A WORD FROM YOUR SPONSORS: TREAT YO' SELF (or don't)
Who: Max Rockatansky
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Starstruck
When: Lately, idk. Today??
[The feed opens up rather oddly, but then, Max almost never posts anything. So that in of itself is weird. The video catches Max wandering back and forth in the cargo bay of the Starstruck — apparently working on some minor damages to one of the shuttles. Likely a piloting gig, considering how much he'd been out of the ship and making chips on the side. He looks like an oil monkey right about now, black grease on his forehead and a general unkempt-ness about him from his time without bothering to trim his hair at all, in any way. Who has time for that crap? Not Max.
He makes a confused sort of sound off the screen, and then stops in front of the table that the feed is streaming from with a... box? It appears to be a new arrival, a confusing thing that Max can't figure out the original delivery time on. The label on it, if you turn your head, appears to say:
TO:MEATHEAD
BUTCHER
MR. SURVIVALIST
PILOT TWO
FOOL
POUTYLIPS
FROM: YOUR SPECIAL SPONSOR!
Max clicks the metallic locks on either side and with a HISSS, the box opens. What could be inside...?! Hell if he knows. He stares unimpressed at the giftbasket crammed full of... particular hygienic products. Shaving cream, razors, body spray, shampoos —]
[The name, of course, is actually just generic, changed just slightly from their Earth counterpart. XES is clearly more sensual than AXE. Not that Max is familiar with any of them anyway, but still. He continues his unimpressed stare as an electronic voice emits from said box. It kind of sounds like SIRI. Also something he is not familiar with.]
"Congratulations on your sponsor gift! Mysterious quiet type, what a sale! Here's a little something on behalf of sponsors watching; maybe a little self-maintenance is just the trick to make the lady viewers—"
[Max calmly shoves the box off the table, out of sight, with a great clatter.]
No.
[Can he get back to work now, that was a waste of his life he's not getting back. If you'll excuse him, he'll be going back to his next line of work: shoving non-perishable cans of food into one of the supply closets with the grim expression of a man who's Lumberjack Slam arrived to his table at Denny's cold. All while continuing — such a rebel — to smell like a sweaty human car engine.]

Re: [ action ]
[ Though it sounds like a depressing way to live - waiting for the next terrible thing to happen. ]
What do you think might happen?
[Action.]
Just about anything.
Mostly likely'd be... raiders. People out there ready to take what's ours.
Or, mmm. Atroma getting sick of our current, ah... rosters. Cutting us off. Torture. Could stop sending food. They already don't supply enough room. It'd be easy for them.
Re: [Action.]
[ He won't deny it or be blind to it. They do live under the Atroma's whims. ]
Have you managed to come up with plans for all of these scenarios?
[Action.]
Can't prepare for everything, but. Mm. Filling up on supplies in the supply compartments. Water, food. There's enough to keep the crew alive for a few weeks, if we spread it very thin.
Re: [Action.]
I'm sure Ahsoka appreciates such thoroughness.
[Action.]
Not sure why she would.
[He had. Actually sent Ahsoka off after giving her his well-paying gig.
He motions at the supplies.]
Selling her some of this when she comes back.
[So. You know. Don't take it all.]
Re: [Action.]
[ He claims some shaving cream and a razor. He then scrummages for a couple of credits and hands them out to Max. ]
