"I'm telling you sugar you could get any male and a good chunk of females if you just relaxed" Moxxi spoke cheerfully to a nearly hammered Maya "Just because someone, especially a bandit, said something like that doesn't mean everyone is into that."
"I don't carree thatt wass dissgussting!" Exclaimed Maya. The event in question had occurred earlier that day while the Vault Hunters minus Gaige were clearing out a bandit den. One of the bandits had shouted out, "Once you're dead its golden shower time on your corpses!"
The other Hunters had responded with insults and gunfire except for Maya who had no clue what was happening. Naively she asked Salvador on as to what the bandit had meant, Salvador had responded with a toothy grin to ask Moxxi because she could explain it best. So she asked Moxxi who was more than happy to give her the full details. The echo vids were a bit much.
Now thoroughly shit faced in an effort to blank out the information Maya wasn't aware of her surroundings as she didn't notice as Gaige popped in. "I don't care what you say golden water sounds scary!" With that Maya passed out.
"Hey killer think you could carry her back to the archives?" Asked Moxxi smirking at the nonexistent tolerance Maya displayed.
Stomping her foot on the ground Gaige snarled, "I told everyone it's Palace of Science and Asskickery!" Then in a slightly subdued voice she asked, "Is golden water really that scary?"
Surprised at being asked that question again Moxxi replied quickly, "If done properly it can be quiet good." With that she resumed bartending for the various citizens.
Her mind a buzz with ideas Gaige ignored the various looks thrown her way as she dragged Maya by her feet all the way to the base and up the stairs to her room. Dumping her in the bed Gaige tenderly stroked Maya's cheek, "Don't worry minion Mama gonna take care your fear."
For the next several days loud clanging and banging could be heard from behind Sanctuary. The noises were often accompanied by bouts of maniacal laughter.
4 days later
Wishing she didn't have to drink more to build her tolerance Maya woke with another pounding headache. If getting drunk caused her memories to be hazy than that was unacceptable in her book but constantly drinking to fix that was painful. Moxxi was surprised when she came back asking again about golden shower, and for once Moxxi just told her that maybe less information was better. If Mad Moxxi was saying that then maybe it was for the best that the memories ended up being suppressed.
Pushing her thoughts to the side Maya staggered to the showers, grimacing as she heard Axton's off key singing. His singing grated on her hangover and o make matters worse the self-proclaimed Mistress of Anarchy skipped next to her proclaiming loudly, "Hey Maya! I got a shower out back for just us girls!" Ignoring the pained look on her face Gaige grabbed Maya's arm and began leading her. Desperate for a shower and to get away from the terrible singing Maya allowed herself to be led to a fairly new building behind Sanctuary.
Her fears were assuaged upon seeing Lilith exit what appeared to be the shower, for Lilith had perfect judgment and wouldn't use anything hazardous. "Maya you've got to use it! The shower feels so good. " Lilith said a blissful look on her face.
Throwing caution to the side Maya bounded in happy that there was no way anyone could peek in as she showered. Only downside was that the lighting was pretty dim but no singing Axton made it worth it. Flipping the shower on Maya allowed herself to relax.
Once the water was running Gaige quietly twisted the valve allowing a different liquid to enter the shower. Barely able to control herself Gaige barely was able to wait till Maya finished showering to hit the intercom button. Not bothering to suppress her pride filled voice Gaige cried out, "Hey Minion! Guess what!" Ignoring the surprised yelp Gaige eagerly continued, "You just took a golden water shower!"
A full minute passed as the memories Maya had buried surfaced and made themselves fully known. A cry of rage followed by the door blasted off its hinges Maya charged out her siren tattoos glowing brightly. Barely skipping out of Maya's lunge Gaige giggled madly before running away.
Short while later
"Moxxi come quick! You got to see this" chirped an enthusiastic Gaige. Moxxi's denial's died in her throat as Gaige finished speaking. "Maya just had a golden water shower and is modeling it off in the center of Sanctuary!"
Ignoring Hammerlock's outraged cries of how uncouth that was Moxxi hurried after the bouncy girl. If what she said was true then the sheltered ones were truly the freakiest. What she saw surprised her so much she slipped back into tribal, "Wha is gona on here?!"
Maya's arms were outstretched as if she almost managed to latch her hands around a short person's throat. Though what made her truly look odd was that firstly she was stark naked and seemed to be as frozen as a statue. The other is that for some reason her skin was gleaming as if she was painted gold.
Bursting with pride Gaige eagerly answered, " Minion say she afraid golden shower well Mama take care of that fear!" Adopting an innocent look she asked politely, "Though what is so scary about gold water?"
Still in a slight daze and thoroughly amused Moxxi replied, "I'll tell you later killer." Her face took more predatory look as Moxxi gave Maya a more through look over. Maya really did make a damn fine statute. If only the eyes didn't promise death to the various onlookers. "How long will she be like that?"
"Eh Claptrap was frozen for like 8 hours so no longer than that." Responded Gaige with a disinterested shrug. At those words Maya's glare intensified as she was trying to shoot lasers from her eyes.
