Video/Action. SPONSOR DROPS AREN'T SO BAD I GUESS.

Who: Max Rockatansky
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Starstruck
When: Sometime during the event, probs today, w/e w/e.


[Max is sitting casually in a chair with a messily opened sponsor drop box next to him; he's growing a considerable beard now, looks like. Easily five inches by now. Someone please make him shave it. Anyway, he's sitting very relaxed with a paper in his hands -- a postcard that some of you may inexplicably find left for you, courtesy of the rumor mill and the Atroma. You'll find it reads the following:




He doesn't read it outloud, but Max doesn't seem too bothered by this revealing of rumors, however. He's chewing on god knows what, rubbing his chin, something bright and colorful sitting in his lap that is not quite visible enough to be identified.]

... F'you got some postcard about me...

Mmm. S'all true. [He SHRUGS.] ... Stole only two chickens, though.

[Oh, someone's coming into the cargo bay of the SS Starstruck.

Excuse him, he's lifting up his sponsor gift -- what appears to be something titled BERF GUN on the side.

The feed ends, but beware, people who enter the cargo bay of the Starstruck may very well be shot by Max Rockatansky.

By one of these.

... It's, uh. Training. For you. Yes, training you for reflexes, and not because he wants to shoot you with foam darts.

And yes, the whole place will be littered with the those squishy foam bullets. LITTERED.

He's so fucking happy to be off that water planet, guys.]

How do you accidentally steal a pig and two chickens? I mean, pigs are pretty big when they're not babies.

..Was it at the same time?

And you got away with stealing a wagon full of animals?

[ That's impressive. ]

I guess in a way you saved them, then.

[ Or ate them. But saved them from baking to death and being wasted. ]

Better than letting them die for nothing, right? They could have died and you not had food.

[ He shrugs. Hey man, he's eaten dog before, he gets it. ]

[ you know, she was gonna ignore the postcard. why should it bother her? rumours are rumours -- and anything she doubted about max she felt confident she could suss out for herself. but then comes his broadcast, his bold confirmation, and then she starts to look at the postcard a little more closely.

max sends rock out to distract peggy when he finishes off jarvis's snack dishes left on the starstruck. oh, hell no.

here comes the captain, a-roaring her way into the cargo bay. ]
Max! [ she shouts, fire on her breath. ]
mucked: (☂i searched for form and land)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-03 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
-- Max?

[ her indignation twists sharply into a query when she fails to find him as easily as she might have hoped. and yet, she's unbothered. unconcerned, really, except for a burning desire to avenge all her stolen snacks. she crosses the cargo bay, heading in the direction of max's shuttle. ]

Don't tell me you're hiding. Never took you for a coward.

[ goad. prompt. tease. ]
mucked: (☂ we will save your cousins)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-03 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ by contrast, there's nothing stealthy in her step. peggy's heels ring hard against the cargo bay floor -- and nor does she put much effort into keeping cover between herself and the shuttle. not only is it a question of trust, but also one of odds. this is her ship. ]

Well, then. [ she announces to the space -- walking the perimeter of the shuttle, but not yet peering inside. ] Maybe he's finally crawled out of hiding now that we've left the water.
mucked: (☂ you have made)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-03 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ -- peggy stops talking out loud. instead, she gives the area one last cursory glance. there's max's workbench, of course. his record player sitting out next to a crate of records. funny, though, that not even rock is in attendance. she doesn't remember seeing him curled up elsewhere on the ship -- but, then again, she hadn't checked everywhere.

giving up (or perhaps considering hailing him on the comms instead), peggy turns to leave. ]
mucked: (☂ oh no not me)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-05 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what the dickens--

so, first? something smacks her in the rear. the rear. the sharp gasp is hardly dignified -- nor is the way she spins on her heel. and then three more follow and she's diving behind a tower of cargo crates. ]


MAX -- [ she shouts. roars, more like. it's him, isn't it? can't be anyone else. ] Bastard. You shot me in the...Max!
mucked: (☂ in that detective motion picture)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-05 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's so angry with him. god above, she's fuming. but when his awful laughter cuts through the recycled air of the cargo bay, peggy can't help but lean back against the crates and allow herself a small smile. indulgent; proud. not so long ago they'd sat in his smelly shuttle and he'd as good as told her he was a cursed man -- but today he's laughing, and perhaps she can spare herself a bit of dignity in service of that laughter. ]

Oh, very funny. [ she shouts across the bay. given where the shots came from, and from where his noises erupt, she's got a better idea of where he is -- if not his exact position. ] Fire on your captain from behind, will you?
mucked: (☂ stamped on my heart)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ aha, his voice helps. peggy bites down on another smile while pressed hard against the cargo crates. she needs one, maybe two, more vocalizations from him to figure out precisely where he's hiding.

playing the victim: ]
And so you decided to mutiny?
mucked: (☂ waiting for the hint of a spark)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-07 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all -- [ she lies. ] I'm trying to track you by your smell.
mucked: (☂ oh what a noble)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps that's why I was coming to find you -- [ another lie, still called out over the hazards between the pair of them. ]
mucked: (☂ in that detective motion picture)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I know you're up high, Max -- [ she challenges. if only to try and flush him back down to the ground level. ] I can read the trajectory of a bullet as well as the next agent.
mucked: (☂ etherized upon a table)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-04-15 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ not a goddamned peep. hm. which means, of course, that she'll have to try and draw his fire once again. figure out his exact piece of high ground. and, perhaps, climb it.

so she makes a break from one tower of crates to another -- showing a flicker of herself as she weaves to her destination. ]

I'm framing mine.

Hm. I think I've had my tone with idiots. Maybe I'll look for a man of distinction.

[She's joking, she knows no such thing exists.]

Well, you are distinctly grumpy, for one.
