doubt it

it’s alright, don’t really know why it’s illegel but *hic* i don’t really care

*blinks at the hiccup* It has to do with the fact that children are still growing and a full work schedule can stunt their growth. They’re also easier to exploit than adult workers. Do you… do you need some water, Max?

nah, it’ll pass again.. and i’m not wroking a full schedule, this is actually the first time i’ve been called in *hic* in awhile…

It’s still illegal. *he sighs* Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to make a formal complaint – I”m not your legal guardian. I’d prefer that you didn’t work though – not where it’s an illegal situation like this.

i don’t know if i have a ‘legal gruardian’ anymore, consittering i’m not even from this timeline… *hic*

Okay, seriously, we should get you some water to drink. And what do you mean you’re not from this timeline?

i mean this isn’t the universe i was born in, before i was here, i was at a normal verison of this camp then i k-.. died and when i woke up, i was here!

Oh, I see. I suppose that explains for some of the weird occurrences that happen here…

*hic* yeah.. *he glances away* what were we talking about again ?

Water. You’re going to get some. You have some in your tent, right?

probably not *hic* there should be some in the mess hall though

Okay. Back that way we go, then. You should keep a water bottle with you out here in the woods – just in case.

*he nods slightly, starting to walk towards the mess hall* meh, i don’t really need water anymore, i had a water bottle but i lost it..

Is there a lost and found here? I could also buy you a new one. And sure you need water… you’re still capable of dying, aren’t you? That can’t be a pleasant experience.

yeah, but there are way worse way to die..

Better to not die at all though, right? Especially of thirst.

*he hesitates before nodding* yeah, i guess that is one of the suckier ways to die..

How are the hiccups?

i think they’ve passed, so that’s go-*hic* fcuk!

*smiles slightly* They get you just when you think they’re gone.. heh. Sorry, buddy.

*sighs* guess i’ll just have to wait longer.. *hic* 

We’ll get that water, and you can drink it through a straw. That should help them go away.

why through a straw? should just drinking water work? *he tilted his head slightly*

Well, when your bronchial tubes are spasming it’s sometimes helps to occupy them with another function, like holding your breath. But sometimes that’s not enough so drinking through a straw works your tongue muscle and your esophagus, and usually the complex functions happening when you drink through a straw makes your bronchial tube forget what it’s doing.

Er, I mean… because science.

….. o kay then… *he looked ahead, kinda unsure if he understood any of that*

*Smiles slightly a bit at Max. They make it to the mess hall*

*he looked up at the hall, a small smile spreading across his face as he thought*

C’mon, buddy – let’s go to the kitchen. *starts to walk in*

A Holiday Surprise (closed w/ selfmedicatingmayor)

Carlos’ breath hitched slightly at Hancock’s response. He tried not to look at the other man. He couldn’t get bashful here – he was going to give Hancock a present, and he needed to be chivalrous!

Carlos stopped them at the warehouse door where his workshop was set up and he dug in his pocket for the key. He opened the door and held it for Hancock to get inside first.

The lack of any real response was slightly disappointing, but the ghoul didn’t let that bother him, not when Carlos was being so sweet. When the other opened the door for him, Hancock leaned in to peck him on the cheek before stepping through, a warm smile on his lips. “Thank you, darlin’. Such a gentlemen, heh.”

Carlos made a surprised little squeaky noise when Hancock kissed him, but he quickly tried to cover it up with a frankly obnoxious-sounding clearing of his throat. He closed the door behind them and went toward his desk.

“Uh, go ahead and sit down, Han,” he said, gesturing toward his chair. “Gimme a second to find it. I put it away so it wouldn’t get hurt while I worked.” Carlos started to go through the top drawer of the desk, taking tools out and setting them on top so that they weren’t in the way.

“Oh
I think he did. Got upset you weren’t there. But he’s ok now. Sometimes
comes and searches the ship but yeah. There wonderful lovely
creatures.”

