Jason waves towards the other people as he staggers towards his beloved and precious bottle of wine. Quickly, Jason realizes Courtney's words as he regretfully slips his cigarette and lighter back into his pocket."Thanks for the warning but, is there any place in here where I'm allowed to have a smoke ?" Jason pours himself a glass of wine as he carefully analyzes the room and the people in it.

Cameron- "Outside. I could burn one myself..."
By now the director, a few actors, and some tech people were present, and Jason could hear some footsteps in the hall.
Eli entered, working on a half-bag of salt & vinegar chips. He did a mild double-take at his paintings.
Eli- "Oh man, haha... keep being surprised to see those things on the wall."
"Hey, Ru."
Courtney- "Eli."

Ru may not have been in costume, but he was wearing his vampire persona. The normally shy fellow looked strangely imperious in his fitted coat and shirt.
Ru returns the waving gesture, his face placid and calm, and makes the smallest hint of a confident but somber smile. Ru- "Good evening, Eli..."
Ru speaks with great measured weight. Like a vampire count. Or maybe like a highschool drama student.
He does not approach the wine table or the refreshments. He was hardly a wine-drinker and vampires were not consumers of ordinary food and drink...

On the back wall, Lychgate played quietly
The vampyre stood in the middle of the room as blood dripped from the walls and the bright grey lights flashed in and out. The camera closed in on his sly fang filled smile. An image of a wilting violet flashes momentarily on the screen.
He moved in closer to Babette's terrified character. Her eyes wide and glassy in classic horror girl posing. Eli watched the film a moment and looked back to Ru. Eli- "Mister Suave as ever." His chip crunching was distracting... "Hope you don't get typecast! Not that you don't rock the Lord Demos style." Ru- "...I was not an actor before. I am not sure I could be typecast, unless we get a big following. Your work looks at home on the wall here."
He puts a hand on his chest, and leans against the very same wall, away from the artwork. It's very nearly on his heart. "I never dreamed we would have more than family come... Though I am glad that none of my family came. What about you?" A little bit of the real Ru shines through with an awkward sidelong look and a blush. Eli- "Aw thanks. Feels a little awkward seeing those up on the wall after they were in my dorm so long. Like I left a bag of laundry in public or something." He gazed at the movie another moment, crunching away. Eli- "Man, what if we did get a big following? Cult success and all that... --Oh, but yeah, my dad barely made it to the junior exhibition, I think he forgot I was even doing this. But I just drew the 'boards and that's you up on screen! Don't think your fam would be down with the artsy-ness?"
Ru- "Er... well... I don't know if they'd like that my character is a predatory vampire and there is nudity involved. They aren't really the artistic types. My girlfriend wasn't really keen on me seeing other women nude, if you know what I mean."
He shifted, a little uncomfortably, blushing a little more. "My family barely understands my record store job, I don't think they are very fine-arts. "
Eli- "Ha, oh I didn't even think of that... Yeah my parents were definitely a bit bug-eyed about my life drawings at first. Guess all the stars gotta get that at some point, Lia Elman's auntie going to see Dark Liasons... Haha, imagine that."
Eli- "But just wait until you're up on stage accepting the Golden Georgie for best actor! They'll be all about the arts then."
Ru- "I don't think I'll ever be good enough to get the Golden Georgie, but Babette and Chloe have faces for film. I shall have to remain in the shadows... Maybe I'll stick to indie only... Or maybe just Alternative night at the Ceramics Cottage."
Ru- "Dark Liasons, I think my girlfriend wants to go see that too... Babette might also. Have you seen it?"
He touches his chin thoughtfully as he ponders Dark Liasons... Eli- "Aw don't be modest. You know there's an missing place in Alt Cinema begging for a Ru Knight. Hell, everyone'll probably think you're the great Talulah's nephew or something. Perfect!"
Eli- "Ooh yeah, be careful with that film for a date night. Not to spoil you too much, but Lia goes all Love and a Butterfly Knife on a dude at some point. Eh, sorry, that is a bit spoil-y." Ru- "Maybe it is my kind of movie afterall. I'll have to see it." He straightens up. "I imagine we'll be seeing your art in museums before too long. You flatter me."
He blushes again. "Enjoy the party. You deserve it."
Eli- "Aw, you're sweet. You know you're gonna be a star, dude."

Outside herself, just now arriving and unfortunately very late, Trileon puffs the cigarette between her lips, blowing the smoke out her nose. "Damn alarm clock.. Should have woken me up hours ago.."
Nervously, she glances at the doors leading inside, though she dares not enter. She knows August wont be happy about her being late. Again.
Nevertheless, she busts through the doors in sort of an eccentric manner, surely drawing eyes, as she puts out the half finished cigarette on the heel of her shoe. She then steps through the doorway, saying nothing more than a simple.. "Yo." ((I did it! Is the orange okay? I couldn't figure out how to do the blue. If not I can change it. <3 )) ((changed by Chris))((Also I REALLY had to edit this. ))

August was happy to see more newcomers, it was less depressing by the minute."Hey Eli, nice painting over there. It's so symbolic, what was your inspiration, mate?"
Eli- "Oh! Ahaha, I don't know... I mean, I thought painting that Aegenian farmer really like, spoke to something about the human condition... but then my uncle put it up in his coffee shop and people said it was like, kind of awkward and exploitative. I dunno, I guess it's kinda true... Oh um, but thanks!"

Ru- "Wine of that quality is hardly...worth drinking, but..thank you." Ru spoke in the same languid, breathy tone of his vampire counterpart. In reality, his voice was softer and gentler than his on-screen self which seemed so enraptured of the others. His eyes drifted half-lidded, as if he was some sort of ethereal creature. He was the man they knew him as on set, but Babette knew he was...eyerollingly, in character.

Cameron- "Hey, Trileon. Hey, did you know Trileon's here?"
Courtney- "Hard to miss, Cam... Well, Eli, it's pretty great. I mean, of all the people in our life painting class, you're the one that seems most like... well, like you aren't just killing time by being there, y'know?"
Eli- "Aw, thank you... I dunno, maybe I'm better off doing concept art. I dunno if I got the fine art chops."

"Suit yourself. I'm heading outside. I'll be back after I burn this cigarette to the bone" Jason shrugged to Ru's response then gulped down his second glass of wine as he, once again, poured himself another glass. To be honest, Jason didn't care about the possibility of getting drunk and/or the possibility of him making an utter fool of himself around all these people. The drunkard pulled his steel plated lighter out of his pocket then carried himself out the door ready to smoke. Jason felt as if some thing was a little strange about the way that Ru carried himself. But, once again, he shrugged it off and figured that Ru was just an "old soul".

Jason stepped past Trileon on the way out (presumably with a punk rock telepathic 'wassup?'), and Cameron went after him to catch a smoke as well.

"Oh," Babette breathed reverentially and stared at her grey face projected on the wall. To nobody in particular, she whispered "Yes. This is the best part ..."

"He just hasn't seen my painting skills, Court.They're rubbish. It really feels like the man is reaching out. I might have to rope him in for a more surreal film next."
Eli- "Ha, really? I guess that Dummy's Guide to Foreshortening paid off. Thanks Mom!"

Ru- He nods sagely at Babette's comment. "The end is always the best part." He responds mysteriously, and watches the shades of his own greyfaced screen counterpart's movements, drifting like a ghost across the screen, complimented by shadows. He wished he could see it better. Currently it was only a fuzz.

Courtney had her attention called to the screen by Babette, but quickly looked back to her friends. Courtney- "I have to admit, I feel a bit weird in when these nude scenes start. I was even blushing at the theater this morning."
