A somewhat secluded spot outside the dorms, waaaaay late Saturday evening/too early Sunday morning

Kate had played nice for most of the day. Nice by evil vampire standards, anyway. Okay, so she'd broken a nose, terrorized some people, and just generally done what her instincts told her to, but she hadn't actually bled anyone dry!

That was about to change, though. He'd picked up a cute random drunk ~~NPC~~ on his way home from the bar, and lured him with her back towards the dorms. It seemed important, somehow, to do as much of this as she could near the dorms, as it was an area she wouldn't have dared to go near under normal circumstances.

Normal for her, anyway.

She had his lovely escort pinned against a tree, and was pleasantly surprised that his intoxication didn't keep him from starting to scream as soon as she's let her face morph.

[ooc: For one who knows who she is! And a warning for inevitable violence.]

Bo, almost home from work, didn't need vampiric hearing to pick up that scream from the street beside her house... that was neither a house nor actually hers.

It was coming from the other side of the fence that surrounded the school grounds. Because she was -- in her own estimation -- very likely the stupidest person ever, the thing to do here was clearly not call the cops, but to give herself a boost off a large rock and climb up until she could see over the wall. "You okay?"

Ugh, spectators. The guy tried to scream again, for help, for anything, but Kate clamped a firm hand over his mouth. Not that that alone would take care of the attention they'd attracted. She pulled her mouth away from his neck.

Her lips and chin were coated in blood, and she thought herself lucky the intruder wouldn't see that since her back was towards the fence. Maybe this looked like making out.

"Shut up or I'll make it worse," she hissed near the man's ear, then called out, "We're fine. Run along now."

That... sounded familiar for more than one reason, though usually Bo was pleased to be interrupted, on the rare occasion that it happened.

"Somebody didn't sound fine." One more push and Bo was balanced atop the stone, peering down at the tree. "...Kate?"

Ugh, of course this one had to call her by name, too. Kate rolled her eyes.

"What, another one that knows me?" Keeping her victim silenced and pinned to the tree, she turned to look over her shoulder. She let her face change to normal as she did that, though that did nothing for the blood stains. "Are you gonna comment on my hair too? The streaks aren't new."

"Well, I wasn't, because I couldn't see it." Way to not arouse suspicion, Kate.

Way to make sane life-choices, Bo. Like jumping down from the top of the wall and bouncing up to walk over.

Slowly. At least it was slowly?

Kate had a major problem with staying inconspicuous, yes. It came with going dizzy with power after coming from a vamp-infested island to one where she seemed to be only one of maybe a handful.

She could matter here, and she wanted people to know that.

She was eyeing Bo with a slightly raised eyebrow, ignoring the whimpers of the guy who was trying to plead for help from Bo with his eyes. "Well, there's nothing to see here. Like I said, run along."

Moments of extreme slowpidity regarding previous conversations did happen to Bo - witness needing Mitchell to bite her before she caught on to the fact that Jessica hadn't been yanking her chain about vampires - but generally speaking, she could put things together. Especially looking on a scene as familiar as this, albeit from a new POV.

"Really? 'Cause it kind of looks like this guy had other plans for the night."

"This guy?" Kate glanced idly at the terrified man in question. The nonchalance was fake, she was watching Bo closely. "Oh, he assured me he likes it when girls get rough with him."

Rough like blood down her chin. Ahem.

Which Bo was close enough to properly see now. "This is one of those weekends, isn't it."

It was neither really a question, nor really directed to Kate, but it was there in the air nonetheless.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kate said, and didn't particularly sound like she cared, either. "Leave us alone and I won't have to get rough with you too."

"If you were actually Kate, you would." Considering it was Kate who'd told her about weekends like this. "On the other hand, I bet I like it rougher than he does."

That was Bo for 'dude, run like hell when she comes after me, please.'

Mostly, the guy was just wondering whether his legs would even work, at this point.

Kate moved away from him a bit, though she didn't really let go yet. "Really." That wasn't a question. "Are you sure?"

"Why don't you try me and find out?"

Anybody else would be facepalming at the innuendo; for Bo, it was kind of a thing.

"Fine." Kate all but dropped her victim. It took him a few tries to scramble to his feet but after that he was running away as fast as he could.

And Kate barely even noticed, taking steps closer to Bo. "Let's find out."

Right, step one accomplished. Aaaaand then they had to reach step two, where Bo was fighting somebody she only wanted to knock out, while her opponent wouldn't, she suspected, have any problems sending her to that great secluded spot outside the dorms in the sky, and she had no idea what she was facing, either, besides a skinny girl who was somehow strong enough to subdue a human guy.

"Don't suppose you'd prefer arm wrestling over a drink or two? I mean it's a little late to ask, but I really don't want to end up hurting you permanently."

Kate snorted. "Someone sounds awfully sure of herself." Though, now as Kate was stalking closer, she thought she could catch a whiff of something... new. Not entirely human, not vampire either. Intriguing. "You should talk to some of the people I've already met here."

