Open Stage Thread - Where Everyone can post. [Archive]

Welcome to the "open set" of Murder Mystery Theatre.

Everyone can post here, including non-players aka "the peanut gallery". If, in the spirit of the game, any non-players would like to choose a "Redshirt" persona, we have included a number of their pics (in the spoiler tagged area below) that can be used as sigs or in posts.

The players will also post in this thread when not taking part in the structured scenes. However, they must remain "in character" and stay true to their personal dossiers.

This improvisational "open set" can be an advantage for the players. It is here they can pursue their own strategies and try to outwit, mislead and confuse the other players.

Everyone should know that some posters in the "peanut gallery" or "Redshirts" may or may not be actual players in the game. You didn't think we told you everything, did you?

Click on the Redshirt of your choice and then copy and paste the url as an image.

Is this going to take the same sort of time commitment as Survivor? If not, I'd like to play Rose. If so, I will have fun watching.

:D

No it will not as Fancy Monkey already reassured several people.

So Rose sweet Rose --- you are.

That leaves only one - Nikki - and then we can start on teams.

I may not look like much and you might think I'm not your type, but....

Marry me, Rose. Make me the happiest man in the world.

Nikki, my little Oven-Fried Pork Chop, why are you doing this to me? Why do you flirt with these buffoons? Let us list them:
Jack -- a cry-baby who can't even manage to get into that strumpet Kate's pants? How could he ever satisfy you?
Sawyer -- trailer trash who would put you to sleep with his unending lame nicknames
Locke -- a bigger boob than either of yours
Michael -- two words: MONSTER KID!!!
Sayid -- he's the poodle of that empty-headed blonde.
Bernard -- well, of course older men are naturally sexy and desirous, but you remember what happened to the last geezer you shacked up with, don't you?Seriously, my little Noodle Casserole, I can't be held responsible for what I might do if you keep toying with my feelings like you are doing.Oh Paulo, you are a jewel.

I have explained that I do these things for you.

You make valid points, but I understand they come from jealousy.

-Jack isn't that bad. It is nice to see a man not afraid to show his emotions. True he cries more than a hormonal pregnant woman on the Oprah show, but who wouldn't cry when they realized they were stuck on an island with total idiots?

-Sawyer is like an M&M. Hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Yes, he is like a Jerry Springer episode waiting to happen, but I have grown accustom to his sweet little nicknames. I am thankful that every time he calls me "Who"?, he remembers to add the "W".

-Locke is very boobish, but man does he love to blow stuff up. I find that a very attractive quality in a man.

-Michael's son does pose somewhat of a problem. I guess at the age he is at is would be too late to administer the morning after pill.

-Sayid would be my pick of the bunch. You call him a poodle. That is the kind of man every woman wants. Put him on a leash and play with him at their own convince. As long as he doesn't start marking his territory, we are fine, otherwise, he will have to be neutered.

-Bernard. What can I say? You know I have a weakness for older men. Yes, older wealthy men. Older wealthy men with health problems. Older wealthy men with health problems who are willing to marry me and then put me in the will. We all know that never happens in the real world. That sounds like something straight out of Hollywood. What older wealthy man with health problems would marry a stripper and then put her in the will?

Don't worry Paulo. It all means nothing. You are my diamond.

Pay no attention to these young whippersnappers, they have no interest in anything but their own libidos and ogling one another.

I will take care of you dear...I've heard something about a raft launch in a few weeks. As God is my witness, you--and hopefully me as well--will be on that raft. You have that appointment at the Mayo Clinic next month.

Yes, it is I, my darling Rose. I've been busy, working on a couple of things that might actually get us off this Godforsaken island.

Pay no attention to these young whippersnappers, they have no interest in anything but their own libidos and ogling one another.

I will take care of you dear...I've heard something about a raft launch in a few weeks. As God is my witness, you--and hopefully me as well--will be on that raft. You have that appointment at the Mayo Clinic next month.
*back to work*

We'll see, my dear Bernard. It could be that I am meant to stay here on this island, where my body is healed and whole. Let's not try too hard to get on that raft, okay dear?

...So if you still have a space open to join the Rose team, I'd be most pleased to say "sign me up".

Yay! :awwhug:

The sigs now have the players' names on them. The players need to use these sigs once the game begins and through its duration. I'll add names as new members sign up.

