cure what ails you. [open]

Who: Maverick Taylor + open!
When: First week of August.
Where: The quad, also a network prompt.
Warnings: Excessive cursing because it's Mav.

[The unintended effect of getting on his guards' good side further than being "Ramona's kid that's surprisingly good most of the time" is that when they see something happening that they think he'd be interested in, they let him know -- and they're pretty good and not doing this all the fucking time. Mostly they leave him alone. When there's a crew heading into the room down the hall, intent on clearing it out of its already sparse personalization, they give him a heads up. They hover nearby and assure that they'll make sure he doesn't do anything he isn't supposed to when he makes his way into the room despite the crew's grumbles so that he can scrape together the few little treasures his best friend might have left behind.

Flipping through his two new notebooks and the various photographs Kano had collected of his friends, it finally sinks in. He really just...went to Canada, and didn't come back. Not like Maverick can blame him, though. That's where his family was.]


Fucking moron...

[The collected scraps get put away, but he doesn't stay satisfied for long, doing nothing.]

ATTENTION DICKWEEDS OF DAYBREAK

as it's become increasingly fucking obvious y'all don't know what the FUCK you're doing, and I've recently had my schedule freed up on account of lieutenant major disaster Cricket not fucking things up around here as of late, I, Maverick Fucking Taylor (fucking optional), have oh so graciously decided to lend you my much-needed services of being able to use my fucking brain to tell you what the fuck you've been doing wrong or what the less stupid way to go about shit going forward will be

translation: meet me in the quad this week if you need advising
if you're vacationing elsewhere because fuck this place, my inbox in open

you're fucking welcome


[True to his post on the network, Mav will have set up a rudimentary table in the Quad, a chair for him on one side and two slightly less comfortable ones on the other for anyone who might stop by. In Peanuts style, there's a sign that says "THE DOCTOR YOU NEED BUT DON'T DESERVE IS IN," which changes to "OUT" when he isn't around despite being done in permanent marker, and a banner that says "ADVICE BOOTH". Below, in smaller letters, he claims there's an optional fee of "whatever the fuck you find on the ground or some shit. or bottled water. keep me fucking hydrated if you want to make good decisions."

One of the days, however, the self-proclaimed doctor is there, according to the sign, but the usual freckled face and curly red mohawk is nowhere to be seen. Instead, something...furry...seems to have taken up residence on the table, curled into a soft little lump. When approached, the red panda's head bobs up and he blinks a few times before squinting and greeting,]


Alright, what've you got? Spit it out. But if you're looking to use me as a therapy animal just because I'm so goddamn irresistible, you can fucking get out.

[She saw the network post from Maverick, and she's not actually expecting him to set up a stand. Not now that Kano is gone. (She doesn't know how she feels about that, but...she hopes he's okay. Or at least not getting into trouble.)

She approaches the stand, not really sure if she...should. What's she going to do? What is there to even say?

God. She's terrible at this.]


So, what kind of advice do you excel at?

[personal profile] transfusionem 2019-08-01 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She should've expected this.

She raises an eyebrow back at him, before shaking her head.]


Alright, then I guess let me put it that way - what do you want to talk about? Romance, classes, family drama, all of that?

[She also should have expecting this, but somehow the question catches her completely off guard.

Her cheeks go pink.]


Okay, first of all, that's a terrible joke. [She appreciates that it's a pun, at least, but why do you have to do this to her?] Secondly...I don't know. Things are just kind of weird now.

[The look she gives him is clearly unimpressed.

It’s... She doesn’t want to believe she needs advice, and she wasn’t intending to actually bother Maverick with her problems, but now that she’s here...

She sighs.]


Don’t laugh, but it’s about Rex. Apparently when I was... Under the influence, I told him we should be in... a relationship. [That’s not what she said at all.] I don’t think he’s opposed to it? But he’s so... Rex.

[personal profile] transfusionem 2019-08-01 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[It’s better this way.

At that, Adelaide lets out a long suffering groan.]


Right?! He can’t just let himself be happy. It’s so frustrating and I don’t know what he wants!

[She spends a lot of her time annoyed at Rex. It’s a problem.]

[personal profile] transfusionem 2019-08-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think you're right.

[But that makes it no less frustrating to deal with, and it leaves them stuck dealing with this whole stupid mess.]

He already had one, when we were talking about what I said to him when I wasn't acting like myself. [She waves a hand.] And he already knows how I feel. It's how he feels...

I don't know. It's stupid.

[Intent on petting the red panda, Toki stops with his hand held out before he gets close enough. Because it speaks. And it sounds like Maverick. There's only a fleeting thought to asking why Maverick is a panda, pushed aside quickly in favor of the uncontrollable urge to squeal at how cute he is.]

Maverick~! Oh my god, you're adorable~!

[Maverick is spared being picked up and cuddled, solely because Toki's still on a leash.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-01 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, that's true, but like you're so cute now- and also before, but it's different! Can I pet you? Why are you a panda anyway!? And what's the booth for?

[He didn't see the network message, and was drawn over here solely by the red panda.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-01 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I did! But now I have to visit people in person and sometimes that's annoying if it's for little things! Anyway, I saw one the rings by the library; you have to watch where you're going!

[Toki frowns a little. Reading is hard. It may just be worth it, though. He stares at the signs for a minute.]

You're giving medical advice? Do you really think you're qualified for that!? I mean, the healing thing, yes, but- you don't really know what you're doing!

[Feelings are complicated and messy and she didn't ask for any of them. She...doesn't know what to do. She doesn't have any experience with this - she always held people at arm's length, back home. She was careful to not get too attached because she always dreamed of running away.

But Daybreak changed all of that. She's met all of these people who wormed their way in and she has no idea waht to do.

She sighs.]


All I've really done is tell him how I feel. I mean, I've done stuff like...make him food and we went to prom together, but none of that really met anything.

[ Vivi has passed by this booth several times, entirely content in not really needing advice. But one of the days, the booth is staffed by something fuzzy and soft instead of a human, and that's enough to attract him.

He takes bottled water with him, of course! He read the sign.
]

Um.

[ He looks down at the red panda. ]

I brought water. [ He sets the bottle down on the table. He's about to ask are you always a panda and other things of that nature, but this is an advice booth. He should probably ask for advice. ]

People say a lot of words I'm not familiar with here! [ Translation: swear words he's not familiar with. ] I think it's called...um...collo..quialisms? So I wanted to ask what kind of words like that you think would be useful!

[ Oh Vivi no. ]

[Of course Jolyne has to do what she can to troll the fuck out of Maverick, it's her given duty in this damn place when she has literally nothing else to do. Especially when she's wandering by and pausing at the booth only to have Stone Free toss a water bottle towards him.]

What the fuck are you even giving advice on, dickhead? [She's not even mad, that's just his new nickname as far as she's concerned.]

[Aw. Panda Mav is sort of cute. And also reminds Tobias of idea, one that's been percolating over the last few weeks...

He glides down and lands on the top of the stand, little birdie face peering down at the pottymouth doctor thar.]
