Oh, I bet The Ball already knows every single thing there is to know about this place. [ Fabian doesn't even sound sarcastic or annoyed about that. He sounds completely calm and neutral - because it's just a fact, of course. Why wouldn't Riz already know everything? That guy could walk into a room and immediately tell every single important thing about it, Fabian is pretty sure. It's what Riz is good at. ]
.. Curfew kind of sucks though. [ And not just because Fabian, much like some of the other Bad Kids, just doesn't like the concept of rules in general. Though that fact sure doesn't help. ] That means we cannot see each other at all while curfew is going on. Almost as if this place hates fun or something like that.
It's even on the weekends. Who has curfews on weekends? [ ...Plenty of people, but if it's being called a curfew, why does it have to be a bummer! Gorgug is in complete agreement. ]
We should ask around if people do parties, or if we need permission. I don't know that Riz would know about that. I don't think he'd ask.
[ Because the kind of information Riz would ask about....is potentially not the one about winding down and having fun. That's the one thing they can't go to Riz about! ]
[ Does Fabian believe that Riz is so unbelievably good at smart investigating that he'd already know way more about this place than them? Yes.
Does he also believe that Riz would have zero idea of how they could have fun here? Also yes.
Fabian and Gorgug are of one mind in that regard about the remaining third of their Bad Boys group.. ]
Who would we even need permission from to throw a party though? I mean, I'm.. [ .. well, he doesn't like saying it, but if it might help with a party.. ] I'm a cop. I am the permission, I imagine.
Whoa. Fabian has unlocked a potential cheat code here, and who knew that being a cop could have any perks? There's research that needs to be put into this, but Gorgug asks after a moment of silence: ]
Can you get us a party permit?
[ Bro. Bro. This place is weird enough to have one of those and can you put out?? ]
[ That's not a skeptical question, for the record. Fabian sounds in awe, like he can't believe Gorgug just thought of this. M-Maybe they could make it happen.
[ Well, Fabian can't deny that. Not that he's.. really in the mood to throw a party, with everything that's going on, but..
H-He's got a title to defend! Especially when Gorgug is currently the only one of their entire friend group who understands how important this title is to him! ]
You're right!
[ Which is why, just maybe, Fabian suddenly sounds a little bit too intense about this. ]
I-- I will go look into it right away! You will hear from me! This won't be the end of a Maximum Legend!
[ Yes, Gorgug is absolutely over here understanding a title that he didn't know about until he arrived here. And surely cares a lot about it back home too! ]
Hey. If you're a police guy too, then you have access to the drugs, right? And you can get any alcohol you want. You don't need to go through a Gilear or Ragh.
Judging by that slight pause on Fabian's end, he's considering all of these possibilities. Their sheer magnitude is slowly dawning on him. ]
Well, I-- I am not just a cop! I am also an adult!
[ You hear that, Gorgug? He's an adult now! He's the adultiest adult you have ever met! ]
That means I could do all adult things either way, regardless of my occupation! If even a man like Gilear could do them, then I can do them even more so!
[ This. This is what the mission is actually about!!! ]
What are you gonna do? You can do all the adult things-- what's that mean? [ What do adults do? What do adults do-- ] Are you gonna move in with someone?
[ He couldn't think of anything else!!! But he's asking excitedly, at least. Fabian, what are you going to do with this new power of yours?! ]
[ Fabian considers this for a moment, but.. this place seems like it wouldn't just let them move in with anyone, right. Why else would it place him and his friends all in separate houses? ]
Who would I even move in with, Gorgug?
[ T-There's no girl he's crushing on here, okay! M.. maybe! Some girls he knows here are pretty cute, but-- y-- you know!!
He's trying to not think about it too much before he gets flustered! ]
.. yeah, this stuff just happens with Gorgug, doesn't it. He tends to take things just a little bit too seriously, immediately giving every single thing that comes across some Thoughtful Consideration.. It's probably wasted breath to explain that he was just being hypothetical after what Gorgug said, and that Gorgug's answer isn't even really answering his hypothetical question as much as it's turning it around, but--
He's just going along with it now. ]
As my friend!
[ D-Dude, don't make it weird! Don't let this place make it weird! ]
What does this place have against a bunch of friends living together as friends, huh? There is absolutely nothing strange about that! [ Let bros be bros!!! ]
[ Wow, bro, why is he only a hypothetical to you... :( ]
Oh. No, it isn't. [ Fortunately, Gorgug just follows this natural progression of the conversation--where he's corrected loudly and exasperatedly--like a normal thing. Just like friends living together. ] You can ask. You can find other single guys and live in a house with them. As friends. It's not weird. It won't be weird.
[ Not weird at all, Fabian. See? Doesn't that sound totally not weird? ]

You think they have party permits?

Maybe they can grab.. the party permits!!! ]

Bro.
BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
You've gotta find out. You're the Maximum Legend. And I think that's what a Maximum Legend does.
[ He really doesn't know, but he thinks he's on track? Maximum Legends hold parties!! ]
