The lawyer's words and mentioning of such specifics immediately put Max on edge but she kept herself neutral outwordly and inwardly for the time being. But the more she learned from the woman speaking after the lawyer just made the feeling grow. If this woman simply wanted to 'just visit' then why did she need a lawyer and the big men that she definitely only had for intimidation. Then the woman dropped the first bomb, the smaller one that hinted at the real reason she was here.

10 million for the island and 1 million for each worker! What kind of money did this woman have to just throw around like that? It didn't matter though, money wasn't something Max wanted, even if it was tempting, the government had given her enough after the incident, so the money the woman offered didn't phase her. What did phase her and only added to her previous feeling of being on edge and something being off was the way the woman called Haven [i]'the facility'[i] made a part of Max uneasy. It also didn't help that this woman wanted to buy Haven and basically pay off the workers, which made Max believe that she didn't want to keep Haven running. The opposite of what her mother would have wanted.

"I won't show you to my boss. But I will bring you somewhere she can meet us at. Although I'm gonna have to ask your security team either hand over their weapons or leave them on the boat that brought you here. We are a peaceful place and don't need them throwing off that way of life. If they want to keep their weapons then they have to stay on your boat. I'm afraid that is non-negotiable." Max couldn't quite tell what theyhad on their belts because the weapons were hidden well enough so she was not okay with them being brought further into the island when she lacked her own gun. Of course she wasn't going to tell them she had a gun, she was just lying a bit to ensure the safety of those on the island. Not anything she'd ever regret.

"Once they do whichever, they can follow after us. We are just heading to the cafeteria. It is our main building and will serve as our meeting room today for you and your group." She began walking back towards the place she had just come, walking backwards the whole time so she could see what the guards decide to do. As she walked she pulled the radio out of its holder on her hip and brought it up to her mouth, "Charlie this is Max. We have some visitors who wish to speak to you." Max paused as she looked at the main woman, "The main one is the daughter of the woman who gifted you this island and Haven. I'm bringing the group to the cafeteria. Over."

When they got to the cafeteria Max grabbed the door and opened it, holding it open for the group to enter. "If you are hungry or thirsty go ahead and help yourself to anything you'd like."

Interacting with Naomi _@RisenSun and Elizabeth + Crew _@Legion02

---

Duke's tail wagged happily, thudding each time it hit the floor as Naomi gave him attention. He loved attention and being around people because it meant more attention. Max simply rolled her eyes with a smirk at her lovable pup, as she finished the apple just in time for Naomi's question. "It's holding up well, but we are about to enter storm season so I'm expecting some more maintenance issues soon. I honestly don't think the island could be doing better, I could go into my nitpicky issues and slightly paranoia of lack of any occurrences for awhile but that's for another time." Max joked as she slid her knife back into her ankle holster. Max liked Naomi, well Max liked everyone on the island but Naomi being younger than most everyone else made Max a bit more protective over her. Almost like she was a younger sister. But in all honesty, Max was protective of every person on this island and if it were like war. She would lay down her life for each and everyone of them if there were ever a time.

The small smile that had come from talking with Naomi faded when the bionic armed woman looked out the window with the view of the dock. There was a small group of people on the dock and they were not from around the area. It was obvious with how well dressed the woman was along with her beefy security guards and some other disheveled looking man. Oh how Max wished she had her gun on her right now, all she had was two hunting knives hidden in her ankle holsters. "I guess I spoke too soon. Take Duke with you and go to Beau and Sam. We have some visitors."

Hopping up and rolling her shoulders, Max hastily made her way out of the cafeteria. Once she knew she was visible to the group she made sure every step of hers held confidence and strength and that her posture gave off the same. She didn't know who they were dealing with, if it was someone any of them knew about then they would have known someone was coming. Once she got close she stopped when she was 15ft from them and stood with her feet apart and arms crossed over her chest, her face remaining neutral. "Who are you and what is your reason for being here?"

CANCELLED.

As Miriam packed her books into her backpack at the end of the day she heard the buzz of her phone indicating a message. Zipping up her backpack and putting it on she grabbed her phone from the bottom of her locker before closing her locker, curious about who could be texting her. Unlocking her phone, the message opened and with every word she read the more uneasy she felt.

From Trent:
Tonight you are going to be my date to the party. That means you need to look the part, the little church girl look isn’t going to cut it if you are going to be my date to a Helmsley party. Don’t worry about figuring anything out on your own though I went ahead and took care of everything myself. Just show up at the Revolution Salon at 6, I know a few of the girls there. They will take care of you. That also means I will know if you show up or not, so you better show up unless you want your poor, poor brother to be outed to the whole school and our whole church.

I’ll pick you up from the salon at 8:15.

Taking a shaky breath and clenching the phone a bit tighter in her hand, Miriam mentally cursed not only Trent’s name but her parents’ names too. All three of them were guilty in her mind, all three of them horrid people. But that didn’t matter, what mattered was taking care of her brother. No matter what Trent wanted.

Miriam left the school and found her brother, going home until it was time to go to the salon. When the time rolled around Miriam got an Uber over, mentally preparing herself for whatever was going to happen at the salon. When the Uber rolled to a stop, Miriam internally cringed. The salon while it looked very nice also was very expensive looking. She could just tell she was in for a hell of a time.

