[Max- Max's Mirror, to be precise, looking very much how Max would look at a carnival- stops short next to the front seat of the ride. She glares down at the giraffe strapped into the chair.]

Heyyy, I was gonna sit there.

[She looks at Ellie with a pout.]

Come on, that's my spot!

[backpacking]

[ Ellie looks at Max's Mirror, considers the demand, and then wiggles her prize out of the spot and deposits it in the waiting area next to where she'd stepped in. ]

There. Better? [ She's happier having human company, anyway. ] No worries, right?

[dodged_and_burned]

[Max grins the moment Ellie takes the giraffe out. She steps into the cart, trying to squeeze into the restraint almost before the stuffed toy is completely free.]

Not a biggie- [With a twist she manages to get herself fully secured in the cart.] Ellie, right? [The Mirror produces a Polaroid camera from beneath her jacket. Apparently she'd sneaked it onto the ride- and, if Ellie is watching closely, she might also notice the side holster and pistol beneath Max's jacket, only briefly visible.

Mirror-Max angles the camera without really giving Ellie a chance to reply.]

Smile! It's selfie time.

[backpacking]

Yep. So you're... Max's Mirror?

[ If so, she's automatically nervous, but she always has a weapon on her person, so... only time would tell how this might end.

She does notice the holster and tries not to look too uneasy. ]

Cheese? [ She offers weakly, but she's barely finished saying it before the flash goes off. ] Should you bring that with you? What if you drop it or something?

[dodged_and_burned]

Righto! I may not be the original but I'm a damn fun replica.

[Max's grin widens as she takes the picture out of the camera and shakes it, looking eagerly at the blank Polaroid while it slowly develops. But her expression becomes pained at Ellie's last few statements, and she tucks both the camera and the picture into her jacket. She pinches down on them with her arm, locking them in place.]

First of all i'd be incredibly pissed. [But it's too late to do anything about it as the ride jerks into motion. Max continues to look worried during the slow ascent to the top of the first hill.]

...But it'll probably be okay. And worth it!

[And if not she can always rewind once she's off the ride.]

You been on one of these before?
