Ru- "I know. What is it Cam? You're holding onto something. It's ok if you don't think I want to hear it." Ru's somber face split into a slight smile, and he rested a hand on Cameron's arm. He had never been very into people of either gender, but he'd never had much of a physical barrier or handle on other people's space either. It was a curious conundrum. "Just talk to me. We're here together."

Cameron, like many Glennish folk, seemed a little hesitant or reserved about physical contact, but tried to not seem like a jerk and accepted it. Cameron- "OK... Ugh, this gets harder as the day gets going. Shit I can't see the sun at all in here, but I know it's out there." Ru felt it too. "I can't help feel like this isn't going to last. It seems to outrageous, too bizarre. Not just for us, but as far as I can tell, it's weird for the older vampires too. That is the thing that has me worried. What can it mean if things are changing for them for the first time in a hundred or more years? Ugh... By the time I'm done talkin' the words sound like gibberish. Did that make sense?"

Ru- "I know, I felt it when I was there. I'm not sure what they felt, or what's going to happen, but... I am a little worried too. At the same time, I think it will end up alright, at least for us. I'm not sure what will happen to them... I hope Demetri ends up being alright, he's done a lot to try to help us." Ru seems, at worst, very sincere about that, and puts his hands on his waist and leans back against the wall.

Cameron- "...Maybe. Right now, he's... like, he's reacting to what Dragomir wants. What will Demetri do when he starts to... do what he wants? I don't know... He's, like, a business guy... Will we be executive assistants 'of The Night'? ... Damn, well, I need some sleep, man..."
((Skip ahead to gettin picked up for Gaston-Louis training night? Skull and DeeK should be ready before much longer.))

((Sure thing, Chris)) Ru- "Business executives of the night doesn't sound too bad. We can start a record company, like 'Swan Records' or something like that, with a really morbid motif..." Ru trails on happily.

Cameron mentioned that Courtney would totally be into that, but mostly let himself be talked to sleep laying on the couch...
The next morning they woke up without too much Dragomir in the grits, and were fortunate to slip out the front door with only one short creepversation. Demetri let Cameron take his new fake driver's license out for a spin in a deep green antique roadster, and waited with Ru until Gaston-Louis showed up for him.
At last, the Sombreta stretched sedan pulled into view, and Demetri said a few last words to Ru before the send-off. Demetri- "Don't hesitate to call if things get dicey. Don't bother with a cell phone, just keep me apprised of your whereabouts by calling again telepathically every time you move."
((Ru response here and intro urself on G-L training night as tagged.))

Ru- "I'll call, Demetri. Thank you for being there for us. I know you don't have to." He beams at Demetri, and for just a moment, maybe uncomfortably, Demetri has a sense of the raw admiration that Ru has for him, despite the badmouthing from some of the other vampires. If there was a sense of honor among vampires, then...
Ru got into the car, and waved goodbye. He liked Demetri.

Demetri nodded and smiled, waiting for Ru to depart. Demetri- "..."
Then out came the cellphone, and his schemes and things...

(( Dr. Jar - ))
After Ellen dropped off Ru at the estate, he tread carefully. As far as he knew, Demetri wasn't around and Dragomir might be. It seemed a good time to hang out in a weird corner of the estate where he would be unlikely to be found.
He climbed in the window of an old barn that had been repurposed into a garage, and chillaxed with the spiders in a disused loft until dawn told him the monster of the house would be asleep. Then he clambered down and strolled across the fiery yellow estate to his place of sleep...
Inside, he presumed Cameron was already in bed, and went to his own. Sleep called to him, but then, so did a sad curiosity...
((Jara, refresh my memory. Has Ru seen any internets stuff about their demise, or anything else? I forget what all I've RP'd with what peeps. Long summer of doom, yo.))

((He hasn't done anything on the computer besides try to record things on the laptop and see how functional it is for movie processing. So he hasn't gone on the internets)) Ru- Ru did his best to creep in silence and sneak about as quietly as possible. He stayed hidden for as long as necessary, assuming that Lord Dragomir the vampire's hearing was so keen he could hear a cockroach fart, and his sense of smell was better than a bombsniffing dog.
He curled up, assuming Cameron was back, safe, and well, and wondered about his family.

His own senses dulled out by daytime, the darkness of the room became genuinely comforting. But the LED of the laptop (which had been left on the charger) beckoned... could his wonderments be satisfied? Pineapple also contemplated the light, but Ru couldn't tell anything about what the cat was thinking, and couldn't smell every odd thing about the beast. Day had its perks.
Pineapple- "..."

Ru- Ru looked around, almost out of reflex, and then smiled sheepishly at pineapple before reaching towards the laptop. He hadn't so much as dared to explore the internet...but there was no one around as far as he knew who would or could stop him...
He tapped a few keys hesitantly, as if afraid that Dragomir would be able to hear a household away, and also asleep and tried to connect to the internet.
He was going to see how his family had done in his absence. He imagined well...

Mama Elise's social link had a flurry of activity to which she'd only responded with a "mourning" status change. Papa George never used his social link - it was just a placeholder. Sister Clare was active and Ru had never seen anything quite like that. She had a few heart-ripping sorta poetic posts, short form eulogies written as they came to her in the days since. Interspersed, she just responded formally to the myriad well wishers.
He did have another few angles to find out how people were doing. He could look at the social media of the people closest to the family, and he also happened to know his mother's e-mail password. If she hadn't changed it in three years. Hm.

Ru- Ru wondered if he should not have looked, if he should have avoided all of this, and tried to pet Pineapple. He was a good cat, but maybe one that would resent too much handling.
He did not want to know what people had said, were saying about him, but he knew that his mother's mourning was deeper than just a word. She was probably still mourning. She would mourn for years. She would possibly mourn the rest of her life, and it was his fault, and his mistakes.
Ru knew he should never have ended up here, and yet, here he was.
He closed out of the social media. He didn't want to feel his mother's pain any more acutely than he already had, and he certainly didn't want to see her talk about how heartbroken she was.
He just wished he could communicate that he was alright, and had not vanished into the nothingness of non-existence, and true death without endangering them or starting a search to find whatever they assumed was the shred of hope that he was still alive somewhere, and not the captive of a monster.
He wished he could try, but instead tried to hug Pineapple.

Ru had no supernatural ability, but did have a modicum of natural empathy for his fellow animals. He felt out the cat's boundaries successfully, and got his hug.
Pineapple- "*purrrrr*"
((Well written, monsignor! The name of this chapter had two meanings and this scene was one of them. I call this finis!))
