there's no solid proof saying they do exist.
Still, he's not exactly afraid of the spirit world or the afterlife. Whatever it may bring. He's interested in ghosts purely from a scientific standpoint– like how do they exist on two different planes? Or are their planes closer together than people think? He just wants to know, wants to crack the case wide open.
He's not really expecting to get his chance as he's walking down the street. There's a crowd of people he's weaving through and when they part, there's a thing in the midst of them all. It's just hovering there, slightly transparent, looking creepy as hell. Rowen frowns at this, not-so-covertly looking around for signs of a projector or something. Some kind of childish prank someone is pulling because they can.
Nothing there. So, he concludes, either the projector is hidden well or this thing is the real deal. Quickly, he amends his initial theory when he sees someone get caught in its orbit, their sweater getting turned inside out and shoe laces tying together, the ghoul snickering in its weird way. ]
Hey! Pick on someone else! [ He doesn't hesitate to stride up closer. Someone save this idiot? Or maybe you're being saved? ]

[ Got other ideas? Wanna drink copious pumpkin spice lattes in the cafe with this guy? Go for it! ]
