All Over the Dorms, Saturday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

So, Kate had been pretty pissed off over having let that pale guy escape earlier. For a bunch of reasons. She was telling herself his words weren't one of them.

Luckily the building offered more than enough distraction from that. She'd been here a month or so ago, just for a few days until she'd skipped to the fun side of town. It hadn't been like this, though: this place here was alive. It smelled utterly human, like a bunch of breathers going about their puny little lives, oblivious to the danger now right outside their doors. It was intoxicating.

Later, Kate wanted to see if the rest of the town was the same but for now, she was soaking up the smell of humanity by prowling the hallways. Occasionally, she knocked on a random door just to see if there was someone amusing there.

For now, she considered the dorms her own personal playground.

[ooc: OH SO OPEN. Feel free to run into her in any hallway, or mod your door being knocked on. She's not going to bite anyone (at least not without proper OOC permission omg), but she is going to be hella creepy at everyone, because it's what you do when you're a teen vampire.]

Nathan was plenty alive thank you very fucking much and he wasn't changed at all either. Nope, he was just strolling down the corridor to his room, happily puffing on a smoke and contemplating having an even better smoke once he got into his room.

He really needed to pay better attention to things.

[vanillajello]

But why? Being oblivious led to smirking girls sidling up to him, almost as if out of nowhere. "Can I bum one of those?"

She was back to pretending to fit in with all the little humans here. For now.

Yeah, he hadn't seen that coming and jumped a little when she was suddenly there. "Jesus fuck, where the hell did you come from? You nearly gave me a heart attack."

[vanillajello]

"Aww, your poor little heart," Kate drawled, smirk widening as she tilted her head. "Did I give it a little jolt?"

She liked it when their hearts beat faster.

"I'm fine," Nathan said, giving her a look while offering her his cigarette. "Did you do something different to your hair? You look like some fucking club kid with the blue shit in there."

[vanillajello]

"I like it," she replied with a calculated little shrug as she took the cigarette. "Thought I'd change it up a bit."

Yes, by now she'd figured out she was probably on some other version of the island. It might be beneficial to pretend to be the Kate these people knew.

"Yeah? You look like a fucking Smurf pissed on you," Nathan said, reaching for those blue streaks to give them a look. "Gotta say, I liked the old way better. You look like mommy gave you a few Euros to go shopping and you spent it all in the goth shop just to be edgy."

[vanillajello]

Kate raised an eyebrow at his hand, almost fascinated. Humans reaching for her so carelessly wasn't going to stop feeling novel for a while, and she smiled.

"And this coming from a boy with ridiculous curls like those."

Topher might not have been in the most attentive state of mind today, after finding himself with a totally different face. So he didn't even notice the creepy third-floor-pride girl as he was walking through the halls.

Oops.

[vanillajello]

Well, he'd probably be happy to know this particular version had no floor pride agenda of any sort, not having lived in the dorms for more than two days total.

Or maybe he wouldn't be happy, because she was creepy. Amused that he seemed not to have noticed her, Kate started following him, matching each step to his, combat boots surprisingly quiet against the hallway floor.

But not entirely silent.

[dollpocalypse]

Topher had absolutely zero survival instinct. It would be the reason that one day, he would end up splattered with blood with absolutely nothing to do about it and no sense of self-preservation.

Ahem.

So no, he didn't walk faster.

[vanillajello]

Kate followed him semi-silently for a moment or two. Then she decided just doing that was boring.

"Hey, dude," she called out, sounding lazy. "Where are you off to?"

[dollpocalypse]

Oh!

Topher jumped, and turned around. Damn. It was the creepy girl again. (Sorry, Kate.)

"Burger," he said. "Thought I'd get one."

No, he didn't ask where she was going.

[vanillajello]

"How unhealthy," Kate drawled, sauntering closer now that she had his attention, an easy little smirk on her face. "People should watch what they eat."

Like she did.

[dollpocalypse]

"Nah, I like burgers," Topher countered, still not picking up on a single thing wrong with this. "Especially with ketchup. You seriously don't like ketchup?"

[[just a nod to your note up there, biting is totes okay by me! if you want. whatever. :)]]

[vanillajello]

"Well, it's red," she replied absently with a little shrug. Her attention was on watching him, head slightly tilted. "Other than that, it's lost its appeal."

[Good to know, thanks! *CHOMP*]

Freddie had found a flashlight, and was using it even if it was still light out.

"Shaggy? Scoob? Velma?" he kept saying, completely worried that he'd lost the rest of the gang. Who would tell him how awesome his hair looked? Who would look up to him as a paragon of manliness? Who would do all the dorky clue-thinky-stuff that he couldn't?

He needed the gang. It was Mystery Inc, not Freddie Jones Inc, after all...

"Hey, have you seen my friends?" he greeted Kate, when he encountered her in the halls.

[vanillajello]

Kate gave him the most innocent-looking smile she could muster. It was... convincing enough, even if he smelled wonderful and she kind of half wanted to go on a slaughtering rampage through the building.

Ahem. "I wouldn't know," she said. "What do they look like? Are you lost?"

Scully's door was open, and she was typing away on her laptop, working on her Russian homework before going out to see if the rain had stopped. Maybe to head over the Causeway to get some Japanese food later. Blissfully unaware this was one of those weekends.

[vanillajello]

And far be it from Kate to resist an open door. She poked her head in, leaning against the frame.

Oh, look! Was that someone doing homework? How cute. "Hey. Whatcha typing there?"

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Hi Kate." Scully glanced up, her fingers still moving. "Translation of a news article into Russian. Not that I expect they care about the Belmont Stakes. Just wandering around?"

[vanillajello]

"Just wandering around," Kate agreed pleasantly. "I mean, what else is there to do on a day like this?"

With all the little breathers running around and no other vampires to be found.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking of heading to the mainland for sushi in a bit, if you want to go along." Scully glanced out the window. "Although it might still be raining there. I'm getting sick of that."

[vanillajello]

Kate gave a light shrug. "I'm not much for seafood these days." Because, you know, it couldn't possibly beat blood anymore. "And I quite like the rain."

Scully saved her document and reached for her jacket, getting ready to leave the dorm. "What have you been up to?" she asked, shrugging it on and heading toward Kate and the door.
