Inks & Holes, Thursday night

Sep 22, 2011 20:50

Soooo, Kenzi had caught up with Topher. And kept trying to talk him out of ice-skating. As much fun as him on ice as a drunken penguin would be.

And they were wandering through the streets of Fandom.

And look, this place was still open....

[for dollpocalypse, but hey, if someone happens to run across them, all to the good]

Topher tugged on Kenzi's sleeve. "I wanna go in here! I wanna go in here! I wanna wanna wanna wanna go in here!"

Sometime in the middle of that, he'd managed to stumble inside.

"Nuqneh," he said loudly to the room. Or meta for Klingon for "Hello."

"Are you gonna hurl?" Kenzi asked, thinking he was having a seizure moment. "Don't do that. They'll throw us out." She pulled herself up on the counter and looked around. "Ooooooo. Shiny."

A very big, laidback guy came out from the side room and raised an eyebrow. "Hey. You kids want a tatt? Or a piercing?"

Topher shook his head adamantly.

"Not gonna!" he announced. Then he darted forward to peer up at the guy's eyebrow ring. Yes, Topher. Do that. That seemed safe.

"SHINY."

"See, that's what I said!" Buzzed Kenzi was still sounding pretty copacetic. "Forgive him, he's got a social dysfunctional thing going."

Ohhh. Oh hey. Bad idea. And yet ... "Topher? Do you want an earring maybe? A shiny geek earring to show off how smart you are?"

Topher shook his head adamantly. "Dunwant. Metal! Like a magnet! I gotta gotta not be magnetic if I'm gonna go to med-- med-- medical school! Yeah!"

What!?

"Kenziiiiiiiiiiii? You know what Nuqneh means?" Topher asked, tugging on her sleeve some more.

"I do not, my brilliant med-school friend," Kenzi said very soberly. "What does it mean?" She poked at a picture of an anatomically correct heart. "Look! You could get one of those!"

"It means Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii." He giggled. "In meta for Klingon! From meta for Star Trek!" Giggleeeeee! "'s my faaaaavorite. Favorite EVER!"

"What is meta for Klingon for geeeek?" Kenzi asked, grinning. "I am glad you have a favorite. I am!"

Actually... "I should get another ear-hole. Yes. Because I can always use another place to hang earrings." She gave Topher a sly glance. "Bet you won't do any-thing, hunh? Poor Topher."

"Don't know that one." Topher would have to look it up in his phrasebook when he got home! And send Kenzi the etymology, of course. "IIIIIIIIIII can do something! I'm TOUGH!" As he had just told Quinn on the phone. "I wanna..." He looked up at Big Scary Guy and grinned enormously. "Can you make me a rocket ship?"

Then before he could answer, Topher jumped in the air. "No! Don't want a rocket ship! I waaaaaaaaaaanna this!"

He looked up, obviously suppressing a giggle, and inquired pleasantly, "May I borrow a pen, Kind Sir?"

When it was handed to him, he scribbled not sure if should meta NCC-1701 on a napkin. "That! I want! On me!"

"Wheeere do you want it?" Kenzi asked, would-be-craftily. She looked up at the big dude and grinned. "I'll pay for it, and get my ears done, good sir. Kind Sir! Please?"

Good friends talk you out of these things, but. Well.

"You are the starship that flllieees, Topher."

"I am! I am a soaring roaring starship!" Topher exclaimed. "I waaaaaaaaaaant it... um. Face! No! Not face!" No, Topher. Not face. "Ooooh!" And now he was taking off his shoes. "See? Seeeeee?" he asked, hopping on one foot and attempting to brandish the back of his left ankle in Kenzi's face. Somehow he was still managing not to fall over. "Grey! Grey bubbly gross! From bein' a monster that time! Want it THERE!"

Kenzi leaned over to peer down and said admiringly, "Naaasty. Good idea, getting it tattooed. It'll completely look like you meant to do that!" She clapped Topher on the shoulder, and beamed up at the tattoo artist. "Can you do it?"

The big guy examined Topher's ankle, measuring it out with the space between his fingers, and said, "Shouldn't be a problem. Might hurt more, I can't be sure, with the gray skin there. You okay with that, little guy?" he checked.

Topher pouted. "I'm not little," he insisted. "I'm a soaring starship."

Oh god, Topher.

"There," he insisted again. "Now, please."

...at least he'd said please?

"Get up on the chair, and I'll make a stencil of the tattoo," the guy said, patting the arm of the tattoo chair, with large footrests. He grinned. "You can fly the chair for a bit."

Kenzi beamed at Topher. "I am so proud of you, man. This. Is badass."

This. Was a bad idea. Different.

"'Kaaaaay." Topher hopped into the chair, bouncing slightly until the guy gave him a look that seemed to suggest he should stop. "Probably can't ice-skate after, though," he told Kenzi sadly. "'Cause. Ankle."

And what a shame that would be.

"We all gotta make choices," Kenzi said cheerfully. "Someday we'll ice-skate." Some day when they were sober, maybe. "Hey, you can hang onto my hand if it hurts. Just remember: badass meta-for Klingon!" And hopefully he was drunk enough not to feel it much anyway.

The guy came back with the stencil, and lifted up Topher's leg to carefully trace it on, then got out the needle-gun. "You ready?"
