If you're asking ME for tips on how to be romantic, you might be screwed, Kip. I've never even had a romantic relationship.
[She could suggest he sacrifice a whole town to save Scott, or pull the trigger on a gun (unloaded, but Max hadn't known that) at a knife-wielding drug dealer to protect him... but she wouldn't actually recommend those things. Much funner romantic gestures exist, surely.]
Thanks... I'll think about it. Seriously. I had sort of been considering getting myself a more professional grade camera for a graduation present too...
[Is it dorky to get yourself a graduation present? Maybe.]
Maybe I should have snapped a shot of that graffiti and put it on my own whiteboard outside my dorm lol. Joking aside though, you're right. And spreading knowledge about the history of the marginalized is a good step toward fostering that kind of understanding, I think.
oh my gawd kip vet him for WHAT
I didn't feel the same way about him as he did for me. Maybe I could have at some point? I dunno. Things just didn't pan out that way. He's a good guy, though.
[...thinking about it, it HAD kind of hurt to see him with Stella in that alternate timeline, though. What was that about? Ugh.
The answer is that you're a messy bisexual disaster, Max. At least she could admit it a little bit in her own thoughts.]
I'm already screwed, I'm phoning a friend. Either you can let me sail down the river or you can make something up.
At least it'll be easy to shop for you for Christmas and birthdays. Maybe you can teach me to take pictures without my thumb getting in the way.
[ He takes decent pictures, he's just adamant about keeping her mind elsewhere. Namely off of the negativity from her own world. If acting a fool gets her to smile? It's worth it.
And now he has an idea for a gift for her, a little more personalized than a camera. ]
Yeah, that's how you give them the proverbial middle finger. Honestly, knowing they're still being marginalized in 2017 is wild. If people haven't opened their eyes yet, will they ever?
Can you blame me after what you told me about your world? Just looking out for you. ;)
[ Oh no, no, no. There is no hiding in your thoughts in this house, Max. ]
I *did* sort of already suggest breaking into a pool at night. But I think you should use the things about you that you already know he likes, to make whatever it is special. Do something that could literally *only* come from you, you know? Maybe something that relates to your past, and how you got started, how you met.
LOL I make no promises. I'm a photographer, not a teacher.
[But talking about photography teachers is probably the last place either of them want her mind.]
I think progress is inevitable, but since there are those fighting against it, unfortunately it still takes fighting for. I just hate that so many get hurt and sacrificed in the process.
You and Scott are from 2017, right? I feel like he mentioned that to me once. It was October 2013 when I left home to come here.
Okay, if he shows up, I will allow you to question him. But I have serious doubts anyone from my world is going to show up here... Though Warren does seem the most likely to say "yes" to a talking owl. He'd think he was in an episode of the X-Files or Twin Peaks or something.
Apparently so? I've always thought skater boys were pretty cute, though none have ever paid me much attention. It's kind of funny now that I think about it, because Chloe likes skateboarding too.
Does Scott look like the type of guy who would break into a pool? I think the worst crime he's ever committed was putting the wrong sock on first during practice. Be thrifty, funny and make him smoothies, got it.[ Ha. ] I was thinking about something but it's kind of dumb.
Pfft, I'm dedicated enough. Though I might just do it anyhow just to be brat.
Me too. All we can do it keep up the fight, we only lose when we give up and I'm not throwing in the towel anytime soon.
2013! God, I don't even remember 2013, save for graduating. That was four years before I met Scott. It was June 2017 for us.
X-Files, huh? He's got good taste, maybe I won't show up in a black suit and sunglasses then. I'll give him a break since you like him, but I might have to put my foot down if he starts pining.
[ He would never, but he has a feeling her heart is already with Chloe. So. Fuck off, Warren. Respectfully. ]
There's nothing wrong with figuring it out late, I didn't come out until I was 18. I guess you were just waiting for the right skateboarder, hm? I had a tough guys with tattoos phase.
