Milliways, Max has decided, is more trouble than it's worth. This is why he's been AWOL for so long.

"So long" = a month and a half, back in his world. It's really only been a little under two weeks, here.

He really would have preferred if that count kept going. A month and a half, two months, six months, a year, forever -

But since when did he ever get anything he actually wanted?

So there he is, slouching in a booth, reflecting on his Milliways experiences: a deathtrap jungle full of murderous dough, a tightly costumed superhero with a penchant for drowning people, that epic hangover, the goddamn Batman Joker, a stupid crush on Juliet Burke that (much to the surprise of no one) led to absolutely nothing, the zipboard from Enzo that very nearly killed him, the appearance of Croup & Vandemar, the complete lack of 99 to back him up/protect him, and now, his latest addition.

"Breakup with Fiona," he writes in the notebook of his mind, with a pen that's running out of ink.

Really, he's not surprised. He's not even angry. He's just disappointed.

Obviously, the only way to cure this is with a milkshake.

(You know, the kind spiked with liquor. It's 5 o'clock somewhere...)
