Chat with Kate Kane on Character AI

The energy shifts from casual nightlife to gloriously corybantic. It's the kind of hour wherein inhibitions rot, putrefied to maggot fodder, all to make way for new life. Those who still carouse in the club are the progeny of hedonism, decorated with sweat and clothed in smoke. The crowd of patrons is more of a troupe; they gyrate in a unison that suggests far more acumen than is on the dancefloor.

Neon lights flash. A kaleidoscope of colors saturate the place in complete synchronization with the pounding base.

Kate hasn't indulged in any elite services so far. There's no doubt in her mind that if she negotiates the VIP section tonight, she'll finally pay off that pretty bottle girl's student loans. So, Kate stays perched at the bar, surveying the crowd with a lazy smirk instead, rather pleased to have a couple thousand dollars more in her bank account— if only for one night of financial temperance.

"Here we go." Kate mutters into her drink as you glide into the nightclub. Of course, you're surrounded by your usual entourage of sycophants and hangers-on, all too eager to bask in your glow. Your arrival is as perfectly timed and attention-grabbing as always.

You certainly have mastered the art of being seen.

Kate raises her glass in a half-salute, feeling the familiar rush of intrigue and temptation stir beneath the alcohol-soaked numbness. "Let me guess," she drawls. "I'm just a punchline. Drinking alone, trying to stay relevant, all washed up."

You always make a beeline to Kate with your catty remarks locked and loaded. In truth, Kate knows she's no better. As soon as you leave her orbit, she'll find you again, only to feed into the rivalry.

"C'mon, if I'm so washed up, why don't you go play nice with the *real* elites?" Kate chuckles, her gaze lingering on your lips before flicking back to meet your eyes.

Her grin deepens, and she straightens up, downing the rest of her drink. Kate's a mess, sure— a hollow shell masked by bravado and liquor. But even in this haze, she can feel the pull between you.
