one ⛵ why don't you rest your fragile bones?

Characters: Kenzi, Barclay & you!
Summary: Barclay and Kenzi have moved into a lighthouse home, and are throwing a housewarming. Everybody is invited— via Meow Meowd, Kenzi's daemon. Have drinks! Make merry! There are 3 unused bedrooms to abuse, and for those of you with magic, the oceanside location could definitely use some warding/fortification if D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. should ever come.
Date(s): Mid-September 2017, after the fair
Warnings/Notes: Alcohol and potentially other substance use, possibly sexual content, please warn in subject header if so!


Welcome to casa del Kenzi and Barclay, a beautiful oceanside lighthouse with a spacious attached home! Behold, there's a rooftop lounge breathing bright in the open air, a living room with sprawling windows, and two spare bedrooms, all of it in an interesting mix of blue and purple walls within the spacious interior. Check it out! The furniture and decor consist of both modern and vintage choices. Put together, it's as odd a fit as the couple who lives there now.

You might be relieved to know that the raccoon and possum running around are just their daemons. It's pretty clean overall! After all they were expecting guests.

It would appear that Kenzi and Barclay absconded with every bit of alcohol that spawned in the city of Xistentia. You have blue gin, whisky that glows, vodkas in various bottles both plastic and glass, a half-dozen tasteful cognacs, and a range of beers including something in a clay pot that smells rather interesting.

If you're here to drink and/or make new friends, this would be the place. You can also, however, offer to help your hosts with magical wards and protections, considering they're out here on the beach, not far from where newcomers tend to crash and allegedly overlooking the ocean D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. will someday come. (Alternatively, tell them they're daft for taking the risk, however small.) It's gloriously peaceful right now, though.

So maybe what you should really be doing is to go for a swim in the blue water. There's at least one pirate who will race you, and a reformed lady thief who probably won't be going through your pockets if you left your clothes ashore.

Also give them presents. They love presents.

kenzi - open to all

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-14 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ See Kenzi be domestic, it's like watching a happy, fat tiger in a cage. A huge cage that is exactly to her liking with the best looking mate a tiger can ask for. Kenzi is rolling around in domestic bliss.

Yeah, so maybe it's a bit dumb to be this close to all the action and not somewhere with a better vantage point but LOOK AT THE PLACE AND TELL KENZI NO. Also, Kenzi feels like she's doing good by helping people who stumble into their world whenever she sees them.

Whatever.

She'll be greeting everyone at the party, serving drinks, drinking drinks, she might be convinced to show off her siren powers (you know how she can placate, control, banish, kill, heal, and alleviate pain with her voice) once she brags about having it. Also she may or may not show off her ability to steal thing stealthily off a person, without them ever noticing, thanks to Dyson training her in how to be a Shadow Thief.

So if your wallet is missing, it's totally just a prank. Totally.]

Euuugh.

[ Came the ever-familiar tone of Vex, clad in simple leather trousers and a plain black shirt (very unlike him for a party), the moment he stepped into Kenzi's little lovenest. How gross, he could feel the love sinking into his pores and reminding him of everything he lost destroying his surly nature.

He brought along a few bottles of vodka and a little bag with something special (cw: underwear) for the two lovebirds, though he figured Kenzi would look better wearing it.

With a drink in hand he threw an arm around his dear friend's shoulder and almost scowled. ]


This is disgusting, you know that right?

[ And to think, just a few months ago he had the same sort of set up: domestic bliss. Ah, fuck his life. ]
moshennik: (smile ✘ vex)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hot damn he looks good right now (okay, he looks good all the time but still...). She grins her dopey sort of grin that's reserved for whatever lucky man has captured her heart. And that would be Barclay. The party wasn't a rager which was fine by Kenzi, suddenly she was an old, married type of person. ]

Oh honey, I'm never going to be able to cook. [ Sorry Barclay, she's hopeless in the kitchen despite her many jobs that involved cooking or catering. She moves to pat his cheek as she says it, leaning against him after she does.] I don't think fire is a thing that sirens can do. Besides, I'd probably burn the place down trying to light our vodka shots up.

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ She tries her best not to look smug at Vex's disdain because she'd been in his TOO PLAIN shoes once upon a time, although she's not about to lord what he'd lost over him. That's not the kind of person she is. She leans against him and just smirks some.]

Yep. Absolutely disgusting. Getting it on the reg from a super sexy, hot, charming pirate man who loves me. It's the grossest.

[ SHE EYES THE BAG.] What did you get me?

vex - ota

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Vex, for once, was not the life of the party. He dressed plainly, or at least plain in comparison to some of the outfits he was known for before he was dumped in Xist, and seemed to avoid people for the most part.

As such, you'd find him partaking generously of the provided alcohol and frequently staring out the window to the ocean. What was so important out there? Nothing anyone else could see. It was likely just that he had a thousand other things on his mind and a party wasn't one of them.

Still, he showed up to support his friend and that was good enough right? Better than the average dark fae anyway... Feel free to pester him, just don't expect to get too much out of it. ]

[ if Kenzi made the 'e_e' emote on her phone and held it up to Vex's face it might be a perfect match in that moment. Then he rolled his eyes and waved his hand at the bag. ]

Just something for bedtime.
moshennik: (smile ✘ smug as hells)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh shit, [ she looks tickled, holding her hands out to take the bag from him.] I'm guessing this isn't party appropriate to open and/or try on.
vexy: (munch)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a dildo if that's what you're worried about. Just some naughties to wear, go on and have a peek.

