WHAT || Shenanigans.
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres Isle, etc!
WHEN || October
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of the first half of the month. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.

Also, following the promotion and squiring parties at the beginning of the month, Wynn will be taking any willing Knights back to Andres Isle to further reconstruction efforts there.   There's plenty to be done - and an election to gear up for, to find out who will rule Andres Isle!

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

Kenzi ] ♙ [ London & Andres (ota)

[morethanasidekick]

London

[Even after the fighting is over with, Kenzi doesn't immediately head to Andres, mostly because the way she'd heard it, the reason for being there now is clean-up and in the land of Kenzi?! She couldn't even be bothered to clean up her own Quarters, why on earth would she voluntarily clean up a whole Country?! She makes herself, almost useful at least... well okay she mans the front desk a lot of the time and hangs up on more than half the people who call 'The Karthur Institute' but if anyone has mastered the art of looking busy while doing as little as humanly possible?! It's this tiny human.

She's also making the most of an emptier than usual Castle so don't be surprised if you find her in the armory playing with weapons she has no idea how to use or generally just making a nuisance out of herself if you happen to be working on something that requires concentration because she's Kenzi and she gets bored.]

Andres

[And why does Kenzi eventually make the trek to Andres?! Because somebody pointed out it has its very own throne room and how many times in your life are you going to be able to take a wine aided siesta on a friggen Royal throne?! No. Really. That's exactly why she's in Andres. That and the selfies. And finding out there's Dictator booze to be raided. Sure she knows the regular alcoholics have already gotten a lot of the good stuff but this is Kenzi?! If anyone can sniff out a bottle of scotch that costs more than everything she's ever owned?! It's this functional alcoholic.]

[badexample]

[Andrew doesn't have a lot of business on Andres, but he sort of goes where Bo goes since his work is pretty portable. He's still in the lovey honeymoon phase so he's happy to just be close to her.

So he's got his laptop out and just setting up at the palace in one of the rooms when Kenzi comes in, selfie queen extraordinaire. He glances up at her.]

What are you even doing?

[morethanasidekick]

[Andrew catches her, mid pose, her phone held in front of her and some fancy vase-like thing that could probably be sold and get her a penthouse in London, resting on a stand just off to her right. Everyone breathe a sigh of relief as she makes her Will Save to not jump and knock it over. (19)]

Casing the place. [(Bluff 25). Kenzi blurting out the first words to even pop into her head. The problem with making jokes like that when you're Kenzi? A little too believable.]

[badexample]

[Yeah, his sense motive is in single digits. Whoops.]

You're planning on looting this place? You realize we're here to rebuild this whole island, don't you?

[morethanasidekick]

Wow, you're like the third person today that just instantly believes everything that comes out of my mouth. [At least she's being nicer to Andrew and telling him the truth. Could have something to do with that whole, this one time she maybe sort of stabbed him thing.] This place is awesome!

[She turns her phone around and finally lets him see what all the fuss is about.] Instagram.

[badexample]

Please tell me you have that account friend locked. [What part of secret organization is so hard to understand oh my god.] Or at least that you're telling people you're doing some sort of weird European castle tour thing.

[morethanasidekick]

Pshhh. Like I would be that stupid as to just let anyone see this stuff.

[...

Bluff 28.]

[badexample]

[Remember that time Andrew got a nat 20 on his sense motive to see through Kenzi's bs?

Oh, wait it's right now.]

Give me the damn phone.

[He holds out his hand, because wow he is not okay with this.]

[morethanasidekick]

Oh my god calm down! It's not like I tagged it 'Knights hanging out in Andres after driving out an evil dictator. [Wis 17.

She does however, hand it over with a huff just so Andrew can see for himself.

Upside? She's not lying. Downside? The odd shot of people wearing armor? Probably not a good thing.]

[nosdacariad]

[ guess who catches you in that throne, kenzi.

guess. :|

mark pauses in the doorway to the throne room, staring for a moment, before he doubles back inside, and says: ] Don't tell me I missed the election.

[morethanasidekick]

[The opalescent slit as Kenzi cracks open one eye is the only real indication that she's stirring at first, one leg hanging over the arm of the throne, arms and upper body draped over the other and on the floor beside the throne is a bottle of half finished wine. No glass. Hope you weren't expecting classy here, Mark.]

I took a poll... [The other eye cracking open.] Of one. [Shifty eyes. No bluff check cause she's neither trying or, technically lying.] And I won by a landslide.

[She's fully aware who she's talking to right now - (Wis 19) - but there isn't a trace of chagrin about her as she blinks away the sleep in her eyes and stretches through a yawn.

In her defense? Shame is for pussies.]

[nosdacariad]

I'm not sure that really counts as power derived from the people. Just sayin'.

[morethanasidekick]

[With her hand over her heart and a look of shock on her face, Kenzi feigns offence (Bluff 27) but it's so dramatic he'd have to be pretty gullible to swallow it.]

Are you trying to say that I don't count?

[nosdacariad]

[ he's... pretty gullible. ] Well, uh. No, I mean...

You're not even from here.

[morethanasidekick]

I could be?! [Um... No.] Maybe I'm from my worlds version of Andres, you don't know.

[Bless. It's like he has a neon sign that reads sucker above his head.]

[nosdacariad]

I... guess that's a good point. Sometimes I forget that's even a thing, now.

[morethanasidekick]

[Seriously?! Seriously...]

Dude. If you're gonna be King we're going to have to work on your bullshit detector. I mean that wasn't even a good lie.

[bittersweeter]

If you ruin another one of my jackets, I might have to kill you.

[ there is a faint hint of teasing to her tone as she steps into the training room. but really. this is a different leather jacket, but she's no less attached to it and kenzi did murder the last one.

also hey. ]

[morethanasidekick]

Don't worry! [She raises her hand to show Lila what looks like a throwing star.] Rubber. [A beat.] Somebody already confiscated the real ones.

[The shit you learn from Veronica Mars. /hi5.]

[bittersweeter]

[ thanks jesus for that. ]

You know there are people here you can teach you to be less of a catastrophe, right?

[morethanasidekick]

Yeah but what's the point in getting trained in something when I haven't decided what my somethings going to be?! Right now? Leaning towards crossbow but I'm keeping my options open.

[bittersweeter]

[ her nose wrinkles. ] You can be trained in more than one something, fyi.

[morethanasidekick]

Yeah but that sounds like effort?! [The fact that she's even looking to train in one thing is impressive for her.]

[bittersweeter]

Annnnnd being an abject failure sounds like pathetic so...

[morethanasidekick]

And only specializing in one thing makes somebody an abject failure, how exactly? Rather make one thing my own than be average at everything.
