Overland Park, KS, A Morning in May [Wednesday Fandom Time]
The stupid thing about going to Kansas was that time was much slower. Kate was painfully aware that while she'd already been gone from Fandom over two days, it had barely been 18 hours for her. Still, after a night at home, she was just about starting to feel a little less raw. The general nausea had abated, at least, as had the panic.
The guilt, however irrational she knew it to be, would probably stay for a while.
Stretching out on her bed, Kate reached to get her phone from the nightstand, then turned it on. For a moment, she thought about making a call – to Bod, to Jack, to Mitchell, to Hannibal, to anyone – but she decided against it, unable to really decide what it was she wanted to say to any one of them. (Except maybe Hannibal. There was a certain amount of I get it now present.) She put the phone down on the bed next to her.
She'd be available now; that'd have to be enough.
[ooc: NFB, but open for phone calls and texts! Whoo, taking advantage of my 1,5 days at home.]

And within five minutes of gaining that knowledge, she'd ended up crying all over Leto on their first meeting. Fun times indeed.

That was a new trick, but was it really any stranger than turning into a 5-year-old, or a random shipwreck victim, or any number of other things? Another set of pieces was falling into place.
That's why you were acting so odd, he typed, though it wouldn't be news. You barely knew me.
If at all, really, Jack couldn't remember.
no subject
Well, not really her best. She'd been too fond of letting people get confused, and then slowly scared.
no subject
Though he hadn't gotten scared for himself as much as he'd gotten nauseated that this crap kept happening.
no subject
Kate thought bringing that up had about a 40% chance getting entirely ignored, and 60% to get an excuse.
no subject
stupid question was what he finally returned. Which was not terribly helpful as to the why, which had been a hard-to-explain mix of shock, Mitchell's mood, the fact Jack couldn't imagine Kate trusting another vampire that much, and a general dread that things were just going to keep getting worse. sorry.

i'm not offended, she sent back first. After a moment, she added, he wouldn't do that though.

no subject
Even other-her hadn't, as far as she could tell. At least not knowing all the facts.
that's not what i want to be. ever.
no subject
Jack was a little more open to the possibility, but he hadn't forgotten his horror at meeting Felix. It would be better than an early death, that was all, but it didn't make it a choice he'd make.
no subject
Which was better than specifically asking whether he'd told Mitchell about the weekend, yes.
no subject
Of course, he wasn't going out of his way to track either of them down.
no subject
So that was definitely a no.

if you see scully (short redhead), tell her i'm normal?
no subject
Jack didn't think he knew Scully, but no matter. It would be an interesting way to get to know someone, anyhow.
See you when you come back.
no subject
yeah, see ya.