"So they're still around to talk to? At least you won't feel too guilty on Monday morning, then." Assuming she didn't kick Bo's ass then wander off on her merry way to pick up where she was interrupted.

Bo had a knife on her, but didn't pull it yet; she'd rather have her hands free. She just shifted warily, waiting for whatever came next.

At least she didn't have to wait ~~more than a few days~~ too long to find out what Kate's approach would be?

Because Kate was far too sure of herself, made so by how the majority of people on this Fandom hadn't been living in a warzone where she was the enemy. Things had been easy so far, so why wouldn't they be so now, too?

Face morphing, she lunged forward towards Bo, hands reaching out with the intention of grabbing the woman by the arms.

The face threw her juuuust enough that the grab worked, though Bo quickly tried to turn it to her advantage by using that to stabilize herself as she tried a hard kick at Kate's knees. "What the hell are you supposed to be?"

Kate had originally meant to just go straight for Bo's throat, but the kick sufficiently distracted her from that. Mainly by making her go off-balance a bit. She didn't fall, because she didn't let go, but for second or two she had to use Bo to stabilize herself in turn.

"Oh, come on," she drawled. "Sharp teeth, blood all over my face? You can't be that stupid."

Bo yanked one arm away to aim an uppercut at Kat's chin, though the force had to be abbreviated given how close they were. "Well, you don't look like Mitchell. Or Eric. A month ago vampires weren't even real, and now they have kinds? Great."

Kate managed to yank herself back enough for most of the blow to miss, though her teeth still clashed in an unpleasant way.

Oh well, it was enough to inspire her to try and yank Bo forward so she could try to take the air out of her by sharply bringing her knee up to the woman's stomach.

"Right now you just have to worry about the one."

Bo knew that move, and while unlike some, she did have to breathe, she could do it shallowly while taking advantage of that forward momentum to try knocking them both to the ground.

Breathing and banter at the same time, however, might be a little much to ask.

Yeah, falling and banter were kind of the same deal. Because the former was what Kate was doing now.

Though she was practically already trying to kick and scratch before her back had even hit the ground.

What Bo was trying to do was get even on hand clamped to the skin of Kate's face, unfamiliarly wrinkled as it was, so that she could do That Thing She Did. Just enough to drain some of that vampiric strength from her, without, hopefully, putting her down for the count permanently.

The kicking and the scratching made getting her to hold still a little difficult, though. "Believe me when I say I know how wrong it sounds, but you might actually enjoy this if you'd just freaking relax." After hearing it herself, Bo shook her head. "I take that back. It sounds wronger than I thought."

"Why does everyone here insist on babbling random nonsense at me?" Kate asked. No, whined. It was probably a little whiny. She was like that.

But hey, the scratching stopped, at least, because she tried to reach for Bo's shoulders instead, to try and push her away from herself.

"Maybe they like you. I like you when you're not trying to eat people." Said the woman who was trying to, well, eat Kate's face. Kind of. It would look like that if you were ~~Kenzi~~ filming it, anyway, even if the reality was a little more energy-based.

"No one here likes me." That wasn't even whining. It was just stated as a fact. If a slightly distracted one, and it seemed like she was starting to forget to struggle.

Something weird was going on, thought the vampire who'd replaced another universe's version of herself.

Weird and, if things were working right, pleasant; not that Bo was consciously trying to make it so, but succubus. The hard part -- the almost impossible part -- was doing anything consciously once she started to feed. For a moment, though she could hear her own mental voice telling her to stop, there was nothing but instinct there, a terrible sucking out of something that wasn't life, couldn't be, but was.

The fact that she'd been fighting helped, though, that she wasn't starving, wasn't trying to sustain herself. It gave Bo just enough clearness of head for a few seconds to push herself off and roll away, wiping at her mouth with her sleeve both as a way to break the mental circuit, and because she could taste blood on it now. "Have you tried not eating people?"

"Breathers are food," Kate replied, if a little distantly. She was thinking about moving, honestly. Her body was just kind of going '... the fuck was that?', still. Her mind wasn't doing much better. It had been pretty pleasant. "I'm sure you would taste amazing."

That was totally a compliment and not at all creepy. Except for how it was.

"Someday when you no longer live on a high school campus, I'll explain exactly why I have no response to that except ones that could get me arrested." One way or another, including her own creepy one. "What are the chances that you're not gonna bite my ass if I sling you over my shoulder now?"

"I'll probably try."

Reassuring, really. Of course, she still didn't look all that mobile.

"I'll risk it," Bo decided. "Worst case scenario, Eric gets the most literal booty call ever, and a chance to mock us both for weeks."

There was a good chance that was going to be happening anyway.

"You'll regret this," Kate informed her sweetly. Nevermind that she had no idea how to make that happen. "You will."

"No doubt. Also, oof. You're heavier than you look."

"Fuck you."

And that wasn't a suggestion so yay, progress. She tried to flail or kick or something but it was no use. God, being a babyvamp sucked when faced with power-drainage.

Oh well, she'd just have to tide herself over with screaming obscenities and threats while detained at the station.

"This island sucks."
