Night at the Museum (OTA)

[kyley_b]

WHO: Kyle Broflovski and YOU!
WHERE: The Underground of Coruscant (Level 4)
WHAT: A very wholesome field trip to the lost Galactic Museum.
WHEN: During the event. (Mid-ish?)
WARNINGS: The foulest of language. Injury extremely likely. More as needed.



Kyle's seen aliens before.

A group of them from the Jannex Galaxy, a spaceship full of greys, the Marklar, and Jeff Bezos. This is the first time he's seen quite so many different kinds in one place, but even so it doesn't take him long to feel comfortable enough to talk to a few of them at the Senate Tour that Obi-Wan had suggested he take. One of these friendly aliens had mentioned in passing that it was a pity that the Galactic Museum could no longer be toured, due to it having been lost and forgotten somewhere down on Level 4.

A lost museum seems to Kyle like exactly the sort of thing the Agrii would want them to find. And even if not, well. Kyle really likes museums.

Is it difficult to get to Level 4? Oh, yes. And extremely dangerous. This doesn't deter Kyle one bit, and so he puts out a call on the Network to let people know that hey, he's putting together a museum field trip and anybody is welcome to come! Provided, that is, that you don't mind finding your way down through huge portals/ventilation shafts into a world where sunlight is less than a memory and dangerous people and creatures lurk around every corner.

But hey, if you decide to come down, you'll find a too-tall ginger waiting for you with some flashlights and a notepad.

You bet your ass he's going to force you to use the Buddy System.

"I can say with confidence that there's no correlation between common sense and pornstaches, though. My buddy's dad is one of the stupidest people to walk the earth in spite of being really well educated."

Kyle makes a face as he steps in some sort of muck on the floor of the tunnel. "Ugh, gross. I'm buying clothes on this planet if I can."

[doubled_speed]

"Oh, that's totally true. Dr. Stark can be pretty horrible at being sensible," Tommy answers with a shrug.

Yes, he calls Tony 'Dr. Stark'. Don't at him bro.

As for the much, Tommy leaps over it lightly, grinning.

"You're going to be another person with no fashion sense, aren't you?"

[kyley_b]

"Doctor, huh?" Kyle asks, interest piqued. That's an impressive title to have.

Kyle just sighs. He's not even going to pretend like he's half as nimble as Tommy is.

"Dude, look at me," he says as he gestures to himself. "I already have none, as you can see. And so what? I'm a guy."

[doubled_speed]

Well, Tony's got a number of doctorates, so yeah, it's appropriate. Still, he paused to look Kyle over.

"So what if you're a guy? You can still choose to look good. Just work at it."

[kyley_b]

Kyle wrinkles his nose. "Okay, that was a stupid thing of me to say, but I just mean, like... does it seriously matter? We're rebuilding society on an alien planet, nobody cares what we look like. I just dress normal."

By 'normal' he clearly means 'I have no idea what fashion is.'

[doubled_speed]

Oh come on, Kyle, have some self respect. Tommy rolls his eyes.

"We're still living lives, Kyle," Tommy offers with a shrug. "I need to get more clothes too. Had some ruined by a crash recently. So torn up it was like a ruined bikini."

[kyley_b]

"I can live a life without, like... I don't know, what the hell is fashionable anyway?"

He glances over at Tommy, and smirks. "Cute."

[doubled_speed]

Tommy winks at Kyle over that.

"Is there where I tease you over how you wanna see me in a bikini?"

Because he will. And Kyle can't get away without ruining the buddy system.

[kyley_b]

"I didn't say I did!" Kyle is entirely too much fun to rile up - his voice is already naturally on the shrill side of things, and embarrassing him or pissing him off just makes it worse.

[doubled_speed]

Too much fun, too easy, his voice gets high, and his face is practically the same shade as his hair. It's all just amazing.

"I don't know, if seems like you did."

[kyley_b]

"No, YOU said you were basically IN one, at NO point did I express a desire to see it! I just said cute to tease you! Jesus!"

If any critters in the tunnels are attracted to sound, they will have no problem finding Kyle.

[doubled_speed]

The problem, Kyle? Tommy has NO shame. So the teasing over his clothes wasn't a thing.

"You're going to get yourself eaten, Jersey."

[kyley_b]

"I am NOT from Jersey! You're the Jersey one!" He stomps along, still unwilling to abandon the buddy system.

"And I am not."

[doubled_speed]

Nope, Kyle's Jersey, he'll remain that. He smiles and shakes his head as he walks with Kyle.

"Yeah, because your buddy will save your ass, like your own personal hero."

[kyley_b]

Three months in the womb there - enough to be infected. Enough that Tommy gets him riled even MORE easily.

"I don't need you to save my ass, I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself."

[doubled_speed]

Perhaps, but mostly it was that Kyle made such a big deal over Tommy being from Jersey that he was never getting away from this.

"You probably are, but I'm a hero, Jersey, IT's what I do. Sweep people off their feet and carry them off away from danger."

[kyley_b]

Kyle has to chew on that as they walk. "Okay, I guess that is literally your job. But that isn't like, what I personally expect or want from you."

[doubled_speed]

"You don't have to expect it. It will just have already happened by the time you even realize there is trouble," Tommy counters, moving in front of Kyle so he can walk backwards down the passage.

[kyley_b]

This is no doubt true, considering how fast Tommy is.

"Yes, well. Thank you, I guess. Dude, you're gonna trip."

[doubled_speed]

"Trust me, I won't. I know every inch of this path, could do it blindfolded."

Such were his powers.

[kyley_b]

Kyle wishes he WOULD trip. Not to get hurt, just to take his ego down a peg.

The universe being what it is, naturally Kyle slips on something slimey as they take a corner.

[doubled_speed]

Tommy's there in an instant, moving the second he sees the slip start. He's just there, his arms around Kyle, holding him up.

"Ouch, that's gotta fuck the ego."

[kyley_b]

Kyle flushes red and scowls. His right eye might even twitch a little.

"Dude, shut up," he manages, extricating himself.

[doubled_speed]

"You cool?" Tommy asks, actually a touch concerned. But he does let Kyle go. "Alright. We should get going again."

[kyley_b]

"Yes, I'm FINE, I just fucking... apparently can't walk. Jesus." Sometimes he really hates himself.

"Yeah. Safer to stick all in a group." He walks in silence a bit, but that's not his natural state.

"...you wanna look for anything in the museum?"
