[Max has been pretty silent since the whole Deadman's Gulch thing. He didn't take well to having his things back only to have the, taken away. At least he got to keep Dog.

Max can be found in various places around town with a dog on his heels. He's not on a leash, but he's sticking very close to Max

[Grimsley reclines on a park bench, one leg crossed over the other, swilling a . . . glass of wine in his hand. He looks mildly irritated as Max and the dog decide to play around barely five feet away from him.]

What is that animal called again . . . ?

[v8_interceptor]

[Max looks a bit annoyed.]

A dog. Never seen one before?

[tenebrousking]

Ah, yes. We don't have many of those around Unova.

[v8_interceptor]

That's not a place I've ever heard of.

[tenebrousking]

You wouldn't have. It's a bit of a stretch for you to even know what Pokemon are, I suppose.

[v8_interceptor]

[Blank stare.]

You gonna keep talkin' down to me or are you goin' somewhere with this, mate?

[tenebrousking]

This is how I talk all the time, my good man. Unless you care to purchase me more liquor, you'll have to suffer through it.

What I mean, of course, is that it's not in your world. Many of us don't come from your Earth.

[v8_interceptor]

Or I could jus' as easily walk off.

[tenebrousking]

Your words wound me.

[v8_interceptor]

Good. I should bloody well hope they do.

[tenebrousking]

Are you always rude to strangers, or have you grown particularly fond of me?

[v8_interceptor]

[Nope. No answer from Max. He whistles for Dog and walks away. He's in no mood to put up with anyone's crap.]
