Pricefield

Pricefield is the femslash ship between Chloe Price and Max Caulfield from the Life is Strange fandom.

Canon
It is not known exactly how Max and Chloe met, but at some point they became best friends and started spending a lot of time together. Each was a frequent guest at the other's home.

Bonus Episode: Farewell
At one point Max's family due to his father's job had to move to Seattle, leaving the country they had always lived in, Arcadia Bay. Three days ago, the girl goes to see Chloe and she thinks she doesn't have it yet and she doesn't know how. Most of the objects Max interacts with will bring to mind moments she had with Chloe.

Depending on the player's choices, Max may try to tell Chloe twice, but is interrupted by either way. While the two "tidy up" Chloe's room, they find an old message they had recorded as little girls in which they had hidden a treasure and decide to find it.

The two eventually find the treasure that turns out to be a time capsule filled with their childhood memories. Max can then play a message on the answering machine of the mother of a schoolmate of Chloe's about the fight between her daughter and the young Price. Chloe can reveal that she lit a Bunsen burner next to the other girl after she made fun of her clothes and the fact that she goes to her school on a scholarship.

Max can now be able to tell Chloe that he is going to live in Seattle and if he tells her, Chloe reveals that she already knew, having heard their parents talk about it. The two then promise that they will always be united regardless.

Soon after, Chloe's mom, Joyce Price, comes home accompanied by a policeman, and gives Chloe the terrible news that her father has died in a car accident. Max is devastated, although obviously less than Chloe and Joyce.

Max attends the funeral, but leaves soon after and is desperate for being taken away by his parents as he watches Chloe and Joyce through the back window. Chloe returns home and slowly walks upstairs to her room to find a note with "I'm sorry" attached to her cassette player. She plays the tape inside to hear a message from Max. The message varies depending on whether Max has chosen to tell Chloe to move to Seattle or not.

Regardless of the version, Chloe bursts into tears as she listens to the message before hugging the recorder, curling up with it in a fetal position. After some time, Max and Chloe lose contact, or rather the brunette begins to ignore Chloe's messages. Despite her Chloe's anger at her, she thinks that if Max reappears to ask her to play pirates as they did when she was little, she would accept without thinking twice.

Episode One: Awake
Chloe thinks about Max and briefly talks about it to Rachel Amber. When exploring Chloe's room, many memories of Chloe and Max's friendship can be found.

Episode Two: Brave New World
It turns out that Chloe writes letters to Max which she then doesn't send them and the content of those letters shows that Max still misses a lot. It is later rumored that she misses Max most of all, when she finds out that they have closed a restaurant they used to go to.

Episode Three: Hell is Empty
Chloe continues to write unsent letters to Max and the girl plays a role in her nightmares. If the player wishes, Chloe can tell Sera about Rachel's biological mother about how Max left her and how much she meant to Chloe in an attempt to get her to meet her daughter.

Life is Strange
Five years after his move, Max won a scholarship to Blackwell Academy and returned to live in Arcadia Bay. However, he initially did not contact Chloe, even though she wanted to.

Episode One: Chrysalis
One day in the bathroom, Max sees her classmate, Nathan Prescott, kill a blue-haired girl who she doesn't currently recognize is Chloe. The shock allows Max to unlock her chronokinetic powers and thus rewinds the time by a few minutes. Discovered that she can turn back time, Max decides to save the girl and after the lesson she runs into the bathroom to prevent the murder. By setting off the fire alarm, the brunette distracts Nathan and allows Chloe to escape. In her room on campus, Max has brought at least one old photo of herself and Chloe and thinks the longer she waits to call her, the worse it will be. Shortly thereafter, while talking to her friend Warren, Max is attacked by Nathan who discovered she was in the bathroom. At that precise moment, Max is almost run over by Chloe who recognizes her immediately; being called by her name, Max recognizes her too and runs off, jumping into her pickup.

