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.]

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?"

"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.

"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.

[vanillajello]

"Oh, you know." She shrugged again, watching Scully just a little too intently, a smirk playing about her lips. "This and that. Talking to people, having a little human interaction..."

She may have said that last bit a little creepily, somehow.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Really?"

It isn't that she's worried or afraid of Kate, but something of her manner reminded Scully that things are Dangerous Out There. And if she's going looking for sushi, armed is the way to go.

She turned to grab her holster and gun and put them on quickly, watching Kate, trying to pin down that feeling. "Have you met any of the newest kids? I've only talked to one or two."

[vanillajello]

Kate raised an eyebrow at the gun and the holster, but didn't say anything straight away, even if she was already reconsidering terrorizing this particular breather.

Bullets still hurt, even as a vampire.

"Well, they all blur together," she said, recalling something she'd heard the older vampires say about new arrivals such as herself. "I've talked to a few."

"Have you met Marshall? He's my little sibling." Scully crossed the threshold and locked her door, giving Kate an untroubled smile as she pulled her jacket to hide the gun. "He's a liiiiittle high strung. A class on zombie apocalypses doesn't help there."

[vanillajello]

"Of course not. On an island like this." A little vampire island joke, there. Kate eyed Scully's jacket, around where she knew the gun was. "Scared something's gonna happen out there?" she asked, lightly. "Like the sushi'll get violent?"

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"There's futuristic gangsters out there," Scully said, resting a hand on it, then looking uncertain. "Yakuza and all."

[vanillajello]

Kate raised an eyebrow in surprise, but covered it up quickly by schooling the rest of her expression into wry amusement.

"I doubt they'll be after your lunch."

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully considered, then, feeling slightly foolish, opened her door and took off the gun again. "You're probably right. This time of day, as long as I keep my head down..."

What could go wrong?

[vanillajello]

Apart from talking lunch with a vampire? Absolutely nothing!

Kate was smiling a bit too widely. "Exactly. And this way there's no chance of you accidentally shooting anyone. That'd be tragic."

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Right." Okay, now she felt nervous again, but having changed her mind once, she wasn't going to change it twice, so Scully firmly shut the door and locked it, and started toward the end of the hall again. "I should probably teach Marshall how to use one sometime soon. Or the other new kids who want to..."

[vanillajello]

"Won't do them much good," Kate replied idly, following along, almost with a spring in her step. "If all it takes for them to leave it at home is a few words."

Oh, was she supposed to have kepot on sounding reassuring?

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully's steps slowed as that anxious awareness ramped up again, and she turned back to say something to Kate--

[vanillajello]

Who was now a lot closer than she had been, had morphed into gameface, and was fully intending to slam Scully into a wall.

Yep.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"AHHHH!"

Scully's arms came up to try and keep Kate off her neck, eyes huge and voice very loud.

[vanillajello]

Kate grabbed at her wrists. "You know, this'll be a lot easier if you don't resist."

Damn those pesky survival instincts.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Easy? Easy?" Another ear-splitting screech, and Scully started kicking and wriggling, head coming forward to try and head-butt Kate, who was a good half-foot taller than Scully, so it was more than likely going to hit her chin.

[vanillajello]

Which it did hit. It wasn't hugely painful, but it was enough for Kate to jerk her head backwards to prevent that from happening again. Not that that helped with all kicking and stuff, but she'd just try and endure that.

"Yes, easy," she repeated. "If you stopped resisting I'd have less of an urge to rip your head off your body."

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully screeched again, fear and rage not helping her think clearly enough, then sagged. Furious. Calculating. Letting her wrists go loose. "Get it over with," she spit out through her teeth.

If she could get one hand free....
