[ max isn’t big on typing — the device feels fragile and small in his hands and hitting the right places is an exercise in frustration, really — but the voice and video functions are similar enough to some of the things that can be achieved by furycrafting that they seem almost familiar. so here he is on the network, still in full uniform, looking very much like a roman soldier straight out of a history book, for those who have romans in their history books. (to those who know clark kent, he might also look like a younger version of clark pretending to be a roman.) ]

Can’t say I really understand what furycrafting’s gotten me here and I do have to get back, but while I’m here —

[ his posture and expression might have been professional until now, fit for a legionare, but here he grins, something rakish and wide. ] Where’s the nearest bar? Any recommendations for food or drink?

[ a moment later, he sobers again. in more quiet tones, he adds: ] Calderon, if you’re here as well, come find me.

[ Jon stares for a long time, just baffled. Finally he just runs a hand through his hair. Why can't his life be normal? ]

. . . Most people like pizza.

[legionare]

[ oh, look, it's a child. a child that reminds max a little of how crassus looked when they were both younger. of how he himself looked, too, but he writes it all off as coincidence for now. ]

What's pizza?

[supersweet]

[ Jon tries for a congenial smile, trying to push down his awkwardness. ]

It's like this bread with melted cheese and meat on top. Everyone likes it.

[legionare]

Crows, that sounds amazing.

[ have a broad grin; max doesn't really know the meaning of the word awkward. ]

Where would I find this pizza?

[supersweet]

[ Smiles like dad too. Jon pauses before he grins openly. ]

Many of the restaurants have it! They've got these papers called menus. You just see if it's there and order it!

Oh, and you'll need money, probably.

[Clark that isn't Clark, which is weird, because he's seen doubles of the same person before, but this doesn't seem a case of that. (He does cast locate creature on Clark just to check.) Either way, it's a question he can answer.]

What kinda drinks you into, my dude?

[legionare]

The kind with alcohol. What is there but beer and wine?

[spellslots]

Oh, damn, I'm gonna change your life.

[A Whole New World playing in the background]

So you got cider, mead, other fermented shit I can't remember of the names of, plus a whole fucking list of spirits and liqueurs. Here's a better question, what kinda flavors do you dig?

[legionare]

[ WHERE IS THAT MUSIC COMING FROM what furycrafting is this?? ]

Strong stuff. Things that taste fresh and sparkly like spring water. Don't mind if it burns a little. [ honestly, he's not picky. he's not picky at all. ]

I'll try anything.

( Oh. My. She does not rightly know what to make of this; either this is the same gentleman who had been kind to her during the festival in costume, or.

The spitting image of him, somehow. What gives her pause is his mention of 'furycrafting', which she has not heard of. Interesting. )

There are many establishments to procure food and drink, sir.

( That grin seems contagious, and a smile brightens her own expression. )

Has anyone directed you to them yet?

[legionare]

[ it's a different gentleman, but max would be happy to be kind to her as well. for a given value of kindness, certainly. because hello. ]

Someone has, but I wouldn't mind company such as yours.

[yorkist]

( Well now, there is an offer she simply cannot and will not refuse. Not when he has a smile like that. )

As it happens, I would not mind company such as yours, either. Where should I meet you?

[legionare]

[ what a promising start to his time here. ]

That's good news for me. [ you bet he's still smiling like that. ] I don't know any of the establishments here yet, so it'll have to be the communal housing and we can go from there.

@cjk [ text ]

[signifies]

If you're looking for someone, they might have been assigned a different floor of the housing.

[legionare]

[ why are you making him type, cjk? ]

GOOD TO KNOW

[ yeah, he hit capslock and doesn't know enough about texting to turn it off again ]

[signifies]

[ Clark won't risk audio on the off-chance this guy is like him and can recognise a voice.

Video would get awkward fast. ]

Where are you from?

[legionare]

[ max is a fully trained spy; he should be able to recognise a voice. ]

ALERA

[ Cisco has gotten into the habit of replying in the same format as the original post; in the video he looks half-confused, half-amused. ]

Are you... cosplaying?

[legionare]

[ the look he gets in return is not just half-confused but entirely so. ]

Cosplaying?

[franciscoramon]

I mean, you're not an actual ancient Roman, right? That getup's a recreation?

[ Cisco had been pretty sure that was what was going on when he started this but now he's hesitating. People here are from different points in history, but, is it possible? No, that would be WAY too weird... ]

It... it is a costume, isn't it?

[legionare]

What's a Roman?

[ max was definitely not present in that particular history lesson at the academy. but - ] Crows, no. It's not a costume.

[Furycrafting. Sounds extranormal to her, not that she's about to ask. She has some tact, thanks.]

Gotta give us more than that, sweetheart. Food-wise-- hmm, sweet, savoury? You a meat fella or more into the greens?

Speaking strictly on alcohol, the Time and Tides is quite the charming establishment. All manner of liquor. Classy without being overbearing about it.

[legionare]

[ it might be seen as extranormal here; in his world, it's the most normal thing and the one person with no fury at all is weird and strange. ]

I'll eat almost anything. Meat especially. [ "sweetheart", huh? that gets a delighted grin out of max. ] I don't know my way around yet, so maybe you'll find the time to show me this charming establishment some day?

[greyjane]

[Oh good, a fellow flirt. #herpeople. Who says fighting fire with fire is a terrible idea? Not this woman. This woman who is definitely a decade older than him.]

'Some day'.

[She says that with amusement. What a cutely delicate statement.]

I'm free this evening. A man needs to eat.

[legionare]

So do women, I've been told.

[ max doesn't mind if she's a decade older than him. he probably wouldn't even mind if she were one and a half decades older, but anything beyond that ventures too close to something uncomfortable for him personally. (too close to dorotea's age, and that is not an association he wants or needs.)

older women have taught him a great deal about how to please someone, really. ]

And if that's the truth, why don't we both mutually satisfy that need.
