I'm definitely interested.


Kaitlin O'Connor – 2017


Kaitlin accepted the well worn leather wallet as Roddy presented it to her. A quick glance at Elaine told Kaitlin that her old friend's wife was less than thrilled at how friendly Roddy was being.

That feeling was confirmed when Elaine decided to pipe into the conversation, spouting off something about snakes. The corners of Kaitlin's lips twitched upwards as she tried to suppress a smile. Ten years had passed, but it seemed Kaitlin still had a talent for bringing Elaine from 0 to completely pissed off in 30 seconds flat. The blonde was always so obvious about it too. That was what made it so fun.

“Snakes have never been much of a problem for me,” she said with a flick of her wrist, waving the currently forgotten about wallet “I've never had a problem ousting pests.”

Kaitlin meant only to glance at the photo out of politeness, but she found herself captivated. The little girl was beautiful. Of course she was though. There were many terrible things Kait could say about the little girl's mother, but Elaine was a beautiful woman, so it would make sense the child would be nothing short of perfection.

Of course looking at the child's photo brought memories and emotions rushing back to Kait. There was no way she would reveal anything now though. Not with Elaine looking for any sign of weakness, any opening to latch onto her jugular and try to end things once and for all. She didn't have to look in a mirror though to know that her eyes had taken on the pre-teary eyed glassy sheen.

Any feelings of good will and kindness were quickly evaporated when Elaine opened her mouth. Again. This time she made loud proclamations about protecting her family. God, she couldn't be more obvious or dramatic if she tried. It was clear to Kaitlin that Elaine was ready to leave, but there was no way Kaitlin was letting her decide when the interaction was over. She was going to keep at least of modicum of control over the situation.

“Roddy,” she said, completely turning her body away from Elaine (who was clearly chomping at the bit to leave, she said as much) to hand him back his wallet, still open. “Your daughter is beautiful. I'm sure she brings you so much joy. I was supposed to find Mike here, but I think he got held up. Anyway, I should find him. Have a great rest of your night, I'm sure I will see you around now that I am back.”

With that, Kaitlin headed straight out the doors of the gym, then right out of the building.

Kaitlin O'connor - 2006


Kaitlin broke out into a full grin at her friend's response. It was rare that Kaitlin shared a true smile out of happiness, but when she did, she was told it was nearly mesmerizing to see. She smiled with her whole being, teeth showing, eyes sparkling, usually with a laugh. She had a smile that was contagious, one that says she knows true joy, and wouldn't you like to experience that with her? Unfortunately, most people only experienced the one meant to seduce or manipulate.

She began to sober as Rod talked about his troubles with Derek. He was a tough guy, she knew how much it cost him to open up about his difficulties. Kaitlin was probably one of the few people who knew even a fraction of what went on in his life. Still, she tried to stay upbeat, as she gently grabbed his arm, wrapping it in a hug and resting her head just below his shoulder.

“Hey, you know I'm here for you right? I mean, my family would probably let you stay with us for a few nights if you wanted. Not like you would have to go far to get to my house. We could just say we had a project or something. My mom loves you anyway, gives her someone to feed when you are around.”

Roddy changed the subject quickly, but that didn't surprise Kait. She knew it would take more than just a few minutes to sort everything out in his head. Other than his near fist fight with Derek, Rod didn't usually jump into things without weighing all his options. Instead, he brought back up the disaster that was the film festival.

Kaitlin didn't even get to answer before she heard the voice of someone she was hoping to never have to deal with again. And of course he had his pet blond Pomeranian in tow.

It was impossible to keep herself from tensing, her nails most likely digging into poor Roddy's arm, which she still held like a life line.

“Oh you have got to be kidding me.” she growled, all traces of her previous smiled erased. “I have nothing to say to your lap dog.” She said to Decky, her eyes widening at his close proximity. “And you!” she said, raising her voice to be sure people near by would hear “I certainly want nothing to do with you, you psycho, you pulled a knife on me!”

Emilia Carter


“That's a wrap on your scenes for the school Emilia. Great job, god I've missed getting to write for Kaitlin.”

Emilia looked over at the writer for the first episode of the current season. She had worked on the show 10 years ago, and Emilia had always been fond of her. Writers weren't always on set, but everyone wanted to be around to greet the returning cast members.

“Thanks,” she said, stifling a yawn. She had forgotten how exhausting it was to go through the many emotions that made up Kaitlin O'Connor. “I need a nap”

“Nope,” came a voice off her right shoulder, the director. “You have one more scene to get through out of the school.”

