How am I handling Maxine? Good? Okay? Angus, you are terrible and need to get off the internet?

Let me know here!

Anon on, screened comments, IP logging is off.

Has, uh...has anyone seen or heard from Zuko?

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened, but it can't hurt to ask, right? It's possible that he's just been really quiet. Not likely, but still possible!

...and if he's gone, then that means he was sent home. Which is good, because then he can go back to doing what he was supposed to do before he was brought to Vertiline.

So, her friend is probably gone, but Zuko being gone is a good thing.

She just needs to keep reminding herself of that.]

[After two months in this place without being able to touch anything up? Maxine's roots are growing back, and they're fairly obvious.

So un-schway.]

I don't suppose there'd be any hair dye here? Or am I going to have to figure out how to make it myself?

So, anyone have an explanation for what's up with these statues? They're attractive and all, but the fact that they just appeared overnight seems a bit suspicious to me.

[What with all the children decorating them, it probably isn't anything she'll need to worry about, but eh. Those mice and rabbits didn't seem threatening, either, and then a rabbit took a chunk out of her leg.

Besides that, ever since her death and her training with Zuko began, Max has grown to be more paranoid cautious of her surroundings.]

Okay, so I get that we need fire to take care of the mice that are running around, but what about the killer rabbits? Are they taken care of as easily as anything else, or do they multiply, too?

[Locked to Bruce and Terry]
Don't freak out on me, you guys. I'm in my pod and I'm safe. [Max is just going to leave out the part where she went out to see if this place has any of the ingredients needed to make certain tools for Terry. She's also going to neglect mentioning that she has several bites on her leg.]

So, is this revival thing normal around here, or is this some kind of superpower I didn't know I had?

[There's some weak, half-hearted laughter.]

Maybe I could become some kind of new Catwoman. Nine lives, and all that.

[A pause.]

...Although, I guess I'm down to eight, now, huh?

[Following her conversation with Kevas, Max took little time getting herself ready to go and explore that fog.

First thing's first, she needs to go and get some rope before heading over to the western edge of the forest.

Steven begins to waddle along after her as she heads to the door, but Max closes it before he has a chance to get out. Max might lack any sense of self-preservation, but she's grown to like her capybara, so he gets to stay safe inside the pod.]

Somebody please tell me that these communicators aren't the most advanced forms of technology in this place. I'd even settle for a computer from ten years ago.

[There's a frustrated sigh. Somebody is very unhappy with the lack of modern technology.]

This is so not schway.
