[ it is easy, to throw himself into administering the vaccines and cures, spending the nights compiling notes about Zymandis, about the timelines, everything he knows, everything he suspects. it is easy to keep busy — easy when it's what he needs to do. but he doesn't let the busy keep him from checking in on friends; when he pauses to think, he isn't sure he ever... told Maya about checking himself to quarantine. never gave her reason to worry for him, too, that's what it was, but maybe — maybe she should still know he's fine.
and he wants to know she's fine, too. ]
Hey, Maya? How's my favorite Ace Investigator doing?
[ the message comes in the middle of the day; joking, light, because she's worried enough... and anyway, he's fine. ]
[He hasn't. But she's had a lot to do (and popped by the quarantine himself, so she's vaguely aware of where he's been) so she hasn't had much time to think about what Stiles has been up to or what he's been up to. Sooner or later she would have checked on him (stuff got pretty intense when Peter was infected, after all...) but looks like he beat her to it.]
[She's pretty happy to hear his voice]
Stiles! It's about time, how the heck am I supposed to investigate without my assistant?!
[A huff... but she's not really mad] --- Just kidding! I'm fine, just busy with curing people and some dorks. How about you?
( it took a little investigating of his own to find out who he needed to get in touch with, but as things slow down in Woodhurst, or get as close to slow as they're going to get... Graham finds he has an apology of sorts he'd like to make, and he'll do it with more than just words. )
Maya, isn't it? I'm not sure if you remember me, but we met at laser tag, and again at the mall.
[ One day while they're chilling in Terra Felis, Maya gets a small box filled with six packs of these. They're sealed so Maya can eat them as a snack when she's outside. ]
I found these in the markets, I hope you like them!
[Outside of Maya's hotel room, she will find... a monstrosity. It's big. It's terrifying. It's... a cake made in the image of a burger. With it is a note, which reads:
Starlight,
Thank you for coming to my party. :) Don't eat this all in one sitting.
- MTT
Being 70% frosting, it's not the best cake in the world. But it's the thought that counts, right?]
[ the minotaur is dead, or dismantled, or whatever-the-hell-the-technical-term-should-be,and Stiles? surprisingly enough, feels more or less like a living person still. the fight was exhausting, he's fairly sure he'll need twenty years of sleep before even attempting his shields again, but as ever, sleep eludes him — and so he takes to what he knows will make the anxiety bubbling underneath his skin calm down a little, and goes to find those he knows, those he cares about, making sure they're alright, in one piece.
which leads us to now, with Stiles' voice carrying over the slight distance it would take for him to make it to where Maya is sitting: ] Maya? You doing alright?
[ as soon as he's close enough, he's getting a foil-wrapped rectangular something out of his pocket and holding it out to her. ] Beef jerky, got it from one of the new guys. It's not exactly a burger, but... [ better than nothing. better than the food they've gotten so far in the maze. ]
[It's been a long... however long it's been. Maya found the minotaur's power core and handed it over to Peter, and since then the exhaustion's started to creep up on her. Turns out exerting yourself a lot on little sleep and food isn't a great idea, and even Maya can run out of energy. She's dozing off periodically when Stiles spots her, and she wakes up abruptly (at the smell of food) and gives him a tired smile]
Score! I'll take anything meat-like!
[She unravels it ridiculously quickly for someone who was just half-asleep and shoves the whole thing in her mouth. She's beauty, she's grace, she's... talking with her mouth full]
[The third person he finds near the kitchens. No surprise there. Maya has a stomach as big as her heart (...in that it's big. Metaphorically. Unless humans are known for literally having bigs hearts, in which case he's sure it's the same.) For someone so tiny, Maya's appetite is a never-ending black hole of Little Shop of Horror references. Still, the predictability is never a bad thing -- if anything, it's endearing.
Mettaton meets her by sitting himself onto a table, his hands hidden behind his back. He kicks his legs to and fro, beaming.]
[If there's a universal hangout spot for Maya anywhere, it's the kitchens. She never misses an opportunity to stuff her face, and she's doing just that when her manager stops by. She gives him a big grin and waves, swallowing... whatever she is that's chewing so fast she nearly chokes]
idk a week-ish after the cure maybe?? handwaves timing | audio
and he wants to know she's fine, too. ]
