Fandom Island and Town

October 1st, 2011. Kate's 18th birthday. On Fandom, anyway.

That was the big reason she was here, bright and early. She hadn't heard anything from Bod so she assumed she was in the clear as far as Silas showing up was concerned, and this was just another mundane Saturday in early September back in Kansas, so she'd hopped a portal and here she was, heading to the Perk first for a hot chocolate and a muffin for breakfast.

And being her, she sent out a mass text to all her friends she figured would be on the island on this fine Saturday:

eighteen, bitches! holding court at the perk this morning, come say hi if you're not swamped with guests.

She was so not above attention whoring when it was her birthday and her parents wouldn't acknowledge it for another month. She picked a table by the window and settled down to peoplewatch with her treats.

[ooc: Open place in town is open, whether for Kate-bothering or completely unrelated needs! And if you think you may have gotten Kate's text, you did.]

For once, Kate was in an okay mood upon coming to work. Some of her coworkers weren't, on account of her having missed yet another shift last week, but she paid them no mind. It wasn't like it was her fault she kept getting turned into a cat or yanked away to do shit that was far more important than running the concessions stand hardly anyone visited.

And in any case, she was there now, and that was all that mattered. Not that she seemed to be working too hard, mostly engrossed with some things on her phone and jotting down a list of things on a small notepad.

But hey, she'd picked the movie for today!

MST3000 was open, and enjoying not being a cat anymore.

Kate had seriously considered blowing off work today for a day in London. Somehow that hadn't happened, though. She wasn't sure why, because certainly it would have been more fun to be out in the city offending people with her short dress than being stuck at the theater.

But she supposed there was more loyalty hiding in her than she'd thought. Sigh. The marquee got updated, and she took her usual place behind the concessions counter.

Irresponsible Educator

MST3000 was open for business.

When she came into work today, Kate was still feeling a bit moody over Nathan's abrupt leaving, even though she kept telling herself she'd been expecting him to pull a stunt like that. He was, after all, an awful lot like she herself.

But it still sucked, and that may have contributed to how there wasn't much of a fight over the movie of the day. They were still in Iceland, still surrounded by Vikings, and a somewhat related blockbuster had just opened across the country they were usually part of.

Thor

Yeah. It was an easy pick. MST3000 was open for business, Viking or otherwise.

Last night, Kate had finally managed to get a call through to her mother after nearly a week of trying (and before that, over a week of not bothering to even try because she'd needed a bit of distance). She'd been expecting to have to cover for why she'd been out of contact for so long, but her mother had actually seemed pretty mellow, and hadn't said a single thing about any missed calls.

The explanation had come soon enough, though. When Kate had carefully asked about how Charmaine had been doing after the wedding/family secret unveiling extravaganza, her mom had said the strangest thing. "Well, I think she's still coming to terms with it, I mean it's only been three days."

...According to Kate's perception of the world, it had been over two weeks. Oh yeah. Welcome to having timeline issues, Kate. She was pretty adamant to not think about that at all today. Her senior prom was coming up, so it really was time to think about accessories, rather than give herself a headache trying to figure out interdimensional time differences or, God forbid, think about the stuff she'd told Mitchell about a few days ago.

The hardest question she wanted to be dealing with today was who was going to ask who to the prom. (She figured it was Bod's turn this year.) The day's movie was a comedy, too, and she approved of that.

Bradley

MST3000 was open.

Kate had totally brought her laptop to work with her today. She'd put it away if anyone told her to, but until then, she'd be doing research for her Paranormal Activity presentation, and fucking around on Tumblr. Not necessarily in that order.

Don't judge. She was trying hard not to have a mild panic attack over the coming weekend. She wasn't even sure what was making her so nervous about it, but she knew the jumpiness was there, and it needed to be ignored. To help with that, she occasionally snuck into the theater as well, as was her way. It was a light movie today.

No one needed any heavy drama in the week leading to Parents Weekend. Or more Justin Bieber, ugh. MST3000 was open!

Another week, another day at work for Kate. It hadn't gotten old yet, and she liked having somewhere to go, especially with the random moods she was having. Yesterday had been a little taxing and a little weird and although she'd gotten rid of some of the effects of that with a long phonecall with Zach last night, she'd still woken up a little restless this morning.

Today's movie wasn't about romantic relationships and she was happy about that, at least.

Dig!

Mystery Sign Theatre 3000 was open.

The weather had gone back to normal, there wasn't a hangover to have, and it was Kate's first day at her new place of employment. That was all exciting enough for her to be really able to shove all the not-so-okay stuff of the past few days out of her mind. Any conflicted emotions she might've gained yesterday weren't showing when she got to work.

... Okay, so maybe it did show in some ways. But at least this movie had some rocking tunes!
