There's a fire piled high--Party's learned from the Bonfire Night, it seems, because the Kobra Kid and Party Poison are currently trying to stay warm. The trans-am is parked stupidly close to the fire as well, and Party's on top of it, one leg dangling from the ledge, the other propped up on the hood with the rest of him. there's an empty can of ( Read more... )

Kobra's leaning against the side of the car, as close to the fire as possible. He's freezing, even huddled up in his leather jacket and the coat DG gave him. His chest still feels tight and he can't take a fucking deep breath without coughing. And his throat hurts. Something hot to drink would be amazing, but he didn't even want to indulge in that thought.

Grumbling he reached over to wrap his hand around Party's ankle and tug. Sometimes all this list making was annoying. Besides. "I don't have a giant crush on anyone." Kobra's voice was still nasal and it seemed to get worse with every day, but the pout was definitely there. "You have a giant crush on elektrocat," he huffs and punches the side of Party's leg before curling back up. "James, Briar and Cain are a yes."

Kobra took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes, but even the light of the fire hurt them currently. His skin felt overly sensitive, even to his clothes.

"Why are we doing this again?"

[visual] poisonousparty November 17 2011, 20:28:17 UTC

"Because." Party's face says it all: they've clearly had this conversation before. "In the event that stuff goes all costa rica, I want to know who's on team killjoy. Who we can trust." He leans down after Kobra catches his ankle and jerks out of it, choosing only to shoot a glare at his brother at the Gwen comment. Shouldn't have told him.

"Cain is a maybe. What made you change your mind?" And, because he's curious. "When did you meet James?" But he's still crossing DG's name off. She's shiny.

[visual] goodluck_kobra November 17 2011, 20:35:26 UTC

"You never know who you can trust," Kobra points out. "Because if shit goes Costa Rica, people go Costa Rica." Wisdom from the Kid, have a piece of it.

"Cain is a yes and I just met him," Kobra shrugs, not in too much of a sharing kind of mood at the moment, still grumpy and miserable. "I just know what I know." He shrugs then coughs, nearly doubling over. Fuck this shit, he hates being sick.

"'sides, if shit goes Costa Rica, you gonna get out that list of yours in the middle of chaos and check who's allowed to sport colours?" Kobra teases, trying to cover up the coughing.

[visual] poisonousparty November 18 2011, 08:03:28 UTC

"No." Party shoots him a brotherly shut up I obviously know more than you look and puts a giant question mark next to Cain. Cain's shown glimpses of niceties, sure, but who knew if that was just an undercover thing?

He licks his lips, though, feeling them swollen, chapped, and lowers his voice somewhat.

"Those hamsters. They can--they can just mess with us. Our feelings. Our thoughts."

He turns the sketchbook around, finally--it's not just a list. He's doing small sketches of the people he knows, pulling the information from tablets. Kobra's up on the top of his list, the drawing significantly better--he's doodled his fellow joys before.

"I want this in case something happens and I forget you. Or what everyone else here is like."

It's been a while since Kaylee has paid any attention to her tablet, but it's hard to ignore when one hears her name. She carefully places the filter piece she's been working on down and slides to the end of her work bench where the tablet is sitting.

Should've known, with those two.

Kaylee offers up a small smile and, hoping she doesn't startle them too badly, laughs, "If you're gonna talk about folk, you might wanna check your tablet beforehand. Hamsters're mighty sneaky."

[visual] goodluck_kobra November 18 2011, 08:40:18 UTC

Kobra startles at the voice coming from the tablet, then sighs and rolls his eyes, glaring up at Party.

"Fucking wavehead, Party. You always mess up the equipment," he huffs, then turns back to the tablet, his expression still neutral. "Sorry," he offers.

[ visual ] gotcouplings November 18 2011, 08:51:20 UTC

Kaylee just waves her hand. "Nothin' to apologize for. Tablets turn themselves on all the time, and we all talk about each other at some point or another. No harm done at all."

