WHO: Kenzi and Kang
WHERE: Kenzi's room at the MAC
WHEN: Not long after this.
WARNINGS: Uh...drunk shenanigans?
SUMMARY: Kenzi's upset about getting a getting hit with a Double Rainbow charm and Kang's curious to see. Also drinking of good ale.
FORMAT: Prose?

Piccolo had left not too long ago and now Kenzi was rushing around her room in an attempt to make it more presentable. Normally she wasn't the type of girl to do regular house keeping. She figure as long as she could walk around without stepping on something it was fine right?

But then guests would come over and she couldn't really have them tripping over all her junk. And while Piccolo had been an unexpected guest she was expecting Kang.

Her dirty clothes were quickly stuffed into the hamper. Her collection of lifted wallets was shoved under her bed. Dirty dishes were put in the sink, where they should have been to begin with. The empty bottles of various drinks were tossed into a box that would from then on be known as the recycling box. She decided to just stack the pizza boxes up near the recycling box. Were pizza boxes even recyclable? They had cheese and sauce stuck to them but she assumed they were.

She took one more quick look around her room to make sure it was presentable. What she wouldn't give to have a Brownie living with her. Once things were clean enough, in her mind, she flopped on the couch and turned on the TV while she waited.

"Math won't be a problem. The few examples I've seen were things I knew already from working with siege engines." Angle measurements were simple for Kang.

"...we do?" Well, shit. "Yes, Teyr is our nation."

Kenzi laughed. "Good. Because I'm terrible at it."

"Mmmn, yeah. Apparently crazy 'porter lady doesn't like people returning home with any knowledge they collected here. But apparently, if you come back, you usually regain that knowledge."

Kang snorted, taking a long drink of his ale and relaxing into the couch. "Doesn't seem very fair."

"Yeah, well, s'not very fair of her to bring us here in the first place. Even if it is holding off my possible death."

Kenzi slammed down another shot before rising from the couch. She wobbled for a moment before shaking her head and making her way into the kitchen. She dug around in the freezer for a few moments before returning with a bottle of tequila. This she didn't seem too concerned about pour shots for, instead she took a swig after settling back down on the couch. She cringed and cleared her throat.

"I mean, hell, at this point I'd even welcome Vex into this god damned city."

"No, it isn't. I have too much shit to do at home, and a mate." Kang cursed under his breath, watching Kenzi. "How the hell do you have all this alcohol already, on $200 a week? You found a job that quick?"

He paused, frowning. "Possible death? And who is this Vex person?"

"A mate...as in..." she trailed off with a grunt and another gulp from the bottle. "Uh...well kinda? And really I don't spend much. A couple of pizzas will last a week or longer which leaves more money to spend on booze." Truth was most of the money she had made was stolen or conned out of people. And the booze...well mostly stolen too. Or free thanks to her being a cute girl and guys just being stupid.

Kenzi licked her lips and shifted to get more comfortable. "I was stabbed just before being pulled her." the tone in which she spoke was just so casual about it. Like getting stabbed was an every day thing for her. Must be the booze.

"And Vex is a Dark Fae. Complete creep-o with the ability to control people like they're puppets. Which is cool I guess but ugh!" She shuddered. "He just so creepy and gross."

"Actually if I could wish for anyone to be here it'd either be Bo or Hale. Maybe Dyson as long as he's not going to be a dick."

Kang quirked an eyebrow. "The closest term other races use is wife, but we don't marry, so I can't really call her that. And what about clothing?" He was getting the feeling her methods of acquiring things weren't exactly legal.

"Fae?" He guessed. "You seem to be in pretty deep with that group. Not Vex, judging from your earlier comment."

He poured himself another shot of vodka, feeling pleasantly buzzed. "You know some interesting people."

"Figured that much. Same term Dyson used since apparently wolf-shifters mate for life. And given Fae lifespans...that's a long-ass time. And thrift stores dude."

She took another drink and shifted around again so she was lying down with her knees over the arm of the couch. "Yeah. Hale's a siren which apparently are supposed to be female but he ended up taking after his mother. Thank god because apparently she wasn't a super bitch like the rest of his family. From what he told me she actually liked humans and thought that the Fae would benefit better by living more closely with us." She smiles softly. "I'm really glad he took after her. I don't think we could be as good of friends as we are if he hadn't."

