It felt funny to be having her last shift after already having had a goodbye party at work, but that was what Kate was doing now. It would've felt even weirder not to work her last shift, to be honest, when she wasn't actually leaving until tomorrow – a fact which she was trying her hardest not to think about.

Luckily, she had enough things to distract herself with. She reorganized the concessions stand one last time, then wandered around the lobby taking pictures of damn near everything. She'd been ~~handwavily~~ doing that a lot elsewhere around town too, after coming back from her trip to Indonesia. She couldn't help wanting tangible proof she'd actually been here, like it was possible that once in Kansas, she'd start thinking Fandom had all been a wacky dream. Like some Dorothy.

So, she took photographs. She even snapped a few pictures of Box Office Guy, who was trying his hardest to ignore her. He was also still sniffling a bit, though he was meekly claiming it was because of Kate's pick for the day's movie, though that was... not exactly a credible excuse.

NOW SHOWING
Chilling Evening

Sure, it was a vampire flick and she tended to stay away from those these days, but... Somehow, it felt appropriate for her last Fandom days, and it wasn't as if she was going to have to watch it (and she wasn't going to be able to – the main character's mom would make sure of that). Plus, Colin Farrell was hot.

MST3000 was open for business, and totally mourning the fast-approaching loss of its favorite employee.

Kate echoed his sentiment wholeheartedly. And with a mild eyebrow raise. "You'd think you'd know to avoid this place."

"Like I keep track of your schedule!" he flailed. Sullenly, he mumbled, "Can I get an ice cream sandwich? I need it because SOMEONE PUNCHED ME IN THE EYE ON SUNDAY."

"Because you called me an idiot," Kate pointed out, crossing her arms over her chest. "To my boyfriend's face."

Topher paused. She sort of had him there.

"Maybe I meant it in a nice way," he grumbled.

...No.

"No," Kate agreed with the narrative. "No, you didn't. So, he punched you."

"So just because he disagrees with me he gets to punch me? That's not fair! What kind of world are we living in, here?"

The kind where Topher got punched right and left by EVERYONE. It was a pretty nice world.

"The kind where you don't get away with being an asshole to people," Kate told him, helpfully. "Seriously, you need to start thinking about what the fuck it is that you're doing."

"Me!? What did I do?" Publicly enrage people, Topher. That was what you did. "I think punching people pretty much counts as a jerk move too, you know. Maaaaybe you and him should seek counseling. I'm just saying."

"I've never punched anyone before, and I know for a fact that Bod goes to great lengths just to avoid any kind of aggression." They'd even had a few arguments about that. "So, sorry to say but this is all on you."

"Oh." That actually got him to pause and reflect. For thirty seconds. "Huh."

"Can I get an ice cream sandwich?"

ADHD, man. It was a killer.

"Sure. But it'll be twice the normal price."

It was her last shift, and the boss was her BFF. She was pretty sure she could do that.

"What? No!" he squawked. "I'll just get one from the common room."

A pause.

"What floor do you live on?"

Kate rolled her eyes. "The same one as you, dumbass. Welcome chocolate? Remember?"

She really wasn't surprised he didn't.

"Riiiiiight." He probably should've remembered that one, but chalked it up to his wild disinterest in all things Kate-related.

Which was absurd, because he was clearly fascinated by her.

"Well, I'll go steal your food. See ya!"

That wasn't a plan Kate could see turning ot very well for him, largely because she didn't really have any food in the common room anymore. No point in buying more groceries when you only had a day left.

But as if she was going to tell him that. She just went back to her work, rolling her eyes.
