[3rd Short] Kyle B. & Wendy

Summary: Wendy decides to pay Kyle a visit, thinking he might be able to help her decode the strange, foreign language her documents are in. Lots of discussions are had.

Takes Place: Thursday;Sept. 20, 2012; evening. Part of Miniplot VI: Break-In.

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy knocks on Kyle's door, clutching her folder and a couple of textbooks from the learning center in her arms. She looks tired, a visible mess, but excited nonetheless*

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle opens the front door and blinks in surprise when he sees who it is* Hey, Wendy. *eyes her papers and disheveled appearance curiously* I bet you're here to fill me in, aren't you.

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy grins, and cranes her head to see inside his room* Yeah! Are you busy right now?

Kyle Broflovski:

*shakes his head, also grinning now* Nahh. I've been monitoring what I can of HQ, trying to see if they've been able to track my conversation with Christophe yet, but so far things are looking good! I'm not busy though. Come on in. *motions her inside and leads the way upstairs to where his room is located, on the right*

Wendy Testaburger:

*She follows him* Ah, right! Red was telling me about that. It's pretty impressive. *She sits down on his bed, laying out her books and papers* Okay, so I need your help. The teams wants me to see if I can translate the language here, but it's totally alien to me. I've picked up a few books from the learning center to see if they could be of any use.

Kyle Broflovski:

Yeah, I, uh, saw your...conversation with her on tumblr. *makes his way over to his bed to pick up some of the papers* Wow... This almost looks like runes, or something, jeez... *frowns in concentrative thought*

Wendy Testaburger:

*she frowns, too. Both at the strange language and the mention of Red* That's an entirely different story... I don't know why she hates me.

Kyle Broflovski:

*continues to study the papers even as he speaks* I think she mentioned growing apart from you and Bebe in her world for some reason. Did she say anything about that to you? It's kind of rude of her to immediately judge you like that, but I can also see how it would be hard for her not to. I /still/ have trouble seeing Cartman as someone I can trust sometimes.

Wendy Testaburger:

No, not really...*Wendy perks up at the mention of Cartman* Have you two been getting along recently?

Kyle Broflovski:

*raises a suggestive eyebrow and finally looks up from the papers at Wendy* I haven't really spoken to him other than on tumblr occasionally, but we get along about as well as we always have. I keep meaning to talk to him, but he's been busy and so have I with like, different things... *shrugs*

Wendy Testaburger:

*She nods slowly, turning back to her book* That's right. I heard you were working on the chips for the break in. How's that coming along?

Kyle Broflovski:

*grins broadly* I wasn't able to get any extended information from it, but I did manage to make two copies using the one we already had from the dead guard. It took me two straight days and nights, but I got them finished on time and handed them off to Christophe yesterday evening.

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy lets out a low whistle* Nice! Thanks for doing that, Ky. I could have never... that computer, technological stuff is definitely your forte. *She smiles at him genuinely*

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle smiles right back, so glad just to be casually speaking to someone face to face again. Holing himself up like he had been was terrible for his social health* Thanks, Wendy. I really appreciate that. Working on computers and networks and security encryptions and stuff was basically what I wanted to do in college. I had plans to work for the government's special forces eventually. *He finally takes a seat on the bed next to Wendy* What were your plans after high school? *He idly picks up one of the books Wendy had brought, but doesn't even really open it, much more interested in what she has to say*

Wendy Testaburger:

I could definitely see you doing something like that. *She purses her lips, pondering his question for a minute.* You know, I don't know. I've always wanted to do something that gives back, helps someone, you know? Maybe I would've been a teacher, or maybe helped kids with disabilities. It wouldn't make much money, but money's never really mattered much to me. As long as I feel as if I've lived my full potential, I'll be happy. *She said softly looking off at nothing, a smile ghosting on her lips*

Kyle Broflovski:

Yeah, I know. In my world you were much the same way. I think you wanted to be a veterinarian. *Kyle smiles at her pleasantly* You perked up when I mentioned Cartman a minute ago. How was the meeting? What groups were you talking about...? Nobody has told me anything yet.

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy's brow creases slightly* It was fine, a bit weird seeing him in person for the first time since Bieberfest. Basically, we're splitting into two groups; one to get files, and one to get on the fourth floor. *her eyes lower as she lets out a long sigh* He really does love you, you know.

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle keeps his expression very carefully neutral* You think so? I figured he wouldn't let himself get too attached to me since he's already got a perfect Kyle for him back in his world. *he shrugs a bit* That's interesting about the break in though. Good stuff to know. Who's in what group?

