--- ‧₊˚. Soupy. Everything felt thick, her mind, her body, and everything around her- Even the air felt sticky and physically hurt. The last thing that Max could feasibly remember was being in the junkyard.... And seeing Chloe getting shot. Max felt her blood run cold at that thought and memory. 'Keep your eyes open,' she instructed herself, fighting the heavy feeling that surrounded and permeated her. Fighting, and failing.
--- Soupy. Everything felt thick, her mind, her body, and everything around her. Max struggled to open her eyes again, 'Everything's so bright.. It almost hurts.' It felt like she was in a cycle of awake- But just barely, and periods of blackness. Blanks in her memory with no idea of what happened, or where she was. Nothing.
--- The urge to fall back asleep and lose consciousness was nearly too hard to fight with. Max felt her head drooping and lids feeling heavier with each moment that passed. The din of the lights and, especially, the calling of her name helped to keep her somewhat aware. And awake at least. As she lift her arm to try and rub her eyes, Max found them bound and the panic set in. Her eyes opened wide and that's when she got the first good look at her surroundings.
--- Glancing around, she realised she'd been here before- But on a different end. The dark room. Her gaze cast downward to see she had been bound to a chair, and then her gaze drifted to her left to see that... Max wasn't by herself. And that's who's voice she heard that pulled her out of the drugs. "Nathan?"
@j4nedoes
In felt like a fog had swallowed him up. His eyelids felt heavy. His limbs felt even heavier. His head swam but also felt... dulled. Slow. It wasn't like being drunk or high. It was uncomfortable. Like his skull had been stuffed with cotton. It felt like pressure and it made thinking almost impossible. The moments before were a blur. Flashes like a slideshow. Mark had.... He already felt sick to his stomach but.... At the very least the drugs he shot him up with dulled the fear, right?
Well, if that was the case, how scared was he actually? Because Nathan's fight or flight activated as soon as he remembered the prick of the needle. His heart raced so furiously that it made his chest hurt. Only when he tried to move, did he realize his wrists were bound behind his back. His breathing was rapid but he still couldn't catch his breath. It certainly didn't help that he could feel the sting of tears in his eyes. But even despite his panic, he couldn't move with urgency thanks to the chemicals Jefferson had pumped him full of. This had happened before. And he hated it.
He started to choke. He couldn't breathe. Maybe it was an overdose. Maybe it was the sheer level of panic. Wouldn't it be funny if he died of a heart attack here before Mark killed him? He shut his eyes tightly, allowing the tears to fall from them. And he focused on just breathing. When he opened his eyes, he scanned the room. They were in the Dark Room. They... Because Max was there with him.
He had tried to warn her. Too little too late. He had been afraid. A coward. He should have tried earlier. She had been onto them. He should have known she was in danger. He had hoped she would just give up. At worst be another girl Jefferson wanted to take pictures of. But he knew neither of them were leaving this place alive.
"I'm sorry.... I'm sorry...." He says it through tears. He doesn't know if she can hear him, if she's even awake. He knows it means nothing now. If she would have just stopped after getting him suspended... If he would have done literally anything against Mark... he could have prevented another girl from dying. Now he was here with nothing but mistakes and regrets. He deserved this. But she didn't.
"..........Max.......................?" He didn't have the strength to raise his voice, nor did he struggle against the bindings. This was the end of the line. He had done everything wrong. This was all his fault. "Max... Are.... you....?"

"For those we have lost. For those we can yet save." ;;
‧₊˚. Max tends to take in the world as a spectator a more than actually living it herself. It's safer and more interesting, in a way, to her to watch people from a distance than be in there herself. But one thing that helps with that, actually, is gaming.
‧₊˚. She would consider herself a casual gamer. She doesn't have a fancy set up, she just plays on her laptop. Max doesn't even really play a wide variety of games- Just MMOs (And there's a reason for this). She experimented with W.orld of W.arcraft, but really found her niche and passion with F.inal F.antasy X.IV.
‧₊˚. For Max, what drew her in to the game was a combination of the community, the storylines, the customization, and the set up. It sort of created a perfect storm. The ability to make a character and give it extensive customization really appealed to Max because it helped to really make the character her own. Naturally, she was drawn to M.iqo'te and, oddly, H.yur. When she started out, she picked S.ummoner, and then found R.ed M.age and liked the concept of the balance of the light and dark magics. But, aside from that, the ability to interact with people easier really appealed to her- She was able to talk with others without the pressure of being face to face. In addition, the set up of having a structured and compelling main storyline was good for 'turning her brain off' and being able to enjoy herself- But when she wanted to, the amount of side quests for something else to do helped.
#headcanon *ੈ you try to take its pulse#// so canonically max likes f.inal f.antasy#she also likes mmos and gaming as evidenced by her talks with warren#so i thought it would be more fun for her to be an x.iv fan instead of w.ow#this is absolutely for topaz as well#and me i'll make max's WoL and get meta