Along the way, Chloe throws a few digs at her friend, and regardless of the player's choices, Chloe will blame Max for not even contacting her to tell her she was back in Arcadia Bay. Eventually, however, she invites her to her house to try and fix her camera, with her stepfather's tools. Walking around Chloe's room, Max finds many memories of their friendship and while looking for a CD for her he finds a photo of her with Rachel Amber, a girl who has been missing for about a month. Chloe gets a little angry but eventually admits that after Max moved and father died, Rachel had become her lifeline. Chloe's anger towards Max still emerges in their dialogue, yet he doesn't hesitate to tell her about his and Rachel's plan to go to Los Angeles. Max doesn't appear jealous, but it could be due to remorse.

Wandering around the house in search of tools, Max continues to rethink his friendship with young Price. Looking at Max's photos, Chloe sees one that makes her realize she was the one who triggered the alarm. If Max confirms she will be thanked. Chloe might get a little angry if Max reveals that she told Principal Wells what happened. Then Chloe gives her William father's camera to Max as a belated birthday present. Max is initially reluctant to take it, but Chloe insists it would be used wonderfully in Max's hands and takes the photo taken by the brunette as a symbol of their renewed friendship.

Chloe plays loud music and the girls start dancing, but soon they are interrupted by David, Chloe's stepfather who can't stand music. Chloe tells Max to hide somewhere, and puts the joint she was making on the table. David walks in and asks Chloe if he took one of his missing guns, but Chloe denies it. David notices the joint and immediately asks for an explanation. At this point the player can decide whether to let Chloe be scolded or to have Max take the blame. Chloe's reaction will vary based on the player's choice. Regardless, the two go to the lighthouse where they went as children and start gossiping about David and Max can reveal to her friend that she has discovered that David is keeping the house under surveillance by cameras. Then Chloe confides to Max that she was drugged and photographed by Nathan, and that she wanted to blackmail him. After Max collapses after having a vision of the city swept away by a cyclone, she initially doesn't believe Chloe, but when she starts snowing, she admits that something strange is going on.

Episode Two: Out of Time
The next morning, Max gets a text from Chloe asking her to meet at Two Whales Diner. Max comments that he likes to have Chloe back in her life, despite all the crazy things that have happened. Chloe arrives at the diner after a while and immediately wants proof of Max's new powers. Max complies by telling her the contents of his pockets. One of the first comments Chloe makes about Max's power is, "Maybe you made a move on me and I would never know," which could suggest that Chloe subconsciously wants this to happen. Chloe then asks Max to go with her to a secret location to further test her powers.

This is a great sign of trust in Chloe, and even though Max was on the verge of telling his friend Warren everything too, in the end he will never talk to any of her powers, except Chloe. Before they leave, Max gets a call from her friend and schoolmate Kate. If she chooses to answer, Chloe will get a scolding from Joyce and will be mad at Max for preferring one of her that she sees every day. If Max doesn't answer Chloe will be happy to escape the restaurant before her mother can start a scolding, and give Max a high five. The two girls go to the city dump, Chloe's secret refuge. She expresses her joy at Max's return to her life and Max's superpower. After the brunette exercises her power, she passes out from using it too much.

When Max recovers, drug dealer Frank Bowers arrives and demands from Chloe the money she owes him. Midway through the conversation, Chloe notices a bracelet on Frank's wrist belonging to Rachel and she aggressively asks him where he got it. At that point Max threatens the dealer with a gun that Chloe stole from David.

At that point Max threatens the dealer with a gun that Chloe stole from David.

If the player decides to try to shoot it turns out that the gun is unloaded, but Chloe will be impressed by Max's courage. If the player decides not to try to shoot, Frank grabs the gun and walks away, to Chloe's anger.