She gave a bit of a nod. "I am. Bo claimed me as her human so I'm allowed to know all the stuff I know and other Fae aren't allowed to do anything to me. Not...that that stops the Dark Fae most of the time."

She sat up and took another drink before flopping back down. It was probably getting close to time for her to put the cap back on the bottle and let it go. Not that she would any time soon. "Dude don't I know it." She gave a little giggle.

"We don't necessarily do that. Fon can... pick someone else if she decides I've pissed her off too much." Kang smiled to himself, finishing off his ale. He was pretty sure it wouldn't be for a long time, if ever, and he really hoped it'd be the case.

"So it's a form of protection, or at least, it's supposed to be." He glanced down at Kenzi, and then at the tequila bottle with a grin. "I don't think you need to have much more, unless you want a hell of a hangover tomorrow."

"Fon?" She repeated that a few times then giggled. "Guess it doesn't work that way for wolves. Hell Trick told me Fae doesn't even allow divorce or separation or whatever during the first thousand years. ...He might have been kidding." She shrugged.

Kenzi looked up at him with a curious look on her face. "Form of protection?" It appeared she's already lost track of the conversation.

She raised the bottle and looked at it before shrugging. "I know the perfect cure for a hango--" She frowned and lowered the bottle. "Oh right...Hale's not here for that."

Kang laughed, "Fonrar. You'd like her. She's smart, and doesn't put up with shit."

He waved a hand. "Don't worry about it. What is this cure?"

Kenzi spaced out for a few moments her thoughts drifting back to home and her friends. Eventually she shook her head in an attempt to clear it.

"Oh he can do this whistle thing that can make your head feel better. Works way better than coffee."

"A siren thing?" Kang asked, leaning his head back and enjoying the buzz from the alcohol.

"Yeah it's a siren thing. It's definitely one of the more pleasant whistles. I've been on the receiving end of some of those unpleasant ones... They hurt."

She takes one last drink from the bottle before putting the lid on it and dropping it to the floor. Where it would remain out reach until she felt like moving again.

"It's through Bo that you know about all of these Fae. How did you meet her?"

"She saved me from this creep that had roofied a drink he gave me. Yeah, yeah. Smart move Kenzi taking a drink from some strange guy in a bar. But I thought if I took it he'd go away. I was wrong. He followed me an elevator and it was about then the drugs started to take. Luckily Bo was working there that night and followed." She grinned and gave a bit of a laugh. "She ate his face. It was awesome."

She stopped and thought about what she just said. "Uuuuh...when I say she ate his face I don't mean she really ate it. She sucked the life out of him. Never seen a dude look so happy and be dead at the same time."

Kang frowned. "Not your fault he chose to do that. It was probably too good of a death for him." He clearly wasn't a fan of behavior like that.

Kenzi frowned as well. "No...but you'd think I'd learn. And probably. It probably would have been more befitting if his face had been eaten."

One arm dropped off the side of the couch, her hand groping blindly for that bottle. Sadly it was out of reach.

One foot moved the bottle closer to Kenzi's hand. "It would have been hell to explain to the authorities, though. And messy."

Just one more good drink. That's all she needed. Now she's done for the night.

Maybe.

"That's where Dyson and Hale come in. They take care of all the strange cases that are Fae related and with the help of some higher ups manage to cover them up. So it wouldn't have been hard for them to just explain it away."

"That's handy," Kang smiled, leaning forward to pour himself another shot. Either the vodka wasn't very strong, or he'd kept his somewhat better than the average human's alcohol tolerance.

Kenzi watched him pour another drink for himself before letting out a laugh. While she hadn't kept up with how much he'd been drinking it still seemed like a lot. "Dude, remind me to never try and have a drinking contest with you. I'm pretty sure I'd lose."

Kang laughed as well, flopping back on the couch and patting Kenzi's arm, "I don't know, I haven't tried walking yet."

She lazily waved a hand at him. "I would suggest trying but I'd hate for you to fall over and break my shitty coffee table."

"I'm too comfortable to move anyways. I think we should do something about what we're watching, though."
