[Dated to February 15, 2015]
Schörl had let Alex out of the Rift, or Negaspace, or wherever the hell she'd been keeping him, sure, which was an improvement over his situation from the previous two weeks.
It was still not particularly ideal, because he was nowhere near the house he shared with Luka and given that he was still dizzy and tired and hungry and a hundred other things he was pretty damn sure he wasn't going to get there any time soon. So he wobbled, and then collapsed, leaning against the wall of the nearest building and pressing his hand against his forehead.
He was sober, and not hung over, and not withdrawn (or at least less so than he'd been) - but his life still sucked.

Pointless nights like this usually gave Lellouch a headache. Though then again, in most cases, it was usually Lellouch giving out the headaches, so maybe turn about was fair play. She sighed as she walked along the edge of the building's shoddy looking roof. This night was crap. The blonde was just about to turn and leave when a signature rose on her senses. Ugh... Well at least it was something. They couldn't b***h at her for doing nothing if she had energy orbs right?
She followed it leisurely, not really caring either way if she actually drained this person or not. The aura felt familiar, the closer and closer she got. Till finally, she was staring down at a familiar mop of two toned blonde hair. "Where have I seen this before? Hm, let me think. Oh, yes, I remember... Every week! When they take out the trash." The senshi jumped from the roof, landing on the ground with a solid thunk from her boots.
"It figures I'd find a mutt in a dank alley."
Noir Songbird Well she's as nice as ever. Also spot the reference.

Alex lifted his head, and groaned when he realized it was Lellouch standing in front of him. "Gonna make fun of me?" He asked, and where it normally might have come out with biting sarcasm, instead he sounded totally resigned. "I know, I know, I'm sad and pathetic and it's hilarious."
He slid down the wall and flopped on the ground. Of all the people to see him like this, it had to be her - he'd never hear the end of it. How he couldn't manage to be anything other than a sloppy wreck, even sober. It was humiliating.

"Normally I probably would have. But from the looks of it, you have once again sent yourself down some idiotic path. What did you do this time? Were you doing some extreme version of Spin the Bottle? Was there booze and weed involved again?" He didn't even realize did he?
Lellouch kneeled in front of him when he sank to the ground. "Hilarious, surprisingly, isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Nor is it what I'd use here. It's like you said. Sad and pathetic. Humiliating doesn't even come close. I'd say disgusting but I use that for another one of the sorry idiots that employs us. You on the other hand. I've seen your s**t for years. I've seen your future, you know I have. And I've seen your past. This is getting really tiring. Even for ******** you."
"I know I'm not the best shining example of anything. But at least I know enough to not sink into whatever hole you decided to crawl in or out of. So get it the ******** together dog. It pains me to ******** say this, but you're beginning to make a pair of pathetic a** Generals look good. And their both dumb asses in their own ******** right.
"I've done some pretty stupid s**t Alex. I've stepped in a ******** bear trap after being told to watch my step. That there was more then one bear trap set up. But I didn't listen. I was too busy staring at the head that my boot was smashing into the other bear trap. But you know what? I think I can safely say that I don't think I've ever done something as stupid as you obviously have. And let's remember, shall we, that I've also been dropped from a building a number of times. Once, by my own hand."
Suddenly the blonde stood, dragging Alex up by his collar with her. "So you better get your ******** act in gear and figure out what you're going to do next Alexander. And you better ******** figure it out quickly. If your answer is to vomit on me, you might wanna swallow it back down otherwise the hole I put you in will be one you don't crawl out of."Noir Songbird *Squints* Is she being mature or just an a**? I can't tell

"I didn't do this to myself," Alex protested, and it was surprisingly firm. "I didn't ******** lock myself in the ******** Rift for two weeks."
And how did Lellouch know so much about him? How did she know about a very ill-advised game of Spin the Bottle that no one sohuld have bene aware of except people who knew him as Alex?
...How the hell did she know who he was? He'd forgotten he wasn't powered up, he'd been mired in the pool of the Negaverse for so long that he'd forgotten he'd been Alex the entire time, not Kerberos, because everyone had called him by that name and it hadn't mattered when he was sick and hallucinating and in pain. And she was talking and talking like she knew, like he didn't already know he was embarrassing himself, and part of him wanted to cry but the other part wanted to yell and scream and tell her to ******** off.
He wasn't entirely sure which won. It might have been both.
"You don't even know what happened, ******** you, you sanctimonious -" she yanked him up, and that was it, because it threw off what little equilibrium he had.
He blacked out.

"Really? Because I seem to remember a time when you, somehow, managed to lock yourself in a closet once. Which is pretty impressive considering the lock on that door was broken." Why a closet had a lock was beyond her.
Lellouch snorted idly as she watched the teen's eyes roll back and his head c**k to the side as he lost what little head had going for him. The poor sap completely passed out. Great. She sighed. At least he hadn't emptied the contents of his stomach on her. That was a plus, she guessed.
Sanctimonious? Cute. Big word for such a small whelp. The blonde had half a mind to just complete drop him, leave him in the dank alley she found him in. However, she began to wonder about the probability of being royally chewed out for leaving 'one of her own' in such a vulnerable condition. Ugh. She didn't need this bullshit. With an irritated snarl she hefted the boys arm around her shoulders.
"If you vomit on me while your passed out I will make good on that threat Masters."

