WHO: Kenzi and Gilbo
WHERE: Around
WHEN: 1/1; Late Afternoon?
WARNINGS: It's Kenzi and Gil, what could possibly happen? Probably some language.
SUMMARY: Kenzi's bored and going to drag Gil out to do things. He has no say in the matter. B[
FORMAT: Quickthings

[Kenzi's morning started off kind of shitty but she had no one to blame but herself. She drank waaaaaay too much the night before and was paying with it come early afternoon with a massive hang over. So she spent the first few hours trying to deal with that.

Eventually she felt well enough to get dressed and go out but what was she going to do while out? Other than get some delicious greasy food in her stomach, of course.

While she ate she though about what to do and eventually she decided she hadn't bugged Gil in a while. Once she was done with her meal she made her way to his place, it was too cold to just fly up to his window and wait so surprisingly she's at the door. Banging on it. If Gil doesn't answer quickly enough she'll start yelling as well.]

This seems really over the top, though...

[wisecracked]

That's how things go, dude! Everything that's an upgrade on the old has to waaaaay outdo it. Just wait until you see the quality of this film over that other.

[invoking]

They're always doing that here. I don't understand what's wrong with previous models. Like the phones they advertise. [ Basically, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

He feels so weird in this small and low chair, probably because his legs are so long. He looks around and sees more people entering from below. Wow, they got here just in time. ]

This must be a popular movie if these many people are coming...

[wisecracked]

Advances in tech means people are gonna want what's new and hot and in.

[Kenzi watches the people entering as well before shrugging.]

It's fairly new so of course it's popular.

[invoking]

Oh. [ He doesn't follow movies in the paper or read much of the entertainment section. He sits quietly now, not sure what else to say.

Trying not to think of other things is hard, though. The silence grows awkward, only the murmurings of the others entering the theater puncturing it every few seconds. ]

[wisecracked]

[It's called TV, Gil. Try watching it sometime.

Awkward silence? With Kenzi around? Maybe the awkward part but silence not so much.]

Okay, question. Have you ever, like, tried courting - that's the term you use right - someone? You always talk about your master so it got me curious. I mean...you're like what? Thirty?

[Plenty of awkward.]

1/2

[invoking]

[ His head snaps in Kenzi's direction so fast it may just pop off. ]

[invoking]

How did it come to this?!

[ Even in the dimly lit theater, the blood rushing to his cheeks is clear for all to see. ]

And I'm twenty-five!

[wisecracked]

[She tries not to laugh, really she does.]

Just curious, dude. And really?

[invoking]

Yes! [ Why, does it not show? He feels embarrassed thinking about it. He may be a man, but he's nothing like Master Oscar. That's a real man, he thinks.

Insert long-winded self-analysis on how he's really not like Oscar. (Cries.) ]

Courting is... [ He practically mumbles so no one else can hear their conversation. He looks away from Kenzi. ]

I've received... many proposals. But I couldn't accept any.

[wisecracked]

Huh. [She shrugs and stuffs some popcorn into her mouth. Unfortunately she almost chokes when he explains.

After gulping down some Coke and recovering she stares at him with wide eyes.]

Dude? Why? I mean unless you ain't into da ladies...or they were fugly.

[invoking]

[ -- Hot. It feels hot in here. He tugs at his collar lightly to allow for some air to pass. He doesn't pull too much, very conscious of the scar beneath the fabric. ]

What? That's not it at all! I like women just fine! [ He's ready to sink into his chair and not come out at all after that little outburst. ] I don't really... understand them.

And I'm merely a servant. Marriage is... it's beyond someone like me.

[wisecracked]

Dude, you ain't supposed to understand us. Just like we don't really understand you menfolk. It's the way life is.

[She gently pats his knee before settling back in her seat.]

I think you're just using it as an excuse.

[invoking]

Excuse? [ He looks back at her like she's grown an extra nose or eye. ]

[wisecracked]

[Oh look the lights are dimming and the credits are conveniently staring. Count it as a blessing Gil.]

Forget, the movie's going to start soon.

timeskip eventually? i saw the movie, too!

[invoking]

[ He reluctantly tears his eyes away from her to focus on the screen, but it's nagging him in the back of his head. What does she mean by that? It's not an excuse; it's the truth.

He needs to be by Oz's side and if that means marriage is out of the question, then so be it. Oz comes first. He always has. ]

[wisecracked]

[It's an excuse. Her loyalty to Bo was why she broke up with Nate. Because being by Bo's side was more important than her own happiness with someone she loved.

She stretches with an over-dramatic groan after the movie ends.]

[invoking]

[ Gil has to stretch his own limbs when the credits begin to roll and light spills into the room again. Damn, that was long for a movie. Then again, it's a musical... so maybe they wanted to preserve that part of it.

He actually enjoyed it, though. Something about Jean Valjean's character made him think about himself. Would he be able to let go of his own demons someday? ]

That was pretty good, actually.

[wisecracked]

[Kenzi might have actually dozed off at one point. Obviously this musical wasn't her thing.]

Eh. [She shrugs then rises to her feet.]

[invoking]

[ Gil's eyes had remained glued to the screen. He's bewildered by Kenzi's response after all that. ] You didn't enjoy it?

[wisecracked]

It was okay. I guess musicals aren't my thing. [She shrugged before stretching again.]

[invoking]

[ He's surprised; didn't she want to see this? ]

Why did you pick this one, then...?

[wisecracked]

Because it looked good. I guess it just wasn't the kind of story I actually like. [Yet another shrug before she smiles at Gil.]

But you enjoyed it right?

[invoking]

[ He wonders what it is about this one she didn't like. ]

What sort of stories do you prefer?

I did.

[wisecracked]

Mostly prefer movies with a lot of mindless action and violence. Anything else is hit or miss. Obviously this one was a miss.

[She starts to head to the stairs.] You hungry?