“Roger that,” she replied, fake saluting. “Point me in the right direction and I will head on over.”
@BrutalBx@Starwinter So me and DPL are working on a flashback collab and were thinking of dragging Kait and Roddy into it for added drama. DPL said we should ask you two about it though given how chaotic it might get trying to have 4 people weigh in on the same conversation. It would shorten me and DPL's collab and allow a quicker post on our part, but if you were planning ahead for your Flashback posts between Kait and Roddy, it would interrupt it, so we wanted to check in.


I'm in!

unrelated, i will have Kait's response post up this weekend. Then I will probably pull her out of the scene and switch to Emilia.
@Dirty Pretty Lies do your thang girlll.
@BrutalBx
Quick question before I throw a post up IC. Is the memorial happening on a Friday leading into the weekend, or will everyone see each other and students at the school the next day?
Kaitlin O'Connor - 2017


Kaitlin bristled upon hearing the unmistakable voice of Elaine Lancaster, barely suppressing a flinch. Many of the guys back in high school may have described her voice as being almost musical, but to Kaitlin it would always be shrill and headache inducing. How she hadn't heard the blonde banshee approaching was a mystery, and a testament to how caught up she was in seeing Roddy again.

As she cleared her throat, her eyes made their way to Elaine's hand, which was resting quite possessively on Roddy. If she wasn't so thrown by the whole encounter, Kaitlin may have had to laugh at the absurdity of the blatant display of ownership. It did not escape her notice that the wedding bands were now fully on display.

Kaitlin had never been one to notice details, and her initial gaze had swept right over Roddy's hand, not even marking the ring earlier. She flushed, whether from embarrassment or annoyance was anyone's guess.

Quickly though, Kaitlin schooled her features into a look of indifference. Whatever emotions she felt at the situation, she could sort through later.

“Congratulations,” she said slowly. No need to let on to how quickly she wanted to get this interaction over with. “You know Elaine, I actually was going to say hello to you earlier, but when I found you, you were already in a pretty serious conversation with Decky Boaz. I thought it would be rude to interrupt. Has he been in town this whole time as well?”

Kaitlin's voice was steel coated in sugar as she addressed her former rival. Although she knew anyone passing by wouldn't sense the undertone of her words, Elaine was sure to be riled up by them.

Kaitlin O'Connor - 2006


“Are you kidding me?” Kaitlin scolded as she tugged Roddy away. “What the hell has gotten into you?”

As she passed Elaine Lancaster in the hall, she resisted the urge to stick out her tongue. She also resisted the urge to rub the back of her head, which still occasionally stung from a rather nasty hair pull.

Finally reaching a corridor she could turn down, Kaitlin tugged Roddy around the corner. Immediately she began running her hands over his face, head and back. Standing at only 5'4", it had to look absurd to anyone noticing the diminutive red head patting down Roddy.

“In case you are wondering what I'm doing,” she said from behind his back, a slow grin over taking her face. “I'm checking for any sign you may have been overtaken by an alien, body snatcher, demon...maybe a hitch hiking ghost?”

The joke was silly, but Kaitlin knew her friend well enough to know that he got enough shit from other people. He didn't need it from her too.
I'm sitting on my hands to stop from posting Kaits response. We've got the born bitch vs. The born manipulator.
Ok I posted a super quick Kaitlin post to get things moving.
We may want to look into added a few more people now, looks like we are down about half the cast now.
Kaitlin O'Connor


Kaitlin turned at the sound of her name, her green eyes landing on the owner of that voice, Roddy.

“No, don't apologize for anything!” she said, ignoring his outstretched hand in favor of a somewhat awkward hug. “My mini freak out was the whole reason we didn't really get to talk earlier.”

She inspected Roddy slowly from head to toe, reconciling the image of the awkward teenager with the man currently standing in front of her. He filled out his frame more now, and stood with far more confidence than he had in the past.

Kaitlin hadn't stayed in touch with Roddy, Hell, she hadn't really stayed in touch with anyone. She was surprised by the ease in which he approached her, like they didn't have ten years separating them, but then again, Kaitlin had always found Roddy easy to be friends with. In high school, he seemed content to let her come and go as she pleased, never asking for more from their friendship than she was willing to give. Kaitlin had often felt suffocated by others expectations of her in the past, but never felt that with Roddy. She could go days without talking to him, and he would still save her ass when she needed it. Now, with ten years of life experience, she was able to see how much she took that for granted.

“Are you working at the school now? I want to know everything.” she said truthfully, briefly reaching out to squeeze his arm.
What's TV without a little drama? I now have that Taylor Swift song stuck in my head... "cause baby now we've got bad blood"
