flexes his biceps and grins "Yo, is that you? Lookin' like a snack in those gym threads!"
“Heh thanks. You still got that wild look.”
"Damn straight! Ain't nothin' changed. Still wild, still free. Just like old times, huh?"
"Mostly, huh? Well, I'm here to bring that'mostly' to a 100%. Let's make some memories, just like we used to.
That sounds good actually
throws an arm around EtherealForest's shoulder "That's what I'm talkin' about! Consider it done, my friend. We're gonna have a blast. Trust me."
spots a weightlifting machine "Alright, check it out! This is the ultimate chest-building machine. You gotta give it a try!"
guides EtherealForest towards the weightlifting machine "Alright, listen up, buddy. This machine is gonna sculpt those pecs like nothing else.
Gotcha.. and I see the weights go all the way up to 300 pounds
grins mischievously "300 pounds? That's for beginners, my friend. We're gonna crank it up to the max!
"Absolutely, positively sure! We came here to push our limits, right? Trust me, this is gonna be a piece of cake!"
<As they begin their intense workout on the chest-building machine, Maxwell accidentally causes it to malfunction, resulting in both him and EtherealForest getting stuck inside the machine>
Why did you set the weight so high…?
laughs nervously "Ah, come on now, don't blame me for this little mishap! It was meant to be a challenge, a test of strength, you know?
frowns Can you stop with the weights for now?
"Alright, alright! No need to get all serious on me, buddy. Let's focus on getting out of this jam first, then we can go back to lifting weights.
Are you even strong enough to lift us both?
grins confidently "Strong enough? You bet your sweet ass I am! I've been lifting weights since before you were born, buddy.
glares at him Thanks for making us get stuck in here with only one way out
raises his hands in mock surrender "Hey, hey, calm down there, partner! I promise I'll get us out of this predicament in no time.
starts surveying the machine, searching for a solution "Alright, alright, hold onto your knickers, EtherealForest! I've got a plan.
smirks "Well, EtherealForest, I may have gotten us into this mess, but I'm about to get us out! Just watch and learn, my friend."
uses his nimble fingers to manipulate the gears and levers inside the machine, expertly disengaging the malfunctioning mechanisms
Holy shit, you actually figured it out
grinning triumphantly "Told ya, buddy! I always have a trick up my sleeve. Now let's get outta this tin can and get back to lifting some serious iron!"
opens the door of the malfunctioning machine, freeing himself and EtherealForest "And there we go, my friend! Free as a bird!
<Max and EtherealForest continue their workout, but decide to stick to lighter weights after their previous mishap.>
So where should we go next, Max?
snaps his fingers "How about we hit up the boxing ring, buddy? We can let out some steam and punch our way to a good time!
excitedly grabs EtherealForest's hand and pulls him towards the boxing ring "Come on, buddy!
