[mind_blown]

Yeah.

[he says as he snatches the keys out of mid air with a swift motion, and then rocks back slightly on his heels.]

I know how it is.

[he's been drunk a couple of times-- he knows what the impulse is. So, he'll leave it at that, focusing on moving over to the motorcycle, swinging a leg over, once it looks like she's grabbed everything.]

Ready to rock and roll?

[420blazeit]

Abso-fucken-lutely.

[ she climbs on behind him and circles her arms around his middle, sliding in close, and resting her head on his back. ]

So, where are we headed anyway?
Please tell me it's somewhere good.

[mind_blown]

You'll see.

But, I kind of wanted to take the scenic route. If this is gonna be a fake city, might as well take advantage of the free roads, right?

[And then

he kicks off

and frankly, he's as much of an adrenaline junkie as she is, with a few dangerous stunts thrown in here and there, on top of the pushing the speeds.]

[420blazeit]

[ she does like a good surprise, so he's not going to hear her complaining! ] I'm cool with that. I'm like, I mean... one of the things I want to do is totally get a lay of the land or, y'know, whatever. Even if it's fake, I want to know my way around. Find all the good nooks and crannies and stuff.

[ as soon as he starts hitting the high speeds he'll hear her chuckling from behind, her grip on him tightening as she peers around his right side juuuust a little bit. she knows to be careful, even when drunk, about bike stability! ]

Do you have a bike of your own?

[mind_blown]

Nah.

Just remember from back home.

I want one, but...

[he considers]

Shit keeps coming up.

[420blazeit]

Heh, shit keeps coming up should be the subtitle for this stupid production. [ another chuckle. ] ...if you ever get a bike, then we should, like, race sometime, though... I guess then I won't have the opportunity to do this anymore.

[ and then she'll squeeze him for emphasis. ]

[mind_blown]

Laying it on really thick, aren't you?

[he doesn't glance back, just puts on another burst of speed. time to make use of ramps-- it's fine.]

[420blazeit]

Aaaalways.

[ more chuckling. ]

And it's not like I can help it.

[mind_blown]

Oh?

Is this the kind of thing you want to talk about, or the kind of thing where you want me to say "that sucks. this place is bullshit."

Tends to be one or the other.

[420blazeit]

Nah. It's nothing that needs talking about. Just a plain statement of fact. [ she shrugs. ] If you want something to talk about, then we can talk about I'm still waiting on that other perfect 10. Your ass doesn't really count, you know, and while it was a good distraction, I can't see it anymore, so...

[mind_blown]

How is Griffin still a prude, with you...

[still he looks ahead]

Almost there.

[it's close to the hotel. hm.]

[420blazeit]

I dare you to ask him the next time you see him. [ she chuckles. ] ...though, he's not that bad. Grif's come a long way since I first met him, and, I gotta say, I'm real proud of him.

[ she does peer around him when she realizes they're nearing the hotel. ] Aaaand we're here because?

[mind_blown]

I dunno. Think it might be a little rude to pry into his other relationships.

[he considers]

But sure, maybe.

[if he ever talks to him again. but for now, he motions to a tall building, extremely close.]

I plan on showing you a 10/10.

But also think you should get some water-- maybe a nap in.

[420blazeit]

...mm, that's true, so how about asking if it comes up or something. Like if you think you have an in or, like, I don't know. [ she stares up at the hotel and then drops her gaze to the back of his head. ]

I'm getting the feeling this is going to be a 1/10. I'm feeling less and less impressed by the minute. Why the hell are... we... [ and then her expression drops and she releases him, immediately attempting to bail off the bike. ]

I don't need either of those!

[mind_blown]

[time to execute a smooth 180 degree stop, slamming his foot to the ground. he can definitely catch her if necessary-- could be fun on its own.]

I expected the resistance to a nap-- but water?

[time to put on the smolder]

[420blazeit]

[ and because she's not the most graceful at the moment she kind of stumbles off and she will need some catching... otherwise she'll probably just splat onto the ground. ]

I'm not thirsty. I drank plenty.
And you still need to drink your share!

[mind_blown]

[he's gonna catch her, and then let her drop once he thinks she's got herself.]

I'm gonna drink my share. But this bender's gonna end bad if you don't get something non-alcoholic in.

Either from your liver deciding it hates you, or being too drunk to nail that 10/10 stunt you want.

[420blazeit]

...end bad coming from a Bad End... LOL, is that ironic or something? I can't tell. [ she clings to him for a bit longer than necessary, but then she inevitably gets a hold of herself and stumbles back. ]

I'm pretty sure my liver already hates me. I might have to, like, buy a new one or something. But fiiiine. Water. No nap though. I'm not tired. [ she's tired. ] Where are we headed anyway? Into your dorm? Into your... room~? [ waggles her eyebrows. ]

[mind_blown]

Bad End knows about ending badly. It's kind of our thing. So, can it be ironic if it's exactly what you'd expect from us? [a beat] Anyway...

[he parks the bike and tosses her the keys.]

Meet you up on the roof.

I might have tricked you to get back here, but it'd be a shame to waste what you already put together.

[420blazeit]

I just kinda found it amusing because of the name. I'm too sloshed to dig that deep. [ she... doesn't catch them, oops, so she's got to bend down and grab them. ]

Mm. If this is another trick you better sprout some wings or something, because I'm kicking your ass straight off of it. [ she pockets she keys and grabs the stuff off the bike as she heads inside and to the elevator. she's prrrrobably kidding. maybe. ]

Yeah, it would be! I didn't call you out there for NOTHING you know!

[mind_blown]

[every observation means she definitely, definitely needs a nap.]

Please, feel free to kick my ass. I like a challenge.

[and then-- you know what?

he's gonna climb the balcony up to Bad End first, to grab some water. they need it.]

[420blazeit]

We should fight sometime. I like a challenge too.

[ she's up on the balcony by the time he gets up there. she's laying back and totally not napping. she's just gazing up at the sky, her tail swishing back and forth lazily. ]

[mind_blown]

[he sets a pretty large water down beside her.]

Drink that.

[and he's got an old blanket. naps on the roof are fine.]

[420blazeit]

...thanks. [ she sits up and takes the water, drinking it slowly, which is very different from how she's been drinking everything else. ]

Did you play in that stupid game?

[mind_blown]

Nope.

But I'm guessing you did.

[he's gonna sit down next to her.]

Offer's open if you wanna talk. But it's not gonna get you out of drinking the water.
