video/action | I'VE BEEN BEDEVILED
Who: Max Rockaaaaaaatansky (At Age 22)
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Starstruck, or at the Iskaulit bars!
When: Today.
[Augment glitches really are a bitch and a half, aren't they?
Max wakes up — different. Young, fresh-faced, barely over into his twenties. He wakes up in a shuttle, and boy, his mind is reeling; this isn't home. This isn't home at all, it's something out of some old sci-fi movie on the television, something a buncha' jockeys'd muck around on smoking some seriously fucked up mull. He knows things, certain particularly strange things: like how to pilot this strange shuttle contraption, like how the parts work, how they purr. He knows not to damn well airlock himself, knows how to use the phone. This is a phone, right?
He steps out of the shuttle, an old crippled dog whines at him. Ah, a friend, his only friend in the world at the moment. He crouches down and rubs at the dog's ears, eyes still glued in wonder at the room around him.]
Ahhh, hey, old mongrel, hey. Don't suppose you've got any clue what's going on?
[A pause.]
Right. A dog out of something science fiction that speaks a lick of English would be a stretch. Atta boy. Alright, alright, sit. Thatta' boy.
[He pats the dog's chest, stands up, adjusts his jacket... which is clean, but it's... different, in some ways. Where's his damn sleeve? Someone take a switchblade to it while he was unconscious or what? He puts a hand on the gun at his hip, in the holster, wandering quietly through the corridors of the Starstruck. Nobody pay him any mind, he's just... y'know. Exploring. The augment's still a bit jacked up, so the information is sketchy at best, but he's getting bits and pieces about the place. Jessie and Sprog aren't here. That much is clear, and it concerns him the longer he wanders (and questions the thing strapped on his leg, what the hell).
He can be found just about anywhere, poking at the squared space food on platters, investigating the rooms, hell, even just running a hand along the wall of a shuttle, interested on how it works.
What the bloody fuck is all this, guys.]
[VIDEO]
[Somewhere during all that — a broadcast. Hey look, it's some young buck transmitting from the Starstruck, don't mind him.
His accent is certainly more pronounced. Less gruffy. In fact, it's downright high in comparison to Max's grumbles and mumbles. Clear. Legible.]
If someone told me I was gonna wake up on some slick spaceship, I woulda' told them they've gone troppo and put them under observation. Starstruck — fancy name, sure is good for any means of transport. But. Why'm I here? Where's Earth, and where's the next space-cab to get there? Don't tell me there's some big conspiracy I wasn't privy to — honestly, I'm having a helluva' time trying to come to terms.
I need to go back home. Or at least get to bring people back here with me. Hell, I'll take that; as it stands, I got too much waiting for me that I can't go leaving behind, but I could be willing to move to space if I get a few people for the ride. Otherwise... No thanks.
And he way I hear it, we're all stuck here until these Atroma give us a punch-card out. Don't suppose anyone could tell me where to find one, because while I'm dying to take one of these shuttles out for a spin, I'm not too impressed by being stolen away by a bunch of dickheads in astro-suits to get the opportunity.
... They even took my badge... Buncha' bastards.
[He blinks, still a bit dazed, like he's living in a dream.]
I'm gonna go grab me a heart-starter at the bar, think I'll need one or five.
[BRB GOING TO YOUR BARS ON THE ISKAULIT. Feel free to meet him there, he's not doing much but staring off into space in thought.
OOC: Max is younger Max (who has a family and is a cop yoooo) for 2 weeks thanks to an augment glitch! Enjoy the improved personality while you can.
Also don't make fun of my attempt to give him Mad Max Slang. Y'bastards.

Not usually. But I was hoping to ambush a bored bartender into a game, or perhaps another patron looking for distraction? I don't suppose you would be either of those two?
no subject
I'm not much of a barkeeper, but I guess I'm another patron who could use a distraction. I don't know if I'm much good at board games. Maybe that's a benefit to you.
no subject
I'd be happy to teach you, and that would suit me just as easily as trouncing a novice, unless you consider both of those to be two sides to the same wheel. We learn far more in defeat, after all.
[He continues setting up the pieces as he talks] Have you played chess before at all?
no subject
Would I be an uncivilized crook if I said not really?
I preferred running amuck out in the world, skinning my knees or falling into even stupid situations.
no subject
[Not intentionally anyway. He often manages that kind of thing in the comfort of his own home. It's a talent]
Besides, civilization is largely a matter of perspective.
no subject
Sounds like you got a lot of stories under your belt, then.
no subject
[He scooped up two of the pawns and held them out between his finger and thumb]
Black or white?
no subject
Fella, I'm not picky. Whatever you give me is the one that's gonna lose.
