Kirk+Max Bodyguard AU
Apr. 24th, 2015 12:15 amThere's a certain amount of scepticism in how Max regards the newcomer. Alex had brought him home, introduced him as someone who was going to help keep Max safe. A bodyguard. No, a babysitter. One little mishap, and Alex was treating him like he was a child, like he couldn't be trusted to take care of himself. Bad enough that he had to live with his brother for a few months (it was that or a psych ward, they'd told him an he'd take Alex over hospital any day), but having someone following him around London, probably reporting back every word to his brother?
No, this was stupid.
Unfortunately no amount of arguing had swayed Alex from his course of action, and now Max had been left in the living room, glaring at the man who was sitting across from him on the sofa. The length of the coffee table between them might as well have been a ravine.

{Max has been a little scarce lately, but right now, he has important things to announce! Delicious food related things.]
Hello Luceti! So, it's maybe a little late but back at home, we have a little event called Pancake Day. Shrove Tuesday for the Christian amongst you.
It is exactly as it sounds. A day to make and eat pancakes. If that isn't a reason to celebrate, I don't know what is.
So...
With the permission of my wonderful housemates at House 51, we'll be having a little party this afternoon. Making pancakes, eating pancakes, probably turning the kitchen into a war zone. Feel free to come along if you'd like! Bring anything that tastes good on pancakes, although we'll have the usual stuff on hand.
Hope to see you there!

Remember Remember
The Fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot.
Even in Luceti.
[Have a grin after that somewhat ominous recital.]
So, November fifth is Bonfire night where I'm from, where we celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes's attempt to blow up the King and Parliament by, well, letting off fireworks and having a massive bonfire and occasionally burning effigies. There's also some really great food because what celebration isn't complete without really nice food?
So yeah, November fifth, once it gets dark so maybe, seven? Outside the battledome and we'll walk out to where we're having the bonfire and fireworks. Dress warmly! Any food or drink is very very welcome.
Hope to see you there!

[Max spends the rest of the next couple of days rushing around, trying to find the requisite foods for Bonfire Night. Feel free to approach him!]

Jan. 30th, 2013 08:04 pm[Hello there Luceti! Here's your friendly English mage showing up, wanting to indulge in possibly one of the greatest days ever invented. He's sitting in the kitchen.]
So, people of Luceti. Next Tuesday happens to be Pancake Day. Uh, Shrove Tuesday if you want to get all official. Which means only one thing...
If you answered pancakes then have a gold star. Or down a shot depending on your age and/or time of day.
But yeah, um, everyone loves pancakes right?
So I'd like to invite everyone, and I do mean everyone, to Community House 7, ground floor kitchen on Tuesday. We'll be making pancakes all day. Different kinds! English pancakes, crepes, blini and I've been assured that we have an expert in the art of Canadian pancakes too. Definitely not to be missed. [He gestures vaguely behind him towards the oven.]
So uh, yeah... pancakes. We should have all the normal toppings and things. Uh, syrup, lemon juice and sugar, more and different syrups. I might even throw some fruit in there. Feel free to bring anything else you'd like to eat or drink. Or come help us set up.
Hope to see you there!
[He's silent for a moment, looking thoughtful and them remembers something.]
Oh yeah. Uh, from about lunch time until... I dunno. Whenever we can't eat anymore.
And uh... that's it.
[The feed cuts off.]
[Action]
[Max can be found shopping for the aforementioned ingredients over the next couple of days and is quite happy to be approached if people wonder why he needs a pack of roughly half a million eggs.]

Jan. 12th, 2013 01:25 am[Waking up is unpleasant to say the least. He was expecting the pain; splitting headache that feels like someone has stuck an axe through his skull is pretty par for the course after what he'd just (just?) done, and the ache right through his body is not unexpected.
The light, the horrible horrible retina burning light, that's more of a surprise. Hello sun! Why is the sun there when he should be in the hospital?
Oh god, how many weeks this time?
Right. Important things. Focus. He isn't in the hospital. He isn't sure if that's a relief when last time he'd done something quite so ill advised, he'd woken up stuck with a million IVs and machines making ominous bleeping noises. There were none of those and yeah, not being stuck with needles was a good thing except... he was fairly sure that he shouldn't be lying on soft grass and looking at some kind of tree.
Oak, probably. Looked that way. An old one by the size and...
Maybe the hospital would have been a good idea.
Eventually he drags himself together enough to make his way out of the woods, grabbing the odd book left nearby. A quick thread of magic leads him towards people, leads him to a village that really doesn't look like anywhere he knows, but it's got people and that's enough for him right now.
He can be found wandering around Luceti, looking rather like death warmed over; pale and with bruised eyes and a bloody nose. He also kind of reeks of magic, since he's too tired to try to hide it right now.]
[Video]
[After he's got himself cleaned up and grabbed his clothes, he makes a video post. he still looks tired and a little dazed, but less like he's just got into a fight.]
Uh, hey. My name's Max. I'm told this is some place called Luceti, alternate realities, all that stuff.
So, hi, I guess.
What I really want to ask is, I'm looking for a friend of mine. It's kind of important. He's called Brendan. Failing that, there anyone from the Commonwealth here who could give me an idea of anything... weird that went down in the last, I dunno, 3 months?
Also, any idea where I can get hold of craft supplies? Embroidery, knitting, weaving? Anything like that.
Thanks for your help.
[OOC: For reference, Max is not entirely human so he smells/feels a little off, if that's the kind of thing your character would notice. Also, let me know if you've any questions about his magic.]
