Room 324, Monday Afternoon
The awesome mood Kate had been in at the Perk in the morning? Completely gone, thanks to religion class. It seemed like the island was adamant on dragging her back down when she was feeling good.
She had been happy, finally thinking of Fandom as home, finally realizing she was really staying here and not just visiting. Of course the world had to go and remind her of the worst time she had had in Fandom. The fact that her face was painted blue didn’t bother her; that could’ve been just karmic payback for laughing at Bobby so much when he was pranked. No. It was the sudden paralysis, and the panic that followed it.
Being paralyzed was too close to the nightmares she had had after the incident with the sleepers and the other Fandom. Too close to the nightmares, and worse than them, because it really happened. Screaming inside her head with no control over her body, and completely awake.
She had calmed herself down in class, and she had made it to her room – because there was no way she was going to town looking like this – before she realized how messed up she was. And now she was sitting on her bed with her back against the wall, looking at her shaking hands, just like she had been for... quite a while now.
It was another way of being paralyzed and stuck inside her own mind.
[ooc: Door half-open, post completely so. I couldn’t resist being evil to her.]

She wasn't psychic; she was just good at turning up when people needed a friend.
[OOC: I could not resist, but you can shoo her away if you want ;-). Heading home and to SP in about half an hour.]

"O-oh, hi Didi," she stammered, startled as she was. "I'm fine." And a bad liar.
no subject
She wasn't commenting on the shaking hands yet.
no subject
Other things happened, of course. But she'd work up to that. Or fail to mention them completely.

She was closer to white than to pink, but that was a side issue.
"What was going on in class?"
no subject
Kate knew that wasn't going to fly, and she hesitated before telling the truth. "We kinda... got paralyzed. Before they painted our faces."

Kate closed her eyes for a second, breathed in, and then shook her head, opening her eyes again. "No, wait, screw that. It was a shitty thing to do."
no subject
She reached to put a hand on Kate's shoulder. "You're safe now."
