LAS VEGAS ♔ DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME

[morethanasidekick]

One of The Drunks - Panic! At The Disco

WHO || Kenzi, Paige, Bo, Groot, Rocket, You? Gatecrashers Others welcome.
WHAT || Vegas Baby!
WHERE || Pandora in Vegas, Nevada.
WHEN || March, 2018
HOW || Action Spam.

[ Kenzi had threatened Paige with a ladies night and of course, if anyone needed a night out it was Bo. The fact that there's also a talking Tree, a drinking Raccoon and... Drax? It's Kenzi. Why is anyone shocked by the people that she spends time with? She has ideas and they spin out of control and you just sort of hang on for the ride. It's her way. She may have casually mentioned they were coming here to a few other people, so if you happen to show up as well? The more the merrier.

The location itself isn't exactly filled with the garish glitz and glamor that a person generally associates with Vegas. Pandora has a British Pub meets modern day speakeasy feel to it. It's known for its signature cocktails with names like Panty Dropper and the Hot Little Mess and you can always count on live entertainment in the form of dancers, magicians, a band and of course, a DJ. It also happens to be one of the few clubs that has an open door policy where Shadowkind are concerned. Whether they'll be rethinking said policy after tonight? We just don't know. ]

[ hey there's a chance he rememb-- /rolls

nope ] And how did I do that, exactly?

[morethanasidekick]

[ There is literally nothing about this conversation that she wants to have right now... but for a moment, just a flicker in her eyes, a tentative parting of her lips suggests that maybe? She will tell him why.

But then the shutters come down and she's shrugging. ]

It doesn't matter. It's... so, not even a thing. [ The casual tone of her voice a little too forced as she takes another swig from that bottle. ]

[starprince]

Come onnnn. [ he unfairly bounces his hips the slightest bit beneath her once she finishes her swig ] If it's not a thing, you can say it.

[morethanasidekick]

[ Unf - God damn you, Peter Quill you just made her fail her Will Save.

That initial low groan of need quickly turns into something else, something close to frustration and embarrassment as she swats at his thigh. ]

Oh my god, I cannot talk about this while you're doing - that. [ Still managing to keep it light despite how much she hates everything about this... because there is literally no way for her to tell him why it bothered her - still bothers her, without explaining the whole reason and that's just a little too real talk for somebody like Kenzi. ]

You've seen my best friend, right?

[starprince]

[ wait for it ] ... Sex aura lady?

1/2

[morethanasidekick]

2/2

[morethanasidekick]

Uh... [ I mean. ] Sure. The... the Succubus. [ Oh we're coming back to that sex aura thing but for right now. ] But I mean. You've seen her. She's like, ridiculous.

[ There isn't a trace of bitterness there, no jealousy to speak of. Kenzi seems perfectly accepting of the fact that Bo is utterly gorgeous and it's why it generally doesn't bother her that the following is true. ]

I'm so used to the fact that when I'm around Bo? People don't even notice I'm there.

[ She takes in a breath, steeling herself for this part because oh my god why is she having to tell him this at all. ]

And then you, you idiot. You come along all, how you doin, and me, like a dumbass was all - ya know, whatever and then five minutes later you're playing tonsil hockey with the cleric.

[starprince]

That wasn't-- [ bless his heart, he rolled a decent sense motive to figure out that this is not, actually, about him, so maybe leaping to the defensive is not the right move here. ]

Look, I don't know about those other idiots out there, and don't tell her this, but your friend? [ he raises a hand and makes a 'meh' gesture and expression ] A little too generic for my tastes.

You, on the other hand...

[ he rakes a very appreciative look across her, biting his lip as he sucks in a breath on a noise of arousal ]

And I don't know if it helps but that cleric thing didn't mean anything, besides "thank God I didn't die by giant scorpion."

[morethanasidekick]

[ She remains guarded, a little stiff and there's a definite sense that she is probably one wrong word from getting out of this bed and taking the bottle with her. Kenzi's eyes narrowed as she watches the cogs clunking in his brain as they turn.

