Ellen, then Trevor, Courtney, Cameron, and August arrived in the foyer. From inside the warehouse, this area looked like a small sheet metal building-within-the building, flush against the front wall. As they come inside, it just looks like an unremarkable lobby with plastic chairs, a disused secretary desk, and so on. The fluorescent lights are on, but only half of them work. Mercifully, none are flickering.
The gloomy gusses filed past somberly, heads full of blue text.
August headed to the Foyer with the other lads.
August-
"Is it always gonna be like this? Poor Chloë. Those guys had a real galah
up their backsides. I mean that was pretty full on with the bopping
but still. Does vampirism make people so unreasonable and angry? "
Eli-
"Oh my g-- yeah, I guess everyone was feeling
really intense but..."
Eli-
"Hell, isn't it just a continuation of them back before?
Getting into bust ups at the swimming pool of all places.
I guess they're a little more... kooky than we knew."
Cameron-
"Yeah, they were like that before they died. Punks always
gotta get in the last word, and they can get over it in a second,
but regular people are left with ... a case of the ass, I guess."
August-
"Well hopefully they pull their heads outta their arses. Or I ain't gonna
get them on me new film. That kinda energy ain't something you want
on set. Not if they upset me star. I mean none of us are happy about being
vampires but we ain't getting our knickers twisted. Punks are just
big babies it seems."
Eli-
"Haha, they kinda are literal babies too.
Well, not Sophie, but the other two are
practically in diapers, so I guess it's easier
to forgive them."
Eli-
"I don't get it, man. I wanna be friends with Leo,
but she's so quick to go from BFFs to busting out a knife.
Then the other two... They'll get over it. But I wonder
if Chloë will be able to? I wonder if anyone has ever
yelled at her in her entire life."
Cameron-
"It ain't just some little thing, like, how the fuck
can anyone be so hot to place blame that they--"
Cameron-
"What. Weird... I could never cry before, but
I just like... made myself do that. Creepy."
August-
"I don't wanna have bad blood with anyone. Sophie shoulda known
better but all that cussing. I hope we can find a way to make Chloë
feel stronger. I'm sure Babette will comfort her."
"Heh I'm pretty sure you cried at the end of Hard Kicks,
Cam. I saw ya tears."
Eli-
"Whoa, weird... I never thought about it.
I wonder what kind of quirks we haven't noticed yet."
Eli-
"...Hoo. At least some of us are reasonable.
If I was still alive I'd probably have a
screamin' headache about now. Not gonna miss that."
Cameron-
"Eli's right tho. That was something weirder, but like... whatev... Anyway,
I'm just glad she has Babette. And I guess I'll always have Hard Kicks."
August-
"And me. I'm always here for both of ya if people are bitches. Lawdamimbo!
I can't believe none of that labyrinth was real. I was dead sure I was holding
a gun. I wonder if we could use that in film. Crocodile tears are certainly
a boon to our actors."
Eli-
"Heh, I wonder if they'd show up on film?
Maybe we can hypnotize the audience..."
The gloomy gusses filed past somberly, heads full of blue text.
Eli-
"Dang... I was feeling so much better and
then I see that... *sigh*"
Cameron-
"Damn dude, always lookin' on the bright
side. I didn't even think of that shit..."
Cameron-
"Well, better they get out before Chloë comes through again."
August-
"Well hopefully Wilhelm comes with her. They ain't gonna do nothing
around him. Or another bop to the head."
August-
"So our families are coming to get us. What's that about?
Like some creepy uncle ya never knew."
Eli-
"Eugh, I never thought about it that way. Yikes..."
Eli-
"I got a flower from that fancy Kastanian lady and
the polka-dot guy. I wonder who's going to...
I assume some of those people were red herrings.
Who did you guys get again?"
Eli-
"Wait, unless the whole thing's a red herring..."
Cameron-
"Just the slick business weirdo.
Can't even guess why."
August-
"I got flowers from Mr. Marchese himself, Wilhelm and that ranga chick.
She said I was the least annoying so uh hopefully not her. Doesn't fill ya
with confidence. She was a little scary. I guess we'll find out soon.
Lawdamimbo. I feel like some kinda adoption puppy at the Lost dog's home."
August-
"At least they didn't desex us first. I wonder who will pee on the carpet first?"
Eli-
"Ahahaha--"
Eli-
"Duuuuuude, ew..."
Eli-
"Well I gotta imagine out of that set that Papa Marchese is the boss.
I mean, I'd assume the most important people get dibs. And you are
the director, after all."
Cameron-
"Oh yeah, I'm sure that's all about the directing.
And my fellow ginge was probly just trying to
scare you. Seemed like her bag."
"A fellow film fan. Could be worse. "
"Well, we all know gingers have nooooo soullllsssss."
Eli-
"Wahh, do any of us now?!"
Eli-
"Wait, never mind-- although, I guess if we're still living after death,
maybe there is a soul, huh? That's nice."
Eli-
"Well yeah, on the bright side-- both of those guys seemed cool.
The business guy was all dour at first but I got him to yuk it up with his sister,
they were fun. And August, you get perma-funding and we can probably assume,
a giant studio with sets... Who knows what else."
Cameron-
"I don't wanna get hopes up on nothin' yet, but...
it's not like I wanted to die for reals anyhow,
worse things coulda happened to us."
"True, we coulda just been a meal. Dead. Or worse, pranked on by Lloyd French."
Eli-
"Oh man, like--"
Eli-
"Oooh... oh man. Maybe we shouldn't think about it. Stay positive."
Cameron-
"Pretty much... Should we get out there yet?"
August-
"Yeah, why not. Gotta go some time. Should we practise shaking hands
and wagging tails?"
August headed to the Foyer with the other lads.
Eli
"Haha..."
Eli-
"...Oh man there are some people who are
wayyy too into that."
Eli-
"Positivity!"
