At the Greyburn Cathedral, there had been a shuffling, putting Trileon in Darren's
spot and Darren in Ru's, as the little guy went with the movie crew elsewhere. Leo
seemed more or less past the acrimony and was very happy to see and chat with Eli.
At length, these guys pulled their cars through an alley, brushing underneath a hanging
tarp and disappearing from view. The alley ramped down and went to a small loading
dock on the right. Cars parked, they came out into a space lit only by a the heatlight
of their cars and a few heavily filtered rays of moon.
Eli-
"Well, that's good and spooky...
Or at least spooky."
Vitus-
"Feeling uncomfortable? Invitation shouldn't be affecting you yet.
This garage is wide open, and if the building was operational, would
probably remain open during business hours. But such isn't the case
now, so are you considered welcome here? And who is judging these
things anyhow? God? Dorein? I don't know...
But you all are welcome here. That, coming from anyone who is
welcome here - vampire or human, counts as invitation. And once
you've been invited just one time, you can use that forever... As far
as I know."
Cameron-
"Can you repeat all of that?"
Vitus-
"Probably not."
Eli-
"Yeah that was confusing, but maybe it will make
sense later... So uh, why the spooksome location?"
Vitus-
"It isn't that bad, is it?"
Trevor-
Trevor thought it was so darling how
ever-reticent Vitus was playing leader.
The crew went to an elevator - apparently in working order, though the only
illumination inside looked like emergency lights. Leo shuffled close to Eli in
the elevator, deciding to remain quiet.
Eli-
"So... martial arts? What else are we doing?"
Vitus-
"Well, I don't know if we'll do much sparring, would prefer to focus
on powers. Shadows, movement, transformation, hopefully nothing
too blood burning. Some powers use up your blood like a runner
uses spaghetti."
Trileon-
"Oh, actually, Babette and I can do this weird illusion thing.
Well moreso Babette.. I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.
Could you help with that?"
Vitus-
"'Fraid not, it's a Greyburn thing. Darren?"
Darren-
"...nuh."
Eli-
"What are you guys talking about?
Did they all get cool skills or something?"
Trileon-
"I know Ellen can do it to, and Aubrey too. Most likely
so can Helen. The second I get it down I'm putting you in
a giant rabbit suit."
Eli-
"While I appreciate the imagery, I have no idea what you're
talking about. I guess you may as well just show me."
Trileon-
"I said I can't do it yet, nancy boy! You want some of this?"
Trevor-
Trevor took an elbow to the head in
the cramped space without complaint.
Cameron-
"I can make my thumb pop off and put it back on again."
Eli-
"Dang dude, before we get into that biz we need to have helmets
and like... mouth... guard... things. You're cool, but I'm not joining
your knife gang or bare-knuckle boxing circuit or whatever you've got going on.."
Leo jabbed a finger at Eli's face.
Trileon-
"I'll show you bare knuckle somethin' somethin'.. You'll see..."
She concentrated on making a pair of rabbit ears pop up from the top
of his head, to no avail. This training session better pay off, dammit!
Trileon-
"Hrm.. So, how's it goin'? Well, I guess I don't
need to ask. Your shirt speaks for itself."
Eli-
"Pft, yeah, it's not my finest sartorial moment.
But it's alright... Good as can be expected I guess."
Eli-
"How about you? Guess you're sassy
enough, must mean something good."
Trileon-
"Just happy to see you, and Sophie, and Carrothead..."
Vitus-
"Er, let's try to play nice now."
Cameron-
"I think they're just playing around, man."
Sophie-
"..."
Darren-
"*siigh*"
Courtney-
"Don't sigh yourself out, Darren. You want to
grow up to be a cool vampire now, don't you?"
Vitus-
"...Slow elevator, huh?"
"Let me tell you some shit my friend..."
As the elevator ascended, Leo went on to tell Eli her epic tale of how
she rescued Babette from Aubrey's evil clutches! She left out the part
about how she had to make up some poetic bullshit on the fly. Leo
ain't no softie.
"..So then Aubrey was like 'I've got clothes for you'
and.." She gestured to her clothes. "..Yeah."
Eli-
"Damn dude, that's freaky as hell!"
Eli-
"Well I'm really glad you guys can look out for each other.
Even if it means these interesting fashion choices."
Trileon-
"Thanks bro. And now ya know." Once the
doors were opened, she was out in a flash.
The doors opened on dark hall, dappled with thin light from outside, mixed with the light
following them out of the elevator. As the last person stepped out, the elevator closed,
leaving them in cooler tones. Everyone's eyes glinted like animals, collecting and
concentrating the scant photons in the back of their orbs.
