Jack led Quinn to a sparser spot on the dance floor, within line of sight of the others, but far enough to give a semblance of privacy. They caught a glimpse of Wilhelm, who shot them a grandpa finger gun, and disappeared further into the crowd. True to his word, Jack took Quinn's hand and stood the law enforced crotch distance away. Jack- "I'll totally let you guys go hide out after this. I'm not gonna be the bitchy character in the movie who forces the wallflowers to shake their things for everyone's delight. So, how's it going?"

He draped his hands comfortably on Jack's shoulders."Better than expected given the circumstances." He shrugged one shoulder and let it drop."Bit of a muff at this whole 'child of the night' lark. Already managed to fall off a wall and into some deck furniture, but overall death doesn't seem too...deathly, I suppose. I'll get the hang of it...how long did it take you? To get the hang of it, I mean."

In Augustractos, "Spoilsports! Ya gotta use all ya dance floor!" "Chloë, my lady? Shall we tear this floor up like a koala in a gumnut shop?"

Jack- "Well honestly, I'm only like a week older than you guys, so I don't know if I've gotten the hang of it myself. Vitus didn't know what to do with me so I got the whole training montage crap all week though. It's still pretty weird but I guess if you're just soaking in the whole thing 24/7 it might go faster than you think."
Jack- "There's always gonna be creepy stuff though, so just be prepared for that. The progenitors are total freaks and if you can avoid it, try to not hang out with them. Like, ever."
Jack- "Sooo I've heard you guys don't get blood by, uh, sex. That's nice. It's way too much work, lemme tell ya. So you didn't like clubbing or dancing, what were you into?"

Babette winked at August and Chloe. Then, she scanned the other dancers, the living ones.
"Ru. Look at them all. Burning like fire on the wick. So bright, I cannot tell one person from the other. Age, beauty, physical quirks ... all is concealed by the mortal heat. It's wonderful. We've lost their lustre. But at least we can truly appreciate life. Now. That. We're. Dead." She was lost in thought for a moment.
"August may be the cutest vampire in the world. But I can't believe he just used the word M'lady."

Ru- "Uh, well, August is a really nice guy, maybe he's showing Chloe his...nice guy side. She does look like a very tiny Ms Knight." Ru contemplates the mystery of all of that, and then looks at the warm bodies. "Honestly, Babette, you seem to enjoy being a vampire a lot, you were always worried about getting old. And you did spend a lot of time contemplating undeath and demon boyfriends." Ru seemed to be pointing out the bright side of all of this.

Chloë- "You know it!" Everyone boogied up in the club, among the wavering glow of human body heat, and colored lighting. Humans whispered giggly comments about the funky moves, but no one cared about their crappy mortal styles. Then, someone sprang out from a group of taller fireballs, and pointed at the larger group. Thierry- "Do NOT tell me someone dropped you lot off here to make my life miserable. Master Thierry ain't teaching you shit."
Thierry- "Oh. Hey ladies, how's it going tonight?"

Quinn pitched his voice a little lower for a smidgeon of privacy."I've noticed, to be honest. My...grandfather, I suppose?...there's something about him that puts me off just a smidgeon. Luckily, Santi, Wilhelm and August always seem to be around and he doesn't seem overly interested in me. So, there's that..." Jack- "Yeah, that's very good. I feel bad for anyone who the progenitors are interested in."
"Work, mostly. Well, work and music and August's bloody film. I used to be a lounge pianist at a hotel. Always been a bit of a bookworm, me. What about you? You're almost as 'fresh' as us lot, so what was it like for you before...?" He really hoped he wasn't overstepping his boundaries. The other vampires seemed uncomfortable with talking about whatever came before all this. Jack- "Oh man, for me? Boring boring. I was a medical clerk, made enough money to almost afford to live with a roommate. Been trying to be a good boy for the past few years. And look where it got me? Ha. Actually, being a bad kid was what got me here, but what can you do? I've got to say, it's been exciting at least. What do you think, is excitement and immortality worth it? Do you think you'd have gone for it if someone asked you?"

"Master Thierry. Dreadful news. We're dead. But other than that, tonight has been lovely. Say, where can a lady order a cup of O negative around this place?"

Ru- "Nice to see you too, Thierry. I thought we were friends. I would have brought an album or two of Blood Serpent Sisters if I knew we were going to visit this place." Did Ru sound...sassy?"

"Order? Blood? Don't be a duffer, Babs." "We're just here to have a good time, hambalos! Wilhelm's looking out for us. Nice club, has a lot of… character. Really bombaroo!"

Ru- "I think you could just pick one of these guys, Babette. You have a whole sea of them." Ru wasn't impressed by 12 year old Thierry and his attempts to be seductive and cool. "Or even the guys outside hanging around. They're no danger to you anymore." Ru peeled himself off Babette. He hadn't wanted to come here anyways, and being harassed didn't exactly sweeten the deal. He didn't even get to use hypno eyes. "I think I'm ready to leave with Wilhelm..."