--- ‧₊˚. Max opened her mouth, but quickly shut it. 'He wouldn't, would he?' she thought, blue eyes glancing over him. Part of her was searching for.. Something. Some sort of indication of what Nathan was really feeling. 'The past week, everything, he didn't experience. Nathan doesn't remember apologising before dying... It never happened.' Pursing her lips, her gaze dropped back to the ground. "I'm not happy with what happened. But.. But I can assume that there was a reason behind it all; Right?"
"Do you really know that, Max?" The two of them didn't share the same memories. While she had seen him struggle to stay afloat and beg her for forgiveness in the last moments of his life... His memories of this week stopped in the bathroom. He had killed her friend in front of her. Maybe he wanted to believe she wanted to forgive him -- even if he didn't deserve it. Or maybe... Maybe he wanted to tell her to fuck off. "Who... fucking cares? I'm stupid. I'm a coward. That's fucking it. You should hate me."

❝ there are better hills to die on, but i’ve always had a flair for the dramatic, so this one? this one suits me just fine. ❞
❝ would you come with me? i know i could go alone, but everything feels a little less terrifying when you’re beside me. ❞
❝ that’s not the worst thing i’ve ever heard, but it’s definitely in the top ten—and i’ve been to family dinners. ❞
❝ i would love to help you, truly, but i’m currently suffering from a terminal case of 'not my problem' and my doctor says there’s no cure. ❞
❝ could you, for just one second, think about someone other than yourself? i’m not asking for a miracle—just a moment of humanity. ❞
❝ i’m not going to stand here and argue with you about how badly you need rest. when you crash, don’t expect me to catch you. ❞
❝ would you be a dear and shut the hell up? there’s only so much self-centered rambling a person can survive in one sitting. ❞
❝ i know i need help. i know. but asking for it feels like walking into battle without armor—give me a second to find the words. ❞

❝ i didn’t lie to you. i just told the truth in a way that made it easier to swallow. if that’s betrayal, then maybe you never wanted honesty—just comfort. ❞
❝ do you even like spending time with me anymore? because lately, it feels like all we do is circle the same argument and call it conversation. ❞

❝ i want to tell you something. something real. something raw. but i keep getting caught in the storm of my own hesitation. ❞

Portrayal Note;;
‧₊˚. When Max is snooping through files and looks at her own, you can see that she has an IEP; You can also see that it was transferred from her previous high school so it's something she's had in place for a while. Watching Max's actions throughout the game, leads me to think that her IEP is put in place for a combination of Social Anxiety and Autism with low support needs.
‧₊˚. Max has a habit of trying to make herself invisible as to not get called on, notice, spoken with, etc. It's shown in her photography class when she's singled out by Jefferson and then having to go to the bathroom to have a 'Meltdown' when class ends. She admits to herself that she's bad at being social and making friends, only having Warren and Kate at the time the game starts. Others have called her nosy and weird- pointing more to her having trouble socially. She also doesn't really make eye contact with people- something I've noticed replaying and re-watching as well as certain food aversions. She has a lot of different nervous habits and only really starts to flourish when she's in familiar situations- Whether it's because she can rewind and take what she learned and utilise it, or when she's back with Chloe (Her best friend for years.) Yes, this could all be easily explained away and reasoned as severe social anxiety- Which I do believe Max has, but social anxiety can and does often run co-morbid with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

--- ‧₊˚ Max's eyes immediately dropped to the floor as she kept shifting her weight from one foot to another. 'Great question,' she thought, 'You wouldn't do the same, would you?' Curling her lips in over her teeth, the teen's eyes cut back up to Nathan. "You were used. You were scared."
"Why would you ever want to do that?" It made no sense for Max even come see him. Let alone extend an olive branch or whatever.

