Singles Awareness Day! aka Kenzi ][ OTA

[morethanasidekick]

[No but really how the hell is the chick with a disguise check of 39 (46 for the bros) actually single?! Probably because. She drinks too much okay. Which in a far from shocking turn of events is exactly what she's doing right now. Call it pre-gaming because she did not look this good for no reason. Maybe Kenzi will drag you out with her. More likely she'll get too drunk to be bothered going anywhere and end the night passed out where she lands.

Yeah. Definitely why she's single.]

There's got to be a morning after...

[procurer]

[ Walking out of his bedroom to find a girl passed out on his couch - while certainly not a typical morning for Hawley - has happened enough times over the past few months that he's not quite finding it shocking anymore. If anything, it has him stopping short for a moment and blinking at the sight, trying to remember if he'd known she was out here before deciding that no, no his rooms had most certainly been empty when he'd fallen into bed last night.

Still, he's more amused than upset as he wanders over to lean over the back of the couch, reaching to pluck a stray lock of Kenzi's hair off her face and tickle her nose with it. ]

Mornin', Sleepyhead.

[morethanasidekick]

[There are just some things that Kenzi can not be held accountable for when she drinks. It just so happens that drunkenly breaking into a friends room and passing out on his couch happens to be one of them. It could have been worse? She's neither naked or in his bed so at least the blackout induced wtfukkery that's about to come will be strictly PG-13.

Kenzi doesn't wake up so much as she makes a noise that sounds like the final death rattle of a comatosed bear. Her nose wrinkling and the pounding starting before consciousness can fully take hold.]

Shhhhhhhhh... [A hand that feels too heavy to actually be her own, lifts up from the couch and a finger mushes Hawley's lips partially across his face as she manages words.]

You're breathing too loudly...

[procurer]

[ Please. He's insulted. As if anyone would ever forget a night spent in his bed.

Her words get a huff of laughter from him as he releases her hair to grab at her hand instead, tugging it away from his mouth with a snicker. ]

Sweetheart, I'll do a lot of things for you, but breathing is one thing I can't give up, not even for you.

[morethanasidekick]

[His words are met with a wince. As if each syllable that passes his lips is a sledgehammer hitting the side of her skull and she continues to survey him through eyes that are slits as if deciding whether she's going to hold his continued breathing against him or not.]

You are so lucky I lurve you.

[There's an attempt to sit up which is met with a groan, her free arm slinging across her face to shut out the light.]

Can you turn off the sun? [Sounding more pathetic than ever.]

[procurer]

Yes, I'm pretty sure that I am.

[ It gets a laugh from him as he lightly props a pillow over her face to help block out the light. ]

Also not in my skillset I'm afraid, but what about some coffee and a tried-and-true hangover cure?

[pwnspatrickjane]

[Because this is a combination that won't go wrong ever.

Shawn is completely oblivious to what day this is because he doesn't have a girlfriend therefore he is under no obligation to celebrate it. But when he comes across Kenzi in her party gear, he can't help but get curious.]

Where's the party?

[morethanasidekick]

[Muttered to herself like a mantra.]Keep the joke inside... Keep the joke inside...

[There were just too many dirty responses to that question, okay?]

Excellent question. I'm thinking of calling an Uber and making them decide where I'm headed tonight. [A beat.] It's not like the secret location of the Castle is all that secret these days.

[pwnspatrickjane]

[Shawn nods slowly for a moment, before giving a small shrug.]

Sounds like fun. Kinda like party roulette.

[morethanasidekick]

Exactly. [Shawn it's like you understand her on a soulful level.] Man... how has nobody ever tried to make money off that before. It'd be a total winner.

[pwnspatrickjane]

Maybe it's like the next level in party planning. You can plan your party how you want it or you can take the bonus package where we will plan all of it for you. That is a risk you must take.

[scorekeeper]

[ Guess who doesn't judge a sexy hot mess? This guy. Doyle knew his own kind when he befriends it over a pint. When he saw the dress he let out a low whistle. He didn't even try. (Dis 9; at least he has pants and boots on.) He made his way over.]