Wendy Testaburger:

Cartman, Red, and Kenny are all with me. Then it's Gregory, Christophe, Swow, Raven, and Evan I believe. *playfully punches his shoulder* Oh, come on. You know he's crazy about you. Home Kyle or not. *she smiles sadly* I think I'm going to have to break up with my Cartman back home. That is, if I ever do decide to go home or the opportunity is available.

Kyle Broflovski:

Ah. Those sound like good teams, I think. *rubs his arm, pretending that it hurt even though it didn't* No, I know he's just plain /crazy/. *chuckles softly, but cuts it off abruptly when she says her next statement* What? Why...? Surely not because of the events here...

Wendy Testaburger:

*She laughs* Well, that too. *She gives him an exasperated look* Kyle, you'd have to be blind not to see it. Plus, I did date a version of him, I know that look he gets. I guess relationships don't really matter when we're this close to getting home.

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle shakes his head* No, I think they do matter, in a way. If there's anything at all that I've learned from this entire experience, it's not to fuck with people's feelings, no matter what universe you're from. *he looks directly at Wendy, seriously* So you're gonna break up with the Cartman that clearly loves you because this Cartman doesn't...? Or is it because you don't?

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy blushes slightly, looking a little sheepish* I mean, you're right. It does sound stupid and illogical. But in all those years we were together, I never got to experience other people. I think I should try to just be open for a while. If we're supposed to be together, it will happen eventually when we're both ready. I remember you mentioning you had feelings for Stan in your world. What are you going to do about them?

Kyle Broflovski:

So you don't, then. That's a good thing, though, if you're taking the initiative. You'll both end up happier that way. *Kyle watches her with sympathetic eyes the whole time, at least until she turned the conversation back on him. Then he casts his gaze downward* Dude, I don't even fucking know. It's so....difficult...to try to move forward with anything - be it our friendship, or our feelings, or whatever. I always feel like I'm just taking two steps back, you know? *Kyle's expression falls a bit more, so that now he looks rather depressed* I have this nagging feeling that I should drop Raven out of my life completely, but every now and then I see glimpses of who he really is underneath all that stupid goth crap. I'm not sure what to make of those glimpses, but they keep pulling me backwards...back to him, I guess. Then again, those glimpses are few and far between. The other half of the time I'm gnawing on my jaw wondering why the hell I've not said "Fuck it" and started hanging out with Cartman again... *a frustrated frown appears on Kyle's brow as he finally sets the book down and starts to twiddle his thumbs in his lap*

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy looks at him, her wide eyes full of caring and understanding* I know that feeling. Hell, it's all I feel anymore; taking three steps, getting pushed back four. *She sighs, running a hand through her messy hair* It's like... there are two sides constantly at war with each other and not knowing which one is right. It's pretty normal to feel like you can't leave him. After all, he is Stan. Not only someone you have feelings for, but also a best friend. *She gently pulls his hand away from his lap and strokes the back of it with her thumb, giving him a reassuring smile* I know it seems pretty bleak right now, even depressing, but hope is never lost. Nothing is ever hopeless. There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. I can't really say I approve of going to Cartman as a second choice, but he's not mine so I can't say much. Ky, I know I've made some mistakes in the past, especially with our friendship, but believe me when I say I would never steer you wrong. Raven's only temporary. *she laughs a little* Trust me, I would know from the whole guard thing.

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle literally starts to feel a little more uplifted with every word Wendy says, because everything she says is spot on exactly how he feels. He sits there quietly, looking up only when she touches his hand* I'd thought... *he says softly once she's finished speaking* I'd thought that after a few weeks I would /want/ to move on. I told everyone who asked me about it that I was going to, you know. I felt like I deserved that right. But that's wrong, and selfish, and I'm really glad I've got someone like you to remind me that everything isn't always as it seems. God, we've ALL made mistakes, Wendy. Myself, especially. We're human, though. It's okay. *a slight smile* I do trust you. I trust you to have everyone's best interest at heart, even when it doesn't seem like you do. And I trust you to give me good advice, because the Wendy I've always known would have done the same. *Kyle flushes a bit as some of his mostly forgotten feelings for Wendy resurfaced for a moment.* Trust seems like such a fickle thing here... Out of everyone here, I'd hope you alone would honor it the most. *He shifts their hands a bit so he can hold hers in his, squeezing them lightly for emphasis*

Wendy Testaburger:

