Okay, so Harrison's remark about don't want to hear it was pretty well justified, Jordan figured. Still, that had surprised everyone, it looked like. He continued to steer Rep down the hall towards the stairs. ... Stairs were just going to be an adventure, weren't they.
"No fights, please," he said. "Not when you're this off balance."

"I'm bitching about you, okay." Rep slurred, pointing at Harrison even as he was neatly steered along, walking more in the form of a controlled stumble than actual steps. "N..n'just when I'm telling Jrrdan whatta good guy you are you go and.. Jerry. I mean really dude?" Inside his confused head there was a lot of outrage colliding with confusion and general irritability that walking was so hard. Why the ******** was walking so hard?
"M'not fightin' M'explaining to betrayer here that he has no loyalty."

"Y'said you didn't want my pizza. Ok ok he's right. No fffighting. Y'know what we should do. We should go to Marchs's orgy. Except you Jordan, you weren't invited. It's a real sshame because," he looked truly tragic, "I know you were lookin forward to those tentach-ackles."

"I would imagine it's a situational thing," Jordan said, and tried to keep the poker face in place. He steadied Rep. "Are you going to be able to manage the stairs, man?"
"Marcus said everyone was invited," Jordan objected in response to Harrison's suggestion. "I don't know, though. I never said I liked tentacles, just that it was interesting. In an abstract and intellectual sort of way. Logistics."

Rep pouted at Jordan. "Dunno what kinna situation would make Jerry the best choice to kiss in a ********' room. Don't know what kind of like.. what ********.. like stuff, you'd need to be smoking for that to be the case man." He shot Harrison a glare before eying the stairs and frowning. They looked like they were moving from here. "An' eh.. I dunno. My legs are being ******** quitters and s**t."
He snorted at Harrison. "Marc/a**/ is a p***k."
He would have waxed more lyrical the conversation turned to tentacles he tilted his head in an almost canine gesture. " Whass logical about tentacles?"

"Jordan here's a Profffessor...assist-ant, guy, so his intersst weird octopush s**t is scholur-ly."
He addressed the question about Jerry with dignity.
"The kissin's an ongonin investigisshun," Harrison said, "that I got a week to con-clude and that I was gatherin key evidence for."
He probably made PHYS his dump stat and put it all in CHA, B0nez suggested.
Harrison smirked, "Why, who woulda you kissed?"

"Nothing's logical about tentacles, that's my point," Jordan explained. "At least in that kind of context. In an evolutionary sense and in an aquatic environment, they're a lot more practical." He grinned at Harrison. "Thanks for the backup, Officer."
"An investigation?" he asked, pausing a few feet away from the top of the stairs and attempting to brace himself for what he hoped would be a successful descent.
He glanced over to watch Rep's response to the question; the guy would probably get indignant about it, and he'd either have to balance the flailing or keep him from trying to take a swing at Harrison.

Rep gave Jordan a long slow confused look as his brain tried to deal with words. Long words. Long complicated words. He looked vaguely glazed, as if he was only partially listening.
"You are a good guy." was the best response his drunk brain could come up with for the evolutionary argument. He patted Jordan's shoulder.
And then Harrison spoke up. Rep turned and gave the other man a very blank look, as if somehow his brain was jogging along to try and catch up. "And investiga-WHAT?" He had an urge to hit the other man, but at the same time felt like he should make some sort of witty retort, the urges colliding for a while.
"Eh... not ******** /many/. Definitely not ******** Jerry. Not if the ******** world was ending man. "

"I am a Officer ok. I said earlier, he's got a kinda- a kinda, ok, you said your piece about it but I'm not- I'm not, he doesn't fool me, ok. Maybe it's th'glashes," Harrison considered.
Might give him a stat buff, B0nez said.
Glasses he could work with.
"Oh y'mean like if the ******** Apclyse horsses were ridin'. Be a shame ifff that happened week afffter next, since I promished Marcsch I'd do his sub duty tthenn," Harrison snickered.
"...Not ********' many," Harrison repeated, "Well, thatsh a start."

"I have the utmost respect for law enforcement," Jordan said solemnly. "I assure you."
He wasn't saying a damn thing about what might induce someone to kiss Jerry; partly to preserve dignity for both of them, partly because he couldn't actually define it himself. The attraction was just there.
Rep's answer surprised him, and he just stared at the redhead for a moment. "Oh, really? A non-zero percentage?" Before Rep could get defensive and angry again, though, he started forward down the stairs. "Watch your step."

Rep looked utterly confused at Jordan's comment. "Non-zero percentage." he repeated it in the hope it'd possibly clarify itself. But his brain wasn't co-operating at all. There was something pretty much more important that he should really have been paying attention to.
But before he could figure out what the hell it was, he had to navigate the stairs. Oh god this was hard. He held onto Jordan for dear life as he cautiously reached out with a foot to the next step, feeling extremely dizzy and trying to talk to keep his mind off falling down them.
"I just mean in a..meta..meta..ph..i..example if I had to or I'd like die or go without booze forever."
Another very careful step, a look of utter concentration. "Not Jerry. He's ******** annoying." and another "Not any of the as..ashholes I hate. Like Marcus...or like..Leon."
He teetered a bit. "Robert's too ********' /tall/. I'd need a ******** ladder."
And then his brain caught up with him and reminded him what he was actually saying. He stopped walking downstairs, froze, seemed to realise what he had been saying and let go of Jordan trying to back up. There was nothing to back up /to/ though and he stumbled backwards, nothing at all under his feet as he did so.

Harrison grinned at the in case of impending death list.
When Rep teetered free towards the edge of the stairs, though, his only commentary was a sharp, "Watch it-!" and a grab for Rep.
Unfortunately, Harrison's balance was already shaky. While he did succeed in grabbing him, gravity made it clear that this had not been the best course of action.

"Hey, don't freak out, we're just teasing you - " Jordan reached for Rep's arm again, missed completely as the other man wobbled, and had no time to make a second try as Harrison's momentum was added to the problem. "s**t."
I didn't think he was going to throw himself down the stairs to escape the gay, Ferros said.
That'll be funny later. If nobody gets hurt, that is. Jordan took two stairs at a time, hurrying down the stairs after them.

And then suddenly gravity was also a betrayer as Rep fell backwards, rather painfully down the stairs, managing through some miracle of drunkenness not to do himself any fatal injury, instead hitting his shoulders and arms a little more than anything else. He would also be rather glad next day that he had at least made it a fraction of the way down the stairs, there was less distance to fall.
At the bottom he let out a groan and rolled onto his side. "Aaah ******** man." he was numbed by the alcohol and couldn't really feel the injuries he'd sustained, instead wiping his lip, bleeding /again/ on his scarf and shook his head. What the hell just happened? Weren't they discussing something?
"Prolly youtwo."
And then he tried to stand up again, and fell over magnificently. "Kay. I can't. Help please."

Harrison hadn't gotten into fights with half the party, so B0nez was able to handle drunken stair-traversing without any scrapes.
Harrison was still dizzy. He let go of Rep's arm, trying to tell the floor from the ceiling. Rep groaned. Still alive. Ok. That was good. He didn't have any more bandaids any way. Right now, though, he was in kind of a pile. Not a bad pile. He registered Rep's mumble, and watched him try really hard to stand up.
Harrison didn't try, he was too immobilized by laughter.
...s**t, he was drunk.
