[Steve cracks a slightly bloody smile at Kate's "sugar", but then a grateful if not slightly strained face replaces it as Kate hoists him off the hook by his knees and legs.]
Well I hope not, we already did a number to our livers. [ Steve chuckles lightly at his own joke, but winces as Kate gets to work on him. ]
Drunk or not, I actually have a great feeling about this trial for some reason. That might be the drunkenness actually, but I'm still optimistic.
It's fine. From what I hear, you only need one. Kidney, I mean.
[But the stitching, while precise work, is somehow not messed up for the moment. Even if her hands are soaked in blood after a point which makes the needle and thread slippery as all hell.]
Well, Harrington, I will eagerly take your optimism over a knife in the back. [She pauses, and is unable to help her chuckle, which probably makes being stabbed by a needle a little more unpleasant than entirely necessary.] Also, it'd be real funny to say we kicked his ass inebriated.
Oh well that's good. While you're back there, do you mind checking to see if I have two? I don't think I do, but if I did I would definitely fuckin leave it behind to confuse the shit out of Ghost Face.
[ Steve winces every once in a while, but the longer Kate works on him, the more he feels good as new. Her jokes definitely ease the pain too, laughter is the best medicine after all. ]
This is the one Kate, I know it. We're gonna kick his ass inebriated. Speaking of, another shot, mademoiselle?
[ Steve sits up, feeling a million times better. And his mood just keeps getting better when he sees Kate pull out her old flask, holding it up to him. Steve takes the flask, raises it to her words, and downs a shot. He passes the flask back to her, making a face while doing so. It really did taste like shit.]
If we make it out of this one, I have a feeling I'm gonna feel like I had some pallets dropped on my head back at the fire.
I don't think I'm going to regret this! At least, not enough to not try it at least one more time.
[ Searing hot pain travels through Steve's back as Kate's hand makes contact with where he had just been patched up. But he also feels a more comforting warmth emanating from his stomach, and focuses on that. He'll be fine, this would be hilarious in hindsight. ]
No we can't, hun. [ Steve slurs out the "hun" playfully, and he cracks up because it's even more slurred than he had anticipated. ]
The generators are no match for our drunk engineering.
[ Steve looks over to the closest set of flashing lights he can make out, and points towards it. ]
I think I see one over there, should we go for it?
[Kate tries not to let herself laugh at his slurred tease. She'd definitely draw attention to them if that were the case, because even like this, she knows her drunken laugh is loud as hell.
So she slaps her hands to her mouth, shoulders shaking as she muffles it, before giving a nod.]
Lets do it, Harrington. [She pushes herself up out of her crouch, and makes her way towards the generator, grabbing a set of wires and trying to connect them.
Arguably the more dangerous task with electricity, but Kate has it on good authority that the Entity won't electrocute her to death with a generator.]
[ Steve stumbles along, keeping up with Kate. Shit why did the entity make the gears in this thing so blurry this trial? Wait. Uh oh. Steve takes a second to gain some composure before getting to work ]
Well, shit, guess there's no turning back from that last shot, huh? [ Steve mumbles half to himself, half to Kate. ]
Straight up, Ghost Face can suck it. Look at us! We're doing this shit drunk! [ By some miracle the sounds of the generator are actually picking up in speed. ]
[ After Steve sees her save the almost deadly mistake, he bursts out laughing. He has to duck into his sleeve as well to keep the volume down. ]
Shit, hun. Never went to college, but same here. [ Steve thinks this is the funniest thing he's ever said in his life for some reason. He finally recovers from his muffled laughter. ]
What if Ghost Face is watching us right now? Think he'd join us? Why's he always gotta kill us you know?
Wanna know a secret? [She says in a hushed whisper, looking over at Steve.]
When I first went up against the Pig, I thought she was one of us. She just crouched right up to me, not a peep.Thought she was workin' on the other side of the generator I was on, and I just kept on it myself.
Surprised I didn't get my head ripped in two then. Was probably more amused than anythin' else at me.
that's hilarious. Ghost Face has done that to me so many times when I was new lol
[ Steve falls over laughing at her story, its just so funny. ]
Damn, Kate. That's crazy, I'm glad you made it out! Maybe the Pig really does just wanna be one of us... [ Steve has one of those random sad drunken moments, but he's back to his chipper self in just moments. ]
One time, Ghost Face saw me hide in a locker super obviously. And he just shook his head side to side saying no. He let me walk out, run away and we tried the chase again. I think he was just toying with me.
(ooc: true story also, funniest thing ever.)
i love doing stuff like that at baby ranks its so funny to see how long it takes people to notice
I've had a few of them do that to me. Always super embarrassing when they just stand there, waitin' on you to come out of the locker.
[Because they know. And you know that they caught you.
And honestly, the embarrassment in that moment is worse than the fact that it means that she's going to either get killed or strung up on a hook for it.]
Oh man, I was baby ranks like 3 weeks ago hahaha, so mean yet so hilarious
