Who: Chloe Price and open!
Broadcast: Fleetwide, accidental
Action: For people on the Marsiva, if they like!
When: Right now! And on until shuffle

[There was a young woman with blue hair passed out on the floor of Marsiva. She looks maybe nineteen or twenty, her clothing seems to be a tad damp, and she shifting occasionally as if having a nightmare of some kind.]

-on't you forget about me..

[The words come out in a mumble against the floor, and maybe it's the way they sound in a spaceshiip that yanks her out of her sleep, but a second later her eyes flare open and she sits up in a shock.]

WAIT I- What? [Whatever she was expecting, the Marvisa was clearly not it, and after a quick, panicked look around, she scrambles to her feet.]

Okay, calm down. Maybe this a good thing. Okay. Okay [She is clearly talking to herself, with no idea anyone is watching. Trying to calm herself down, probably.] Still alive. What does that even...

[She finally seems to have noticed a nearby window and the void of space beyond it because she freezes, then immediately darts over to it, staring out for a long breath, one hand coming up to press against the glass, making sure it was there.]

...What the fuck. Am I in space?!

Shit. Well that hella answers that, doesn't it..

You told me. Or you're gonna tell me. Time travel is fuckin' weird, girl.

I was... shit, I was fixing it when I showed up here. I never should have tried messing with the past that way in the first place...

I told myself if I got things back to normal, I'd never do it again. [ She also told herself she could never tell Chloe. Guess she fucked that up, though. ]

Nah it's...I get why you did it, okay? I probably would've done the same damn thing.

Just. Seriously Max.

What's the last thing you remember?

I mean... if you know about it, at least it means I did get it fixed...

[ She gives a sigh. A deep one. ]

That is the last thing I remember, though.

But that whole thing was... when you dropped me back off at Blackwell. After breaking into Frank's RV. You were upset about Frank and Rachel... and about everything else, really.

...how long after that has it been for you?

Uh.

[Jesus. That felt like a thousand years ago, had it seriously only been the day before? So Max didn't...didn't know about the storm, not really. Or Rachel. Or having to choose. Or their kiss. Jesus Christ.]

[A lot of emotions play out on Chloe's face before she manages to settle them.]

Okay. Alright. Uh. That was Wednesday for me. So it's, like, Friday now.

Friday, huh? So it hasn't been too long at least.

Wait, shit, the tornado! Chloe, did we...?

[Chloe actually laughs softly at Max's surprise, though she isn't really sure why. And then she smiles and shakes her head. It's a...sad smile? Just around her eyes. Fuck, why was she so bad at hiding things.]

No, it's...it's fine. You did it Max. You stopped the storm. You saved everybody in town.

Supermax saving the day, just like I said you would.

[It was not, technically, a lie. Chloe wasn't in town when Max saved everyone else.]

[ Do you know who is actually not all that great at reading people? Max.

SO. ]

Oh thank God. [ Says the atheist girl. ]

I mean, not that I ever had any doubt. [ She did, but just hearing that everything turns out okay is enough for now. ] There's nothing the two of us can't do when we're together, right?

Yup. Supermax and her faithful companion, right? Totally saving the day.

[Okay. She believed it. Chloe disappears from the camera for a minute, holding it down by her waist as she keeps walking along. Okay. How fucking hard was this? Max believed her, of course, and she wasn't really lying...what else should she tell her? About Jefferson? About Rachel? About them? Was there even a them?]

[On goodbye kiss for the dead girl wasn't a 'them.']

[She has herself collected again when she brings the phone up.]

So, look, I don't know how half this shit works but I'm probably not supposed to tell you too much, right? Like, in sci-fi movies telling people about their future always fucks everything up.

[ Max, being oblivious, continues to think everything is okay. ]

I don't know if I'd go that far. We've done a lot thanks just to that - plus my powers.

But you don't have to be in any rush to tell me all the details if you don't want to. We've got all the time in the world here.

Yeah...we don't, don't we.

[Maybe this really was her reward for being selfless and stupid. Or who knows. But 'all the time in the world' at least made the teen smile. BUt she had to get off the phone and calm down and have a cigarette before she started thinking again and wound up crying.]

Look, I'm gonna go take a walk around, see what I can see over here. I'll give you a ring later, alright?
