My name is Max. ([personal profile] theroadwarrior) wrote in [community profile] driftfleet2017-11-28 01:27 pm

Voice/Action.

Who: Max and you.
Broadcast: Fleetwide Voice!
Action: Starstruck, Iskaulit.
When: Now-ish. Or some such.

(If you have a wildcard, lemme know, we can thread something here if you have a thing in mind!)

[Voice.]

... I need some... help. [Ugh, no wastelander actually likes to admit that.] Work fine with traditional machinery, oldtime stuff. No good at the advance junk other than pilotting, though. Want a leg that works well -- not just the usual prosthetic, something good, something sturdy enough for whatever happens next. Fighting, climbing, running -- need to be better n'before.

... Can pay for it, too.

[He huffs, rubbing his neck off the feed. His bangs are getting too long and unruly again.]

Just need it to get me standing on my own again.

[Action.]

[What a shitshow, these last few months have been. Max has, of course, avoided a lot of the last place thanks to being either sick or not quite of strength to move and help with the situation; frustrating, and certainly not without annoyed grunts or grumbles, but he's working on it. He's moved from wheelchair to a crutch, and so -- the Starstruck will find that he's pretty damn close to his usual self again.

Instead of hobbling on a bum knee, he's clacking around with one good leg, which is better than being dead as far as anyone's concerned, yeah? He's determined, in his usual hard-to-read silence, of not letting himself fall behind -- if he's going to dedicate his limited patience and loyalty to his crew (he's not saying the f-word, either), he's going to do it right. That means visiting the Iskaulit gym and making sure he doesn't go all weak in the knee or anything. It's the first time he's started actually leaving the Starstruck after the meteor incident, and it is admittedly a relief to not stare at the same walls daily now.

He also doesn't... sleep in the shuttle anymore. He sleeps in his room, with a bed. It's a miracle.

Ch-ch-changes, like the Bowie song on the record player'll sometimes belt out. He's still kind of stingy about the record player. But c'mon, you have to give him some slack. He's doing his best here. And speaking of record players...

The atroma sent him something, in a normal fed-ex styled envelope.

... It's a generic record.

For Christmas music.



...

Feel free to catch Max on his crutch, hobbling off toward the airlock.]

[ hello max. remember him?? he shows up when you need things and basically at no other time. which is better than the alternative, probably, but it's just because max's problems are more interesting than most people's. you know that and he's also important to peggy which makes him important to howard by extension. ]

Thank you. I've been so bored.

My, he said the "h" word. [of course she's going to tease]

If you find someone decent, pass their name along to me? Mine broke in the bloody crash.

I can help with that. [Merlan pops up after seeing that Stark has Max well in hand.] From what I gather, Mr. Stark is more than capable. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I can get you up and running in no time. If you need any magecraft woven into it, we can work on that as well. I'm accustomed to the whole magic and machine blend. Built a car with some pretty sweet features.

I - wait a minute, you are familiar with magic being used with technology?

[well that's super useful]

You are such a brat.

[she'll call him on it.

. . . is he being serious?]


My ship was one of the ones that crashed on the last planet.

Mhm. I've been working on that back home for awhile. Demon proofed my car pretty well. With the training I'm getting from Khadgar, it's much easier to work out how to integrate the two without the interference I was getting at home.

Much easier.

[Merlan shrugs lightly and offers a smile.]

So.

Whatever you need I can probably figure out in no time and I'd love to work with you on it. It doesn't matter where we work, really. Iskaulit, Twin Roses, wherever I've enough space. I've got a nice set of tools since I'm one of two Engineers.

Goodness.

[she'll never get over how helpful and nice people can be sometimes. It really throws her off] I - suppose I could bring it to you, then? Since you have so kindly offered.

I do not know if it needs demon proofing, but it already runs on magic. That is how it is able to function like a proper hand.

[you suck at words, Max]

Do you mean to my hand? When I tried to brace my fall, it couldn't take the weight and the fingers snapped out of the . . . joints? That is the word, yes?
darksmokerising: (Default)

[personal profile] darksmokerising 2017-11-29 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely, mate. Bring it on over and I'll see what's busted and you can worth with me on any upgrades or whatever you want. That'll be a joy to work on. My world has a buncha crap demons ruining things but I can do so many other things.

[Two thumbs up for magic shit, right? Merlan is so clearly in love with both magic and mechanics it's ridiculous. And it it shows. She definitely wants to play around with that hand...in a super helpful way.]

[ he smiles sweetly. yes hello max. though they're super great at avoiding one another, he's good at milking this when they always inevitably meet again. ]

The one and only. [ howard makes a vague flourish with his hand, just barely suppressing an eyeroll at the question. ]

You still don't trust me, pal? Don't I always come through for you?

Whenever you are free, then, I am not a busy person. [she's a lazy person . . . most of the time] You can take it apart and whatever all you want.

[ they've been through hell. truth is, even after all she'd seen throughout the war and after, none of it has ever been quite as shambolic as this. but peggy has reverted willfully to keeping the stiffest of upper lips. why should she crumble, even in the face of man-eating hoards? and now, in the aftermath...

she tries to hone in on the good things. like the progress max makes when she finds his shuttle empty during her early morning workout. somehow, that helps her smile to herself as her shoes pound the treadmill. and later, when she's fussing over tea, some of that pride lingers when max crutches his way into the kitchen. ]


You're getting devilish quick.

[ peggy glances at the pot and glances at the mugs. want a cuppa? ]
mucked: (☂ etherized upon a table)

action.

[personal profile] mucked 2017-12-01 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's a relief to be able to communicate so wordlessly, so comfortably, with max. it saves her the pain of being forward with her generosity -- and saves him the indignity of accepting it. instead, she proceeds as though the question was never asked and the agreement never given. to the outside observer, this might just be peggy carter foisting a cup on him for the hell of it.

she pours two from the steeping pot. one for her, one for max. ]


Is that so? What bee has got under your bonnet now?

[ she places one mug in front of him and then sits across the table. ]

[ FINE. be that way. no if he was that easily discouraged they wouldn't even be having this conversation. and he notices the first name thing don't think he doesn't. ]

What do you say, then? Have one more good throw in you? [ he tips his head, this is happening bro just accept it. ] Why don't you send a list of specs to my comm unit and I'll get to work.

Yes, just the hand. Nothing else was serious.