She doesn't look like she quite believes his dismissal of Bo, mostly because he has a penis and Bo's appeal is universal but his response to her is enough to see a smile trying to fight its way across her lips, even as she's dramatically rolling her eyes. ]

Oh my god, stop. [ Except, don't.

What actually helps is that Kenzi knows damn well that Astrid is a Doctor, not a cleric but Peter manages to both not say her name or correct her on that fact.

Her Sense Motive 46 probably didn't hurt either. ]

Maybe... [ Still fighting that damn smile. ] But... you're still an idiot because you so could have had this years ago.

[ The discomfort starting to ease as she allows a playful edge to slip back in. ]

[starprince]

So you always were into me. [ this is what his ego took from that. his grin is particularly shit-eating right now ]

[morethanasidekick]

[ This. Bitch.

There are some things you probably shouldn't say to the person holding the bottle of champagne. Especially when she goes and fails a Will Save and just, starts to tip it over his head.

Grin on her face or no (totally gonna be grinning if he gets wet)? Worth the waste of alcohol. ]

[starprince]

[ yeah he was too busy preening to expect that and his reflex save was terrible so he gets a bit of a bath before he manages to catch her wrist, still laughing as he tries in vain to wrestle it away ] That's it, you can't be trusted with the booze! It's being confiscated by the Alcohol Corps.

[morethanasidekick]

[ So worth it.

By the time he manages to restrain her, all traces of discomfort have vanished, laughter shaking her frame as triumph and amusement make her eyes shine. ]

Oh yeah? [ Ohhh too Slow, Peter-san - Ref 34 to try and keep it away from him and probably spill more on the both of them now as a result.... which will only make her grin harder. ]

You can try grasshopper. [ As she, leans in and legit... licks his face where there's champagne trickling down his cheek.]

[starprince]

[ yeah he is too slow for this world so instead he's going to wrap both his arms around her and try to roll on top of her, not giving a crap if the bottle gets knocked over in the process, still laughing his ass off ] Why you little minx...

[morethanasidekick]

[ Oh yeah. That bottle is so gone and he is so much bigger than her that no matter how fast she is, she is not gonna get out of this any time soon. Will that stop her from smirking up at him? Nope. ] Oh please. You love it.

[starprince]

Didn't say I didn't. [ he loosely catches her wrists against the bed, clearly enjoying the feeling of her body moving underneath his own, not to mention that smirk on her face ] What's not to like?

[morethanasidekick]

[ It's telling to Kenzi that he dwarfs her in size, has her pinned - loose or otherwise - beneath him and completely at his mercy and yet there isn't even a trace of unease. No unwelcome rising panic, which speaks to a level of instinctive trust, she's not quite ready to examine.

Instead she distracts them both by lifting her hips from the mattress, the laughter in her eyes taking on a sinful light as the playful squirming becomes a deliberate roll of her hips. ]

I am rather irresistible.

[starprince]

Yes. Yes, you are...

[ flawless - the neighbourhood

apparently, that is just too much for him and his will saves over here. it's been long enough already that he's already hard again for her, another benefit(???) of that demigodly con score, and with a growl of need, his lips capture hers in a greedy, champagne-flavored kiss as they amp right back up and have at it again. he's smart enough to reach for one of those boxes of condoms no doubt perched on the nightstand at least...

bodice ripping pick you up against the wall sex this is not (str 5), but it does not have to be when you get a dex 20. he was probably not lying about happily going down on her all day and/or any opportunity he gets, and with his charm 32 i'm sure he can undertake the arduous task of, uh... convincing her to let that be a part of the next round too. this, however, apparently has the effect of working him up so much that when they finally get to the thrust-y bits, he probably makes it about ten minutes tops before blastoff (fort 12).

either way, he has very clearly been paying a lot of attention to her reactions the last few times, because he is very quickly learning literally every little thing that she likes/how she wants to be touched and putting that knowledge to serious work (wis 18 so proud) ]

[morethanasidekick]

[ And apparently Kenzi is an awful lot like a good wine… the longer you leave it on the shelf, the better it tastes (pun intended for the oral, Peter) and what Quill might lack in strength, she makes up for in spades, controlling this show even with him being under the misconception that he tops (str 16).