Florence + the Machine's Lungs Sentence Prompts
A series of prompts taken from Florence + the Machine 's 2009 album Lungs(Deluxe Edition) Change bits and bobs as needed.
01 Dog Days are Over
❝Happiness hit her like a train on a track.❞ ❝She killed it with kisses and from it she fled.❞ ❝The dog days are over, the dog days are done.❞ ❝The horses are coming so you better run.❞ ❝Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father. Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers.❞ ❝Leave all your love and your longing behind, you can't carry it with you if you want to survive.❞ ❝Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come.❞ ❝I never wanted anything from you except everything you had and what was left after that too.❞ ❝Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back.❞ ❝Leave all your love and your longing behind.❞ ❝You better run.❞
02 Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)
❝The looking glass, so shiny and new, how quickly the glamour fades.❞ ❝Was that the wrong pill to take?❞ ❝You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up but will it ever be enough?❞ ❝It's not enough.❞ ❝Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl frozen in the headlights❞ ❝It seems I've made the final sacrifice.❞ ❝We raise it up, this offering.❞ ❝This is a gift, it comes with a price.❞ ❝Who is the lamb and who is the knife?❞ ❝Midas is king and he holds me so tight and turns me to gold in the sunlight.❞ ❝I look around, but I can't find you.❞ ❝If only I could see your face.❞ ❝I wish that I could just be brave.❞ ❝I must become a lion-hearted girl. Ready for a fight before I make the final sacrifice.❞ ❝In the spring, I shed my skin and it blows away with the changing wind.❞ ❝The waters turn from blue to red as towards the sky, I offer it.❞ ❝This is a gift.❞
03 I’m Not Calling You a Liar
❝I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me.❞ ❝I'm not calling you a thief, just don't steal from me.❞ ❝I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me.❞ ❝I love you so much I'm gonna let you kill me.❞ ❝There's a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep.❞ ❝It walks with my legs to fall at your feet.❞ ❝Oh, but for the grace of God, when you kiss me, I am happy enough to die.❞ ❝I'm not calling you a liar.❞ ❝Don't lie to me.❞ ❝I'm not calling you a ghost.❞ ❝There's a ghost in my mouth and it talks in my sleep, wraps itself around my tongue as it softly speaks.❞ ❝When you kiss me, I am happy enough.❞
04 Howl
❝If you could only see the beast you've made of me.❞ ❝Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart.❞ ❝Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart.❞ ❝You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl.❞ ❝My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in.❞ ❝My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out.❞ ❝I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground.❞ ❝Like some child, possessed, the beast howls in my veins.❞ ❝I want to find you, tear out all your tenderness and howl.❞ ❝Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers. Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters.❞ ❝Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest.❞ ❝The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound.❞ ❝Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers.❞ ❝A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night may still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright.❞
05 Kiss With a Fist
❝You hit me once, I hit you back.❞ ❝You gave a kick, I gave a slap.❞ ❝You smashed a plate over my head then I set fire to our bed.❞ ❝My black eye casts no shadow. Your red eye sees no blame.❞ ❝Your slaps don't stick, your kicks don't hit so we remain the same.❞ ❝A kick in the teeth is good for some.❞ ❝A kiss with a fist is better than none.❞ ❝I spilled your blood upon the floor.

