Vitus- "You can just tell us what you told the last person. Or see if you can Jack- improve on your answer. No worries." "..."
Eli- "Umm, well, I haven't had a whole lot of misery in my life, you know, things have been okay. No one wants things to suck, but I guess some people might have a harder time with big changes. I'm pretty non-committal about... everything, so I guess I could deal if it went all post-apocalypse or whatever."
Eli- "I might be okay with this being a cult, but not a suicide cult, okay? That just defeats the whole purpose of getting paid. I just want to pay my bills and screw around on the internet, not drink bleach with the Celestial King and his slave entourage." Vitus- "Haha, ah, you're a character. Well, no worries about it being a cult! Most of us don't even Jack- like each other." "*Sigh* Good luck out there, Eli." Eli- "P-peace out, guys..."
He hurried away, considering stopping for a drink, but somehow imagined everything would taste like bleach... Jack- "He's gay. That was more fun info Vitus- before the suicide cult stuff." "Is it better or worse for him to be someone you could like?" "Damn, dude. That's rough... I'm not built for this kind of ethical dilemma." "Sorry."

Vitus- "Babette, Ru... We can be friendly, but I'd hate to abuse the word friendship that way..."
Jack- "Yeah. Well... Hello. Our night? Could be worse. Has been rece--"
Vitus- "It's the economy. Business, you know?"

She made a sympathetic face."Aw. Cheer up, Darling. I'm a foot-soldier in this economy. It's always bad or worse from my vantage point. That never stops me from enjoying a party. Does it, Ru?"

Ru- "...Your guests have not been the friendliest? I apologize for my friend's offenses if there are any. I am Ru Knight. I played the illustrious vampire in Lychgate... Oh, abuse of friendship? Is the word meaningful to you?" Ru looks like he's interested in waxing poetic on this subject, and settles down more comfortably besides the glum pair. "Why are such charming fellows so sad tonight?"

She leaned over and muttered,"Didn't you hear? They're sad because of business and the economy."

Vitus- "Erm, quite. Friendship is ... important enough one should not make light of it. But we can be friendly, right, Jack?"
Jack- "Indeed Vitus, maybe even friendful..."
Vitus- "So... Words. Questions. Yes. You're actors then?"
Jack- "They could be acting right now and we wouldn't even know it."

Ru- "Yes. I could be acting. But I'm not. For you. Today. We are indeed, but we run our ordinary lives like any other man and woman." Ru wasn't sure if they counted as an ordinary man or woman any other way, but decided this was probably irrelevant in the long run."I'm sure you have stranger questions. I like the idea of friendful."

"Oh. I can't handle stranger questions right now." She put her hand against her chest, over the heart. This must be a Babette signature move. "There have been too many lately." "Lychgate is our first movie. We met August during a film event. He recognized potential in Ru. I was hired because ... Chloe needed a sister." She poked Ru's arm. "I'm only a little bit jealous. Acting's always been my thing. We met in high school, see. I was the drama girl, and he was the ... what were you, Darling? Sensitive painter?"

Ru- "I think artist is a fine explanation. Babette has always wanted to be a famous and fabulous actor. I enjoy it but it's not my only interest. I'm something of a music aficionado...I enjoy art but I don't claim to be any kind of specialist in it... " Although its quality was good enough for sale, and could be considered professional, it's talent and scale could certainly be improved.

Vitus- "So many artists... and diverse too. The atelier I attended was just a small school of painters."
Jack- "I can draw a cat."
Vitus- "... No questions from us then? OK. Do you have any questions for us? Preferably not to do with... sad things."

"Sad ... why would we?" She tilted her head slightly, baffled. Somebody was morose! Could it be her fault? Was her smile broken again? Babette tried a little harder.
"What's your relationship? Business partners? You don't look like brothers. But I barely resemble mine, so who can really tell?" Could be step brothers, too. Families were eclectic.
Or ... perhaps they were ... friends?!
"I'd also like to hear about your atelier. That sounds lovely. What did you do there? How is it different from school school?" She imagined a peaceful little colony of youthful artists working in a garden. There were harp players and fountains. Honestly, Babette was not one hundred percent certain what an atelier was.

Ru- "What do you do for a living? And why would you be interested in backing a little project like this?" There was a certain moroseness to both of the men that spoke of a recent tragedy of some kind. He was not close enough to ask what it was, but something on the edge of his mind had bothered him. The people here, were they connected by a common web of tragedy? A number had acted...strange."I don't gravitate towards sad projects. I think you see so many artists here just because of the kind of person August is. He's responsible for most of...this..."

((fun sparklez)) Vitus- "Just friends. We've both done work for Miss Sombreta over there... Hm. A classic atelier is to a multidisciplinary art school as a tiny rural schoolhouse is to a university. It just has more cachet for being expensive. Sorry... Feel like I'm the only person from an upper class background in the conversation, and don't feel great about it."
Jack- "I can draw a cat."
Vitus- "... For a living? Oh. I'm a researcher, and Jack is a promoter."
Jack- "I wouldn't say August is responsible for this. You'll want to blame Marchese later."
Vitus- "...for this weird party, am I right? So awkward. Heh."