If you are already using your sig and do not see your name, then just refresh your browser and it should be there. Unless, like island maverick you did not hot link them as instructed. :D In that case, you'll need to get rid of the one you have and pick up the new one.

Meanwhile. I am stuck in the water clutching a bag of diamonds I found earlier while searching the lagoon with Nikki. Well, this sucks, that's for sure. Holding my breathe, I swin underwater towards a patch of tall grass along the bank.

Once there, while lurking in the weeds along the shore, I notice some snails. Hmmm... perhaps they, and some drawn butter, could win me the friendship of that crazy French woman that Said is always banging on about?Something wasn't right, so I followed Paulo back to the lagoon. From a distance, I see him picking up what appears to be hamster poo and smelling them. I hear him talking to himself about Fabio and butter commercials.

While standing on the bank of the lagoon watching, I hear a twig snap behind me. I turn and see nothing. I hear a whispery voice softly calling my name. I slowly make my way to the tree line and my foot taps against something to make a clang noise. As I gently brush the tall grass away, a glint almost blinds me as the reflecting sunlight hits a metal bedpan.

Disgusted, I thought to myself, "Oh no, now I'm going to be stuck in these bushes for hours while these two chowder heads fumble around with their hamhanded flirting."

I am always amused by what a pack of clowns the so-called 'leadership' group are. They think they are the looked up to, when in truth the rest of the castaways spend most of their time laughing at them behind their backs. Ha-ha-ha... Frogurt's mocking imitation of Jack is always a hoot, "Live together -- die alone. Well, gotta go folks -- I need to keep an eye on Kate and make sure she isn't boinking Sawyer." Ha-ha-ha!

Then there is that bald headed nincompoop who fancies himself a great white hunter who hangs around by himself now that he killed off his one disciple -- the completely worthless momma's boy Boone. And what's with Boone's empty headed, albeit fetching looking, sister Shannon, who's stupidity is only exceeded by that dimbulb Claire? What does she see in that idiot who keeps fiddling with the busted radio, and for that matter, what does Claire see in that simpering junkie Charlie?

Yes, they are all morons. I imagine, that if we were ever rescued and a made-for-TV show is ever made about our adventures, that no doubt Nikki and I will be the stars of the show and much beloved by the fans.

Hmmm... who would play my part? Perhaps they could get that famous Brazilian movie star Rodrigo Santoro to play me? Now, who would play Nikki?

Where did he go now? Michael thinks to himself. Walt was always running off these days, taking Vincent into the woods, or hanging out with that Locke guy. As he stood in the sand, Michael spotted Locke sitting in his usual pose, staring out to sea as if it had some great meaning or something. At least Walt wasn't with him today. He heard Jin and Sawyer behind him arguing as they worked on the raft. He sighed. Keeping these two in line could prove to be harder than even keeping Walt in line...

"You guys wanna calm down? The more time you spend arguing the slower this raft gets done. Do you want off this island or not?"

Sayid sets down his pack and approaches the hulk of the nearly completed raft. Sawyer's laugh blocks out Jin's frustrated groan, but Michael's annoyed retort silences them both.

"New guys???"

That's the problem with the group of layabouts who fancy themselves the leaders of our little group of castaways -- they are so self-absorbed that they cannot see past their noses. They should take a lesson from me and learn a little humility. Then again, who could not learn a valuable lesson or two from me?

While these blockheads spend all their time in idleness, who was it that does the real work of hauling suitcases hither and yon in the background and building the beach shelters or cleaning up the caves? It was the rest of us, that's who.

Locke spends all his time sitting on that hatch, babbling about his destiny, or telling stories about Michelangelo carving the marble, while it is Nikki and I who discovered the Pearl Station with the TV sets and the working toilet.
Jack boasted of saving us from death by finding a puddle of water, while Sceve and company devised water-proof shelter roofs to protect us from drowning during the daily torrential downpours.
Hurley has stuffed so many mangoes into his massive belly that the we now have to forage miles from the camp to find fruit to eat.
That bubblehead Claire got lost in the jungle, probably chasing a butterfly that caught her attention, and the result was that Ethan -- a charming and trustworthy chap if ever there was one -- died as he heroically tried to rescue her.
If Charlie sings that "You all everybody" song one more time I'm going to wring his scrawny little neck.
Kate is just a blabbermouth. The camp gossip who runs from one group to the next spreading stories.
Sawyer is nothing but a thief.
Sayid spends his days fiddling with hopelessly broken electronics rubbish as he tries to figure out a way to get into that nitwit blonde's pants.

