[And here is Max, bright red and looking extremely sheepish.]

Uh, so... how do you make it up to the neighbors for a noise complaint? I had some friends, and my girlfriend, come over and it got pretty loud. I mean, I'm not going to do it again, but I still feel really badly. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Chloe, John, and the Doctor are terrible influences, film at 11.]

I usually play music at home, but I haven't had anyone else here with me, and things sort of got out of hand.

[Understatement of the decade.]

Cookies? I've never tried it myself because offering the neighbors cookies I baked would prolong the feud, not end it. But it is one of the traditional ways.

I'm actually pretty good at baking cookies. I guess I never thought I'd be the cause of a noise complaint. I really should have been more careful.

So is it safe to ask what happened, or are you coyly avoiding the subject on purpose?

The Doctor and I may have just started a punk band, and we may have gotten loud.

Really loud.

[Cue Max turning red from embarrassment.]

Oh my god, could you two be any more of a cliche.

[ Much to Peter's delight. ]

You love us.

You're great. He's tolerable.

We're both great.

I think you're gonna have to work harder to sell me on this one.

[Chloe's at work, so Max gets text.]

Oops?

I feel awful about it. We should have been more considerate.

Seeing how it wasn't night?
Nah.

They're just being assholes.

I don't think so, Chloe. We were being really loud.

It was rude of us. :(

We weren't even playing that late, Max! if it were like 3 am i'd get the bitching but it wasn't

But what if the neighbors were just trying to relax, and we ruined it?

I feel so bad about it. D:

See, that's the part you're doing wrong, Max.

Just don't feel bad about it.

We were awesome. They got a free concert.

I dunno, food? Cookies? Cake? Cake with cookies in it?

I think that's what I'm going to do, for starters.

Which one?

Probably cookies.

I'm really feeling the cake, though.

And ice cream. Ooh, ice cream cake with cookies?

I'm really better at cookies than cake.

That's a shame. Cake's great.

Cookies are a pretty good second place, though!

Promise to invite them over next time!

I dunno. If they didn't like how loud it was out there, they probably wouldn't like how loud it is on the inside.

[And hell, she's still a bit hard of hearing today.]

Wait, wait. How old were the whiners in question?

They were adults. Lots of them.

[Yeah, she feels guilty.]

Wow. I guess they were serious about being joykills. I dunno, maybe just go over and say sorry? If you hadn't seen your girlfriend for a while maybe they'll understand...

I've been seeing her when I get a chance, but not as much as I'd like to, so... sorta?

[he scratches his beard for a moment, thinking.]

Alright. I'm thinkin' maybe you tell 'em you were just havin' a wee celebration on bein' together and apologise for waking them up at ass o'clock. Promise it won't happen again.

If they're dicks about it, then do it again. Fuck 'em.

I don't think I want to upset them again, though.

That's only the last resort! Only if they have a problem with your apology and explanation!

A sincere apology is a start.

Like... in a note, or in person?

If you can't work yourself up to the latter, the note will work. You did say it wasn't going to happen again, but I'd offer them the option of letting you know if there's ever a problem in the future.

I think I'll go for the note. And cookies. Maybe cookies will help.

Loud, hunh?

[ He's not sorry. Long time no talk, Max. ]

Cookies help.

Yeah. Like, REALLY loud. I feel like a total asshole.

lol damn
Might want to include a sincere apology with those cookies.

Totally going to happen.

Dare I ask what happened?

Punk band.

[ There is such a judging you face directed at the text message right now. ]

What made you think that was a good idea?

Just don't do it again? Or let them know beforehand so you can coordinate things.

I mean, it's not like they're demanding some sort of retribution, right?

Yeah, I think I'm going to see if we can practice somewhere else. Or at least see if the Doctor can soundproof the walls.

Practice? Like, a band?

[ Max is suddenly 80% cooler in Sophie's books. ]

Soundproofing should do the trick, I think.
