Who: Furiosa and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: Iskaulit
When: throughout the week

[Furiosa is more or less fully recovered from her ordeal on the snowy mountain. There's a lingering cough, and stiffness where she'd been banged up from the avalanche, but she's out and about and on the move. She's come to the gardens for a little bit of exercise, helping tend to the plants, while getting some quiet reflection and time around green things. She's still missing a replacement prosthetic while Tyrion works her up a new one, but it doesn't seem to slow her down any.]

[She spends some time just walking around the ship and seeing what other establishments have been popping up. She might stop in the Málum for a drink and a bite to eat.]

[Eventually she ends up back at the gardens for a rest and takes a seat with her back against a tree. She's playing through the audio file Atroma had left her a while ago - twelve hours of ambient truck noises. She's been thinking a lot about home, lately, and remembered Miss Giddy and how she was instrumental in getting Furiosa and the Wives the chance to escape.]

We had History Men and Women in my world; people with the past written out on their skin, stories always on their tongue, full of wisdom and ... and inner sort of strength they gave to others.

[In some small way, Furiosa has felt the need to fill that role here; in as much giving strength to others. The story telling? Not so much, and the physical branding ... she had enough of that with Immortan's symbol at the back of her neck.]

How did you share your history, in your world?

[Max has been keeping to himself, trying not to get too nosy and stifling when it comes to Furiosa's space. She'd scared the holy hell out of him, made him want to linger and make sure she was going to really be okay — but now that the worst has passed, he figures he can sigh a breath of relief and come check up on her without looking too concerned (he's totally not!! everything is fine!!).

After her post, though, he can't help but have memories of home get him wistful, too.

He wanders over, hands in his pockets, sheepish.]

You'll have a lot of history to keep track of.

For the Citadel.

[kill_switch]

[She looks up at him with a small, crooked smile. She'd scared herself, too, truth be told; Warboys and sandstorms she can handle but caught out in the snow like that ... there were a few moments she didn't think she was coming back from it. Everything else was a little hazy, she might have imagined Max holding her close to keep her warm after the girl had found her.]

You think ink is a good look for me?

[She shifts a little so there's room next to her against the tree if he wants it.]

[theroadwarrior]

[It'd look better on you than on him, that's for damn sure.

He cocks his head to the side and considers it, though. And tries not to scan her body to imagine it, because — that'd be just weird, Max, don't do that.]

Think you could make anything look good.

[............... He didn't mean for that to be flattery on the edge of flirtation.

But you know him, he's oblivious.]

[kill_switch]

[She knows him, which makes the comment amusing in its own way. But, it gets her thinking.]

You know what, maybe I should. At least, some things from home. [Names, she's thinking. The Wives, Valkyrie.] I've already been here a year, who knows how long it'll be before I get back. There are more than a few people I don't want to forget.

[theroadwarrior]

[He nods.]

Might be a way to remember people here, too. For when you go home.

[He figures... this place... it's worth remembering.

People here. Like for him, remembering people from the Tranquility...]

[kill_switch]

Yeah. That's a good idea.

[Speaking of which,] When I was out in the snow, after the avalanche ... I remembered a girl. I think she saved me.

[theroadwarrior]

[He nods, validating her memory.]

The girl. She has, um. Powers.

Pulled a knife on her once. And almost hit her with a wrench.

[A pause.]

But she surprised me.

[kill_switch]

I'm glad she surprised you sooner rather than later, for both our sakes.

[Not surprised Max was threatening little girls.] Let her know I appreciated her help.

I'm not ever going out in the snow again if I can help it.

[theroadwarrior]

[He huffs something suspiciously close to a laugh.]

Not really warming up to it. I'd rather sweat in the sun.

[kill_switch]

[She got him to laugh. She looks over at him and quirks a small smile.]

I'm with you there.
