Flame one reporting

[flame_one]

[If you are in the CMA on this fine afternoon you will be in for a very big surprise. Very suddenly the full figure of man appears out of nowhere, and guess what… he’s laughing.]

Ha! Hahaha! You’re too late, kid. Maxie is-……..! What the…?

[He seems to realize he is no longer in the Magma hideout in Jagged pass. But where he is and how he got

Comments

...I am so sorry

[oceansbane]

[Oh, don't worry about whatever the hell your Maxie was doing when you showed up, Tabitha - after all, you're about to be greeted by this one. Because he's been keeping an eye on the fresh blood around here lately, and while he doesn't know you by sight, he'd recognize that uniform anywhere.

He laughs; the sound is pitchy and manic, harsh to listen to, and when he approaches he isn't wearing the asymmetrical red-and-black jacket this one is probably used to seeing. He's left that elsewhere, though what he does have on are the usual things he has underneath it, the long sleeved-shirt and pants, all in black; the only obvious splashes of color are his hair and the odd splash of blue at his hip, a piece of fabric tied to his belt like some sort of odd scalping trophy.

At the same time he's recognizable enough. And he's very, very happy with what he sees; the laughter dies when he stops in front of the newcomer, though his eyes are alive.]

One of mine, I see.

No you're not. ;P

[flame_one]

[Tabitha can tell there is something a bit...off about this one. Even if his the other Maxie hadn't warned him about this one, he would have been able to tell something was wrong. The appearnce was a little off and the actions were a bit... different then what he was used to. Though it's probably for the best he didn't meet this one first or else he would have thought Maxie had just gone insane in general.

He'll eye that blue fabric tied around Maxie's hip, but return his attention to his face moments later. It might be best to be on guard is this guy was a weird as Maxie had told him. You're kind of creepy, sir.]

Yeah, I am Commander Tabitha... sir. [He wasn't quite sure how to talk to this one. His working relationship was pretty secure with the other one, but this guy seemed pretty unhinged.]

...well. You're right, I'm not.

[oceansbane]

[He smiles a bit at that, though the smile isn't particularly...nice.]

Tabitha. Not following the naming convention, I see, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of variety once in a while.

Such a pretty name.

[And though his tone is at least somewhat amused, it's far from mocking.]

If you are a Team Magma commander, Tabitha, you know me to some extent. Meaning that you understand that I'll follow protocol regardless of whether you're truly mine or not.

Share your memories with me.

See! I know you like to torture me. D:

[flame_one]

[Tabitha shrugs]

No one picks there name.

[He was used to the mocking, and didn't really care about it.. but this was almost worse some how.

He isn't exactly nervous, but this guy was really weird. He nods to the first statement but as for the second...]

Share my what...?

It's the most fun pastime, you know.

[oceansbane]

Your memories. Surely you didn't think I wouldn't check.

[Though he isn't yelling, his expression has darkened a fair amount; clearly, he isn't in the mood for games.]

The Flame, Tabitha. Give it to me.

;_; Why must he sound like he is coming onto him....

[flame_one]

[Fuck. Tabitha has no idea what this man was talking about, but he was sure he didn't want to do it. Sharing his flame or whatever. This guys was creeping him out though.]

..Sorry man, but I don't know what you're talking about...

Come on, baby, light my fire~

[oceansbane]

[Okay, you know what. He'll just be closing the distance between you quite a bit more, if you don't mind, Tabitha.]

Give it to me, or I'll take it by force. Now.

D: Do. Not. Want.

[flame_one]

[He kind of does mind, actually. Not that he has personal space issues, but when it comes to this guy space seems like a good thing.]

Hey! I might give it to you if I knew what is was... but uhh.

[He takes one step back, but it's not really enough to keep Maxie away.]

Aw yeah git it gurl

[oceansbane]

Acting stupid really won't win you any points.

[No, it's...really not. He'll just be lunging at you now. Quickly. Going for your head. Though he doesn't really seem inclined to harm you, he's just managing to get his hand around the -

...oh, what.]

Why doesn't it - ?!

[And after another abrupt yank on that goddamn hood, he'll release you and promptly back up.

He's a bit displeased. Let's put it that way.]

wtf does that even mean XD

[flame_one]

[Oh holy shit. He doesn't really have a chance to respond, and even if he would normally pound the face of someone who lunged at him like that, he wasn't about to hit is not!boss, especially with how crazy the guy was said and proving to be.]

Doesn't it what? I told you I have no idea what you're talking about.

[He doesn't like that face of Maxie's right now.]

It means - ...oh god why did LJ send me this notif five times, wtf

[oceansbane]

[He glares for a moment before the expression shifts. He's less angry, but that smirk really isn't promising, either.]

No matter. Do you understand where you are?

It should have only sent twice... o-o;

[flame_one]

[I don't think anything this Maxie does will ever sit well with Tabitha. This just cemented the fact that he will have to avoid him for sure from now on.]

Yeah, some island. I was briefed on the basics...

All hail LJ

[oceansbane]

[He nods a bit at that, the gesture tight.]

By whom?

Indeed xD

[flame_one]

[Thinking about it, Tabitha isn't sure mentioning the other Maxie is a good idea.]

Some kid on the island. I don't know his name, but it was easy enough to make him talk.

[oceansbane]

[Shame that there are enough kids on this island to make him wary, isn't it? After all, you might have run into the coordinator or someone that spends time with his little girlfriend. Or the various others that seem to know of him somehow. Probably as a result of the abovementioned brats.]

A boy, was it? Why don't you describe him for me?

[flame_one]

[Ah what the heck. It wouldn't hurt to describe the boy he did see.]

Yeah. Uh he was a short kid, green hair, kind of sickly looking to me.
