FEB CATCH-ALL
WHO: Kenzi & YOU
WHERE: Maurtia Falls (mostly)
WHEN: FEB
WHAT: Kenzi doing Kenzi things post CnC2020
WARNINGS: Alcohol, language, possibly some violence.
[A] THE RED BRANCH
[ Work on the Branch hasn’t made any progress due to spending most of the last month in an alternate version of the City. Was it alternate? Kenzi couldn’t be sure, the way events played out it could have been how things would have ended up if not for Atropos. All she knew was that she wasn’t herself -- she was herself but she wasn’t, it’s confusing.
In any case, Kenzi can be found in and around the Red Branch during the day and maybe during the evening. If it’s too cold or snowing outside she’s inside continuing cleanup. If it’s a clear day she can be found outside -- somewhere on the grounds -- cleaning up any trash she finds or working on getting the old sandpit back in serviceable order after Xellos blew it up. Thanks, Xellos.
Though she may not be cleaning, instead she might be working through a routine with a pair of truncheon either indoors or out. Or working on creating some smoke bombs fill with various colors.
Mostly she’s just trying to keep busy and not let her mind wander to thoughts of the City or a certain someone she may or may not have feelings for. ]
[B] GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN (OPEN; ANY CITY THAT ISN’T JEOPARDY)
[ Kenzi can be found in the bars and clubs in any of the cities; flirting, drinking, hustling some guys at pool if there happens to be a table, and dancing. She back from vacation and not letting the fun train come to a stop. Not yet, anyway.
She might also be found in a cafe or diner, window shopping, or just chilling on a bench. She likely has Sir Apple, the cat-sized green and pink fairy dragon, with her. Having him around garners a bit of a crowd, usually children, so she can’t be too hard to miss. ]
[C] IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES…
[ The funny thing about suddenly have ten years’ worth of new experiences in her head is that she’s a much better fighter now. Sure, she no longer has telekinesis to fall back on but her physical skills have been honed. And while her body isn’t used to the movements, her mind knows what to do so it’s just a matter of training.
After a few days, she decides to see what she can do out on the streets at night. Her plan is to locate any drug dealers, knock them out, take any money they have on them, and then leave them for the cops. She’s dressed from head to toe in black, with a loose hooded jacket made from the material Oliver had given her, goggles and a facemask covering most of her face, and her hair braided and pinned back beneath her hood. She initially intended to make herself a full outfit from the material Oliver had given her but then she was ‘ported out and her powers changed making it impossible for her to create the outfit.
Maybe she’s up on a roof keeping a lookout for the activity she’s after. Or maybe she’s in the middle of kicking some butt and looks like she might need a bit of help. Either way, drop in? ]

He copies her motions, features quiet, but when he looks at her his eyes are bright purple.]
no subject
She focuses on winding the ribbon a couple of times around his wrist then bringing it down around the extended fingers before doing the same to her own hand in reverse. ]
With this ribbon wound, this bond is bound.
[ It's but a moment of quiet as the ribbon glows red and tightens around their hands. Then it goes slack and falls aways, leaving behind a red and silver specked imprint. The moment it falls away it's like a crash of waves as varying emotions collide.
On Kenzi's side, there's sadness, a little bit of guilt, but also a little bit of giddy excitement at trying something new and just a dash of attraction to Gabriel. Deeper there's loneliness and loss, a general sense of love for those in her life, and at the heart of it all is this vast emptiness, like a void. Jagged around the edges as if something was pulled free by force.
It's as if this can be seen, not visibly in front of them but in the mind. ]
no subject
Rifling through them with interest, the archangel offers a well of isolation, and annoyance. Anger too. Their voids could meet as he shakes his head, tilting to look at her.]
...This is...
[He looks to the side before taking her hand. Something about this is making himself feel more angelic then ever.]
...Are you all right?
no subject
It's a lot. When he takes her hand he might feel as if someone has taken his in return. Feedback. The connection is more than empathic -- physical as well -- something else she hadn't meant for and will have to remember in the future.
She blinks at him, giving a little nod. ]
Uh, yeah. This is just different.
no subject
It's not demonic though. [He laughs, offering a light chuckle.] If you were concerned about that.
[He was. There's a slight sliver of arrogance in him that might pass forward.]
It's a fascinating feeling. Are you all right with it?
no subject
Fascinating is one word for it. [ Nearly overwhelming is what she'd go with. ]
Okay, we was doing this to help you sort out your emotions. [ Trying to get them back on track instead of getting caught up in how it feels. Which is difficult because it could be a lot of fun.
No, no, keep your thoughts on track, Kenz.
And yet another aspect of the bond, telepathic connection. He'll hear her talking to herself and if he's paying attention he'll note her mouth not moving. ]
no subject
Keep things on track? Sorting out emotions. Okay. I can do that.
[He pauses]
How much of me are you seeing? I'm putting up some walls.
no subject
Oh fae this connection is more than I meant it to be.
The only way I could see more is if you was naked. [ She just lets that spill out because there's it doesn't matter either way. ]
no subject
He's been a human woman, he's been a monster. His hand reaches for hers.]
It's fine. Do you want to see me naked would that make you more comfortable? I don't see that as a problem but if you want...if it would be.
[he pauses]
Please relax. This is fine and I do appreciate the help.
[Human lives are so small and this...]
You know this reminds me of what the humans term Guardian Angel relationships. Are you familiar with it?
no subject
[ But at the same time yes. Oh boy, are her cheeks burning. ]
That'd do the opposite!
[ She wonders if she should just call this a fail and cut the connection. But she wanted to help him...
She's letting this overwhelm her, she knows that. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to call up some of the things Dyson and Piccolo taught her to keep calm. It helps, a little, but it also makes her feel a little sad. ]
No? I mean, I've, like, read stories but that kind of thing doesn't exist back home.
no subject
What if it were real? What if he did-
She has been kind.
Reaching for her hands, he summons angelic calm and healing. For the first time in his life.
I'm not a warrior. This may not work, but since we've done this, I need to understand human emotions and you...
You...you will be supported.
There is no void, he buries his isolation and fear and summons angelic peace.]
...I didn't think such a thing were possible. Does this help?
no subject
Still she nods. ] It's better.
[ She offers a little smile and squeezes his hands. Thank you. ]
I think I can do this now.
no subject
[Gabriel settles back, scooting closer to her.] The only other person I have been close to that was human was Mary, mother of Jesus.
[He stares down at his hands, and then at hers before he smiles.]
She was...tenacious. Firey. She wouldn't - what's the human phrase. "take any shit". I liked her. One of the few humans who did.
Aziraphale was angry with me - after everything - but I have it in me to care about humans.
They're just ...I'm selective.
[he hesitates and breathes.
So if you need this peace. This angelic peace. Just...call me. Or. You could see me naked.
But he smirks. Why did it amuse him so?]
no subject
He brings up Mary and Kenzi finds herself feeling conflicted about that whole thing. She remembers the stories from Sunday school. When she was little she thought how amazing it must have been to be the mother of such an important person but now, that she's older, it feels like something that was wrong.
She pushes that all ways and offers a thin smile. ]
She sounds like someone I would have got along with.
[ Oh there he goes with that. Kenzi stares at him, lips pressed together in a thin line. ]
Careful, mister or I might just take you up on that and you might not like where it goes from there.
[ Her hands grow warm as they begin to give off a glow, as if that's some kind of threat. ]
