Video. happy birthday loser

Who: Max and you!
Broadcast: Video.
Action: Starstruck.
When: April 12th! Max's birthday. :)

(future-dated because I don't know my availability tomorrow lmfao)

[The screen is black.

There's quite a lot of shuffling; a sound of cardboard being knocked on or jostled around. Max's tell-tale hummmmmmm is heard. Footfalls. They walk in a circle around the mysterious box. Tap tap. It's suddenly clear: the video feed is inside a box! And slowly, with great caution, the man clearly identified by grumble as Max Rockatansky opens this cardboard box...

Only to have an explosion of confetti and whistles in his bewildered face.

He disappears from view for a moment, the sound of a gun cocking and going off, probably scaring any poor soul watching. The top of the box explodes with shotgun buckshot, and as he slowly wanders back over, his brow is furrowed and there's confetti on his head, in his facial fuzz. He slowly reaches down into the box... and pulls out a can of dog food. Dinki-Di's. His confusion is palpable. On the screen, where Max can't see, it flashes in bold, glittery letters:



The birthday theme plays on the loudspeakers.

And Max, realizing just what's happening, GROANS IN DISPLEASURE.

For fuck's sake.

As he rips the little camera from inside a box filled with dog food cans:]


[grmblegrumble] Smegheads[grumble] fuck off— [grumble] head up your ass [grumble]

[... But you can find him later in the Starstruck cargo bay, spooning dog food from a can into his mouth.

He switches between giving Rock the Dog a spoonful too, of course. He's gotten better about sharing, y'know.]

[That he's swearing like that at the end is actually a good indication that he's not absolutely thrown off his rocker, but considering the explosion and gun going off - Furiosa deems it work checking up. So, here she comes into the cargo bay. She's taking her time; she's not exactly worried, and seeing Max eat dog food put any of what slight fears she may have had to rest.]

Really? Finally access to a full kitchen and you're stealing food from dogs?

[Maybe not as chiding sounding as it could be, but then again she's been in the wastelands; dog food would have been a welcome reprieve.]

[she lasts through the entire thing without laughing, until it gets to the grumbling cursing and she can't help it.

There's still laughter in her voice when she opens up the feed]


My, happy birthday, dear.

Because I am usually amused by something you are saying or doing.

I see . . .

[she says, in a tone where she's clearly confused]

They make food that is only for dogs?

Good to hear, hand it over.

[She motions for the spoon as she takes a seat next to him.]

That's a good look for you, by the way. Shiny. [Joking, possibly.]

[Maggie is unable to help that she's laughing too. Sorry Max. At least she hangs in there til the end when there's a glimpse of glitter in his beard and he's cursing under his breath.]

Happy birthday, I guess?

[The communication pops up, Natasha looking amused and sympathetic in equal measure—both subtle but present.]

That's a hell of a birthday dinner. Bet your crew mates could do better, if you asked them.

Didn't say it was. Just saying... if you wanted, you could probably do better.

[Wastelanders and their wonderfully refined taste palates. Furiosa takes a couple bites of it and hands it back to Max, giving him a small grin.]

There a problem with leaving it?

Ochako? [She tilts her head a little, softening the question.] I don't know about Ochako, but I bet if you really wanted, we could find someone who can make pancakes.

Somehow I get the idea you're never really a happy camper. Even on your birthday.

[Grumble is his default setting, after all.]

Though I'd be unhappy too if I got glitter thrown in my face.

Mm, one must eat what one can, but . . . I do not see how dog food would be any different from other food. Dogs eat meat, yes?
