SKATE OR DIE (again)

You're choice, Max. Choose wisely!

hello to you too
skate of course
the second part of that question is a little insensitive but its whatever

why are you asking

[ Had this not come during The Worst Month™, Leo might get more, but well, she's feeling pretty to the point right now. ]

Right, fair. I was more thinking about the fact I made this joke to you before, so I had to put a spin on it. My bad.

I wanted to see if you were free to hang out when things are less, you know, dicey.

I'll bring soda and a few snacks from work if that help.

[ Oh, he did, didn't he... She was admittedly a little out of it. A little focused on the demon...great...shit, how many greats was it? ]

its fine its just an undead thing

[ And a "already died once before here" thing, but that one's a secret— ]

anyway
whats your definition of dicey
shits kind of normally that in my neck of the woods

I grant you the right to get my ass with a 'haha fairy' joke at least once in turn. Only fair.

Everyone isn't mushroom-y anymore, but, that whole Flatwoods things is a mess.

My family went there to look, then bailed. I'm pretty sure all the humans living there are gonna outright come flooding back here, so it'll be dice(er).

[ Once again, he would get more, maybe a comment about how she'll only use the free insult if he pisses her off—but Max doesn't have the energy right now. ]

yeah ive toured the area and am not impressed with either side
so what weve determined is dicey isnt really going anywhere for awhile

Its not yet hit the plateau of normal, so still technically dicey. I mean, the whole mushrooms from hell happened too. Half worried that'll crop back up.

Mostly figured I'd reach out and see if you wanted to actually hang out. You know, instead of us colliding during weird horrifying moments in each others lives.

[ A pause. ]

we wouldnt be colliding exactly but id be lying if i said everything wasnt fucked up right now for me

thats not a no its just a warning
i dont know if youve noticed but im kind of a bitch
and i dont want to lash out when someone doesnt deserve it

Max, I'm the most annoying bitch in this peninsula, I am banned from five storefronts in Bavan, I've stolen a car, incited several internet arguments for sport, snorted slime, and have committed a couple probable felonies by human standards. Nearly caused the end of the world back home, that counts for bitch hours too.

I have four siblings, I can take a little lashing out. I mean, my twin and I maul each other verbally constantly.

Think u good. We'll meet in a middle space where you're comfortable. I figured I'd offer an intentional hang-out here.

[ We have that in common, I definitely caused the apocalypse.

Max doesn't say that. ]

alright fine then no complaining if i start biting your head off
metaphorically not literally but of course ill specify

if you laugh at how rusty i am since i grew hooves it MIGHT be literal though

I consider myself entitled to a melodramatic complaint at least once, as is my right. Especially if teeth make contact with my skin!! Or- carapace, exoskeleton?? How do bug bodies work? Beyond that, my complaining is silenced.

Considering I had to readjust thanks to being down a limb, I think we're on even enough ground there. You never know how much you rely on something until its gone, you know?

if you dont laugh you wont have to worry about it

hold on are you writing onehanded right now

No laughing from me, promise.

Yep. It sucks, but I make do.

no sweet prosthetic from your brother?

He accidentally wished himself into a slime. He can't remember basic functions right now. Sooooo, I'm waiting on the arm until he can figure it out.

what the hell thats a thing??
sucks for him and for you too it sounds like

it zaps your mental faculties and people STILL want to be it
weird

Yep, slime brain is 1000% a thing, a problem.
Eh, I'm used to him being a little absentminded, this is just amplified to an extreme.

The shapeshifting must be very cool.

just looks painful and uncomfortable to me but to each their own

anyway im fine meeting up sometime before school tomorrow
which is at night because of the whole nocturnal thing
i just need enough time to swing back and pick up basil

Yeah, I don't get it, but, if it makes people happy good for them.

Yeah, I get you. We can board a little, then bounce back to responsibilities (boooo). I need to actually get back to going to school. Just don't wanna since there are so many notes, and I hate writing with this hand. Typing, yeah, I can do that, writing with a pencil and paper? ew.

yeah i dont have that problem
im a grandma remember
its these newfangled computers that trip me up

I cannot believe it, granny is flexing on a handicapped turtle. I'm calling the police. 911, grandma is beating my ass with her rippling muscles from writing with a pencil!!

I've never been to a school before, so I'm kind of figuring this all out. Pops taught us basic stuff, but, pencils are sooooo made for human hands, terrible. At least computers work for nearly everyone the same.

[ grannys not going at 100 percent either ok i think
No, delete, delete, delete. Just because she's admitted it to Basil, and to herself, doesn't mean Max is really ready to talk about how fucked up her body is, even without the monster transformation. ]

no jury would convict me im dead

right i forgot youd never been to school before and are some kind of turtle guy
if it helps the classes are super small because there arent a lot of insane people who end up in monster hell and decide yeah i wanna go back to school

A perfect crime, omg

Max, how dare you forget! I'm the turtliest of guys! My twin coming a close second.

I've been to like... maybe eight classes. Yeah. Sounds about right. I did some school here! Donnie's been to more than I have.

Like, how do you guys handle it? I mean, everyone else seems to sit still forever and pay attention so easy. It's unfair. I keep losing track of what even we're supposed to be doing.

[Its the ADHD, Leo. ADHD paired with never dealing with a school environment before.]

i dont know
sometimes its hard but usually thats because of something else going on

[ Read: The Depression and The Trauma and The Generally Bad Coping Mechanisms ]

i guess im used to it because it was mandatory back home
you could get a tutor or something but also you dont HAVE to go to school
it is optional

When isn't something going on tho??

I know it's optional, but, if I wanna keep my job I gotta go to school, or at least try, Komeada asked me that much. I kinda like my job, there are so many snacks there...