Ahh, they are a worthless lot. Thank God for Frogurt, the Rash Guy, Sceve, Artz, Nikki, and of course myself. Without us we would have all died of starvation and exposure weeks ago.

"You know, Kate has her shelter near Nikki and my shelter. Sawyer too. Their quite good friends -- ah, they have such good fun and do much giggling when they play their drinking games at night... "

"At any rate, Frogurt has made sure that we have the wood for the cooking fires and the signal fire you are so uninterested in. However, I'm sure you'll have luck getting those slugs who live in the caves to gather wood. Maybe you could convince Hurley to gather some while he is out grazing on roots and grubs?"

"At any rate... yes, it was most generous of you to donate your pole for the building of the raft. You know, I am thinking it is most unfair that Michael, his little brat, Sawyer and the Chinese fellow are the ones getting space on it. You know, it really should be the important people, like for example you and I, that get room on that raft. Well... it would be a shame if something were to happen to two of them -- like if their breakfast bowl of Fruit Loops got poisoned like that poor Producer's did. Muuuhahahaha. But then we would deserve the open spaces, wouldn't we?"*Thinks to herself this mirror is shaped rather odd and has a funny smell to it, but it is very shiny*

"You know, Kate has her shelter near and Nikki and my shelter. Sawyer too. Their quite good friends -- ah, they have such good fun and do much giggling when they play their drinking games at night... "
It is fun to watch them interact and share silly nicknames between themselves. Why just the other day I heard them giggling hysterically at the cute little names.
Sawyer was saying, "Dr. Cry-Right", "Capt'n Kleenex", "The Limp Wimp", "Doctor Sniffles", "Saint Emo", "Marcus Welby, Cry Baby" and Kate was laughing so hard she was doubled over.

Oh Paulo, sweet Paulo.

Do you not see what I am doing? The more that I toy with Jack, the more he responds with his loose cannon sense of thought. When that happens, it just gives us more fodder to laugh at behind his back.

"Well, perhaps we should return to the beach, or -- better yet -- we could head over to the hatch, hide in some bushes and yell in a spooky voice, 'John, this is your destiny.

Now young lady, that never happened. We both know it. You're just too afraid to admit what you really saw that night. Too afraid to face it. Perhaps you should be. But at some point you will have to.The Pearl has video cameras.
We knew you would try and deny it, that is why we grabbed some still shots of the footage. It is grainy, but we can clearly tell it is you by the "I Lurves The Spice Girls" backpack and the Mel B. hat.

I needed his assistance applying my pasties.

I have some experience with that. I applied some pasty to the inside of my mouth earlier, and it helped me find a baby!

Or even better, find Locke. And if you do, tell him I'm lookin for him.

Were you looking for me, Michael? How can I help?

Yeeesh, you guys are waaay behind the eight ball. I've already plotted my first eight moves, and I'm pretty sure it was the Butler in the Library with the Candlestick.

Paulo! I hardly recognized you. You don't look like yourself. But you do have an idea there. What we need is a map of the island that is at least halfway accurate.

Locke spends all his time sitting on that hatch, babbling about his destiny, or telling stories about Michelangelo carving the marble, while it is Nikki and I who discovered the Pearl Station with the TV sets and the working toilet.

What hatch? Wait, you've found some sort of station? This could be an important discovery, Paulo. Great job! Can you and Nikki take me to it?

"Of course I wouldn't dream of making a decision like that by myself, but I could bring the matter up at the next Castaway's Council meeting. You know we insist on discussing everything."

"However, I must warn you not to get your hopes up. Frogurt, who you no doubt know is the President of the Council, is likely to be adamantly opposed to involving you -- or any of those clowns you hang around with for that matter -- in any serious issue having to do with the health of our community."

"Frankly, your general laziness, secretive ways, and ludicrous stories are irritating the lot of us. Not only that, but the fact that you stopped hunting boar so you could spend all your time giving Boone goo-goo eyes by the hatch didn't help your case much. In fact, about the only check-mark you have in the plus column is the eagerness with which you do your dish washing chores."