Regardless, the two start chatting on the train tracks. They talk about Frank and Rachel, and Max expresses his desire to build another "pirate fortress" where she could be alone with Chloe. As Max gets up to take a photo of the sun, he has another vision and shortly afterwards he hears Chloe asking for help. Max realizes that Chloe is stuck inside the tracks, and he has to be quick to free her because a train is approaching. Although the way changes according to the player's choices, Max manages to save Chloe just in time and Chloe hugs her by declaring that they are now tied for life.

Chloe later accompanies Max back to Blackwell. Upon arrival, they have a brief conversation about chaos theory and Chloe leaves Max and leaves to go home. In the final cutscene, Chloe can be seen texting Max as they both witness the eclipse.

Episode Three: Chaos Theory
.Max is awakened at midnight by a text from Chloe asking her to meet in front of the campus. If Max decided to shoot Frank in the previous episode, Chloe will jokingly propose to marry her, although Max replies that same-sex marriage is illegal in Oregon for the time being.

Chloe scares Max when she approaches, yelling "booyah" joke that Max doesn't appreciate, especially if she wasn't able to prevent her friend Kate from committing suicide in episode two. Regardless, Chloe immediately apologizes and says she doesn't know how to deal with such situations. Chloe is not one to apologize for easily more proof of Max's importance to her.

They talk about Kate and Rachel and decide to look for clues so that nothing like this happens to anyone else. The two begin rummaging around the school using the keys Chloe stole from David.

The young Price suggests examining the principal's office first, but soon discovers that the key to that office is missing. She reveals to Max that she learned to pick from Frank some time ago and tries to crack the lock while Max decides to call Warren to ask him for a hint for help. When Warren once again mentions her invitation to go to the drive-in and Max replies whether she can go or not, the camera focuses on Chloe staring at Max, in a way that suggests she's gotten jealous. Eventually Max manages to break into the office by rewinding time and her friend is greatly impressed. As they prepare to leave, Chloe rummages through the drawers of the principal's desk and discovers an envelope full of money that is labeled the school's handicapped fund. Chloe wants to get it to pay back Frank, and the player has to decide whether Max will allow it or not.

If Max decides to pay Frank, it would allow him to find more clues about Rachel and get a drug dealer out of her friend's way, Chloe gleefully hugs Max and offers to take her off to Portland with the remaining money.

But if she isn't allowed to steal, she's a little upset, but then she takes advantage of it to convince Max to take a clandestine swim in the school pool (which the two will do anyway, even if they robbed the school. Max finds himself again. unable to turn down Chloe's offer as she feels that after the crazy events of the day they "deserve" some fun). Chloe asks Max to turn on the pool lights, then dives in and starts swimming. When Max approaches her, Chloe sprays her with water, inviting her into the pool and she jumps into the water. The two start squirting and Chloe looks happy even though it's obvious she still misses Rachel. The two start chatting and the blue, notes how the chronokinesis she has developed is changing Max's personality in a positive way and is certain that her power was unlocked when Max had to save her due to the strong connection between them. Max retorts that Chloe makes her feel more confident about herself actions, and Chloe replies that Max is her reason for staying in Arcadia Bay.

Chloe sees Max as the smartest and most talented person she knows and promises to never leave her. When Max then brings up Rachel about her, Chloe does not claim to find her better than her but declares that she is not her groupie than her, which implies that she actually prefers Max.

The arrival of the guards forces the two to flee and since she cannot return to her room, Max goes to sleep at Chloe's house, as she did as a child. In the morning, Max takes a selfie in which Chloe fits in. The two then start talking about the events of last night and Chloe urges Max not to be afraid to enter the Everyday Heroes contest. Since Max's clothes are soiled with chlorine, Chloe offers her some of the clothes Rachel left with her for when she slept there. Max can also take a look at Chloe's cell phone; if Max supported Chloe enough in previous episodes, there is now a photo of her in the background and no longer one of Rachel.

Then Max comments that Chloe was nice to try to understand the meaning of her vision.

