♬ New Orleans - Louisiana Gator Boys

WHO || Mark, Dumage, Kat, Gar, Buffy, Spike, Myri, Martha, Arthur, Finnick, Des [closed]
WHAT || All work and no play make Knights stir crazy. Various downtime shenanigans.
WHERE || The hotel / all around New Orleans / at the bar / in an alleyway / ETC
WHEN || Various dates during the course of May
HOW || w/e you want, bb

[ This log covers any non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans. Because we haven't finished out the other two logs yet, assume some time has passed since then, in case anyone was injured, so that they've had sufficient time to get better.

As for work stuff, you can assume they've been busy with establishing Finnick's fake rock star cred, and investigating some of the intel they'll uncover in those other logs that we haven't quite gotten to yet. JUST DON'T TALK ABOUT WORK and all will be well.


Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.]

[slay]

What? No! No. Don't give me that look.

[bigbad]

You were asking for it with the Twilight thing.

[slays]

Or maybe you were just asking for the Twilight thing to begin with and I'm the innocent party delivering righteous, just comeuppance.

[bigbad]

No, I'm pretty sure you're to blame here. I've stayed well away from that travesty.

[ladyhacksaway]

Well, who says I have? Maybe I just ... heard.

[bigbad]

Or maybe the film was on the same channel as all those ice skating flicks.

[ladyhacksaway]

Or maybe you're going to end this conversation with new bruises.

[bigbad]

Hey. [He holds up a hand, but he still looks far too amused for a man that's just been threatened.] What happened to us being done with all that?

[ladyhacksaway]

Cold turkey. Surprisingly difficult. [ the amusement in his look just makes hers more playfully sour. ]

[bigbad]

Probably shouldn't push you, then. [He tilts his head, but he still looks pretty insolent. He's got no plans to stop pushing her.]

[ladyhacksaway]

Or, you should push me lots and I'll just make the pushing back physical and get some anger management out of it.

[bigbad]

I think anger management's what you're supposed to do to not hit people. You know, Pilates and counting to ten and such. All sorts of things that don't end with me being black and blue.

[slay]

I think you like being black and blue. [ the remark is dry, dismissing the entirety of his retort all in one fell swoop. ]

[bigbad]

[...he doesn't hate it, and for a moment his eyes darken a little at the thought.]

I like being able to hit back.

[slay]

Fairly certain that has something to do with why you can't.

[bigbad]

[He rolls his eyes.] I said hit back, not eat.

[slay]

Hey, I'm just saying. [ she holds her hands up in a gesture of surrender, then finishes off her drink. ]

[bigbad]

[It mollifies him, though he wasn't that mad to begin with. He glances at her glass as it empties.] Want more?

[slay]

[ she holds up her hands in a refusal. ] Pass. Definitely don't want to spend the night curled up around a toilet seat, getting friendly. Possibly even interested in feeling my face tomorrow morning.

[bigbad]

[He smiles because the way she says it is downright cute.] A wise plan. Better than any I've had.

[slay]

I'm a planner. [ apparently. she drops her hands to the table and scoots her chair back, hopping out of it. she casts him a questioning glance. ] Walk me home?

[bigbad]

[Well, that's unexpected. He looks at her with some surprise. It's one thing having drinks. Asking him to walk her home...

He probably shouldn't think about it too much. But it seems like a good sign.]

Sure. I mean... I am headed there too.

[slay]

That is the idea.

[bigbad]

[He stands up, then, giving her a smile.] Then it'd be my pleasure. [Man, this has been the best night since before she knew what he was.]

[slay]

[ it's the easiest thing to do and the hardest, slipping back into this like they were fine again. she can't forget what he is, or that every part of her screams that she should be against it, that he's wrong and evil and that there's a reason she dreams of being killed by things like him. she hunches her shoulders and drifts out the door of the bar, folding her arms over her chest and glancing up at the starless sky. not starless. just couldn't see them from this far in the city. ]
