What even is my life anymore?

Who: Kenzi Malikov-Rumlow, Matt Miller, Poe Dameron
Where: Bucky's room, and then around town!
When: Matt's thread is on May 4th after this. Poe's thread is May 14TH
What: Kenzi "borrows" her "cousin's" room to talk to her "ex-boyfriend" about what the shit is going on. Later, Kenzi sees a very advanced roomba rolling around the street and NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE!
Warnings: Probably strong language. Some heavy topics? Mostly stupidity. Will update as needed.

May 4th - Matt

So Jefferson hadn't been at the tea shop Kenz had sent Matt to, that's fine. Probably better, actually, considering she doesn't want people to know about them. Not that any of it actually HAPPENED! Except... it might have happened? But probably didn't. Whatever. Either way, she doesn't want to go spreading the news that she was associated with this giant nerd that barely knows how to talk to girls and somehow managed to get into her pants for what proved to be an UNDERWHELMING ENCOUNTER! How the hell did that lead to a brief relationship? Who knows. The less people it gets around to, the better.

Kenzi drags Matt from main street, all the way to a house. Not her house where she lives with her husband, though. That would be STUPID! Seriously, really dumb. Especially when there are cameras everywhere. No thanks. Instead, she brings him to her cousin's house. Specifically, his bedroom. A place they can talk without being ratted out to the popo and locked up for disturbing some shit! Because that is a thing that keeps happening and Kenzi is way too cute to go to prison. Again. Shut up.

Tugging Matt by his wrist the entire way, she pulls him into Bucky's bedroom and shuts the door behind them with a huff. She doesn't want Steve or Nat to see this guy. It's bad enough she had to tell Bucky! He gave her that stupid half smile he does with his stupid face and she wanted to punch him. It's not LIKE that. God.

At least now they could talk.

"Okay, spill. What do you remember? Let's start there." Because it's probably not much and she needs to know which blanks need to be filled.


May 14th - Poe

Whaaaat the FUUUUUCK is that thing? It looks like a rice cooker sitting on top of a beach ball. Seriously, what IS that? Just rolling down the street-- is this some kid's science fair project? Kenzi has to investigate. She's gotta see this thing up close.

Of course, when it's like... almost a block away and on the other side of the street, she ends up looking like a crazy person chasing after this WEIRD CONTRAPTION, but that's fine, probably. It's cool. Someone's gotta be around here with a remote control for it, right? Maybe if she just... gets up behind it and shouts--

"HEY! WHOSE THINGY IS THIS?"

"BB-8. BB unit astromech droid, which I'm guessing means about as much to you as it does to most people here."

The Thingy makes a noise that seems to be the electronic equivalent of a raspberry.

"He's not normally rude. A little tired of being singled out, maybe." He shifts his grip on the groceries to offer her a hand. "Poe Dameron."

"Not just a robot." Robot, at least to Poe, implies a lack of autonomy that he would never assign BB-8 or any other droid. "Droid. Complex AI, personality, emotional subroutines."

He squats down next to BB-8, resting a hand on the droid's curved side. He grins up at Kenzi. At least BB-8 himself seems mollified by how impressed she is. "Could be a joke. I never actually thought about it."

Poe glances at the droid. "What'd'you think, Bee?"

BB-8 immediately asks what a Tamagotchi is, and Poe is too busy laughing to translate right away. It's not mocking laughter, by any means--he's delighted by her delight.

"He wants to know what a Tamagotchi is, and I have to say, I'm pretty curious myself."

"That sounds like something that kids where I'm from would like." He's intrigued. It's the first time anyone has described something remotely like technology that might exist on a world he's familiar with.

(Of course, he's imagining holographic creatures projected from egg-shaped devices, not... pixels on a screen. So close.)

BB-8 peeps that he's far more useful than any Tamagotchi, which Poe chooses not to translate. He's gotten a lot more cautious about sharing BB-8's abilities. "He's my flight partner."

That much he's said in proximity to cameras already.
