001 - August Happenings! [OPEN]
who: Kate Fuller & OPEN
what: August Post
when: 1st - 15th
where: Library/Coffee Shop/Bar/Around
warnings: N/A
Library/Coffee Shop[Open]
Kate had taken Cisco's advice and started taking part time classes while in quarantine. She doesn't have a specific plan for the future but she's having fun and doing something with her time besides working. She's decided to take calculus, a mechanics course with a Lab component and anthropology. Being overly studious meant that she wanted to get ahead before her classes even started. She could be found at the library or at a coffee house taking up a table with notes, textbooks and random post-its.
She's wearing plaid with a tank-top underneath and a plan pair of jeans. She's mindful of those around her while also remaining focused on her task. Besides textbooks she has what looks like a safe lock at her table that she's occasionally fiddling with. In a strange way picking and resetting the tumblers in the lock helped her relax and focus.
There are things that she didn't want to forget and bit by bit she felt them slipping away; maybe she just didn't want a normal life anymore.
The Quarantine[Open]
Kate didn't know what kind of bar the Quarantine was going to be but it didn't really matter. Her goal was to visit Drew while he was working. She had managed to get a job as a waitress with a boss who was willing to train her as a bartender but she still wanted to do some research on her own.
She wasn't dressed to be at a bar, wearing a cardigan and a pair of jeans, but she was open to talking to those around her. There was a light orange drink in front of her that sat mostly untouched. She wanted to try it and learn what was inside of it but she could only taste the sugar on her tongue.
Kate's thoughts twisted and wandered, wondering if bartenders had to know about wine or beer or if it was just mixed drinks. She played with a small plastic sword that had been in her drink with a cherry before she ate it. She wasn't looking to get drunk but Kate really wasn't an expert drinker.

[ooc: Come at me. Kate can be found walking home late at night or around the shared housing or getting a feel for the city so feel free to run into her; literally or figuratively. You can also hit me up for plans.]

[Closed to Eddie Thawne]
It's a late night before Kate was able to leave and head home. She didn't think anything of it. She was used to being out after dark and oddly comfortable walking between the pools of lamp light that filled the streets. Her arms wrapped around her torso despite the warmth of the season drifting through the city streets.
She heard the sound of a trashcan clattering to the ground and turned towards the source of the noise. The street was empty, sending a chill down her spine. A frown pulled at her lips as she turned back to her path, running into the figure that had filled the space in front of her. She felt his hand wrap around her arm and heard a voice in her ear while alcohol laced breath puffed in her face. 'What cha doin' out so late?' The strangers words slurred together and when he didn't let go Kate stomped her heel on his foot.
The force was enough to release her but he continued to step forward. "Get away from me." Kate's voice was tense, her eyes glaring at the man blocking her path. She had tenacity but the stranger was much bigger than she was.
no subject
So when he sees a young girl on the street, standing just outside the pool of light cast by one of the street lights, with a guy's hand on her arm, a nasty expression on his face, Eddie's jaw tenses. As he moves closer, speeding up his pace, he loosens his gun in its holster, prepared for action, and when he sees the girl stomp on the guy's foot, break away from him and stand her ground against the odds, Eddie's suddenly jogging up.
"Hey, hey. What seems to be the trouble?"
It's impossible to miss that his hand is on his gun.
no subject
Kate wasn't a fan of backing down. Even if she didn't have the skills or weapons to defend herself she'd stand her ground.
The stranger took a little bit longer to register that not only did Eddie have a gun but that he was silently threatening to use it. He looked as if he'd been rudely interrupted and that it was not at all his fault. He turned more towards Eddie, the alcohol making his movements slow and disjointed. "What are you going to do?" The man asked Eddie, slurring his words together while completely ignoring Kate.
no subject
Thankfully, the guy turns his attention to Eddie instead of the girl, and the moment it's there, Eddie puffs his chest out, squares his shoulders, makes himself masculine and intimidating and completely distracting. And while he talks, he starts moving, to put himself between the guy and the young girl he was menacing.
"That really all depends on whether you're going to keep bothering her, or if you're going to move along peacefully. I'm a police officer, so if you decide to keep harassing a girl in the street at night, I'll do whatever it takes to get you tossed in the drunk tank at best, and prison at worst."
no subject
Alone, Kate wouldn't have been enough to deter the man. Eddie however, was a different story. He was larger and had the police backing him up. The stranger lifted his palms towards Eddie, implying that he wasn't going to do anything, before turning and stumbling down the street in the opposite direction.
Looking at Eddie's back reminded Kate of Freddie and his efforts to protect her. That had been a different time and a different situation. They had been after different things and both had been willing to go through great lengths to completely their goals. Kate's didn't end so well.
"Thank you." She spoke softly, her words holding back anger more than fear. A drunk man was not scary after the things that kate had seen.
no subject
The girl thanks him, her voice quiet and restrained, and he isn't sure if she's afraid or angry or what else might be going on under the surface. But she has the presence of mind to be restrained, and that speaks well of her. She isn't panicking, it's not too overwhelming for her.
Smiling a little, Eddie walks back to her, holding out a hand, "You're welcome. Are you okay?"
no subject
Light green eyes turned up towards Eddie as a thin smile pulled over her lips. "I'm fine. He didn't have time to do anything." And she was ready to kick him in the groin if he had.
Kate held out her hand to Eddie. "I'm Kate."
no subject
Smiling warmly at her, he takes her hand and gives it a shake, firm but gentle.
"Nice to meet you Kate. I'm Eddie, Eddie Thawne. I'm a Detective with the RPD."
Tilting his head, his expression shifting a little sheepish, "Would you mind if I walked you home? If I don't, I'm going to worry about you all night."
no subject
"Eddie. I'll make sure to remember if I ever run into trouble again." He reminded her a little bit of the Eddie she knew though not as tense as the Peace Keeper. "You know, you're the second person named Eddie I've met in law enforcement. It was before I came here." So he knew that there wasn't another man named Eddie walking around Quarantine.
At his request, Kate nodded. "Yeah, I lived in the communal housing. It isn't far but… honestly," She exhaled, flashing him a smile. "I would really like the company. Work has me out late and the walk home is always a little tense." It didn't help that she had run-ins with vampires before arriving in Quarantine. The dark held rough memories for her.
no subject
When she says that she'll remember his name if she runs into trouble again, he gives her a little grin, "Good. I'm glad. And...oh really? Maybe it's a cop name." The little grin widens a bit, "I hope he wasn't a bad cop."
As they continue and she mentions where she lives, Eddie starts moving in that direction, his eyes on her, making sure she seems to be moving comfortably under her own strength.
"Where do you work? Maybe before we part ways, I can give you my contact info, and if you're ever feeling too tense, I'll come and walk you."
no subject
It wasn't a hard walk though Kate's eyes continued to look around them as they made their way to her home. Learning about the creatures that went bump in the night made her more cautious come sunset.
"Lux. It's a bar owned by Lucifer." Which was why she was walking home so late. "I don't drink a lot or anything like that but I like working there." It reminds her of Mexico which was both terrifying and comforting at the same time. At least she knew that her boss had the power to stop vampires from eating the populace of the bar and Lucifer would probably agree that it was bad for business.