A couple hours, and one fantastic, sudden down poor out of nowhere later, Jaysen was sprawled over a love seat in the living room of her house. Alex's body had been deposited on the couch with little to no grace what so ever. Perched upon said body, or more specifically his upper chest and collar bones, was a cat. It stared intently and the unconscious form. The tip of it's tail twitched back and forth in mild irritation. Fuzzy black ears, which had practically been plastered flat to the back of the cats skull finally sprung forward and alert as Alex made a small noise. "Your living corpse is awake."

When Alex woke up, it felt like a very familiar situation. He was on a stranger's couch, somewhere he didn't recognize - that wasn't exactly a brand new experience for him.
What was new was the cat face shoved in his, and he would later be ashamed to admit that he yelped and jumped. "What the ********," he said, and it came out as a very exhausted and startled statement rather than anything even approaching a question. "Where am I?"
He wasn't going to discount the possibility that the cat could answer. He had met talking cats, and he was pretty sure he had heard this one speak. Which meant that he was in a Negaverser's home. He found himself looking around, for any other person in the room - and his eyes fell on the blonde in the loveseat.
"Jaysen?" No way. No way was Lance Grayson's little sister, his favorite little s**t, an officer. No way.[Mistress Morbid] alex is having a very confusing day

Said cat hissed. Ears falling backwards and a clawed paw raising as Alex moved and twitched. A low growl crept up the back of her throat as she stepped off his chest with an angry twitch of her tail. "Not conscious for two minutes yet and you're already pissing off a cat with your presence. I don't know if I'm impressed or disgusted honestly." Jaysen glanced up from the book propped against her leg. "If you so much as think of getting up and tackling me I will throw that sack of useless fur right through the hole in your chest."
Jaysen eyed the cat in distain for a moment before looking back at Alex. "You're a bit slow you know that?" Seriously kid. Even with the glamour magic, did nothing click with you?"

"Yeah yeah insert cats and dogs joke here," Alex said, and he shifted so he was sitting on the couch instead of laying on it. "Don't worry, I still feel like s**t, I won't be moving," he said, and sighed, sinking into the couch.
"No, I really had no idea," he admitted. "Howe did you know who I was?" He asked.
At least she wasn't asking what had happened. He was very okay with not talking about what happened.

"I wasn't thinking that, but I suppose that kind of a joke would work here as well." The blond said as she closed he book, setting it on the shelf behind her. "You may feel like s**t but that hasn't stopped you in the past, if my memory is correct. I have watched you do many things even while you're hurting."
Shifting her position, she moved to sit Indian style. "Do you really want to know, or would you some fabricated story that you or I make up? Glamour can't cover up mannerisms Alex. There are other that you know that are part of this farce too.""You told her when you stumbling around the city, drunk and rambling like the fool you are one night." Iolite growled as she hopped up on a small end table before making the long jump to the top of the bookcase were she quickly crossed the distance and curled up in what appeared to be a nest."You're a very chatty drunk." The blond deadpanned. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I hope you didn't tell anyone else your name. Especially anyone on the other side."

Alex opened his mouth to protest, to argue, but the cat's answer to how exactly he'd given Lellouch his identity stopped him cold.
He'd told her. While he was so drunk he couldn't even remember doing it. That was legitimately terrifying. Had he told anyone else? Maybe curled up in Hver's lap and powered down, or told her his name, or any other of myriad stupid things? He couldn't remember going to see her, but wasn't that the problem of being blackout drunk?
But surely if he'd let his identity slip to someone on the other side, he would already know, because it would already have ******** him over.
"I...I don't...think so," he said, but his voice was faint, and still fearful. "It's...not gonna be a problem anymore, though."

"You know, come to think about it, this isn't the first time I've found you wandering around drunk." There had been one time, a few years back, where Alex agreed to do whatever task came from the blondes mouth with no complaint, from him anyway. "How the ******** your parent's, let alone your sisters, never found you drunk is beyond me. And that's coming from the one who would scale the side of your house to get into anyone's room..."
"You're an annoyingly chatty drunk. Horribly chatty and insanely happy. It's physically nauseating how ******** happy you are drunk Alex. I'm going to ******** video tape you one day, I swear it." A loud disgruntled snort came from the top of the bookcase, but Jaysen ignored it. "The second you strip though, I'm kicking your a**."
A roll of the eyes was all Alex got as far as belief in that statement. "You've said that many times before. How is this time any different Alex."

"Idunno either." Alex said, and he sank further into the chair, an obvious effort to make himself as small as possible. It stung to be reminded of what an embarrassing moron he was drunk - though he hadn't been as much of a happy drunk, lately, except with Lellouch.
Apparently.
"Well I've never been locked in a dark hole in the Rift for two weeks with nothing but a youma for company while I hallucinated my way through detox, so that's new." He said. Her dismissal actually brought something out in him, emotionwise - sharp, angry snark, which was at least better than fearful cowering.

"Personally, I've always found your drunk escapades amusing... But that's just me." She shrugged, stretching out on her chair before chuckling. "Though that might just be because you react differently to people when your drunk they you do to me. It's kind of funny to watch honestly. I've never seen someone bounce moods like that while drunk."
When he spoke again, the blond stared at him. Even Iolite picked her head up out of her weird little bone nest to stare at the human. "You what?." She suddenly snapped. "What youma? Was it a personal or feral. Who?"

Alex swallowed. "Personal. General Schörl's," he said, and he stared down at his lap. Whatever angry energy he had found, it was gone as quickly as it came.
"She shut me down there to...to clean me up," he said, "and it was ******** hell. I'm...I don't know, Jay. I do know I sure as ******** never want to drink again." He didn't want to undo what he'd done, to fall back into that horrible hole - to bring Schörl's wrath on him all over again.