Now, if they had been saying something that sounded in any way bad about someone she cares about (or her ship) more words would be had, but Kaylee knows that analyzing your other captives is something that happens often.

[ visual ] poisonousparty November 18 2011, 18:16:43 UTC

"Yeah, well," Party's glancing over at Kaylee, and he's about to say something before he bolts upright and points.

"You're the radio tower lady. Thought you were off the grid, but you just got glitched or somethin' into a real fucking bitch, right?"

..."that zipper dude" has a name, you know.

[ a couple of them, actually, but you guys know from having names you don't go by anymore. ]

[voice] goodluck_kobra November 18 2011, 08:40:45 UTC

Kobra just tilts his head to the side, shrugs, coughs.

"You need a better name."

[voice] justaddmarbles November 18 2011, 13:09:04 UTC

There's nothing wrong with what I call myself. [ deliberate word choice is deliberate. ]

[voice] poisonousparty November 19 2011, 05:07:46 UTC

Huh.

[ Long moment of silence as Glitch's words land close to home. ]

....Fine. Glitch.

"No?"

The vampire didn't know the question yet, but the answer certainly intrigued her. The music made her think of dancing in Spike's arms as they added their own sounds and their own splashes of crimson to the noise and colours of the 1970s. If she peered through the flames, she saw her dear prince and her heart ached.

"I didn't want to come to your party anyway," she snapped, "We'll have our own."

[visual] poisonousparty November 19 2011, 05:08:58 UTC

Party decides to answer Dru before Kobra can even open his mouth--he licks his lips and, cautiously, begins speaking in a decidedly softer tone, reserved for Cherri Cola or an upset Grace.

"You and, uh.. Edith, right?"

[Visual] a_pretty_fire November 22 2011, 21:55:50 UTC

"Miss Edith," Drusilla agreed. It was hard to stay cross at someone who had a special tone - soft and warm, like Spike used when he was trying to calm her after a particularly nasty vision - just for her. She watched him carefully instead, her expression unreadable.

"Are you having a party?"

[Visual] poisonousparty November 23 2011, 19:48:44 UTC

"No, Drusilla." There's no annoyance in his voice, either, just someone who's trying to explain something. "I'm just trying to figure stuff out. No need to run around the zones all curious, hnn?"

He glances at Kobra, licking his lips before returning his gaze to the vampire..thing.

"No party."

"Their names," DG remained the brothers, in a hard voice that suggested she was trying to keep her temper, "Are Cain and Glitch."

Even if she hadn't taken note of the fact that her name hadn't been mentioned on the list, it wouldn't have been difficult to guess who Party was referring to when he mentioned a giant crush. She just hoped it was brotherly teasing. She wanted to be friends with them both and she wanted to help them both, but that could make things awkward if not difficult.

"What are you doing, anyway?"

Apart from trying - and failing - to keep warm and comfortable.

[visual] goodluck_kobra November 19 2011, 10:01:40 UTC

DG's tone sent Kobra right into little brother mode and he pouted, pointing at Party. "That's what he said. Not what I said," he protested. He hadn't said anything wrong! "I didn't say anything," he said again just to make his point.

"And this one," he jerked his head in Party's direction. "Is getting fucking old and forgetful, so he's making himself a picture book of people."

[visual] poisonousparty November 19 2011, 22:06:34 UTC

Party doesn't even look up at Kobra, smacking him upside the head and returning to his list, eyes never leaving the sketchbook.

"Suck my sparkplug, Kobra. You got three more years and then you're my age."

He's not sure he can be polite with DG--his opinions wavering daily--so he simply doesn't acknowledge her.

[visual] goodluck_kobra November 21 2011, 19:44:04 UTC

Kobra huffs and pulls his shoulders up, glaring at Party. "Yeah, means I still got three years of youth while you get wrinkled and lame," he mutters, reaching out again and pinching Party's leg.

Then he seemingly remembers the tablet and turns, looking only slightly sheepish. "My brother says he's sorry that he's stupid, it's not his fault. He was born this way."
