"you're preaching to the choir, kingsley. i know he's bad news. " they reply, dry and unamused, arms crossed over their chest. "for what it's worth, i think there's something seriously wrong with him. like, he didn't get enough hugs as a kid so now he's making it everyone's problem. or maybe he got held back in the fourth grade like that everett kid did. if only he had been born with the same sense of humor. " they gesture with their chin for him to scoot over so that they can settle themselves next to him on the booth. "that's cus we're old school, man. have filing cabinets dating back to the eighties or something. i bet you that website hasn't been updated in the past decade." kingsley moves to justify his intrusive and illegal way of investigating and kennedy can't help but smile at him. reminded that kingsley tau always one to move to the beat of his own drum. then claim the drum was planted by the us government to attract alien life forms. "oh so you were just looking out for me, is that it? how chivalrous." they pause then, a thought suddenly blooming in their mind. "hey..." they begin, voice lowering more to a whisper. "what are the chances you would be able to hack into his email for me? ricardo's."
○ NOW DELIVERING TO . . . ⏤ @brntout !
kingsley looks down at his laptop , which is open to the backend admin access for the register's official website ( he'd wanted to stretch his fingers and mind with this hack - but there isn't much to look at in there , sadly ) . then , he looks at kennedy . a flash of guilt writes its way onto his face . a silent : BUSTED . " the register is owned and operated by a man who is pro - authoritarian , pro - establishment and pro - consumerism . " he pauses , wondering if his usual FUCK THE WORLD rant will work with kennedy . he doubts it . kingsley sighs and closes his laptop . " i wasn't finding out anything that people don't already know . for a newspaper slash gossip mag , y'all don't have many skeletons in the closet . " he shrugs . " think of it not as hacking , but more like a public service and audit of your security , job and background . " he clicks his fingers together , nodding as he picks up steam . " i'm protecting you , kennedy . "
