[The Dreamberry clicks on when Max's nose bumps the right key]

Chhhhhhhhhhaaaahhhhhh....

[There's some soft snoring and a pair of oversized, black-rimmed glasses in view of the camera.

[Max fell asleep studying, face-planted right into his phone, sitting at the desk in his room]

[Somarium, you are faced with the following image for roughly five seconds before Max pulls the sketch away and blinks wet eyes through the thick lenses of his glasses]

LOOK AT THIS!

[From the excitement in Max's voice, you may be expecting a cool new volume of manga - or maybe a really awesome weapon he's found, or even a crudely drawn sketch of a demon that he thinks is worth showing off.

[But no. Instead, he's showing off the angry rash on his arms and then leans back in and his face is also covered in spots. ( Read more... )

[Max is sitting on his bed, legs drawn up, hugging them. He tossed the Dreamberry aside and now it's recording.

[No, he's NOT crying. Shadowhunters don't cry. Especially not about a brother who left, a brother who never even talked to him. He's not crying over his skinned knees or his cracked glasses - both a consequence of the same fall out side. ( Read more... )

I'm bored.

[Max cuts right to it after the Dreamberry turns on. He's frowning, adjusting the volume buttons on the phone restlessly]

There's no school. I can't go out to get any new manga. Someone hid my video games. [Scowl. He has an idea, but he SWORE]

I wanna do something.

[Max is standing outside, a huge homemade snowball in one hand, Dreamberry in the other]

It's time.

[Max grins, throwing up the snowball once and gingerly catching it with his glove]

Who wants to join me in a huge snowball fight?

Come on. I want to play.

[The Dreamberry clicks on to a fairly messy bed. There are manga strewn about and of course, the bed is unmade. But an excited Max soon comes into frame, brandishing a quickly scribbled list]

Hey. I've got an idea!

Everyone is getting attacked by vegetables. They must be under some kind of spell... or maybe they're demonic? That would be awesome ( Read more... )

[The Dreamberry cuts on to darkness. There's nothing worth seeing, not even shadows --

[Then there's a bright light, AH! Blinding.

[GIve the witchlight a minute to fade a little. Then you can't help but notice a familiar figure laying directly in front of the screen. Even though he's in an awkward position on his side, his gray eyes are still open ( Read more... )

[ooc: Featuring Max as Naruto for the remainder of this cycle]

Hi!

[Max's arms move out of the way as he props the Dreamberry up against something. He's outside and he walks backwards a few steps to show off his costume, then he grins down at the screen and assumes his own dramatic pose, fancying himself a ninja]

Look what I can do!

[He strikes at the ( Read more... )

[Max is sitting on his bed with his Dreamberry, still wearing his private school uniform, though the tie has been loosened and the shirt untucked. His glasses are off and he doesn't look like a very happy kid. His too-thin shoulders sag as he stares at the screen of the phone, silent for a few seconds]

I miss home.
