[ It took Peter a while to figure out the whole smartphone thing. To be fair though for him 'a while' was like... five minutes. Maybe six. Oh he still hadn't figured out EVERYTHING yet, but like the basics? Totally down. He had to fight the urge to try and take it apart and put it back together again. He had a feeling it was waaaay more complicated then the walkmans and arcade cabinets he pulled apart and tweaked. ]

This thing is so awesome... Like something outta a scifi flick or something...

[ There's a guy with a silver mullet and motorcycle goggles perched on his head on the screen. No really. Dude looks like he walked right outta the 80s. He pretty much did too. There's also an odd high pitched buzzing noise in the background. Technically it was music. A mix of Queen, David Bowie, Rush, and Pink Floyd. Not that most would notice. It was being plaid at like... several hundred times the normal speed. Luckily Peter notices he left his walkman on and he flips it off after a couple seconds. ]

Anyway, hey. Name's Peter Maximoff and it's come to my attention that it is the year 2016. Last I checked it was 1983.  That means I'm missing out on 33 years worth of music and that's a damn tragedy. [Clearly that's his most important issue here now. ] So y'know. I need recs from all you future people! What's good? What sucks? I'm not too picky about genre but I gotta have music or I'll probably go crazy.

[ OK so really he's still worrying about his mom and his sisters and the kids at the Prof's school and other family issues that he just really doesn't wanna think about daddy issues don't ask. So to keep his mind off things he's just gonna think about music and stuff because running more laps around the city really isn't helping him much. ]

Oh! And video games. There's gotta be like at least a dozen new versions of the Atari and ColecoVision by now, right?

[Overclocking or trying to make the newer stuff run faster for superspeed just results in melted plastic.]

There's nothing wrong with running. I find it helps clear my head, myself.

[That or send him ricocheting forward into a new time period.]

[ Oh man that suuuuucks. Guess his trusty walkman is gonna have to keep up with him for a while. ]

Yeah... it's nice. 'S like my own little world.

[Unless he puts some of those computers to use, but that's beyond Max, at least.]

Nothing like a run to set the day right.

[sweetdreamsare]

[ He nods in agreement. ]

Yeah! You get it. Or you sounds like you do. No one REALLY gets it usually.

[guruofspeed]

When I'm not laid up like I am right now, I enjoy going for jogs.

[He also likes running, too.]

[sweetdreamsare]

Ugh. That sucks. Just got out of a cast myself.

[ Absolute WORST couple days of his life. Felt like decades. ]

You okay though? Gonna make it through? Not gonna croak? Die of boredom?

[guruofspeed]

Really? Lucky timing there.

I think I'll hold up just fine for now.

[This is a lie. Even Max gets fed up with not being able to move, to run, even though he can deal with life at normal speed.]

[sweetdreamsare]

[ Peter can... not so much. Normal speed is just miserable to him. ]

That's good. You seem like a cool guy. So what got you laid up anyway? Break a hip?

[ ...It's a common injury for people Max's age, right?! ]

[guruofspeed]

[A hip?]

I got shot during a robbery right before I ended up here.

[It's not a lie.]

[sweetdreamsare]

[ He whistles lowly. ]

Yeah that'll definitely do it. Sure is some sucky timing for ya though. Guess you'll just need to start learning how to dodge bullets, huh?

[guruofspeed]

Tell me about it.

It's better to just not get caught in that sort of position in the first place.

[He should have paid attention better when it happened.]

[sweetdreamsare]

See this is why you should just keep your money in a hidden pocket in your mattress.

...Not that I keep mine there.

Pretendyoudidn'thearthat.

[guruofspeed]

Not a word.

I'm sure you'll think of somewhere else, for here.

[sweetdreamsare]

I know I should be responsible and get an account or something somewhere... but that means I gotta wait in line every time I need something. Kind of a pain in the ass.

[guruofspeed]

It's a lot easier to keep track of that way, even if it does involve a wait at times.