“They are,” Carlos agreed. He’d never seen anything like them. “Gosh… I hope his parents are somehow able to let him know that it’s okay. Or… I dunno, Yondu… You, um… your species seems to have some minor telepathic abilities. I… I dunno if this is presuming too much, but… are you able to just…let him know I’m okay? I’m just asking – I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I’m just asking…”

“Don’t worry his parents took care of him and… Hmm I guess they can understand me in a way… I whistle and they understand that way I guess. Don’t worry it’s ok. Maybe someday you’ll see him again. But always remember he’ll be you soul traveler…. he’s a baby so that means you will have a long life. You’ll both be old before he carries you to Valhalla…”

What…? Carlos had wondered about what aliens believed regarding the afterlife, but the subject had just… never come up. Did they think space whales were basically boats to the afterlife? That… well, he could see that making sense as a belief.

“You believe in Valhalla?” he asked. That was a term that Carlos had thought was exclusive to Earth… well, until it was revealed that one of Earth’s heroes was actually an alien – a Norse alien, if there was such a thing.

“We all are a bit different but it all comes down to Valhalla for those called warriors. I’m a ravager… we believe in a form of Valhalla. We’re like space warriors…. we have a code. We’re honor bound… we fight great battles at times… kinda like…. uhhhh As petey says… uhh Vikings or pirates I guess. And we belive were guided to Valhalla’s gates by those space critters out there.

“Huh,” Carlos said as he pondered. “That… sounds pretty nice, actually. Valhalla, um.. what is it to you? Is it a paradise?”

Taking a Chance (closed w/dont-do-anything-i-would-do)

When Carlos went to school he was told that this was
supposed to be a great field to work in. As he worked and built his resume he
and his coworkers joked that with his experience he’d always have a job in this
industry; the most he’d ever been out of work was maybe a month and a half.

It had to have been Hammer Industries. The company wasn’t in
existence anymore, having since been torn apart and cannibalized by larger
entities, but just the word ‘Hammer’ put a dark mark on Carlos’ history. He
hadn’t even been involved in the scandal – his job was with safety mechanisms in
the weaponry and technology that was made. But when Hammer set his sights on
Iron Man, everything went downhill.

Iron Man… Tony Stark. Everything he did in technological
advancement was incredible and it would have been a dream job to go work for
him. But Hammer ruined that. He ruined any prospect Carlos had of ever setting
foot anywhere near Stark Industries property. That was the one application that
Carlos never made. Because why would Stark and Potts want anyone from Hammer
Industries?

But the months of unemployment was weighing down heavily on
Carlos, and he was starting to not care. The worst that could be done was he’d
be ordered never to contact Stark Industries again. And really, would anything
be different?

So one Sunday afternoon at his father’s house in Oregon he
started the application. He linked his resume and profile, provided his
references, and before he could think much about it hit the submit button.

And that was that. Carlos never expected to be contacted by
them, but he can at least say that he tried.

When Pepper had received a resume she hadn’t known what to expect from it at first. It seemed well written, well filled in, lots of great experience, and then she spotted that name that had her worrying. She knew the company was gone but she didn’t know whether she could trust this stranger or not.

When it came to these kinds of applications she turned to Tony to ask him about what he thought. The guy had lots of experience, seemed to be struggling to get work since Hammer Tech and seemed to almost be on his last choices. Tony could tell the man was starting to just need anything right now and he liked the experience he had.

He could see he wasn’t part of the scandal and told Pepper to bring him in, they would interview him, see whether he could work well for the team or not, and then see what they might be able to do. He could see the man might be useful to him and he was happy to offer the help to the other for now if he could work well.

Pepper sent him an email telling him they would like to offer him an interview with them, that they would like to see his documents for proof of work, and to talk with him about the role he might work in there and Tony hoped it helped the young man.

Carlos was at a loss. What was he going to do? What was he
going to wear? What was he going to say?

In truth, he’d made himself forget about the application he’d
submitted as he moved onto other, more promising leads of work. It was relatively
easy, filling applications and helping his brother with his hardware repair
work (though it made Carlos feel awkward, Mikey paid him what he could which
was really very nice of him).

But when he told his family that he’d been contacted by
Stark Industries the next thing he knew was that his father had booked him a
flight for Los Angeles (with his own
money) and then packed Carlos a layover bag with his nicest interview suit (a
royal blue suit with a yellow shirt and a red necktie).

