@Proxy -- Looks good so far! Vivid'll have final say, but I like her. =) Relationships below, or suggestions. @wonderlandalli -- I think that relationship (between Jason and Max) would depend entirely on how long they'd known each other. It could be the difference between awkward strangers and being almost codependent. [b]Iikka:[/b] "Iikka's so funny! We don't really talk ever, we've had some classes together and stuff, but he's usually out the door before we can chat. Or before I say hi. But it's okay, I think he's pretty busy with other stuff, y'know? When we were kids, we used to climb trees together all the time! He was the only one who ever went faster than me." [i]Other: Max always thinks the best of everyone, but she'd find Iikka's tendency toward violence/hostility a little off-putting...which would probably mean trying to 'nice' it out of him. And he'd have to be very clear in getting rid of her. She's intuitive, so she'd read into his pushing her away, and want to 'fix' him. In other words, they could best friends, or really, really not.[/i] [b]Mario:[/b] "Mario is good at everything! Boy Scouts, and running, and...being friends with people? Everyone likes Mario, have you met him? He's pretty nice, too, but...um...well, it's not [i]bad[/i], he's really smart and everything, but I think sometimes I kinda bug him. We had a school project to work on once, and I was supposed to meet him at the library, but the twins got sick, and Mom was on a double shift at work, and I meant to call him, but I dropped my phone in the toilet the day before, and I didn't have his number, and...well, anyway, he was [i]reeeeally[/i] mad at me. Oops." [i]Other: Max would try [i]really[/i] hard to get along with Mario, but he's so completely opposite her, she'd have a really hard time even sitting still long enough to talk to him. She'd admire him from afar, though. [/i] [b]Jason:[/b] "I like Jason. I...well, don't tell anyone, okay, but sometimes, I think he's really sad. He pretends not to be, but I don't believe him. I wish he would talk to me. I think I could help. I could try." [i]Other: Jason and Max have more in common than either of them knows. I dunno how they'd figure it out, if Jason's awkward around Max, and Max doesn't talk about the less bright-n-shiny parts of her life at all, but if they ever crossed that point, I think they'd be besties. [/i] [b]Olivia:[/b] "Oh....I don't think she likes me very much. But she's really smart. Or at least, she's good at knowing things. I bet she'd be really good on [i]Jeopardy[/i], that's the kinda stuff she knows, just random stuff, y'know? She's real sarcastic, too. It's kinda funny, but it's kinda mean sometimes, too. I wonder if she'd see a movie with me..." [i]Other: Olivia's demeanor would both fascinate and confuse Max. I think she'd admire Olivia for being so [i]not[/i] naive, but she'd probably find the other girl kind of intimidating. Not that it would stop her from being friends, or trying to. Max is...well, incorrigible at her worst. [/i]