Whatcha drinkin' love?

[morethanasidekick]

[If you're going to be a hot mess, at least have an emphasis on the Hot, Kenzi says, Doyle earning himself a grin as she preens a little from his whistle.]

They call it a squashed frog. [Kenzi sliding the shot glass in Doyle's direction so he can admire it.]

It tastes as revolting as it sounds but it looks neat?

[scorekeeper]

[ Nah, Doyle emphasis the Mess over the hot.

He eyes the drink a bit. Arching a brow. ]

I'm sure it's better than some o' the stuff I've drank, love. BUt damn if it doesn't look cool.

I want two o'em.

[morethanasidekick]

Lets all be grateful the castle bar has been restocked. [Bar Hawley might have been fun but drinks that weren't a little on the disgusting side weren't often an option.]

You heard the man! [Her hand coming down on the bar with a slap.] And by two he means four. [Shifty eyes.] Gotta love those free bar tab perks.

[scorekeeper]

Amen t' that. [ He chuckled a bit. Nodding when she doubled his order.]

Hell yeah, one o' the best reasons to be here. So, what's your plans for later, love?

[charismapotion]

[ Mars hadn't got to see much of anyone since he feel ill around Christmas. He kept himself locked in his room and refused to go to a cleric. Which was his stubborn way. So after reading outside awhile he made his way inside. He had almost gone back to his room but when he passed the bar and saw the red dress it took a second to click who that was. And the fact she was alone. How the hell...

He shook his head some and made his way over, as always keeping that respectable distance as he leaned down and put his elbows on the bar without sitting down, his hair was down and messy from the wind outside.]

What's a beautiful woman like you doing alone on this terrible excuse of a holiday?

[morethanasidekick]

I'm embracing singledom and giving myself an ego boost by seeing how man people will hit on me in this dress. [The reply coming matter of factly as Kenzi slides her drink closer and shifts her attention towards Mars.]

Admit it. I look super hot right now.

[charismapotion]

Well, you can get half of a boost from me, because while you do look stunning. [ Yes, stunning.] I don't care about that, I was more worried seeing you alone than what you were wearing.

[ Of all things Mars asked for orange juice, knowing there had to be some because mixed drinks and sat down beside her.]

Yes, you do look super hot, which is why you should be at a club making other woman jealous.

[morethanasidekick]

When your B-F-F is married and preggers? You embrace the solo single girl lifestyle.

[She at least doesn't seemed bothered by it, though it's hard to say if she means it or is just selling it well. (Bluff 42).]

Oh. I plan to be. This is the long practiced art of pre-gaming. They charge you like, 8 pounds for a brewski in London and I'm only a cheap drunk on Dollar Beer Nights.

[charismapotion]

I didn't know Bo was pregnant. [ He was sick a few weeks, he's behind on the latest gossip.] She must be ecstatic.

[ He feel for that bluff to, no high roll would save him on that one. So he just offers a small smile.]

Your going about it all wrong then, you gotta get the guys to buy your drinks. It'll piss of their girls even more. [ He teased a little.] Just be careful then, though something tells me you'll be just fine.

[valdrin]

[ val'drin didn't even put in that much effort, not that he doesn't look fabulous anyway (disguise 29). ]

Don't tell me you dressed up just for that bottle.

[morethanasidekick]

Nah. The bottle loves me even when I look like a Hobo. [Her gaze slides towards Val'drin, Kenzi clearly not expecting that voice to belong to a hot guy I guess cause there's a definite look of surprise before she can school her face back to neutral and smoothly add;]

I dressed up to remind all the vom-inducing couples why they wished they were single.

[cabot]

They do seem quick to forget the benefits. I suppose they have to convince themselves that they're happier than they really are somehow.

[morethanasidekick]

It's the sexdorphins. [It's a real thing okay. Just... not a really word.] Even the miserable couples who are no longer banging uglies on the regular are practically guaranteed an endorphin rush on V-Day. Sex makes people forget how much their lives suck. [Knocking back what's left of her drink.] It's science.
