Room 324, Monday After 4th Period

[vanillajello]

Yeah, so, Kate had had a weird, unsettling feeling since getting back on the island on Sunday. And now? Bobby and a bunch of other people had gotten themselves fucking kidnapped. And something was... growing, on the island, which she supposed might have been a little better than when things had just been disappearing into nothingness, but honestly, she didn't care. Weirdness was weirdness, and she didn't want it.

It was a direct consequence of this that Kate now had a portal to Kansas scheduled to leave in an hour, and was packing rather frantically, just shoving things into her backpack seemingly at random.

She just couldn't stay. She couldn't.

[ooc: Open door and open post, in case you want to catch the (slightly freaked out) girl before she flees from the BDE.]

"If you don't want to argue, just go," Kate repeated. "Because the only thing I feel like doing right now is screaming."

Bod rubbed his forehead again and stayed where he was, unsure why he was even still there.

"Fine," he said and glared at her. "Yell at me. If you want to do it so badly, go."

[vanillajello]

"I don't want to yell at you," Kate snapped, quite possibly defeating her own point. "God!" She zipped up her bag. "I can't do this."

[therewaslife]

Bod stepped back and pursed his lips, just completely confused right now. "I just tried to give you what you said you wanted and now you don't want it. What do you want, Kate?"

[vanillajello]

Kate spun around again. "I didn't say I want to yell at you!" Even if she still kind of was. "I meant that I'm feeling desperate, okay? And you can't help me with that, as you've already pointed out."

[therewaslife]

"That doesn't mean I don't want to help, Kate," he said, trying to keep calm despite being yelled at. "Why are you feeling desperate? You're leaving, you'll be safe."

[vanillajello]

"It's not enough," she said, sounding almost a little whiny. "It's not enough."

[therewaslife]

"Kate, calm down," he said and rubbed his eyes. "Your safety is tantamount. It's important. When you're safe, you'll feel better."

[vanillajello]

"Uh huh," she said, all sarcasm, as she sent a pointed look his way.

[therewaslife]

Bod was...very close to giving up. She was walking a fine line between concerning him and angering him with her behavior and he was very close to giving up.

"What would make it enough?" Bod asked, trying one last calm in a decidedly calm voice all things considered.

[vanillajello]

"I don't know," she said, going over to pick up her jacket from where she'd draped it over the back of a chair. "I don't care. I can't tell you what to do."

[therewaslife]

"You don't care."

Bod...couldn't really compete with that. Even his tone sounded defeated and his shoulders slouched.

"Goodbye, Kate."

With that, he turned on his heel and headed down the hall. If she didn't care, he wasn't going to give her more to not care about.

[vanillajello]

Kate was near frozen for a brief moment, but considering... everything, she couldn't just let him go away like that.

Of course, that only meant she ended up poking her head out the door and yelling down the hallway at his back. "Just so you know, if you get yourself killed there's not a graveyard in the fucking multiverse that's gonna keep you safe from how pissed off I'll be!"

And then she slammed her door shut. Might as well spend the rest of her time on-island leaning against the damn thing.
