So yeah. Some time after breakfast, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Third Floor had notified the school administration with some not-quite-even-half truth about why she needed to cut her vacation short and get back to Fandom, booked a portal, and subsequently returned from Hawaii a few days early. It may have seemed like a completely insane thing to do from an outside perspective but really, she deemed it best for her sanity right now. She needed a bit of distance between herself and... a lot of stuff, and an uncharacteristically quiet Fandom seemed like the place for that.

Having put away her handwavily purchased groceries, she flopped down on a couch with a bag of candy and turned the television on. A brief moment of remote-clicking and mild frowning later, she had come to the conclusion that the TV was joining in on the Spring Break spirit thing by refusing to show anything other than a Jersey Shore marathon on every single channel.

And Kate was just fine with that. In fact, she immediately felt a little bit better, a little more at home in her own skin. There was no chance of her being exposed to anything intellectual, and that was perfect. She got a little more comfortable on the couch, popped a piece of candy in her mouth, and prepared to be entertained by a completely skewed version of reality.

[ooc: Open common room in a mostly deserted dorm building is still an open place! Can also be open to texts or calls, I s'pose.]