"Still, I will ask to see what they say."

Council? What council? I've never heard Frogurt mention any council before. Did you get into my paste? I think you may be hullinating. Nikki says you always complain about not being involved in any group activities, but now you're talking about some imaginary "council?" And, for reasons the island cannot fathom, you're putting everything you say in "quotes?"

If you won't take me to this station thing, perhaps Nikki will. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to follow your backtrail.

"Frankly, your general laziness,

Laziness? No offense, Paulo, but all I've ever seen you do is hit golf balls around on the beach.

Wait, I'm lazy because I do chores? I've always believed that work builds character. Every job is important, in some way. And what is this "hatch" thing you keep talking about? Is it the same thing as the station you and Nikki found?

""Still, I will ask to see what they say."

I have some experience with that. I applied some pasty to the inside of my mouth earlier, and it helped me find a baby!

I know why you want a gun, Michael. And I understand the sense of helplessness you feel. Believe me, I do. But Jack and I have agreed that the guns will remain locked up, and will only be handed out to qualified individuals on an as-needed basis, temporarily.

I'll tell you what. Come with me, and we'll put in some practice with one of the rifles. Practice makes proficient. You need training, I know you don't want to accidently hurt anybody. And once you're ready, I will go with you, and we'll see if we can find a clue to where Walt was taken. But nobody goes it alone, these people are too dangerous. They know the terrain, and probably have the advantage of numbers.

Paulo! I hardly recognized you. You don't look like yourself. But you do have an idea there. What we need is a map of the island that is at least halfway accurate. A map might help us in our search for Walt, or even other hatches, if they exist.

Wait, you've found another station? This could be an important discovery, Paulo. Great job! Can you and Nikki take me to it?

Council? What council? I've never heard Frogurt mention any council before. Did you get into that box of statues? I think you may be hullinating. Nikki says you always complain about not being involved in any group activities, but now you're talking about some imaginary "council?" And, for reasons the island cannot fathom, you're putting everything you say in "quotes?"

If you won't take me to this new station, perhaps Nikki will. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to follow your backtrail.

Laziness? No offense, Paulo, but all I've ever seen you do is hit golf balls around on the beach.

Wait, I'm lazy because I do chores? I've always believed that work builds character. Every job is important, in some way. As for the hatch, I really don't think you could understand why it's important. Granted, I don't fully understand it myself, but I have a very strong feeling that we need to keep pushing that button.

We are having a blast down at the beach. Sitting around the campfire telling Locke stories and roasting marshmallows with the flames from whatever he blew up that day.

Locke stories? I'm flattered! What's your favorite?

But what's this about me blowing stuff up?

"Backtrail? Well, good luck to you. Although if I were you I would ask Kate along rather than Michael.

No need to exclude anybody. Kate's a capable woman, I'd be glad to have both her and Michael on board. Kate? You around?

Narrator: It appears a bad case of anachronism-itis is going around. What else could explain the way people are talking about pushing buttons, or new stations, or watching videos? Certainly, at this point in your stay on the island, nothing like any of that has been experienced by any of you. And if by chance a couple of you have discovered something called a "Pearl," well, I'm pretty sure that information remains a closely-guarded secret! I know some of you like to talk about a "hatch" but of course you must be referring to that thing Locke is digging up. To speak of it like you know what's inside, well, that's just clearly a case of anachronism-itis. You may want to check yourselves for symptoms, just to be on the safe side!

Biting his lip briefly for a second, Jack puffed out his chest and straightened his back, angling himself around by half a turn to take Kate's gaze. Smiling with a sense of relief, he drew breath.

Kate looks at Jack, putting her hand on her hip. "Well, yeah, I was. Look, you know I'm always eager for a trek through the jungle, but why would I want to hang out with Locke and Sawyer? Locke's been acting creepy lately, ever since Boone died. He keeps sneaking off to the jungle, and the other day I caught him making some weird goopy stuff. And Sawyer..." She stops for a moment. "Well, I don't want to talk about Sawyer. In fact, I was thinking... why do you think Michael wants to take him on the raft? What does he know about boating?"Taking a swig from a bottle of water Jack listened intently to Kate, keeping his gaze fixed on her eyes. Speaking softly, he replied.

You know, Kate......between you and I.....

