LOLed and loving it.

[1stmacleod]

Connor prefers the gates, but today he PINpoints home from the Nexus, holding the bottom edge of his t-shirt up in one hand, because it's full of candy. Never, not even after a good amount of scotch, has he truly been drunk, but he looks pretty unsteady right now. He's also grinning like a loon. His voice cracks a little in a high, sing-song tone. "Suuundrop! I'm home and I brought caaandy!" He stumbles a little, chuckles to himself, and looks down. "Hey 'Gina. Want some candy?"

She'd better come quick before he LOLs the dog.

Kairos... peeks out from the studio doorway. "Connor?" she says hesitantly, because her mostly-cranky boyfriend never sounds like this. Not even after she plies him with cupcakes. "...Candy?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

Even when Connor isn't being an old curmudgeon, he tends to be quiet and sober. He's moody, and unfortunately some of that is just him, and has nothing to do with the more recent trauma.

Right now, his smile is downright goofy, and he's about to give the dog a candybar. He knows better, really. "Good candy. Sparkly glittery candy-" His head tilts a little as he studies her, still grinning, and sways just a little. "Oh! You're already glittery. Have some anyway!" He makes a little move with the hand still holding out his shirt. His coat is hanging open, he's got an entire bowl's worth of candy in the bottom part of his t-shirt, and he's flashing his abs at her.

Kairos spends a moment looking unabashedly at his abs before saving Regina from death by chocolate. "..I'm glittery?" She hadn't gotten any on her, she thought..

"Are you alright? Where'd you get the candy from..?" Pause. Grin. "Didja hit the after-Halloween candy sale?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

He's not a washboard abs kind of guy, but he keeps in shape. There's also no glitter on Kairos, it's just that Connor is currently seeing the world in a unique fashion.

"Of course I'm all right." He goes on grinning. "I got it from the boy of steel. Hehehe. Must be because of all those foil wrappers he ate..." Yes, she heard all of that correctly.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos appreciates that Connor doesn't go to the gym, and whatever muscles he has are totally natural and from doing honest-to-god work.

"Clark's been eating foil wrappers..?" Oh, ow. Her teeth hurt for him. She picks up a piece from the makeshift basket, pulls it open, and sniffs at it. It doesn't smell like it's got alcohol in it.."It sounds like you had fun."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

The only work he does currently is sword work, but he's started feeling nostalgic for the forge lately. That would definitely finish putting him back in shape, and help his appetite.

"Except the one on his head." Connor nods a little unsteadily. There's no booze in the candy, and LOLs probably don't smell like much. She might take note though, that if Connor was talking to Clark, it was probably in the Nexus. Where Clark got the candy from would be an excellent question. "And he... he said... he said-" Connor starts chuckling, so much so that he's having trouble getting the words out. "He said April hit him with a magic stick." He starts laughing all over again at that and collapses onto the couch, candy tumbling around him and into his lap.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She's figuring that out. "A magic stick, huh. And you went somewhere dirty with it, didn't you." Her lips are twitching as she pops the piece into her mouth before plopping onto the couch to help him get it up before Regina does.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"I've Heheheheh seen them together. I know who has the magic stick in that relationship." He grins madly, and unwraps another piece of candy for himself. The wrapper flutters to the floor, to become a new dog toy. He's had a lot of candy already, in fact. Good thing Connor's got an iron stomach and a fast metabolism.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos blinks for a moment before laughing her silly little butt off. "That's not nice, Connor. You should be ashamed of yourself." She swipes another piece of candy. "Clark's okay, though?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

He grins even bigger, seeing her laugh. "Why? I'm not nice. I haven't been nice for the past four centuries." He leans in and steals a kiss, then snatches the candy out of her hand with his teeth while she's distracted.

"He'ffine. Afril came along and hadandy too." He's not polite, either, or he wouldn't be talking with his mouth full.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"Connor MacLeod, you just stole my candy! And you didn't even ask!" Shocking! And after he just said he wasn't nice, too!

HMPH.

So obviously she will just have to go in.. ohmigod, were those Tootsie Rolls?! Kairos plucks up two or three pieces from out of his lap and immediately unwraps one and pops it into her mouth before he could even think about stealing it. "I looove these things."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"It wasn't as sweet as you." He grins shamelessly.

It won't take much candy to feel the effects, which are a little like being drunk, or stoned, except there's no risk of it heading into the maudlin territory that can sometimes slide into. Instead, the world is a glittery sparkly happy place! It's no wonder Connor is grinning like a loon. He's also sprawled comfortably in a way that says he's not getting up again anytime soon. Forget making dinner. They've got candy!!

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos will quickly rue eating those few pieces, then, because hey, if it's the one thing she knows about, is what happens to her when she's drunk. But while she's realizing that Something Isn't Quite Right, it doesn't stop her from eating more.

Greeaat. Fun for narration, not so fun for her. (Well, in the morning, anyway.)


"You should definitely do an in-depth analysis of which is sweeter," she says, putting the candy down long enough to kiss him properly.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

There just may be a talk later, about bringing home LOLed food from the Nexus. Of course, April encouraged him, but she was under the influence by then, too. It's such good candy though, the way it makes the world feel like a happy, silly, shiny place.

Connor can hardly remember the last time he felt this worry-free.

"Mmm... you taste like candy." He chuckles when they part lips, and then goes in for a little more research. He's had plenty of candy. Right now, she's more interesting.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She really likes this Connor, the one who doesn't have nightmares and the one who likes candy and laughs at his own dirty jokes.

Kairos preens a little bit in his arms. "All natural, baby." Sure it is, Kai. "What kind?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

Connor's tastes tend towards fairly healthy food, but there was a time he was happy to get drunk with trusted friends and laugh over dirty jokes. It's been too long, but maybe someday he'll be that way again, without the aid of LOLs.

He gives her another long exploratory kiss, and looks thoughtful. "Mmmm...chocolatey?"

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"How interesting! Tasty."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately he's looking pretty lethargic, apart from the kissing. Too much candy took him beyond mellow and he's half melted into the couch. The hangover won't be pretty, either, although he usually gets over these things quick. She may not be so lucky.

He nuzzles and kisses, but lets her have a break to eat more candy if she wants it.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kai really isn't the sort to get off her ass drunk, so there won't be lots of candy eating. But there's lots of nuzzling and kissing.

But then... "NOTHING!" she says triumphantly.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"...What??" He stares at her muzzily, completely bewildered. His brain is currently working at quarter speed, if that.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"Nothing. You wear absolutely nothing beneath a kilt!"

XD *Dies*

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

Connor blinks at her again, and nods, and then starts to laugh. "Best to have a healthy breeze..."

Re: XD *Dies*

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"Or really, really easy access." Pause. Pause. "You still have your kilts?"

Re: XD *Dies*

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Kilts are modern. When I was a boy, all you had was a length of tartan, and you knew how to wrap and pleat it properly..." He scoffs at you modern Scots and your shortcuts in fashion.

Re: XD *Dies*

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"Eat more candy. You're getting cranky again." She sticks her tongue out at him.
