Kenzi [005] Video

[onteamdyson]

[Oh hey, it's Kenzi! She appears to be sitting on a bench... outside... with the sun setting and snow falling softly. Is she crazy?! At least she's bundled up and in layers, even if her bunny hat looks really stupid. There's some statue or something behind her, looks like a lady. She's definitely sitting in the cemetery, just chillin']

Hey biatches! So... not that I'm being totally nostalgic or homesick or anything, because that shit is for pussies, but-- [She winces, adjusting her position so she's supporting her right arm with her left. It tilts the video a bit.]

Which of you crazy freaks has never seen snow before? Anyone? Just remember that in a pinch, socks CAN be used as mittens. I'm willing to field any basic questions about this poor, misguided imitation of Canadian weather.



((ooc: She's literally just sitting around in the cemetery thinking about dark junk. Feel free to go up and bug her.))

[Aha! Sweet, sweet victory. Except, Kenzi can't even enjoy it because she's literally doubled over, holding her stomach, laughing at that dorktacular move. Oh my god. She can't even breathe for a few seconds there.]

If-- If I go over there to help you up, are you going to cheat like a bitch again!?

[gleans]

[ Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. He'll just groan a little and make sure his arms still work. ]

Nah, promise, you win. Ow. I can get up! [ He can! Slowly. Whee, spinny head. ]

[onteamdyson]

Yesssssssssss. [She loves winning. Galen actually lets her win. This is good.]

... Wanna head home? I think I'm sufficiently cheered up and definitely done with thinking.

[gleans]

[ With the help of a headstone, he's back on his feet soon and rubbing idly at his back. He nods and sniffs, feeling even more cold now. ]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna need dry jeans and some of that shitty coffee.

[onteamdyson]

Sounds good! I'll even make the coffee since I dragged out outta the warm.

[Come here, dorkfriend. She's just gonna wrap an arm around your waist there and transfer some of her warm.]

[gleans]

[ He's just gonna put an arm around your TINY SHOULDERS and start heading to the cemetery gates. ] You're a hero. ... And I mean seriously, I'd probably be losing my fucking mind right now if I hadn't met someone so cool right away.

[onteamdyson]

[Yes good. Perfect fit.] Awwwwh, makin' with the sweet talk! You're just lucky you were awesome from day one or I would have left your ass in the snow. Stick with me, kid. We'll survive this massively failtacular science experiment.

[gleans]

Hey, not if you start calling me kid, kid. I could throw you.

[onteamdyson]

Okay, first of all, Kobra Kid and Kid Blue. So just deal with that. Secondly, you could not! Your noodle arms? You can't even lift me! And I'm waaaay more matur--

[She can't even finish that sentence. It's so not true.]

[gleans]

[ No, it's not true. And neither is the statement before it! He'll prove it by using his arm over her shoulder as leverage to scoop her up, BRIDAL STYLE. ... And keep walking. ] Uh huh? Jesus, you weigh like, nothing.

[onteamdyson]

... I hate you so much right now. [She doesn't. This is actually hilarious. The guy doesn't even have super-human fae strength! What is happening.]

Remind me to keep the spinach away from you from now on.

[Notice how she's not asking him to put her down. Walking is for chumps. She's just gonna hang on and see how long he keeps this up.]

[gleans]

[ No super human fae strength, but despite his noodliness, this guy has lots of experience lugging gear. He's stronger than he looks! Not that Kenzi is any heavier than one of Brad's amps. ]

Huh, I don't see you complaining.

[onteamdyson]

Well obviously you're just not looking hard enough! There is so much subtle complaining going on up in here that I'm surprised no one spit in my food yet.

[Sure. Fine. Rockstar arms. Just for the record, she is way cuter than an amp and would not actually make Brad's guitar sound any louder, but you can bring her on tour anyway.]

... Hey, Galen? I know it totally sucks and I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but... I'm really glad you're here.

[gleans]

[ And he would! If he could. Needs moar lady roadies. ... He smiles, though, shifts his grip on her legs. ]

And this is the last fuckin' place I wanna be, and sure, we only met, like, yesterday, but. I'm really glad you're around to make it suck less. [ Just promise you aren't actually a psycho pretending to be cool to lure him in. ]

[onteamdyson]

Instant connection! Our friendship was meant to be. [No promises on the psycho thing. She's pretty cray cray in case you haven't noticed.] I can totally walk the rest of the way you know.

[gleans]

If you're sure... [ He sighs dramatically and carefully lets her legs go, supporting her middle. ] But seriously, it's just too bad we didn't meet under normal circumstances.

[onteamdyson]

[She stays standing in front of him for a minute, her hands resting lightly on his forearms.]

Hey. When we get out? I'll find you. Can't be too hard, right? You're famous. Face it, buddy, you're stuck with me.

[gleans]

[ He smiles and ducks a little behind his scarf again. ] Hey -- I'll give you my number, how about that? I'll scrounge up a piece of paper, you just keep it on you. Then once we get out, it won't be, like, fucking impossible to get ahold of me.

[onteamdyson]

Man. Getting a singer's number would have made me so much cooler in high school. Our timing in general sucks. But deal! I'll keep it on me always just in case. [And probably be ridiculously depressed if it really is a separate universe thing and no one picks up. She holds out her mitten-covered fist for a fistbump to seal the deal.]

[gleans]

[ He smiles and delivers that fistbump. ] Cool. Let's get back inside, I can't feel my ass.

[onteamdyson]

[Keep the joke inside. KEEP THE JOKE INSIDE!

Once they make it back home out of the cold, Kenzi heads straight for the kitchen. A few minutes later, she's setting a mug in front of Galen at the table.]

Here. Mocha sans Starbucks. Half instant coffee, half instant hot chocolate mix. We're out of whipped cream, I ate it all last night. [With a spoon. And nothing else.] Weren't you going to show me something?!

[gleans]

[ AAAHHHH, content sigh. He doesn't even care. He's lived off worse. ]

Wow, thanks. And -- oh, shit, yeah. [ A little grin. ] Don't freak out.

[onteamdyson]

... Don't freak out? Why would I freak out? Is there a reason I should be freaking out?! [Her eyes are kinda wide... there... Kenzi, maybe you should calm down.] Dude, I'm freaking out.

[gleans]

[ Uhhh, whoa! Maybe he should abort this joking mission. ] Whoa, whoa, hey, I was just kidding. It's about that stupid twin comment, I didn't wanna take my coat off. [ He rolls up his sleeve to... ta-da. ]

[onteamdyson]

What the hel-- [Oh. Well. That is not a reason to freak out at all! She was legit worried for a sec there, but this-- ... this is...] So. COOL! Oh my god, Galen that's badass!

[She reaches out to take his wrist and turn his arm around, grinning brightly.]