Honestly, I'd rather just die at that point. The entity may feed off all my fear and hopelessness, but at least I go out without the friggin embarrassment.
[ It's especially embarassing because they're facing ghost face right now, and steve is worried it's going to happen again. ]
oh,,, im a rank 1 braindead survivor. touches your baby cheeks.
Well, I don't know about dyin', but I do know that I'd rather not see the killer that saw me pull that stunt for a few rounds. [Pause, and Kate gives an aggrivated huff as she touches two wires together perfectly.]
Which is usually when the Entity sees fit to throw me at 'em six times in a row.
woah now you're talking to someone whos escaped like 24 times in 37 hours played ok im trash hahaha
[ Steve realizes he hasn't exactly been helpful the past few minutes, and starts working on the gen. ]
The entity is a real bitch sometimes, but it makes you stronger, sugar. Plus look at how well you just did those wires! [ Steve drunkenly imitates the motions with his own wires, but sets off a loud explosion. ]
SHIT. Ok well I guess it's time for me to loop Ghost Face. [ He knows that was his mess up, and he'll take the fall when Ghost face inevitable shows up soon. ]
[Kate's flinch is entirely delayed after the explosion happens. She's really in no state to be doing this, and it's obvious that Steve isn't that much better. Or worse.
They're probably about even, honestly.]
You, [Kate starts in a slur, despite her best efforts] will be doing no such thing. You'll trip trying to go through a window. Or knock yourself on the head with a pallet. I, will be the one looping him. Besides, I already pulled you off of a hook.
[ Steve, also, slurring heavily with no intention to, wants to argue and take the fall ]
No...Maybe I will trip. But like you said, you pulled me off the hook. I owe you, sugarsweetiepiehoneybuns, and I won't let you talk me out of this. You be the one to run, I'm very distracting, just ask any of my old teachers.
I haven't been strung up like a Christmas ornament yet. [She jabs a thumb at herself, and then points at him.] Which means it's better if I take the heat.
[But also, they really need to be fixing a generator and not arguing.
Fine. I'll stay here with the generator. You loop the ghost. Together we win?
[ Just then Ghost face appears out of a shadow, I mean they gave him long enough to show up, right? Steve gasps and tries to get out of sight. Hopefully the smell of booze pouring off them doesn't make it impossible to stay hidden.]
Psst, Kate go run...[ He whispers loudly. C'mon steve... ]
[ Steve ducks down when the generator goes up in smoke, is this some sort of distraction for him to get away while drawing attention to Kate? Because when she tackles ghost face, he cheers for a second before catching himself. ]
OH SHIT KATE ARE YOU OK!??!
[ Steve isn't running, just standing and watching this chaos ensue. ]
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL CHERYL ABOUT THIS [ he drunkenly slur/yells. ]
[She's gonna kick his ass? Or at least attempt to. The killers are more or less blessed by the Entity to be absolute powerhouses, but Kate is wily.
And sloppy. She misses being full on stabbed, but there's a gash in her side that-
She actually doesn't feel through adrenaline and liquor. She swings her left fist wide, and it connects with his face. Or rather, her wrist does, but it's really the attempt that matters, because it's enough to slightly askew his mask.]
[ Steve sees streaks of red on the floor by Kate, and starts freaking out. She's still fighting though, and Steve can't miss any of the action. He grabs a spare piece of wood from the remnants of a broken pallet, and charges at Ghost Face with all his might.
Ghost Face, to Steve's credit, does leave Kate alone for a second to focus on the boy in blue short shorts charging at him. Who wouldn't? Steve swings his arm, trying to nail his makeshift bat right on Ghost Face's jaw, to askew his mask even more, but misses entirely and the momentum carries him to a nearby window ledge, which he clumsily then vaults.
Ghost Face is just caught in the middle of these two not sure who to pursue. ]

Another shot.
[An old flask long since looted from Glenvale at her belt is pulled up when she finishes the final stitch, and she raises it to him eagerly.]
To our continued survival and to dropping as many pallets on that idiots head as possible?
[Lord, this is going to taste like shit, but it's better than nothing.]

[Kate, as a paragon of inebriated wisdom, slaps Steve on the back. Right where his stitches are.
It's fine, the Entity tends to patch up whats missed.
With the flask returned, she puts it back on her belt after a quick swig and a face of her own.]
Well, sugar, we've got two left. Can't let the others have all the fun now can we?

It's only because of how long she's been at it that she manages to save face and not have it backfire in her face.
Which almost makes it funnier.]

based off of a true story, but i was playing pig,

no subject
Liquid courage has never let them down before, but there is a reason it's called that.
Steve whisperyells and Kate jerks her head up, misses connecting two wires and has to wave her hand to get rid of the resulting smoke in her face.
If he didn't know they were there before, he does now.
The logical part if Kate's brain says she should run when he sets his sights on her.
The louder, inebriated part of her brain says that now is a good time to push off of the generator, yell, and tackle him.
Which is clearly not what he is expecting, because there's a resulting scuffle.
She'sgoing to end upngetting stabbed, but it makes for a great sight in the mean time.]