After last time she’s not even going to resist and at least this time she gets to enjoy his many skills a lot longer (fort 19), Kenzi learning from earlier how much he enjoys her reactions and letting him hear every one of them without restraint in a way that’s likely to be burned into his memory for even longer than that image of her on her knees. (Wis 20 Total + Charm 54).

And I bet you were all waiting for her to fail at that final roll but with that Dex 18 these two might need to look into booking this room for another night because I don’t think either of them will be in a hurry to leave.

She does actually try to speak after that but he has successfully rendered her incapable of words and this post-orgasm glow with him pressed against her? Yeah she's good with basking in this for the foreseeable future. ]

[starprince]

[ the basking is very very mutual, and he seems to be in a comfortable state on the conscious end of falling asleep, one arm tucked back behind his head as the other stays wrapped around her for a long while. he seems very content, although eventually he's the one to break the silence, glancing over at the nightstand to where his phone got tossed, his hand leaving her back long enough to reach over and grab it. she'd see that he flicks open spotify (look at him learning) and might even notice that the playlist she made for him sits in his recently played, if she makes a good enough spot check. either way, he scrolls over to his reconstructed awesome mix and flicks down to put something mellow on.

♬ cuz ofc i gotta

he drops the phone casually back over on the stand, and his fingers slide up through her no doubt very sticky and mussed hair between the champagne and numerous sweaty shenanigans. he doesn't really seem to mind, his head bobbing a bit here and there to the music as his gaze drifts between her and the view out the window, where the stars are visible off the balcony thanks to the great room kenzi scored them ]

[morethanasidekick]

[ Apparently she does see that recent playlist (Spot 17), a quiet smile touching her lips as a result. A little surge of warmth spreading through her chest as he chooses something to play in the background. She doesn't, however read anything into his choice of song, other than the fact that it’s pretty damn perfect for this moment.

While he takes in the view she finds herself getting lost in a pretty damn good one of her own, the sight of him relaxed and at her side while the music wraps around them. She might want to deny it, because it would make her life so much easier if she could, but it’s not lost on her that he makes her feel something more than just a sexual thrill when they’re together. That this, laying with him as he plays with her hair is just as good as when he’s making her cry out his name.

Her hand winds out to trail along his jaw, Kenzi mapping every inch of his face now that she’s permitted to do so and a soft little smile plays across her lips as she tries to read every unspoken word that shines in his eyes. ]

Watcha thinkin?

[starprince]

[ his gaze stays locked on the stars outside, and there's a bit of hesitation before he says in what is very clearly his best attempt at a dismissively casual voice: ] Oh, just...

about Earth, I guess. [ which is a weird thing to say, certainly. his eyes do find their way back to her, a glint there that's almost apologetic for pulling them out of the moment in any way. he gives a half shrug accompanied by: ] Nothing important.

[morethanasidekick]

[ And she, sees straight through that dismissive casual, not just because her Sense Motives are ridiculous but because... it was exactly the sort of thing she'd have done. In fact his choice of words were so very similar to her own, that she can't help herself when she responds. ]

Well I mean... if it's not important, then you can just say it.

[ There's a softness there in those words, something more real than what she usually allows people to see and a ghost of a smile that suggests she knows exactly what she did there, and she hopes he picks up on it too.]

[starprince]

[ :| hdu throw his words back at him. it earns a little bit of a Look from him, but it's in good humor and clearly he acknowledges that he's been called out and now he has little choice but to at least try to explain.

hoo boy, emotions are hard. ] I guess it's just... sorta been sinking in lately that I might be here for the rest of my life. That I might not ever get back out there. [ he keeps his voice even about it, trying not to betray too much of how he feels about that ] Guess I just tried to convince myself for years that it was... just a temporary thing.

[morethanasidekick]

[ If she notices his struggle with the subject, it’s not something she’ll point out. Kenzi knows well enough that doing so would only make it harder to say but that light touch never ceases, the fingers that dance along his jaw move up to his temple. Comb through his hair as her gaze remains fixed on his face while he speaks. ]

What do you miss about it?
