My name's Maximilian Justice Powers, and I'm comin' clean. Don't think anybody here even knows my full name.

My dad died when I was 12 in a border skirmish with Blue Moon. My mom washed laundry for a living to support me and her. I was a crummy kid after my dad died, and I never did what my mom told me to do. I got into the wrong sorta people at school. I'm sorry I did that now, and I don't think I ever told her after I grew up. Army straightened me out when I was 16.

When I was 15 I used anabolic steroids for about a year, maybe a year and a half. I was a big, angry kid, they made me bigger and angrier. When I got into the army I had to get clean. Been clean ever since. But I always tell people I'm all natural. I am. But I wasn't always.

Killed three men when I was 17. I learned to stop countin' after that. But I'm probably directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of army men. I'll tell you it was for a good cause, that it was done in the defense of the people of Macroland and Omegaland. But I ain't gonna lie and tell you I ain't killed before. 'Cause I have.

My best friend Grit and I were in love with the same woman, Nell. She's now my boss. And she's married to my best friend. When she asked me if I was okay with her marryin' my best friend I lied and told her I was. I wasn't. When Grit asked me to be his best man I said I was happy for him. I wasn't. I sat there and I cried as I hugged him and told him I was happy for him when I wasn't. I think he knew, though. We both pretended it we both didn't know, though. Sometimes its hard to go back home and see them together.

One time for a week I was Green's Blastoise and another time for a week I was Bulba. If at some time you ever thought one of them was actin' weird for a week, it was probably 'cause we'd switched bodies. I guess that happens a lot here. But I didn't tell nobody when it happened to me.

If I ever told you somethin' that wasn't true, I'm sorry. If you want to ask me somethin' about me, now's your chance.

[Private level 1 to Green]
We need to talk. You know why.

[Oh my God.]

I wish everyone was as honest as you were!

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Yeah, though I ain't as honest as I should be. I kept secrets.

[mailcalltime.livejournal.com]

I don't know what spurred this sudden confession but I hope you feel better getting everything off your chest.

[That is the coolest middle name ever!]

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Little bit, yeah.

::It. Is.::

[Vinnie read this and basically choked on his juice in a desperate attempt to not spit his drink over the keyboard]

So... you just told everyone your lifestory.

...Feel better?

See, "private" here is sort of ironic

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Little bit.

You got any questions you wanna ask me about me? Now's the time to ask them. I'm an open book, Private.

[Yeah here we gooooo.]

::Maximilian Justice Powers arrived at 6pm sharp (covered in sweat, mind you, but sharp) to Bulba's room to pick him up. He knocked on the door.::

[blazinglizard.livejournal.com]

What's up with the big confessional, Max? You find religion or something?

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

No, I just had a conversation with a guy that made me wanna come clean.

We should probably talk about stuff, but maybe you don't wanna have it in my journal. I ain't good at makin' this stuff private.

[thewunderkind]

Oh ewww I did not need to know all of that.

[ihaswillpower.livejournal.com]

At least he has willpower, unlike you who doesn't even have the determination to eat and make-out at the Kissing Booth!

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, now you know.

[ihaswillpower.livejournal.com]

Bet it took a lot of willpower to say all of that.

[Though he's not sure if you're safe to be around, simply because you have killed before and well... he doesn't want to end up as a statistic]

Max with all of those negatives in there I have no idea what you're saying

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

What, no, nothin' that nobody else couldn't have done.

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

... Justice. Powers.

You ain't making that up?

[It sounds like something out of some dumb comic book what the hell he is secretly kind of jealous.]

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

No. It's my name. Maximilian Justice Powers.

There's a reason why most people just call me Max. Nobody believes it when you say that's your name.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[Wow.]

Wow.

[That was pretty...wow.]

Feel good confessin' like that?

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[ALSO. JUSTICE POWERS. HOLY CRAP, JUSTICE. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG]

Maximilian Justice Powers

MAXIMILIAN JUSTICE POWERS. RAIDEN KNOWS A GUY NAMED MAXIMILIAN JUSTICE POWERS. NOT ONLY KNOWS BUT IS BROPALS WITH. OH MY GOD MAX YOU SOMEHOW BECAME EVEN COOLER IN RAIDEN'S BOOK IF THAT WAS EVEN FEASIBLY IMAGINABLE.]

[whitedeviljack.livejournal.com]

Wow, Max that's... that must of taken a lot. Everything alright?

[Private, hackable]

[icequeen-aran.livejournal.com]

[That was. A large amount of information. Duly noted, Maximilian Justice Powers. WAIT THAT. THAT WAS YOU WHEN BULBA AND THE VINES AND THE BLEEDING AAUUUGH you totally had her fooled.]

I can respect honest and the courage it must of taken to lay everything out like that. Did something spur this, Max?

Re: [Private, hackable]

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

::Now suddenly does it make sense about why Bulba spent an entire week in trying to get his back to rip open?::

Yeah, somethin' did. Talk with a guy made me realize I needed to live up to my own standards.

SPAMMING ALL THE BLONDES

[stay-classy-cat.livejournal.com]

[Oh ho ho how delicious. Your autobiography handed on a silver platter will be noted and remembered, Mister Powers. If only everyone could be as forthcoming about themselves as you.]

BLONDES SUCK, BLUE ROCKS

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

::You do realize, don't you, that if absolutely everyone knows this that you can't really... hold it over his head or blackmail him with it or anything?::

[orangestarbeats]

[This is. Awkward.]

So, um... Feelin' any better? About whatever it was that brought this on?

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a little bit.

If you ever wanted to ask me somethin' I guess now's the time to ask.

[all-range-mode.livejournal.com]

That's one hell of a life story.

[That is hands down the greatest middle name of all time. I'm jealous. Mine's probably something lame like Lloyd or Larry something.]

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I left parts out of it. Been through three wars, but that ain't so much a secret to people here, probably.

::Your middle name is. . . . . . DUSTER.::

[more private]

[redisaloser.livejournal.com]

Uh, care to enlighten me?

[more private]

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Maybe it'd be better if you talked with me in person. I'm the guy who told Bulba about. Stuff.

[will-be-god.livejournal.com]

I see.

You confess to violence yet you dismiss it. Interesting.

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

I led my army through three different wars. I've seen a lot of action and a lot of death. My own troops and the opposition's.

It's a fact of the job. If I spent all my time goin' over it I'd go crazy. I grieve in my own way.
