WARNINGS: TBD, probably not
STATUS: Closed/Ongoing/Match-up

Kate was gone. Just as they were starting to talk about moving in together again, the stupid Dome took her. It was incredibly unfair, and it hurt a lot. He wanted to get drunk, but he wasn't old enough yet, and while he could probably get someone to buy him liquor, he'd just pig out on burgers instead. He went inside Hinkles and ordered a werewolf special. He wasn't a werewolf, and he couldn't eat as much as a werewolf, but he really didn't care at the moment. He wanted to pig out on comfort food, and that was that.

He sat at his table drinking his shake as he waited for his burgers, feeling really bummed out about this place. He'd gotten used to it, and maybe even had started liking it, and then they had to take away his girlfriend. Why? Why did this place have to suck so much?

He saw a girl about his age come in, and he looked down at the empty table, looking as depressed as he felt.

“Then I’m going to do that whole positive thinking for once and maybe she’ll come back,” Max wasn’t big on it, but whatever. One time wasn’t going to kill her. Or maybe it would but screw it. She was still trying for once even if nothing really came from it or something did, but it wasn’t the way he was hoping.

Max nodded, and she could understand that since whether it was here or back home, if El was here, she’d never ever point out who she was to anyone. That was her business, and no one else’s. “Supernatural….I guess you can say I know a bit about that,” she paused for a moment before nodding, deciding to go with that on everything from back home. Or was it more fucked up scifi? Not the point! “I have a badass best friend who is like a superhero and is quite powerful,” she smirked because El was a badass and was super glad to have her as a friend. Even if it brought a whole lot of insanity into her life, “and the crap my friends and I have been dealing with is something not many people have so I had my own crash-course when I moved to a new town. Now I get another one with catching up on everything I missed with now being in 2022.” That part still messed with her brain.

"Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do too, although it doesn't seem like this place cares what we want or don't want. It just does what it wants."

Which he resented at the moment.

"Superheroes, huh? That's cool. I don't know any Superheroes per se back home but there are a lot of them here. Have you heard of the Avengers? Most of them are here." Which was hella cool, if you asked him.

"Yeah? When are you from?" He was from like ten years ago, but that was easy enough to make up for. The phones were just a bit spiffier.

“Maybe so and it fucking sucks that this place is like that, but you can still hope it isn’t a complete piece of shit,” Max told him. Most people and things did whatever they wanted, she saw it from more than enough people. “This place can fucking suck with some of the things I heard about.” Though she also knew it had a lot of good, and if her future was as bad as she feared, then this place might be useful for her.

Max knew about them, thanks to the comics she had back home. So what if many didn’t see it as a girl activity, she enjoyed them and loved them more than putting makeup on. The same when it came to her skateboard and people feeling it wasn’t girly enough. “My friend is a badass and one awesome superhero,” she was being careful since if El showed up, it was on her whether she wanted to tell people or not. “Yes, I have some of the comics even if I’m more of a DC person than Marvel. My friend who is here ended up with one of the Avengers as a guardian.” Though Max also had her own badass guardian who had abilities and could save the day.

“I’m from 1985.” It still felt weird saying that and even more weird to know her friends were from further along than she was.

"Ah, there it is. That's why stuff's so different for you. I wasn't even born yet in 1985." Or for the next ten years. "This place must be really wild for you with all the technology and cell phones and computers and everything."

He was really glad that he didn't have to get used to this. Sure, he was from a little bit int he past too, but enough that he knew how to use cellphones and get around in today's society.

"Do you need help? Understanding stuff, I mean."

“Yeah, my friends and I are having to catch up on things that we’ve missed over the years,” Max said with a nod. Not that she minded cause there was so much good stuff they missed out on, but they had the chance to see it now. It was keeping her mind semi-busy. Or it would until school rolled around and then she’d have to worry about that cutting into her time spent on catching up. “We had some of the technology, it’s just much further along now compared to my time. Lucky for us, my friends and I while learning, we pick things up quickly.” Also they had guardians who were from the future or present day, making them able to show two of them and they could show Robin.

“I know my friends and I just found that you guys can now play music from your cell phones. Which is super cool!” And made it easier than having to carry more stuff around just to listen to music.

On his offer, she thought about it for a moment. “I won’t say no to some extra help. We’ve been good so far, but it never hurts to get more of a crash course.” Max wasn’t big on asking for help; however, she figured she’d give the guy something else to focus on for a moment rather than losing his girlfriend.

"I mean, like I said, I'm from like ten years ago but there hasn't been that much change. Not enough that I haven't learned it really quick."

He shook his head a little; he couldn't believe that she was really from the 80's. He wondered if her life was like Stranger Things but didn't ask because that just would have been weird.

"Oh, yeah, you can totally play music. You can hold way more than you would on a cassette or a CD...do you have CDs yet?" He pulled out his own phone. "See, I have like six thousand songs on mine and it's not even close to full."

“Maybe not in technology like it is for my friends and I, but you probably have movies, shows, and music that you had to catch up on from when you’re from until now.” Max had been enjoying all of that cause she didn’t need to wait! Or at least not until she caught up on things, but right now she was working her way through things that wouldn’t be out for a while back home. The horror movies had been her number one focus even after everything back home.

She shook her head at his question on CDs. “What’s a CD?” Max had learned about all the music on the phone, but she figured CDs weren’t a big thing these days cause she didn’t exactly know what they were. “Can I see?” She asked, not wanting to take his phone without the okay even if he was showing her. Max didn’t feel comfortable just taking it, but that was a lot of songs. “How did you get that many on your phone? Did it cost a lot?” Max didn’t have that type of money and she didn’t think it’d be fair to ask Zari for that much money. Maybe he had some secret to get it at a better deal or she’d have to use the internet that she found to be quite fun to use.

"Well, yeah, definitely. There were all of these new Star Wars movies that came out that I had to see..." And he'd loved that.

"A CD is like...um, a little record that's read by a laser instead of by a needle? It plays music. A lot of people thought they sounded too digital and stuff compared to records and cassettes, but they were seriously a huge improvement. You could fit a lot more music on a CD than on a cassette and they weren't as easy to mess up." Although they were still pretty easy, really.

"Um, it costs $9.99 a month for unlimited music. It's called Apple Music."

Another nerd, then again while she gave her friends shit for it, she was a nerd in her own way. She wasn’t interested in D&D like Dustin and the rest of them; however, she loved her comics right after her skateboard. “I’ve been excited to catch up on the different horror movies,” she said with a smirk, loving the long list of ones she still had to do.

Max listened, nodding as he tried to explain CDs, which he did a decent job. “Doesn’t seem like they are that big of a deal now? Or maybe I just haven’t really seen people with them?” It was possible. What she did see and had gotten her own pair was wireless headphones. Those were both awesome and weird, but no more getting caught on things with the wire.

“I’ll have to look at it later and see about going with that,” more like she’d talk to her guardian before doing anything. She liked Zari and wasn’t about to do something she wanted just because for once. No, she’d talk to her guardian first. “But we should eat before the food gets cold,” she said as the burgers came.

	"Yeah, we kind of moved from CDs to MP3s to whatever our phones use. Something like MP3s." Stiles wasn't a tech genius but he knew enough simply by living through it as long as he had. "Sure," he grinned. "Help yourself." And with that he grabbed a burger and started eating, glad to have been distracted for a while. [OOC: wrap!] (Reply to this) (Parent)
