"One would think you were in counselling.." "On the bright side, you're not a lawyer, dear." "I'm sorry. Well, you seem like a lovely girl. I know you're situation is rougher than I could ever imagine, but if you ever feel like talking to me, please do. Now, we have a good thirty minutes left. Are you sure there's nothing specific you'd like to talk about?"

"Yes the big C, been cancer free almost thirty years now. So how do you find Vitus, dear?"

Courtney- "That's. Huh. Well, he seems ... alright, but... ineffectual. Like, he wants to do the best he can for people, be a modern guy and stuff, but what can he do? This all feels like it can't end well."

"Why not as well as can be? From what I've heard, things have improved for young ones in the last ten or so years."

Courtney- "... I don't know. I guess even before I was part of a system with lots of built-in oppression and too much, like, society-level inertia to do anything about it, but this is a bit more extreme, don't you think? I mean, I knew I could never reach the pinnacles of society based on where I was born as a human, but it's easier to be OK with that than rulers who can use you and throw you away on a whim.
And this situation. The Circle doubled its numbers with us, after a hundred years of only adding one vampire every few decades. What can that be for? It seems like instability. That's dangerous, isn't it? But what do I know? Did Vitus tell you anything about this?"
He had said very little, since he couldn't have seen the mass-turning of the movie people coming even one week ago.

"That does sound concerning. Unfortunately I know about as much as you. All I can suggest is keeping your ear to the ground and banding together with your fellows. At least you're not alone in this. You're a very switched on young lady, I think you may have a good chance of riding whatever it is out. I wish I could help you more, I really do."

Courtney- "Radical..."
The conversation turned to fashion and the difficulty of being Vitus when moustaches and sideburns were in style. Eventually she returned to the lobby, Trevor came in, then Jason, and then... Jack- "Hi."
Jack availed himself of the furniture.

"That's okay, it's mostly to give Tina something to do. That girl spends far too much work time on dateless.com." "So how are you coping with your new life thus far, Jack?"
