"Brides? Eugh. No. Fuck no! Why did you have to say brides? I'd rather be a slave. Elsinor P. Spot was wrong about ... well, everything, but especially vampires. Wait. Splendid. I have another idea." She closed her eyes and spoke in a deep, dramatic voice.
"Hear me! Hear me! I summon writhing ectoplasmic spirits from the burning ether. Poltergeists, we implore thee! Cross the great divide and release us from these crude shackles!" She waited. Nothing."That was embarrassing. Sorry, Love." ((OOC for Jara: This is how Elsinor P. Spot is described in the Kingfisher comic = "Elsinor wrote a few books in the gothy gay vampire genre about twenty years ago, gaining fame early in life. It really was just a phase though, and she grew into tastes that suited her better - organized sports fandom and the doo-wop stylings of Guy Bopper."))

Ru- "I think, at least in my case, it's a bride. A man-bride, like in the Lord Demos book. Not even dignified enough to be the poor hypnotized servant-man." He sighs, and leans back. He seems to have given up struggling for now. Being a vampire wasn't very glamorous at all. He had never read much vampire literature but he at least had the impression there was something dark and romantic about them from films and books.
He had to say there wasn't much glamorous about being a slave to an old vampire. Maybe it was better than being dead-dead. Maybe.
Ru wished he could tell his parents he was alive today. Sort of.

"I won't allow that. You're MY entourage." Babette observed the soft glow radiating from Ru's body, and then she scanned the vaguely illuminated room.
"Maybe we're too pessimistic. Look, somebody made my death bed pretty with flowers. It's ... considerate, right? Not evil."

Ru- "...Of course Babette. Thank you. You're not grateful for the times that people thought we were a couple, but I am." Ru tried to smile. He'd keep his realism away with optimism for now. Where were the others? Were they in other rooms? Were they dead dead? He imagined if he was alive, they were alive, since he had received the weakest praise and as many flowers as all of them did.
They were there somewhere, and maybe someone who had more courage and ambition than he did would escape and go back and find a way to cure them.
He wasn't sure if someone could be cured if they were dead, but maybe the tiny flame of optimism could keep burning.
He could live off of animal blood from factories and live a normal life with people and do art and go back to being as mundane as he ever was and no one would know the difference.

Ru- "...You had your hair under the beret, and I was reading Love in Spring's Night sitting against the wall, while you were walking down the hall, talking to Amy Lenninger, and you tripped right over my legs and landed in my lap, and put a heel through Love in Spring's Night somehow." "Then you said 'I think I fell for you.' And it was really awkward because you were on my lap, and you pushed my hair out of my face like in the movies." "Shortly thereafter, you added 'also my ankle really hurts' and started crying, and I spent Free Period in the Nurse's Office with you, with half of Love in Spring's Night and your boyfriend."

Babette wished she could put a hand over her heart. "C'est très romantique! My only regret is the beret. That ugly thing. What was I thinking? Hah. Let's find the silver lining now. Death becomes us, right? This must be destiny." She suddenly scowled."I'm hungry. I'm huuungry. Anybody? Can you hear me? Let us go! We'll behave!"

Ru- "The most romantic. Speaking of romance, I hope August is alright. He has...many admirers." Ru was beginning to think that wasn't a great thing. What did they do? All share drinking his blood or something? Well probably worse since whatever here happened. He didn't want to think about it. "...I am...not that hungry. I will behave though." He was right about the second one, he would behave.

"Maybe the others will hear us. If we survived, they survived. SOPHIE! SOPHIE! SOPHIE, HELP!" She waited a moment.
"ELI!" Nothing.
"LEO! JASON! QUINN!" No response.
"Ru. Ru, you're so good at reading people. The ... the ... the monsters we met tonight. Who was kind? Who might help us, if they hear a scream?"

Ru- "Anyone who was sad and not lustful when they gave anyone their flowers... Chloe, Ellen, Santi, Vitus, Jack... Some of the others, like Helen were kind, but didn't seem regretful... The lusty ones wanted us to change, they'll be no help."

"Chloe is not well. Santi's just a boy. I think. The others - I'll try the others." "Ellen! Vitus! Jack! Please, help us! We're still ... can I say alive? We're still conscious! Please, please, pleeease help! We're begging you!" "Darling. What am I doing? They're all monsters. Screams mean nothing. Oh, Ru. We're stuck here, aren't we? At least it's not the morgue."

Ru- "Yeah. For now. Listen, if we resist too hard, we're weak now." Ru shakes his head. "The cruel ones won't appreciate it at all, they'll be annoyed and they can do whatever they feel like. The nicer ones who made this choice will still be annoyed if you act resistant." Ru felt like a sellout. He was just going to roll over and let the old vampire and Babette's creepy fanboy gang do whatever they wished. How pathetic. Was he really that cowardly inside? "We don't have any powers and they obviously do. The best thing to do is either to try to escape so that they can't find us again at a good time, or to bide our time and wait until a good time to attack. I don't think being openly rebellious will work."

"Resist? Rebel? Never. We are fortunate beyond words. These generous lords gave us un-life." She winked at him.

Ru- "Being a vampire is great for my complexion. Oh Lord Oldman Demos, what can I do for you?" Ru was amused. Bitter, but amused. If they seemed complacent at first then they'd be let out.
If they seemed grateful and interested they'd get more freedom faster.
He hoped one of the nice ones chose Babette.... Did they all fight over her in vampire combat?
What did vampire combat even look like?
He wondered.
He had a creepy old man to look forward to, himself.

"That's the spirit. Heheh. Such spirit. Oh, damn. It's that movie. That bloody movie. It attracted the vampires. I'm sure." She ran her tongue over her teeth. Where were the pointies?
"I'm not pointing fingers, but this is all August's fault."
