[Someone's been avoiding the Link since the crystals situation righted itself--even as far as his levels of obnoxiousness go, he was embarrassed at how he acted. To the point of actually avoiding his friends It isn't until now that he's able to show his face to the Haven, losing almost all of that cocky attitude and replacing it with...guilt.]

So.

I'm sorry or whatever. For all of that. Wasn't at my best, yeah?

[Private to Gunmax.]

Do you want your bike back or what?

[Private to Ironhide]

Thanks for...you know. All of that.

[He awkwardly rubs his head, looking down.]

And sorry for what I said about you.

[Private to Kagerou]

Oi, Kagebird, stop avoiding me.

[get your dumb hands off gunbike Satisfied that he doesn't have to strangle Power Joe for scratching his bike, Gunmax crosses his arms and leans against it. wow is this some kinda bonding did hell freeze over]

More or less. Gunbike is more than just a bike to me. It's my partner. And God help you if you ever screw with it again.

[well that went from a nice chat to vague threats pretty quickly didn't it. I mean Gunmax might be joking, he is grinning. it is mystery.]

[kungfugeek]

[make him asshole Figuring that Gunmax would actually attempt to stay true to his word (see: attempt), he backs away, leaning against the wall, his own arms folded.]

Well...at least when I was crazy I kept you two together, then, yeah?

[God why can't he read you like everyone else on this team.]

Relax, I won't touch your precious bike. Why don't you give it a kiss since you missed it so much?

[badboybikerbot]

[don't worry pj gunmax isn't going to kick your ass]

Oh, how thoughtful of you.

[BECAUSE YOU SUCK.]

No way, man. Gunbike's too classy for that. Right, baby?

[He glances at the bike. It doesn't answer. Because it's a bike.]

[kungfugeek]

[Yeah cause you can't, weenie.]

...

[He looks at the bike, expecting an answer. But a hand goes to his ear, a smile forming on his lips.]

What's that, Gunbike? You're saying Gunmax won't kiss you?

[badboybikerbot]

[gunbike isn't chained up anymore YOU WANT A BET PUNK also have an unamused little frown]

Shouldn't you be scraping glue off my wall?

[kungfugeek]

[A gun means nothing unless someone can AIM it, you butt.]

I thought you were going to help me.

[He's smiling now, that same shit eating grin he always has.]

[badboybikerbot]

[that's ok he can still wear the bike and pummel you with it >8U]

Stop making such a stupid face. It's going to freeze that way. How would you finally get a girlfriend then?

[Douchedouche. But he is going to start digging around for cleaning supplies or something because that glue is annoying him]

[kungfugeek]

[Try it, he can take you!]

Hey!...

I have a girlfriend, just so you know. And she's great. Amazing.

[And not here.]

[badboybikerbot]

[BRING IT]

Okay? So why haven't you introduced her yet?

[He doesn't buy your shit for a SECOND ok]

[kungfugeek]

!!

B..Because she's busy. Doing things. She's busy a lot of the time.

[Swimmin in denial, are we?]

[badboybikerbot]

...You're a really bad liar.

[pj plz]

[kungfugeek]

...

[His voice lowers, maybe trying a little too hard to scrape that glue off now.]

She's just been missing. That's all. She'll come back.

[badboybikerbot]

[don't scratch the wall you dipshit]

Missing like the way I was "missing"?

[since y'know he doesn't remember being here before

[kungfugeek]

[You wouldn't even notice and you know it!]

...Yeah, I think so. But she's tough--she'll come back.


[His voice betrays him, though, sounding less confident as that sentence goes on.

1/2

[badboybikerbot]

[I totally would I'd look for it on purpose just so I have something to bitch at you about.

Aaaand right about HERE is where Gunmax realizes that Power Joe PROBABLY WASN'T BULLSHITTING and making up fake girlfriends like a dweeb. Mostly because he's probably a horrible actor and this totally seems actually legit.

Now the question was, should Gunmax continue being an irritating prick or actually be a BRO since they were having a MOMENT?

Either way he should probably stop giving Power Joe that completely shocked look he'd been giving him.]

2!!!!!

[badboybikerbot]

[Ultimately he decides to save the assholeishness for another day. He gives PJ an unnecessarily rough shoulder pat]

Tch, she'd have to be tough to be able to put up with you. Once she gets back, you'll have to introduce me to her.

[cheer up Power Joe CHEER UP you're not allowed to be a mopey punk]

[kungfugeek]

[Even though he doesn't realize it, he appreciates that more than you know, Gunmax. Even going so far as to playfully knock his shoulder. Inching a little smile.]

Don't worry, you'll know when she comes back.

[And maybe he flicks a little dried glue at him. STILL PJ, IT SEEMS.]

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax wins again. Somehow.]

I believe it. Something tells me we aren't going to be able to get you to shut up about it.
