[Max would personally like to know when this insanity with her workplace was going to stop.

Not that she minds the atmosphere, but she picks out her own clothes every day for a reason. She doesn't trust the castle's fashion choices. She enjoys her jeans, tight leather, and everything else. She didn't ask to have her wardrobe altered upon arrival to work. She especially didn't ask for a skirt.

Yet, every time she walks through the door, she's instantly dressed according to the castle's liking. At least today's skirt actually leaves her with room to move. She's not even going to touch what it did to her hair.

Regardless, she is there, behind the bar, and trying not to complain. It's not anyone's fault but the castle, so she might as well shut up about it. But that won't stop her from frowning at herself in every reflective surface.]

[Steve doesn't look any different than usual unlike his coworkers. He's not sure he likes the change going on here. He's come to love the Lux as it is. Steve cannot deny he feels a little more comfortable though. He wonders if maybe that was what the castle was going for. Regardless of that he doesn't like the fact his friends got dragged into it. No fun being comfortable if they aren't, right? Speaking of which, there is one of them. He can afford to speak with Max for a few minutes while things are slow.]

Hey Max. [Not commenting on her appearance. Nope. He does think she looks nice even if it isn't very Max-like.]

[glances over with a smile as she works on drying off some of the glasses. She appreciates him not commenting on her appearance.]

Hey. Good day so far?

[valuedstrength]

I'd say so. I'm not sure if the change of scenery is helping or hurting us yet.

[shrugs as she places the glass back]

Everyone loves a theme week.

[hopefully this only lasts a week.]

[valuedstrength]

[Steve smiles at that.] That's what this is? [He can't help appreciating the fact what's normal to him seems like a theme here.]

[whatialways_do]

Only thing I can think of? I mean, this isn't something we normally do.

[valuedstrength]

It's not. [Steve nods in agreement before adding.] It's like home for me.

[whatialways_do]

[that makes her glance his way.]

Yeah? Huh.

[valuedstrength]

[Steve hesitates a second before adding:] This might sound crazy, but I think this might be my fault.

[glances over]

Why do you say that?

[valuedstrength]

Well... my birthday is coming up and this place starts to look like home around the same time. It's a pretty bug coincidence.

[whatialways_do]

Huh. Not a bad birthday present.

[valuedstrength]

It's nice to have something familiar. [He wants the others to enjoy it if that is the case.]

[whatialways_do]

Yeah, it is.

[thinks on this for a moment]

Maybe this place'll turn into Crash on my birthday.

[or, you know, something classier]

[valuedstrength]

Is that your favorite spot?

[whatialways_do]

[nods]

Me and my friends used to chill there back home.