Entering the building she was greeted by a young blonde receptionist with a fake smile. “You must be Miriam, Trent told me about you on the phone. You don’t need to worry about anything we will take care of you. Come right this way.” The receptionist stood and began walking, her heels clicking with each step. They eventually reached a stylists personal room and the receptionist opened the door for Miriam. “Anthony will be doing your hair and makeup, his assistants will do your nails and then they will get you dressed to match the makeover just in time for Trent to pick you up.”

The young Archer nodded and tried to enter the room but before entering a hand tightly gripped her bicep causing her to turn back to the receptionist who was now glaring at her. “I dont get why he’s treating you so specially. You are nothing special, honestly you aren’t even attractive but whatever. When he gets bored of you he’ll come right back to me.” With a smirk the receptionist turned on her heel and walked off just leaving Miriam staring after her slightly shocked.

“As if I want any of this…” She whispered under her breath before shaking her head and entering the room. Miriam instantly regretted entering the room as two woman grabbed her hands and pulled her to the middle of the room where a man then began to circle her like she was his prey.

“Hmm what type of look would be best and the most daring and shocking transformation with minimal effort. Right now she screams good girl with the long hair and conservative outfit but I think we can make this good girl look more… femme fatale. That is of course you are okay with that sweetheart?”

It took Miriam a moment to realize the man, Anthony she believes it was, was talking to her now. Actually asking her if she was okay with the transformation. As if he could read her mind he smiled kindly. “I’d never do a makeover without actually consulting the one being madeover. I know the boy who got you this appointment had very specific details and things he wanted… but to me I can almost feel the fire burning in your soul and I want to bring that to the outside. No girl hidden away, no sexy bunny or whatever ridiculous thing that boy wanted. Just you. Beautiful. Gorgeous. You.

Only if you want though.”

Awestruck. This man left her awestruck. He was not what she was expecting and for that Miriam was thankful. Unable to find the words she just nodded, giving the man the go ahead to transform her. Tonight anyone at the party would see a whole new side of her and she was ready now more than ever.

Another Day Of Sun

Definitely Interested!

Ocean Rescue

By the time the sun had begun to peak over the horizon Max had already completed all of her normal morning routine of a jog, a shower, security and radio system checks, and the first routine security check of the area for day. Now she just had to be on alert for the day and be there to provide assistance to the team until the next security check, although usually by then the other members of the security team are up and take over those checks.

Having ended her security check by making sure the rescue boat was functional, Max was currently down at the docks. Standing on the end of the docks she looked out to the ocean taking a deep breath. The world she lived in now was a lot different then what she used to live in, it was a good change for Max even if she had fought her honorable discharge before getting this job. This was the right place, even if she missed some of the adrenaline rush.

At the sudden touch of a wet nose on her arm, Max was brought out of her thoughts and looked down to her dog giving him a scratch behind the ears. A whine then escaped the dogs lips causing Max to roll her eyes and smirk. Flexing her bionic fingers and rolling her neck she turned on the heel of her foot. "I get it boy, let's go eat before we get too into work."

Duke let out a bark and began to run causing Max to have to jog to keep up with him, the two shortly making their way into the cafeteria. Duke happily making his way over to the other people already in the cafeteria in hopes to get some food scraps while Max went to where she kept Duke's food, having kept up the routine of feeding him when she eats in the mornings which always helped her to remember to eat. Putting his food in a bowl and grabbing an apple for herself. Walking over to a chair she set the bowl on the ground for Duke who immediately ran over after getting and scraps he could while she used her knife, that she pulled out of her boot from her ankle holster, to slice her apple, eating the slices.

So need about 2 years for recovery, 3 years for current job, and at least 5 years in the military... so 28... but I'll say 29 just to add extra time for recovery cause bionics take some time to get used to using plus training a dog
Gonna edit my age and get to work on a post

Ocean Rescue

@Belle How long back from the start of the roleplay would the facility have been started? I need to factor that into my age math

Max Walker

Maxine Rosanne Walker

||Age||

29

||Occupation||

Head of Security

||Brief History||

Max Walker is ex-Marine turned security after an accident lead to the lose of her lower right arm. When she lost her arm it was an uphill battle for her, she fought through a lot of dark times but eventually came out on top. She then proceeded to do loads of research into prosthetics and bionic prosthetics eventually buying herself a bionic arm. Upon finding a job offering to work with marine animals even if it was just through the security of the facility, she quickly took the job. It fit into her love of water, protecting others, and animals perfectly. She also would be able to offer some assistance when it came to prosthetics for animals as she had knowledge about prosthetics that others wouldn't that came from just living with one that could prove useful.

||Anything Extra||

Max still struggles with the loss of her arm from time to time, sometimes experiencing phantom limb pains along with just PTSD from her time in the military along with the more severe PTSD from the event. The event that caused the loss of her arm is a subject she refuses to talk about and gets very cold and shielded if brought up. Due to her severe PTSD she does have a service dog, she also trained the dog to be an attack dog if need be due to her line of work since it is always with her. Her dog's name is Duke.
Due to being ex-military and an ex-marine, Max has many survival skills and is trained in combat. She is able to operate boats and is pretty well versed in the layout of the island. She almost always has a small knife hidden on her person and depending if she is going into deeper parts of the island that day, will carry a machete strapped to her hip. Occasionally, although rarely, she will have her small hand gun on her. Typically that is kept in a safe in her room. The key hanging on the chain with her dogtags around her neck.

edit: on a side note I may change my characters age just because length of experience in the Marines plus length of recovery before going to the island... i am starting to think it does not add up to 26 if you can only join the military at 18... but idk... i need to do some more research... if anyone knows more about military stuff please let me know. It may save me time haha