Opening the closet, Max initially doesn't want to wear Rachel's clothes because they are a different style, but Chloe encourages and challenges her to kiss her, a decision that will have a crucial impact on their relationship.

If the player chooses not to kiss her Chloe goes back to her bed and notes that it wasn't that easy to let her kiss her, and Max may have already used her rewind power after kissing her. Chloe also jokes that she will write to Warren that Max is saving for him and it is later revealed that she did indeed text Warren. Max will write in her diary that he was going to kiss her, but he didn't want to do it as a joke and that he was afraid of her and that she likes that Chloe is so fearless. If the player chooses to kiss her Chloe then takes a few steps back in surprise and observes that Max is "hardcore". Max's arms linger in the air, which somehow suggests that if Chloe hadn't jumped back, it would have been longer. Chloe also jokes that she will write to Warren that she has no chance unless she has lesbian fantasies and even here, it is later revealed that she did indeed text Warren. Max will think Chloe's expression was priceless and in her diary she will also mention that it was cute the way Chloe looked embarrassed after the kiss.

Either way, Max later states in his diary that "Also, I think Chloe sees Rachel Amber in her future ..." Chloe compliments Max on how Rachel's clothes fit and the brunette gets out and helps Joyce prepare breakfast, telling her about Rachel and Chloe.

Joyce may reveal that Chloe has told her over the past five years that she would like to be more like Max. David comes home and an argument breaks out in the living room. Max has to side with David or Chloe.

In the first case, the girl points out that there is no evidence against Joyce's second husband and a Chloe asks Max to rewind the time to change the outcome. In the second case, Max notices David's threatening attitude towards the students and his creepy files containing information about Kate and Rachel. This causes Joyce to chase David out of the house. This visibly pleases Chloe, and she asks Max not to change her decision.

Max later informs Chloe that she has seen photos of Rachel and Frank and that they looked much more than friends, but Chloe is quite certain there could be no romantic relationship between the two. Max doesn't insist, but convinces her friend to search Frank's camper. Chloe likes the RV and thinks it would be nice to use it for a trip with Max, who likes the idea, but convinces her friend to get busy instead of daydreaming. Eventually Max finds clear evidence of a love affair between the young Amber and the drug dealer and shows them to Chloe that she's upset and complains that all the people in her life have abandoned her in one way or another, including Max. The brunette later tries to calm the blue, reminding her that she needs her. Feeling shocked by Chloe's outburst, Max will take a look at the last photo Chloe's father took of them after returning to his dorm room and that will activate another aspect of her powers: the ability to go back in time. through photos. Max takes advantage of this to save William, preventing him from taking the car and preventing Chloe's life from being ruined. After having succeeded, she starts jumping happily, dragging thirteen-year-old Chloe with her.

Back in the present, Max rushes to Chloe and has a nasty surprise: in the new timeline, she had the accident and became paralyzed.

Episode Four: Dark Room
Max and Chloe go for a walk along the boardwalk, and this is where Max finds out how Chloe ended up paralyzed from the neck down. Max discovers that in the new present she has stayed in touch with Chloe, but only through letters and that they never talked about the incident. Here too Chloe continues to consider Max as her best friend and is very grateful for her visit.

Later the girls return to Chloe's house. Max feels very guilty for having reduced her friend to that condition, albeit unintentionally, and Chloe notices that the conversation she has had with Max is probably the longest she has had in a year. Max continues to apologize for not visiting her friend and after a while Chloe feels like watching a movie together like in the old days and asks her to put on the Blade Runner DVD. Max warns Chloe that it is best for her not to fall asleep like she did when they were children. Ironically, it's her Max who falls asleep to her, and the next morning having a headache, Chlo asks her to take her morphine injector.

