[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.]

"Here on the island, yeah." Kate's noticed people don't seem too bent about what you do and who you do it with. There are a lot of openly gay couples, a lot more than at home, and if she's not exactly an activist, Kate still thinks you should fuck who you want to fuck and that's no one else's business.

"Where I come from, it's not like that, not like 'love as thou wilt'." It sounds familiar, but with as much alcohol as she has in her, she's having a hard time placing it. "It's more like your princess. A lot of us say we don't care who you're with and we don't. Pretty much right up until sex happens."

"I daresay love can be complicated regardless of where you come from," I observed, a bit wryly. Regardless of what we D'Angelines thought of love, and expressions of love, there were still emotions involved, still hearts that were meant to be handled with care or subjected to injury as the games of love and lust were played.

"I'll take your word for it. I'm not exactly an expert." Understatement of the century, unless they were sticking to family. That kind of love Kate knows how to do. It's just the mushy gooey seen-too-many romcom kind she's got no idea what to do with.

And that's kind of a problem, because she's pretty sure Declan at least thinks he loves her. Idiot.

"I don't claim to be one either," I replied with a shrug. "I'm simply learning as I go in the best way I know how, the same, I daresay, as anyone."

Kate nods and sips at her beer. She turns again and leans her elbows on the counter and shrugs down between her shoulders. "It's probably the accent. And the gorgeous. Good-looking French guys are like everyone's image of love experts in my world."