*quickly checks around to make sure no-one else is listening*

...Locke hasn't been himself the past few days..... I don't know what it is, but...there's just something. As for Sawyer..well him and Michael have become kinda close lately. Don't ask me why...it's not like they tell me anything anyway.

And what did you mean, "I don't want to talk about Sawyer"?, Kate. What has he done?

cinderellabop

12-26-07, 11:18 PM

Kate nods. "I know what you mean. I thought he was acting weird even before Boone died... I heard Shannon complaining that Boone kept going off into the jungle with Locke and wouldn't tell her what he was up to. And then all of a sudden, Boone gets killed and Locke's still keeping secrets... There's something not right there, Jack." At the mention of Sawyer's name, Kate has a sudden flashback from a few nights ago....

Sawyer and Kate were camping out, searching for the boar that had ripped apart Sawyer's tent. He took a sip out of a small bottle of whiskey, and told her that if she wanted a drink, she would have to play a drinking game with him.

At one point in the game, Sawyer said, "I've never been in love."

"You've never been in love?" Kate repeated, surprised.

"I ain't drinking, am I?" he replied.

Kate looked at him for another minute, then shrugged before taking a drink. Somehow, she wasn't sure she believed him. "I've never had a one night stand," she said.

Sawyer grinned and drank.

"Bottoms up, sailor," Kate said, laughing.

"I've gotta drink for each one."

"Your turn."

"I've never been married," Sawyer said, looking directly into her eyes.

Kate stared back, feeling strangely nervous. She found it was hard to meet his eyes, so she quickly looked away and began staring down at the ground as she took a tiny sip from her bottle. "It didn't last very long," she said.

Kate draws a shaky breath and looks up at Jack. She doesn't know why her talk with Sawyer had shaken her up so much. She is used to keeping secrets, and he'd managed to get her to open up a little. But she really wants to be telling her secrets to Jack instead. "It's... it's nothing," Kate says at last. "You know how Sawyer is... he's always hitting on me. I can handle it."

And so I walked over and said, "Hello Sun. I heard you husband dumped you and ran off with that hussy Michael. What's worse, I understand you had been hitting on Michael ever since you landed on the island. Seesh, you must feel like a loser with a capital L after getting ditched by both men in you life so they could run off with each other."

"My advice, cheer up, it could be worse. For example... well.... maybe... uhm... oh, never mind."

Apparently she has already forgotten that I was voted the King of the Craphole Island Debutante Ball Frogurt arranged last weekend. And of course Nikki was nearly unanimously voted the queen. Well, we can all guess which two voted for Kate, and which one voted for Claire. Poor Bernard, Rose was not at all happy she didn't get a single vote."

Still, with great popularity comes great responsibility, so I gamely plunged on with my attempt to some cheer to Sun.

"Yes, you know me -- I am Paulo. However, if it makes you more comfortable you may call me Sahib. Sooo... would you like me to introduce you to Artz? It really is no problem and it would cheer you up I think. After all, there is more than one fish in the sea and all that."

Hey everybody, check this out: I've been exploring out back behind the caves looking for Nikki and Paulo's backtrail, and I found a big wooden crate. It's got a symbol on it with an arrow, and the word "DHARMA." I got it open, and inside were about 50 hand radios. They look to be short-range only, but also have solar cells on them. They aren't strong enough to call for rescue, but as long as the mountain doesn't get in the way, we should be able to communicate with each other from almost anywhere on the island.

I'll leave them here at the beach camp, anyone that wants one can have one.

Hey are you the little floozy that has been flirting with Paulo?

No, that wasn't me flirting with Paulo. Sceve is my heart-throb. Besides (SBSSG wrinkles brow) I heard that Paulo was more interested in the guys. At least that's what that irritating man with the rash said. (SBSSG - blinks eyes really fast as realization dawns - with wide eyes - she blurts out) Does Paulo have a rash too?!

Kate looks at SBSSG, then at Jack. She could tell that Jack was feeling stressed out and was, as always, on the verge of tears.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Kate looks at SBSSG, then at Jack. She could tell that Jack was feeling stressed out and was, as always, on the verge of tears. Quickly, she spoke up, hoping to resolve the situation. "Um, Jack? Didn't you say something about gathering water from the caves and bringing it to the beach? Michael and Jin have been working so hard on the raft, and they really need to keep themselves hydrated. Also, I think someone needs to work on gathering reeds from the river to use as twine for the raft. Maybe you guys could split into teams and do that."

