EP: Kate Barlow | Main Bar, Library (age spell plot)

[ikissdhimbck]

It had been a quiet day for Kate when the loud BWA-BOOOOOOOM shook the bar. She'd just settled down after her nightly chores in the stables, easing the tension out of her back in an armchair by the fire, sipping on a hot tea with bourbon in.

(It's getting close to All Hallows' Eve, and that's making her anxious.)

However, she didn't have all that long to think about the approaching holiday before she was seeing the room from an even lower vantage point, face scrunched in distaste at the liquor on her tongue. She blinked at the teacup and quickly set it down, jumped to her feet, and looked around the strange room.

" ... Daddy?"

Kate Barlow, aged twelve, was off in search of her father.

What she found instead were the libraries.


Now, far calmer, a young Kate sits amid a pile of books, occasionally sweeping cautious glances around the room. She's finding the words of Jules Verne to be a comfort at present. Clearly she slipped and bumped her head during chores, or stumbled onto a glorious vessel somewhere in deep space. She isn't quite sure what to make of it right now, but anywhere with an endless supply of science fiction can't be all that bad.


[ooc: open forever! you may find Kate in the library or the main bar. if your character wants to be in on a heist, they can take this opportunity to meet Kate. the actual heist will happen in a later post, so it's not required you tag this one (I'll update all interested parties once it's all in place). if you'd like me to send Kate round to one of your posts, just let me know!

"I think so, too," he says. "But it often doesn't work that way. Men and women can be very different."

[ikissdhimbck]

"I'll say."

Is the rolling of her eyes targeted at him? Probably.

However, her expression isn't quite as severe when she tilts her head, studying him carefully.

"What's your name?"

[cook_the_rude]

"I'm Hannibal Lecter," he says.

Pause.

"And you?"

[ikissdhimbck]

"Miss Katherine Barlow, pleased to make your acquaintance."

The introduction is nearly automatic.

"How old are you?"

[cook_the_rude]

"Nice to meet you, Katherine," he says. "I'm seventeen and you are, what, twelve?"

[ikissdhimbck]

This time the eye-rolling is very surely targeted at him.

(Nobody tell her daddy just how impolite she's been.)

"Yes, you're very good at guessin' things you already know."

[cook_the_rude]

"Of course," he says. "So, I guess I'll go and find more books."

[ikissdhimbck]

"There are plenty of books, if you'll bother t'read any of 'em."

Yes, definitely a strange boy. Kate will keep her eye on him.

[cook_the_rude]

"Ciao," he says, in exaggerated Italian, and walks away.-


[[OOC: Thanks for the thread!]]
