[Oct. 13-20] full stops and exclamation marks

[girlsolo]

Kate's back to drinking tequila again. That's never a good sign. Tonight it's a sign she's bouncing between sexy check-in notes with Declan that make this island seem all right and people like Coraline screaming and crying over how much it fucking sucks.

The smart thing to do would be find Will or Magnus, talk some of this out. Even finding someone to spar with, that would work. Thing is, Kate's not that kind of smart. When it comes to helping Coraline? Sure. Yeah. She's been listening to Will do his shrink thing for years now. But when it comes to herself?

Fuck that noise. She'd still rather fuck and forget.

Kate leans her back against a post to watch the room, drinks another shot (hot wheels only, no training), and flirts at whatever makes eye contact. Whether she's Go or just Show, she hasn't decided yet. Mostly, she's trying not to look for anyone in particular. She's trying not to wish he'd come in and just...

Take her home.

[OOC: Find her at the Hub or the Winchester (let me know) any evening between now and the 20th. Available for all of your Freelander needs. If you need a specific date, email me, otherwise I'll work them out. For the record, Kate's very bi but a lot less available than she thinks she is.]

"It depends on the person," William said. "In my experience, 'normal people' is a very difficult term to pin down. I mean, I could phrase it, 'feels an apology alone isn't enough,' since it seems you do."

Kate eyes him suspiciously. "Do I get to see this before you print it?" Because asking his opinion isn't the same thing as trusting him. No way. If he says yes, she can show it to Will or Declan or Magnus and make sure she's not being a screw up again.

People always asked that.

"No," he said, without hesitation. "But I won't print anything you didn't actually say or indicate to be the case. And if you feel I have misrepresented you, well, I'm not a hard man to find, you can come and complain. Or write a letter. We don't get nearly enough letters."

"Then we're done talking." Kate sits up and scoops her beer off the counter. When she stands, there's more power in it than grace. "Try not to make me sound too interesting. I'm not. I'm just another thief who got caught."

And that was likely to be the final quote of the article, right there.

"Well, I'll just write what happened, and let the readers be the judge of how interesting you are," William said. "Thanks for your time."

What Kate really wants to say is Oh, fuck off, but she waves her hand at the end of her wrist and says, "Sayonara, inkblot. See you around."