*As he squeezed her hand and spoke to her in that soft, intelligent voice only he could posses, her stomach flipped. Blood raced to her cheeks turning them pink, and for the first time in a long time she felt warm. She had no idea why she was reacting in this way to a simple touch and a few lovely words, but tried not to question it too much* I have been one to read too much into situations. *she smiles, her blush still flaring* Of course I would honor it. These months have been so dark, yet so enlightening. I'm learned much more being trapped here with all of you for a few months than in seventeen years back home. Of course I would always have your best interest at heart. You're my best friend, Kyle... *she trails off, looking down at their intertwined hands*

Kyle Broflovski:

*Kyle laughs softly* Then I should be apologizing for being a shitty friend. You guys probably think I don't care about you... *subconsciously he started biting his bottom lip, trying to make his face cool off. Was it warm in here all of a sudden? Kyle clears his throat and pulls his hands away again, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly* But I do! Care, I mean. I just...get really stuck in my own head, I think. *another soft laugh* So this language. Do you have any sort of translation to go off of yet? Anything in these books? I can try looking up some stuff online if you haven't already.

Wendy Testaburger:

Oh, uh, yeah! *Wendy quickly grabs one of the smaller books and flips to one of the pages she's bookmarked. She tries to ignore the slight feeling of irritation and maybe even sadness at the absence of his touch. God, what am I thinking. Kyle's gay. He likes Stan. She thought, tucking a stay lock of hair behind her ear* I've been looking through these books, and it seems that they keep records of different languages and translations. There's one for every language; French, Spanish, German, even English. What's interesting is that there are other alien languages I've never seen before as well! *She looks up at him, beaming in excitement* But we don't have time to look over them right now.

It makes sense, right? We speak English, and the viewers of this show don't understand, so the "producers" *she uses air quotes* must add subtitles.

Kyle Broflovski:

Mhmm. *Kyle nods, smiling enthusiastically at Wendy being just as excited. He then gets up for a second to pick up his laptop from the desk before going back to his bed. This time he actually gets all the way on it, shifting a pillow against the headboard to lean his back against, computer opened up in his lap, legs stretched out. He works in silence for a minute, typing away...then he laughs suddenly, right out of the blue*

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy sits cross-legged at the foot of the bed, totally absorbed in her languages and theories. She can't help but feel excited by the possibility of other worlds with their own languages and society. Wendy looks up in surprise when Kyle laughs randomly and giggles lightly at the randomness* What's so funny?

Kyle Broflovski:

Well, from what I can tell it's definitely not Webdings, Wingdings, or any variation of the two. *another chuckle* Which is funny because I totally thought it would be. *he types in something else, and gets serious again* What would be really great is if we could determine what language it's based off of, because for all we know it could be Russian or Korean instead of English...

*looks back up at Wendy again* Why don't we have time to look at all of them right now..?

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy cracks up at the thought of Kyle thinking it could even possibly be Webdings but then bites her lip in concentration* Maybe it's not based off any language we know. It could be pictures, or maybe an undeveloped ancient language. Either way, it's still going to be tough to translate.

I'm just so focused on cracking this. I feel like it's my obligation to the group, you know? You're the technological brains, Cartman the public speaker, Gregory the logical one, Christophe the tough one. I want to contribute more.

Kyle Broflovski:

Aww, Wendy. Ever the overachiever, huh? *grins at her* You put yourself on the line when you decided to become a guard, so you shouldn't pressure with this stuff. We'll get it eventually, with help or on our own. No worries. *he reaches across the bed to pick up the document again, cross examining it to the post on tumblr which he has pulled up on his laptop screen* Man, if this stuff is relevant to a dead language, we're screwed. *he scrunches his nose up at the many Xs, Ws, Vs, and T-like shapes* Pictures... *he murmurs* What if it's both? What if it's like...a language with its own alphabet that's also based on pictures. Something Asian maybe? Like Chinese or Korean...? *starts typing things into Google again*

Wendy Testaburger:

*Wendy smiles gratefully at Kyle, feeling a little bit better. When he mentions Chinese and Korean she perks up* Chinese…. that's brilliant! I never thought that it could stem from our languages. At first I thought it looked similar to sand skirt, but Chinese or Korean makes sense! *She feverishly flips through some pages in one of her books* It looks similar to Korean, but incorporates some Chinese characters...

Kyle Broflovski:

Some of them even kinda look like Hebrew symbols! *Kyle adds excitedly* Or maybe.... *he continues to type voraciously into his laptop, gathering information on as many different languages as he can to try and compare the documents to* We'll get this Wendy. We just have to keep working hard and not give up on it, even if we get stuck or it starts to seem impossible. *he smiles winningly at her* We'll get it.