Walking around the house, Max discovers that Chloe's condition is deteriorating and that she will soon die. After having morphine, Chloe wants to see old photos of her and asks Max to bring her album of her and then young Caulfield turns her pages for her. Chloe claims she knows exactly what's going on despite her parents not telling her about the doctor's report and begs Max to kill her to end her suffering. Spending time with Max reminded Chloe of the happy times they ran around Arcadia Bay playing pirates, and Chloe wishes to keep this memory as her last. It is up to the player to decide to grant this request: if he decides to do so, Max turns the knob of Chloe's morphine drip to the maximum. Chloe thanks her and says she is proud of Max for following her dreams of her. Chloe says she loves Max and asks not to forget about her. Max promises to never forget her and adds that he will see Chloe sooner than she thinks. If Max doesn't give Chloe an overdose, Chloe will lash out at her, angry that her best friend didn't help her with this request. She wants Max to leave and never come back. In both cases Max focuses on the photo and goes back to 2008, when she and Chloe were 13. This time, she lets William leave the house and begs the 13-year-old version of Chloe for forgiveness, although she obviously doesn't understand why.

As soon as the previous timeline is restored and Max notices that Chloe is back as before, he runs to hug her. If Max decided to kiss Chloe, she jokes, "Whoa! Down, Max! You have a kiss and now you're on me ...". If Max hasn't kissed Chloe, Chloe will instead say "Oh yeah, now all of a sudden you want to kiss me? You've had your chance." Either way Max will reply that he is happy to see Chloe and Chloe will thank her for the "morning pack".

If Max hasn't kissed her before, she will state in her diary "I've never been so happy to see Chloe in my life. The moment I saw her blue hair and that pretty pissed face, I regretted not having. . kissing her when she challenged me twice. Maybe if the double dog had challenged me ... ", If Max kissed her instead, she would write" I've never been so happy to see Chloe in my life. I saw her blue hair and that beautiful pissed face that I wanted to kiss her again. "

Later a conversation is possible between Max and David coming to get his things if Joyce threw him out in which she declares that she will not allow anyone to hurt Chloe. If Max has managed to prevent Kate's suicide, she will tell her friend that before continuing their investigation, she must visit Kate at the hospital. When they get there, Chloe confides to her old friend that hospitals have always scared her and apologizes for being angry when she answered Kate's call. The punk then notices that Max rescued Kate as he did her and waits patiently outside the room while Max chats with his schoolmate and the aspiring photographer thanks Chloe for coming with her and the two make their way to Blackwell.

On campus, they run into Mr. Jefferson. Max immediately acts shy with him (he is a famous photographer whom she admires very much), and this is noticed by Chloe who gives her a curious look. Max introduces Chloe as a friend of his, and when Jefferson tells Max to come to the party where the winner of a photo contest will be announced, Chloe says she'll be there as "Max's date". She later teases her friend a bit but without malice.

After searching Nathan's room, Max and Chloe go to the beach to meet Frank and get the code for his account book. They have a quick conversation inside Chloe's car about Rachel and their trip to Portland. Chloe says they couldn't have imagined it would happen to them when they grew up.

Depending on the player's choices, Frank can die, get hurt, or do nothing, but Max and Chloe will get the cipher anyway. If Chloe killed Frank, she will cry and Max will have to calm her down. Chloe says she will go to the police and promises to take full responsibility for Frank's murder.

Their investigation takes them to an abandoned barn owned by the Prescott family. Before going to the barn, Max proposes to call the police, but Chloe retorts that Nathan's very wealthy family can buy everyone and that they can only trust each other. At the barn they discover a hidden underground bunker beneath which was the dark room Nathan was talking about and there are photographs of Rachel Amber, Kate Marsh and other missing girls from Arcadia Bay. The punk insists on running to the junkyard where the photos are supposed to have been taken and rushes there with Max in tow. The two girls dig into the ground where Chloe recognizes and find Rachel's body. Chloe bursts into tears and throws up and Max tries to comfort her.

That night the two go to the party where they know Nathan will be there too. Max notes that with all the evidence they found, Nathan would certainly be arrested, but Chloe states that Rachel would like revenge and is sure that with Max's help no one will be able to stop her and asks if he will help her. Max reassures her that she will be by her side until the end.

