[Week 2, Monday: Max]

[purrtagonist]

[just like last week, Akira approaches with his specially brewed coffee made out of stolen beans from Wildkat in hand! for the record, he made this ~super stealthily~ in the McDonald's bathroom so no one would see him at work and question his entry fee. just saying]

[he holds the drink out to Max and starts things off with a simple question]

Want to go see a movie?

Comments

[concertmaster]

Sweet.

[he did nothing to deserve that?]

I mean, spoiler, we fucking won't, but sweet.

[purrtagonist]

And here I thought you weren't allowed to give out spoilers, Max.

[concertmaster]

Your guy showing up in this UG would be fucking weird, that's not a real spoiler.

[purrtagonist]

Ah. . . well, that's fair. I prefer him alive, anyway.

[pet shop ahead, bee tee dubs]

[concertmaster]

He probably prefers himself alive too, so. Win/win.

[once there, Max makes a beeline for the snakes.

why?

because he's an enfant terrible why else does he do anything]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . well, Akira was thinking of playing with the kittens, but sure]

Snakes?

[concertmaster]

[squints]

None of these are poisonous, what's the point.

[purrtagonist]

What are you going to do with a poisonous snake, Max?

[concertmaster]

It's for later.

[????????]

[purrtagonist]

Later. . .

[suddenly dubious]

Don't tell me it's for a mission.

[concertmaster]

What? No. I got jackshit to do with those.

[how many times has he said it!!!]

It's for a personal project for when this shit ends.

[purrtagonist]

[ah. huh]

What kind of personal project?

[concertmaster]

[a long, deadpan look]

I'm starting a petting zoo.

[purrtagonist]

With a poisonous snake.

[you're full of bullshit, Max]

[concertmaster]

Yeah, what else would I specifically be looking for a poisonous snake for.

[purrtagonist]

I can think of a lot of things, but none of them are very safe.

[concertmaster]

You sure are catching on. I'm so proud of you.

[:| he moves on from the snakes to go see some kittens!!!!]

Like I said, it's a personal post-Game project. It won't affect anything for you guys.

[purrtagonist]

I'm not really worried about it affecting us.

[sllllight concern?]

[concertmaster]

What do you think it's for?

[now he's just curious]

[purrtagonist]

I'm not really sure, but that's because I can't tell if you just want to own a poisonous snake to look like a badass, or if it's the venom you need.

[I mean if it's the first one Akira can't really blame him]

[concertmaster]

I guess you'll just have to spend the rest of your life wondering. That sucks for you.

[hey look now they have a kitten]

[purrtagonist]

[HOORAY. . . KITTEN. . .]

[pokes at its toe beans??]

You won't even tell me when this is all over and done with?

[concertmaster]

Knowing your soft underbelly? You definitely don't want to know.

[purrtagonist]

[ah]

[hm]

[cccasually]

Planning on assassinating someone?

[Akira he is ten]

[concertmaster]

I've grown past attempted murder. Now I try to groom other people into doing it for me. It helps to provide them the means.

[yeah but a fucked up ten tho]
