Wastelander 101
Who: Furiosa & You!
Broadcast: Video, Open
Action: Bridge, First Breath
When: Today
[The feed opens on Furiosa's face. She's tired, not exhaustively so, but she feels like she's been doing a lot of damage control for Max, and on top of that just generally worrying about Angharad, now that the other woman is here.]
We're all here, from different worlds, different societies and cultures, which makes for miscommunication and culture shock. I've been doing a lot of explaining for the world that Max, Angharad, and I come from, and I figured ... I might as well just make a public post about it. ['How to deal with Max' and 'Look at Angharad wrong and I cut you' were probably too ... forward.]
In our world we are known as Wastelanders. That's all there is. Miles in every direction is scorched and poisoned Earth, with the occasional ruin or dwindling oasis. Anyone who's learned to survive in my world has done so through hardening themselves, through paranoia, and through cunning. We are not people to surprise. We are not people to touch without consent. This may be a little late coming, [Max's victims, she's talking to you] but hopefully a general notice will ... help avoid future incidents.
I held rank in my world. Imperator, something of ... a General, I think, in other comparable societies. If you have questions, you can come to me.

[Which, Furiosa wasn't. Sure, there may have been the odd time or two of having to prove herself against the other Imperators and drink them under the chassis with a rare gift of moonshine, but generally she didn't like the idea of being impaired.]

Sarcasm.
[ And yes, it was in fact, mostly sarcasm. A difficult thing to get across when your tone is always kind of flat and unamused, though Dean still drinks more than his fair share. Even then, he kind of wants to compare notes. Wants to find someone to talk to who understands, who he doesn't have to bullshit in a ridiculous kind of way with. ]

Hmm. Coffee, then? First Breath. [It's not the most confident she's been. She's already lived in her dying world, she's not sure how much energy she has for someone else's. She's definitely not curious. But, the way he scrubs his face ... maybe she can help him find some peace with it. Maybe she can help him find his Green Place.]
no subject
Can't say no to coffee. [ Which is true, in that he's still not used to it being a thing that's accessible here. But he has no intention of truly throwing all the problems of his world at her. Nobody needs to deal with another apocalypse on top of the one they've already endured and yet he knows he's the one desperate to dive into anything that's not his own life. ]

[So there you go, Dean, open invitation from someone who's still not sure about you.]
no subject
[ Although really, an open invitation means the potential of being popped one the moment he says the wrong thing (and he says a lot of wrong things.) Except when has that ever been not true over the course of his life. ]