Max then stunned notices that there are two moons in the sky, but Chloe doesn't care. Max tries to make her understand it's serious, but Chloe is obsessed with avenging Rachel and doesn't listen to her.

Young Prescott is not at the party and so the two friends go to inspect the dorms, however a message in which Nathan declares that he will destroy the evidence, makes them run to the landfill. Unfortunately, once they arrive, someone shoots Chloe killing her and drugs Max. Before she passes out, she can see that it is Professor Jefferson.

Episode Five: Polarized
Max discovers that Professor Jefferson is a psychopath, obsessed with taking pictures of drug addicted girls, because he believes that mental numbing makes the photos more natural, leaving the purity of the subject intact. It turns out that Nathan had mental problems and that seeing Jefferson as a father figure, he tried to imitate him by drugging and photographing Rachel, but he overdosed on the doses, causing her to overdose and kill her. During the photography session, Max threatens Jefferson that he deserves to die for what he did to Chloe and Rachel.

Max using a selfie, manages to return to the beginning of that hallucinating week and vows that he will never allow anyone to hurt Chloe again. The brunette also tells herself that she doesn't care what happens to her, but that she has to save Chloe. Max sends an anonymous message to David and arranges for Jefferson to be arrested and in time to save Chloe, he hands over her photo, winning the contest. In this new version of the week, she and Chloe have re-established their old friendship anyway and it shows that Chloe was with her as she packed her bags to go to San Francisco. From the messages it is clear that Max was close to Chloe after Rachel's death was discovered and obviously saved her again from Nathan. After Max communicated her win to Chloe on Wednesday, the punk was evidently very proud and happy for Max. While calling Chloe from the art gallery, Max discovers that the tornado has indeed hit Arcadia Bay, and Chloe presumably dies from it, while on the phone with her.

Max has no choice but to change the past once again, and so he finds himself back in the darkroom at Jefferson's mercy. Luckily David intervenes and Max, rewinding time so that he is not defeated by Jefferson, manages to be saved and once free, he gets a photo from Warren to return to the night of the party. Like when she was back from the first alternate timeline, Max as soon as he sees Chloe alive and well rushes to hug her.

Max forces punk to listen to her and tells her about what a deranged fool Jefferson is, and what happened to them because of him, and she comes to reveal to her the alternate timeline in which she prevented William's death. Chloe is shocked at what her old friend has had to go through and finally lets herself be persuaded to report Jefferson to David, who with the help of the police will arrest the insane, while the two of them will spend the night at Chloe's house, completely safe.

Since she will soon forget what happened for a while, Max begs Chloe to tell her she traveled using a photo, and she will believe her because she will always believe her. Convinced her friend Max moves away from her taking her hand.

Max wakes up on the beach with Chloe and the two are safe from the tornado. Max hugs Chloe and is relieved that she has finally managed to make her survive. Chloe offers to get out of Max's life after everything she put her through, but she disagrees. Then Chloe once again mentions how well Max has handled all difficult situations and that she is the best friend a human can have.

Shortly after, Max loses consciousness and experiences a disturbing nightmare in which Chloe appears multiple times and is particularly prominent towards the end. She is portrayed in most of the scenes in a harsh way, telling Max that she is not worthy of her attentions, or that she should never have returned to Arcadia Bay. Her abandonment issues are heightened, to play on Max's guilty conscience. She is also shown romantically with different people to make Max jealous.

Eventually Max finds himself at the diner, where she finds a doppelganger of her own who calls her selfish, for messing up Chloe's time. If Max Chloe is her best friend, her impersonator will scornfully comment that he ignored her for five years and just when she needed her most. Ultimately he will insinuate that Chloe doesn't really love her, but just then the young Price enters the diner, saying that he won't allow the bond between her and Max to be broken.
