hey. watch it. ur the one pointing out that hope dying could benefit u. again idk u and i sure as shit dont trust u. acting like a shady bitch isnt a great way to do business. are u retaining anything im saying? u have to kill urself and someone else to make this happen. ur soul and then a sacrifice have to go into the thing. and thats just the startup cost. btw no. creating a phylactery doesnt do shit to keep u alive. its not life. hanging on like that isnt living. eventually u lose touch and ur not even u anymore. just some evil thing hellbent on death and destruction. u shouldnt mess w. this kind of magic when u clearly dont know what ur getting urself into. imagine me saying that in the kindest way possible. u dont want this.
never has her name field been more appropriate than in this post...
( It would be easier, sometimes, if Kate's anger exploded, if she threw things at the wall and screamed to calm herself down. Unfortunately, it's the kind of thing which freezes cold, her responses unnervingly calm when spoken and simply stubborn in text.
(Of course, it would be easiest if she could actually process emotions sensibly and react well, but let's not go crazy here.) )
Hope being dead doesn't benefit me. Just stupid to forget that he's a big target for the Null.
( She's arguing this simply because the rest is leaving a hollow feeling in her gut and having something to bitch over is better than the ache which comes from months of stressing over this problem, thinking you finally have a solution, and hearing that it's possibly worse than letting your friend die. The killing is one thing - whether its herself or someone else - but the consequences for Carlisle are far more than he deserves.
She has to find a way to save him and she's running out of time to do so. )
Useless if it's not going to keep someone alive as is.
[Harlan spends a long moment just squinting at his phone. He backreads their conversation, just in case he's fucked something up here and he's leaning too hard on the Hope thing. But, nope, she brought it up and her intentions have been nebulous ever since. What...?
Ugh. Whatever. She said it doesn't benefit her, so he'll drop it. This exchange has been frustrating enough without this added confusion.]
this is why its important to do ur hw. i get that this type of magic prob isnt familiar to u but obvs it is to plenty of ppl here. next time try asking for more info instead of skipping steps and then getting pissed when ppl freak out on u. u see why this kind of q is scary now? anyway idk what ur up to and idk that much abt this kind of shit but id rather u fuck around w. bs magic as safely as possible. if theres other shit ur curious abt lmk.
( Don't worry about it, dude. Talking to Kate is an exercise in frustration at the best of times. Talking to Kate when she's in this sort of mood, equal parts desperate and tired of her own shortcomings as someone who should be saving and protecting her friends, is... well, you can probably get nominated for sainthood for that? )
Great.
( Read: thank you, from someone too petulant to actually type the words out. )
Not going to bother with learning magic any time soon.
( Which, knowing Kate, is probably a premature statement. But she's coming down off the worst of her frustration and just tired now. Tired of trying to think of something that will save Carlisle, tired of his condition coming to her in the dead of night, just as she's about to doze off. )
[YEAH... He's learning this. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the patience for this rude bullshit. He has no reason to try to read between the lines, so...]

( She knows. Especially since she'd be no better off than anyone else even if she did get this information.
Take anyone down with her, as a result, takes on a different meaning to Kate than what Harlan probably means. )
Don't plan on taking them down. Isn't the point of this shit to keep someone alive?
