ACT VII - Video

[crapbearer]

[ Hi, guys. You remember this kid from a couple days ago? Now he's looking far more somber. ]

So apparently we're not 'supposed' to leave the city, except for using the porters, which doesn't help much.

One of my powers is portals. They span all across the country. If you need to get somewhere else, let me know. My name is Max.

[ Yeah... too bad he didn't have the foresight to use the Mirror Net. ]

Lazy Saturdays, certainly, but no wishing for sleep. I try to -- fill my time with other stuff.

[crapbearer]

Aw, come on! What kind of self respecting person doesn't wish for more sleep? You're making the rest of us look bad with that work ethic.

[ He's clearly joking, with that grin on his face ]

[resipiscent]

Work ethic, huh? That's what you think it is?

[crapbearer]

[ Max's expression sobers a bit. ]

If you'd like to correct me, I'm all ears.

[resipiscent]

I don't like sleeping. It's not enjoyable.

[That's about the size of it.]

Sorry, I don't mean to get all heavy on you. But that's how it is.

[crapbearer]

Don't be. Nightmares can be a bitch sometimes. Is that what it is? Or something else?

Either way, I mean, if you need to talk about it or something...

[resipiscent]

Not just nightmares, but yes.

Ah... I don't know about that. Not here, at least, and not right now.

[crapbearer]

Is there a where and when that might work better?

[resipiscent]

[He's a little surprised -- it's not like they know each other all that well. Max has no obligation to listen to him, but he's offering anyway.]

Hm... well, if you're that interested... I can make myself available. Deliveries happen whenever, after all.

[crapbearer]

We can figure something out. I just want to help.

[resipiscent]

[His mouth curves. Sounds like Sora.]

... You're a good guy. Tell you what, come visit if you like.
