( Wall of Text Goes Here )((tl;dr: Max went missing for a month. Max has a crazy-looking sunburnt look on his forearms and face. After being in some crazy fantasy Japanland for the last year, Max can now make nails, when provided with raw materials and a forge. He gave some to Char anonymously. ))
Hey, I'm real sorry I was gone for a month. I fell into a green warp thing and I didn't get back until now. Celibi or whatever. Slowpoke was in my cargo pocket so I had company anyway. If I missed out on anything we had planned, I apologize for not bein' here. Vinnie, I'm sorry I left you without a commander. Smash Fundamentals students, I'm sorry I left you without a teacher or a class or nothin'.
If somebody could fill me in on whatever's happened since I was gone, I'd appreciate it.