07 Drumming Sound
❝There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around.❞ ❝I swear that you could hear it. It makes such an almighty sound.❞ ❝There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground.❞ ❝I ran to the tower where the church bells chime, I hoped that they would clear my mind.❞ ❝As I move my feet towards your body I can hear this beat, it fills my head up and gets louder and louder.❞ ❝I pray that the water will drown out the din.❞ ❝As the water filled my mouth, it couldn't wash the echoes out.❞ ❝I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole till there's nothing left inside my soul.❞ ❝The song has just begun.❞ ❝I can hear this beat, it fills my head up and gets louder and louder.❞ ❝It makes such an almighty sound.❞
08 Between Two Lungs
❝Between two lungs, it was released, the breath that carried me. The sigh that blew me forward, it was trapped between two lungs.❞ ❝We are all too young to die❞ ❝Between two lungs, it was released. The breath that passed from you to me.❞ ❝The breath that slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept.❞ ❝Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft.❞ ❝No more gasping for a breath.❞ ❝I have this breath and I hold it tight and I keep it in my chest with all my might.❞ ❝I pray to God this breath will last, as it pushes past my lips, as I gasp.❞
09 Cosmic Love
❝A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes. I screamed aloud as it tore through them and now, it's left me blind.❞ ❝The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out. You left me in the dark.❞ ❝No dawn, no day. I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart.❞ ❝In the dark, I can hear your heartbeat.❞ ❝I tried to find the sound but then it stopped and I was in the darkness, so darkness I became.❞ ❝You left me in the dark.❞ ❝I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart.❞ ❝I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map and knew that, somehow, I could find my way back.❞ ❝Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too. So I stayed in the darkness with you.❞
10 My Boy Builds Coffins
❝My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails.❞ ❝He can't carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care.❞ ❝My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor. Kings and queens, they've all knocked on his door.❞ ❝They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please.❞ ❝My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day but it's not just for work and it isn't for play.❞ ❝He's made one for himself, one for me too. One of these days, he'll make one for you.❞ ❝Some say it's a blessing, some say it's a curse.❞ ❝My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame that when each one's been made, he can't see it again.❞ ❝He crafts every one with love and with care then it's thrown in the ground, it just isn't fair.❞
11 Hurricane Drunk
❝No walls can keep me protected.❞ ❝You can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane.❞ ❝I'm goin' out, I'm gonna drink myself to death.❞ ❝I like to think, at least, things can't get any worse.❞ ❝No home, I don't want shelter.❞ ❝You can't hold me down because I belong to the hurricane. It's gonna blow this all away.❞ ❝I never felt so alive and so dead.❞
12 Blinding
❝It seems that I have been held in some dreaming state.❞ ❝No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber until I realize that it was you who held me under.❞ ❝Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids. Shaking through my skull, through my spine, and down through my ribs.❞ ❝No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone.❞ ❝No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden.❞ ❝No more dreaming like a girl so in love.❞ ❝No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world.❞ ❝All around, the world was waking. I never could go back because all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open and finally, it seemed that the spell was broken.❞ ❝All my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open.❞
13 You’ve Got The Love
❝Sometimes, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.❞ ❝I know I can count on you.❞ ❝Sometimes, I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care.❞ ❝But you've got the love I need to see me through.❞ ❝Sometimes, it seems the going is just too rough and things go wrong, no matter what I do.❞ ❝Now and then, it seems that life is just too much but you've got the love I need to see me through.❞ ❝When food is gone, you are my daily need.❞ ❝When friends are gone, I know my savior's love is real.❞ ❝Time after time, I think, ❝Oh, Lord, what's the use?❞ ❝Time after time, I think it's just no good.❞ ❝Sooner or later in life, the things you love, you lose but you've got the love I need to see me through.❞ ❝You've got the love I need to see me through.❞
14 Heavy In Your Arms
❝I was a heavy heart to carry, my beloved was weighed down.❞ ❝I was a heavy heart to carry.❞ ❝My feet dragged across the ground and he took me to the river where he slowly let me drown.❞ ❝My love has concrete feet.❞ ❝My love's an iron ball wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall.❞ ❝I'm so heavy in your arms.❞ ❝And is it worth the wait? All this killing time?❞ ❝Are you strong enough to stand protecting both your heart and mine?❞ ❝Who is the betrayer?❞ ❝Who's the killer in the crowd?❞ ❝This will be my last confession.❞ ❝I love you❞ never felt like any blessing.❞ ❝Whispering like it's a secret uttered to condemn the one who hears it.❞ ❝My beloved was weighed down. My arms around his neck, my fingers laced to crown.❞ ❝I was a heavy heart to carry but he never let me down.❞ ❝When he held me in his arms, my feet never touched the ground.❞