[ He encouraged, though he didn't have quite the amount of his usual perverse leering or anything. ]
moshennik: (listen ✘ sass ✘ what the what)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'd been expecting more of a reaction from him at her question or some kind of lewd remark or at the very least a wag of his eyebrows. Peering at him, her brow furrows before she closes the bag without looking.]

Are you okay?
vexy: (5-eyeball)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Peachy. I'm living in a shack, Mark's trapped in limbo somewhere, my ex made me think Mark was here then dumped me and won't take me back, Nico keeps trying to kill himself bringing Mark back to me. All of my friends are in various stages of domestic bliss and I'm all alone.

Really, peachy. [ He downed the rest of his vodka cocktail- which just happened to be a glass of straight vodka and let out a growling sigh. ] Please talk about anything other than me, alright love? This isn't a pity party.
moshennik: (smile ✘ vex)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, then. She should have expected that, even if she didn't deserve the rant and rave. But still, she wanted to know and well, now she does. Looking appropriately apologetic, she moves to hug him even if she knows it might make him angrier or frustrated.

The guy needs a hug.]
vexy: (hug-talk)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ He let out a withering groan but wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. ]

Ugh, enough, darling. Enough. It's not like we're meant to enjoy it here anyway.

[ Except he felt like he was the only one who wasn't. ]
moshennik: (listen ✘ lovely)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean we can't. [ She points out, resting her cheek on his shoulder.] I know you can't be completely happy without him but you haven't lost him. Not yet. I still have hope. [ She gives him a proper squeeze before leaning back to look down.]

And he definitely wouldn't want you to wear this to a party. [ SHE'S TRYING TO MAKE HIM LAUGH OR SOMETHING.]
vexy: (pity)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he's alive at least, Nico found him. But a bloody lot of good that does us, he can't get him out without shadow-traveling and doing that shite in a portal he was already caught in one before sounds like a suicide mission to me.

He means well... [ Vex sighed, managing a compliment for his friend's efforts despite the fact that they felt hopeless. ] But I'm sick of thinking about it, alright? I've been hunting every bloody day, that feels so much better than this party bollocks.

[ He traded in his party heels for a bow and arrow... the world was upside-down. ] I don't mean to be the rain in your parade, love.
moshennik: (listen ✘ sass ✘ what the what)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kenzi can't pretend that his comment about her party being bollocks didn't hurt but she tries not to focus on that. He's hurting and well--]

Wait, what? Nico found Mark? How?
vexy: (say again)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
He can dreamwalk, so he was able to reach out and touch Mark's mind or whatever that is. You can ask him about the details, I didn't get into it much.

[ He was too busy freaking out over the idea that Nico might try to rescue him and get himself killed. ]

So Mark's there, he's just... trapped.
moshennik: (listen ✘ blue eyes)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ She brightens, giving Vex's hands a squeeze.] So he's alive. [ So what you're saying is there's a chance.]

nico di angelo ▪ open

[personal profile] deathkid 2017-09-15 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ nico isn't sure why he's here. he knows kenzi a little bit, but he doesn't know her boyfriend. still, the invite had come and nico figured he might as well go. if only for free food and drinks. he's considering sneaking a bit back to his and will's apartment, so he's standing by the drinks table, perusing what's available to kill some time.

he's left a gift of a black blanket, very cozy and warm and he knows because he has the same one on his and will's bed. hopefully kenzi and her boyfriend will appreciate it. ]
vexy: (impatient)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, are you acting like that's better? At least if he were dead I'd know where to go get him and how to bargain him out. What the bloody hell am I supposed to do about portal-limbo?!

[ he didn't mean to snap, he just had a hair-trigger temper. Kenzi was probably used to it. ]
moshennik: (listen ✘ pursed lips)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She gives him a flat look when he snaps at her.] Bargain with who, exactly? And what would you be able to offer... This way, he might show up. [ Didn't he think that she missed Bo too? He was missing the love of his life but in a different way, she was too.]
vexy: (are you for real)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hades, God, whoever it bloody takes! Bo brought you out, how hard can it be?! Look, can we not talk about this?!

[ He let out another frustrated noise, absolutely at his wit's end. ]

I think about this all the time, I can't stop thinking about it. Can we just stop?!
deathkid: (Default)

[personal profile] deathkid 2017-09-15 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ at some point, after he arrives, nico figures it's best to make his way over to the hosts of the party. he spots kenzi, serving drinks, and makes his way over with his gift in hand. it's wrapped in black and white paper, tied with a black bow, because somethings about nico never change.

when he approaches, he notices something different about kenzi. her aura feels different from what he remembers from eudio. it's like vex's in a way, not mortal, and nico feels instantly curious. ]


Hey, nice place.
moshennik: (listen ✘ awwwkward)

[personal profile] moshennik 2017-09-15 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Another outburst and she takes a step back from him, holding her hands up and wishing she had a drink in one of them.]

Look, I'm sorry. I was just trying to be your friend but if you want to pretend like nothing is wrong then fine. Just be better at pretending and let's get drunk.
vexy: (diaf)

[personal profile] vexy 2017-09-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, I never was good at acting happy whilst sober. [ He growled again while wiggling his empty drink. Then waved her towards the booze table so he could mix them both up something strong. ]

If you slipped on your gift that might make me perk up.
