So, imPorts, what are your thoughts on destiny?

[ Max is in his work uniform for the Museum of Folklore, framed by the charming backdrop of a cramped break room, soda in hand. ]

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a lit nerd back home, and a lotta stories out there start off with a prophecy. Modern stuff, too, but even then it's usually in an old timey magical setting.

A little bird once told me destiny is equal parts chance, free will, and necessity. Prophecy, divination, time travel... has anyone back home dealt with that kind of stuff? Knowing what's supposed to happen before it does?

[Destiny is... a really touchy subject for Max. She takes a few moments to mull it over, her expression darkening slightly.]

Something you can't get rid of.

[Not without horrendous consequences, anyway.]

And... yeah, I've dealt with it.

Not really. In my experience, if you change something that is really supposed to happen, destiny will try to fix it. Over and over, if needed.

And, if it doesn't, well... [Bad things, Other Max. Very bad things.]

And worse. Like, destiny changing, but it also wipes out just about everyone you know in the process.

Sorry. This is kind of heavy, isn't it?

Are you... okay?

[Max may have just spoken to him a few times online, but she's pretty sure she recognizes that look.]

You asked us this stuff for a reason, didn't you?

And what about your destiny?

[She asks gently, but she can't help but wonder how a boy his age gets the wish for that kind of solidarity.]

That sounds... awful. [And she'd thought her life was bad.]

But why does it have to be you? You're a little... young.

I think I know what you mean.

And hey, if you ever want to grab a bite and bitch, you can call me up if you want.

[Is she allowed to use that language? Honestly, it sounds like he's dealt with way worse than a few bad words.]

Thanks.

Oh! Did you get to see a guy named Norman? I ran into him, and he mentioned he was looking for you.

Good! I'm happy for you, Max. I was hoping he'd be able to find you.