Jarringly soon Carlos’ plane landed and Carlos made himself
up before getting a Lyft to the Stark Industry building that had been detailed
in the interview appointment.

Carlos felt nervous and a bit boldly dressed for a meeting
like this – the suit was just so brightly colored. But he went into the
building and let the receptionist know his business. Clutching his personal
document case in his hand he went to the floor directed and sat down and
waited.

I don’t know any other 25 year old man who’s as cheerful as that- except Daniel. But he was a cult leader that doesn’t count.

… You’re kidding, right? A Cult leader?

I shit you not. David unknowingly hired a cultist. Everyone almost died.

… Like… literally??

No, figuratively.

Yes literally!

That’s why we don’t have kool-aid anymore. Or rat posion.

….

I may need to talk with David one-on-one at some point…

Maybe.

So far, the only fucked up thing to happen this week, was the chicken bear. And it’s hopefully gonna stay that way.

The what now?

There was a bear made out of chicken in the QM store. It was terrible- hey the pod popped what’s the time?

Oh – Oh, yes, that thing. Sorry – for a second I was thinking of, like, a chimera or something.

Oh, um… *looks at phone* that was a good five minutes and twenty eight seconds.

A what-era?

What’s that compared to the laketime?

Lake time was less than a minute.

And by the way, a Chimera is a, usually unnatural, amalgamation of animals in one body. I thought… I dunno, some kind of feathered bear monster when you said ‘chicken bear’. It didn’t occur to me really that… that thing we saw was made of chicken and not just straight ‘flesh’. Eugh..

…there’s something wrong with that lake.

Also that sounds a million times worse.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking about that lake. Don’t let anyone go in it, okay? Especially Angela – tell her ‘her Daddy says’. I’m going to take some samples and analyze them at the mobile lab. Maybe I should check your guys’ water filtration too to make sure it’s running properly.

God… what even is this place?

Yeah, okay, sure.

It’s hell is what it is.

Hell should not have a bunch of prepubescent and impressionable children running around it.

I need to go get my equipment and get started. Oh – if you see David tell him he should speak to me too. And that other counselor… um… what was her name? Wren?

Gwen? I’m sure she won’t care much, but I’ll tell her.

Gwen. Right…

Let’s, um… let’s go ahead and clean up the experiment. Good work, Max.

it’s alright, don’t really know why it’s illegel but *hic* i don’t really care

*blinks at the hiccup* It has to do with the fact that children are still growing and a full work schedule can stunt their growth. They’re also easier to exploit than adult workers. Do you… do you need some water, Max?

nah, it’ll pass again.. and i’m not wroking a full schedule, this is actually the first time i’ve been called in *hic* in awhile…

It’s still illegal. *he sighs* Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to make a formal complaint – I”m not your legal guardian. I’d prefer that you didn’t work though – not where it’s an illegal situation like this.

i don’t know if i have a ‘legal gruardian’ anymore, consittering i’m not even from this timeline… *hic*

Okay, seriously, we should get you some water to drink. And what do you mean you’re not from this timeline?

i mean this isn’t the universe i was born in, before i was here, i was at a normal verison of this camp then i k-.. died and when i woke up, i was here!

Oh, I see. I suppose that explains for some of the weird occurrences that happen here…

*hic* yeah.. *he glances away* what were we talking about again ?

Water. You’re going to get some. You have some in your tent, right?

probably not *hic* there should be some in the mess hall though

Okay. Back that way we go, then. You should keep a water bottle with you out here in the woods – just in case.

*he nods slightly, starting to walk towards the mess hall* meh, i don’t really need water anymore, i had a water bottle but i lost it..

Is there a lost and found here? I could also buy you a new one. And sure you need water… you’re still capable of dying, aren’t you? That can’t be a pleasant experience.

yeah, but there are way worse way to die..

Better to not die at all though, right? Especially of thirst.

*he hesitates before nodding* yeah, i guess that is one of the suckier ways to die..

How are the hiccups?

i think they’ve passed, so that’s go-*hic* fcuk!

*smiles slightly* They get you just when you think they’re gone.. heh. Sorry, buddy.
