( One (1) Katherine Jane Galloway is supposed to be setting up Fortress for the evening. She's supposed to be back in Avalon, living life and making money.

Instead she's standing in the middle of an unfamiliar city with a shiny little mark of a stick person mid-run on the side of her neck. Hands go to her hips and she exhales in an irritated little breath which flickers with flame.

Well, that's new. She blinks, brown eyes flitting from one side to another to check if anyone noticed that, but it seems like everyone here is equally as disoriented, getting their bearings in an unusual situation. And maybe it's lucky for her that she's already lived through one multiversal world pulling her into its clutches and giving her powers, because she quickly gets over the initial surprise at unexpected fire powers in favour of finding some way to spend her time.

There's a little cafe with outdoor seating a few doors down, but all the seats are empty and there's not so much as a single staff member standing to greet potential customers. Strange. Kate frowns, a sharp fang catching her lower lip as she folds her arms around herself, the motion dragging her attention to the new device on her wrist.

And from there, it's really only a matter of time before she's purchased a Tentacle Rope from the shady shop and tucked the bag inside the pocket of her jeans. Whether it's ever going to be useful or not is a question for later Kate, because right now she's more preoccupied with flagging down the nearest person with a wave, loose hair bouncing around her as she strides over. )

Oi. You know what's going on?

( After a while, with all the information digested and understood, Kate decides that she's going to take advantage of this whole thing.

To put it simply: this is a free digital holiday, away from the pressures of running (several) businesses, where she can kick her feet up, hopping up onto an empty bar and reaching over to pull herself a pint of beer before she shrugs off her blazer and takes a drink, brows lifting when someone comes through the door. )

Thirsty?

( She's already reaching for the glasses. )

( She knows that silhouette. That cape.

And, casual as you like, Kate slides up right behind her. )

Hey, Princess.
