who: Johnny and YOU
what: arrival, chaos ensues
where: all over
when: newish
warnings: canon-typical language and violence, probably, references to alcohol abuse
He arrives at the station in something like a fog, a vague memory of how he got here like thinking through a hangover after a particularly rough bender. Everything still hurts, but he's at least upright and moving, so he exits the train and keeps going. Not Reseda or Encino or anywhere he should be, but maybe that's a good thing. Change of pace.
He wanders through the town when he finds it. There's a bar, and it's his first stop. A few drinks just to take the edge off, to get the fight with Kreese out of his head and dull the aches and pains. He wanders the streets after, miserable and lost and confused about the whole damn thing. Eventually finds his apartment, where he settles in after wandering the halls like a hobo.

Then she lets out a huff of a laugh while straightening and turning away from him, looking over the line of bottles before picking up the tequila. Coming back, she sets a shot glass in front of him and one in front of herself to fill up halfway.
"At last count, there was...four, I think. Honestly, they could have more in there and I wouldn't know. There's also a bunch of animals," She nudges his shot towards him before picking up her own and giving him a salute. Then she tosses hers back, letting it burn down her throat with a bit of a facial wince.
no subject
Not that he cares too much, but it seems worth asking. He takes the shot and knocks it back without protest, only an echoing wince of his own. But knowing there's a place he can teach, that's better to know. Good to know he can keep himself busy, maybe.
"I'll have to check the place out. Four teenagers and animals too? Geez, how do you even sleep?"

It isn't like she can do anything about it even though she has been tempted once or twice to solve the problem just to give them something to do everyday. She takes his shot glass along with her own and places them in the small sink before moving back to grab her whiskey. Maybe she should switch to water after this so she isn't drunk when everyone comes in.
"I think they offer other classes too. I haven't really gone in even though it seems like everyone does god damn karate these days," She mutters a little before giving him a slightly exasperated look. "I don't, not really. But they did put me in the attic which helps at times."
Except for when the two of them decided to go scampering across the roof at all hours of the night, thinking that she can't hear them.

Like he even knows what he's talking about, like he'd cared about it for anything other than the ability to kick somebody's ass for giving him shit. And the confidence boost, but he mostly figured that came with the first part. Like anybody would have given a shit about him before he found Cobra Kai, even for as big of a shitshow as that had turned out to be.
He returns to his own bottle, working his way through methodically, but the rest of her words give him an idea, or at least a half-assed one he's buzzed enough to give voice to.
"Well, you ever need a place to crash, you can come find mine. ...it's got an extra bedroom, so there doesn't have to be any hanky panky. Just a spare bed for some shut-eye if you need it. Not like anybody's using it."
no subject
Sometimes she wonders if maybe she should take one of the classes but she really isn't good at organized anything. Or anything with other people or a teacher type. But she can see why others would like it or how it can be a boost to the ego knowing that one could take care of themselves if needed.
Then she pauses when he suddenly offers the idea of letting her crash at his place. Which amuses her as it filters through her brain and she smirks again. "You know, if you hadn't clarified about the hanky panky part, I would have definitely thought you were just trying to get me into bed. But it's a nice offer, I might have to take you up on it sometime."
no subject
"Hey, you want to include hanky panky I wouldn't say no, just wanted to make sure you knew it was a...whatsit. Platonic offer. Anything after that's up to you."
But it's good she accepted it. Everybody needs a chill place to escape to with no expectations. Makes him feel like it's some kind of weird victory, even though it's clearly not.
no subject
"I should probably get back to it," She tells him, deciding that she had let herself be distracted long enough. "Let me know if you need another, okay?"
