Meme: "Finger-Trap"
Max was carefully working on a concept for one of the defenses he was hired to create for the New Guardians' headquarters. He had a prototype set up, but it was a far cry from what he had been trying to make. Still, it was interesting enough not to discard completely. So he set it aside on the lab table while he worked on the next version.

	"All right, I guess... we're staying here then." Riley concedes, looking around. "You got a rolling stool or something I can sit on while you work?" He regards the energy tether again. "Anything I could do to help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His head throbbed even more. "I thought you said you were doing some kind of time-travel thing? Why would you have to wait here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley blinks, then shakes his head. "Okay... maybe I didn't make it clear before.

You and me lie low for a couple days and wait this thing out. Once we're free, I travel back in time to this evening, so I can still make my date with Dinah." He looks at the clock. "Logistically speaking, me from three days in the future is in this same point in time right now, just somewhere else, about to meet with Dinah."

	Oh sweet merciful... "..Okay, you can take us someplace. i don't care so long as it isn't insanely noisy." No way in hell he was having Riley spend three days in his lab. God only knows the damage. Max removes his pill bottle from his pocket and holds it up. "If I hold this still, can you open it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure thing, dude." Riley offers a hand, assisting in opening the bottle. "You not feeling well? Every been to Sydney? Or Honolulu? We can just chill on the beach for a few days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An old complaint," Max said by way of explanation, setting the bottle down so he could remove a pair of pills. Max raises his unshackled hand up for Riley to see. "I think my pale pallor will answer that question for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm..." Riley tests the length of the tether. "Arcade district in Tokyo? Nothing but video games." He smiles, hopefully. "We should be able to play one at a time, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wouldn't we need two hands for that? And wouldn't everything be in Japanese?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Down, down-forward, forward, fierce is still pretty much the same in any language, and I think we've got enough room to be able to play. Smart guy like you's probably great at games." Riley grins encouragingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll just buy a language guide. I'll be able to read the language in a hour." Max's tone wasn't cocky, just frank. He shrugs. "I wouldn't say great." (Reply to this)(Parent)