SBSSG stares quietly at Kate and then tersely replies, "Well, Kate maybe Jack meant for you to do those things. As always the rest of us will wait to hear what Jack wants us to do."

SBSSG folds arms and stands silently with the rest of the redshirts as they await direction from Jack.

Well that explains a lot.

I now understand what he meant when he said he was out looking for crabs.

Kate raises her eyebrows at SBSSG. "Look, maybe Jack doesn't want to be bothered with this kind of thing. He has a lot of issues on his mind, and he can't spend all of his time making sure that you guys have something to do."

Silly Kate! That's what a leader does. He leads. Jack has always told use what to do.

SBSSG grows suspicious and squinting her eyes asks

Hey, why are you butting in all of a sudden? We've been here several weeks now and you have never said anything before. Are you trying to take the leadership position away from Jack?

Kate shakes her head. "No, of course not," she says. "I'm just trying to help Jack. He has a lot of things on his mind, what with Boone's death and Claire giving birth, not to mention the work on the raft."

*takes off to find Sawyer to see if he has any cream for Paulo's rash*

With Nikki gone, Paulo braves emerging from the tree he has been hiding behind.

"Ahhh... SBSSG, ix-nay on the flirting, I don't want another coconut bounced off my head by you know who. Anyways, I see you've gathered up the wood for the signal fire as per Frogurt's instruction. Very good, very good."

Turning to Jack and Kate, "You know, you two slugs might try to involve yourselves in the activities of the group a bit more. It would go a long way towards making you more popular. Of course, you could never be as popular as me, that is obviously a ridiculous notion, but -- nothing ventured, nothing gained. If nothing else you might get off latrine duty if you tired a little harder to be of use."

Kate stares blankly at Paulo, then back at Jack. "Who is this guy, anyway?" she asks. "I've never seen him around before, and he makes no sense at all when he talks. Is he speaking Brazilian?"

Kate stares blankly at Paulo, then back at Jack. "Who is this guy, anyway?" she asks. "I've never seen him around before, and he makes no sense at all when he talks. Is he speaking Brazilian?" *smiles at Kate as if sharing an in-joke* I think he thinks he's famous or something. Maybe in Brazil...but not on this island, huh?

*speaking even more softly while still standing next to Kate* By the way, Kate....thanks for speaking up for me back there. You know...it really helps to feel I've got your support here. It's not easy being the one everyone looks to all the time *briefly touches Kate's arm with his hand*

*turns to face everyone else* Ok, great work on gathering the wood -- I couldn't have asked for any more from you guys.

Hmmm. The wood. Ok, what I'd really like you to do is arrange it all into piles, laid out on there beach over there. Group it all into sizes --- then we'll talk again about what we'll do with it all, ok?

*dabs eyes, which were becoming slightly moist during his conversation with Kate*

Kate smiles at Jack. "Yeah, don't worry about it," she whispered back. "I have your back, Jack." She feels herself get warm as he touches her arm, but then sees him dabbing at his eyes. When he's not looking, she shakes her head. Why Jack was chosen to be the leader instead of her is something she'll never understand.

"Ahhh... SBSSG, ix-nay on the flirting, I don't want another coconut bounced off my head by you know who. Anyways, I see you've gathered up the wood for the signal fire as per Frogurt's instruction. Very good, very good."
The SBSSG wrinkles her brow and thinks ... "flirting? What's he smoking?" Then she turns her attention to Jack.

Jack
Ok, great work on gathering the wood -- I couldn't have asked for any more from you guys.

Hmmm. The wood. Ok, what I'd really like you to do is arrange it all into piles, laid out on there beach over there. Group it all into sizes --- then we'll talk again about what we'll do with it all, ok?

SBSSG's eyes grow big. She turns to the other redshirts and says reverently, "Move the wood into different stacks." All the other redshirts start to smile as they nod agreement. Then they all start to move off toware the one stack of wood that is as tall as a tree -- about 24 feet wide and stretching off to the horizon as far as one can see -- happy to be following their leader's directions. As she passes Jack & Kate, the SBSSG sticks her tongue out at Kate and smugly walks away.
