Jack- "Ehm, could be worse I guess but not great. I mean, I'm getting by but... these new kids, they don't know any of these vampires. Do you think that's better? I knew the guy who's the reason I'm here. Can't help wondering if it would be better for it to be random, rather than think I was chosen for this junk. Like, what did I do to deserve it? I dunno. I'm not freaking out as hard as those other kids, I'm sure."

"I don't think the situation is made better either way. I'm sure it was nothing you did, dear. So why do you think you're freaking out less than they are ?"

Jack- "Hahaha, that's a good question, isn't it? Thanks by the way, that's good to hear."
Jack- "I'm resigned to it now, I think. It couldn't get much worse than the first night, so it's all uphill from there, yeah? How do you even cope with your own murder? I remember it, even if I'd rather not. I dunno, it kinda feels like a terrible dream and I'm just floating along and trying to learn how to protect myself. It just doesn't seem real."
Jack- "But then I feel really bad for other people. You know, the whole thing is messed up and there isn't anything I can do about it, but what about my friends? My best vampire friend is just the poorest little baby and I don't know if she could handle anything. She's gotten this far, of course, but I'm just worried about her. I don't feel like I can do anything to help anyone."

" Hopefully that wonderful attitude is catching." " It sounds like you have quite dissociative feeling towards your murder. Which is very healthy considering the trauma it must have caused. I'm sure it'll seem more real when you're ready to deal with it, dear" "There is plenty you can do fro your friends, Jack .Just be there with support when they need it. It's probably the most important thing right now. I'm sure your little friend is stronger than you think, too. It's great that you worry so much for your friends but you have to look after yourself as well. Do you have anyone looking out for you?"

Jack- "Errrr kind of. Vitus is my 'vampire daddy'. I didn't know him before, it's a weird circumstance. You know him, right? What do you think? Sometimes he seems kinda... ineffectual. Maybe I should give him more credit, I don't know."

" I did. He's a lot of the reason for most of you being here tonight. So he can't be that ineffectual, right? One thing I can say, he always does what he thinks is best, no matter how stupid. You all seem to be forgetting you have each other though, you may not have the strength but you have the numbers. Something Vitus never had. Apart from your best vampire friend, are there any you feel you could get close to?"

Jack- "That's a good question too... I mean, there are people I'd like to be friends with, but I don't know if I'll get the chance. With the new people, it's a little weird. They're all one big clique that I'm not a part of. They were still in college, and I've been out for a couple years so I don't know if we have anything in common. I guess that sort of thing doesn't matter so much when you're undead though, huh? Those people doing the movie are pretty fun, it's nice to do something frivolous instead of all this training. I was never into sports... or studying.
Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like if things had gone the way they were 'supposed' to go. Me having to be with the guy who picked me. Creepy... I'd probably be like Tristan, and not be able to hang out with anyone else."

"A vampire movie? How fascinating. What's that like?" "Yes, trauma tends to either bond or break people. If they're nice kids, a little thing like a clique shouldn't get in the way. People can be funny with their little groups though. It sounds like you're pretty lucky things didn't go that way. What is the vampire who 'chose' you like? You mentioned you knew him before you were turned. Is that right?"

Jack- "The movie sounds fun, kind of silly but fun. They're trying to get me to act in it, but I hope they forget about it by the time they get the camera rolling! I just hope they don't turn out like the other films I've seen vampires make..."
Jack- "Ughhh Demetri is the worst. That's the guy. I knew him when I was a kid, and eventually he creeped me out enough that I hoped I'd never have to see him again. I moved on in my life from back then, but of course I had to get dragged right back, and he was the one doing the dragging. A lot of the vampires I met still seem... humane, but I don't know if there's anything left of him. When I was a kid I figured maybe that's just how rich fancy guys were, but I know better now. I'm just glad I don't have to see him every night."

"Oh rubbish, I'm sure you'd be an excellent actor!" "Methinks it's safer to not ask about the other vampire 'films' though.." "Obviously Demetri doesn't feel the same, to have kept an eye on you all these years. You must be quite important to him. I'm sorry he dragged you into this world. May I ask what it was that creeped you out so much? Surely there must be some glimmer of human left in him?"

Jack- "Well the worst thing was that he might have bludgeoned someone he was keeping in the trunk of his car, while I was driving. That's at least a little speculative but it doesn't seem out of character. He was involved in crime, so was I, but he seemed more involved. I don't know if he was keeping an eye on me so much as keeping tabs on me in case this opportunity came up. Somehow I think he'd have preferred to do this when I was younger... Ick. Anyway other than *coff* the obvious, I'm not sure what he wants with me... Or what he wanted, I guess he didn't expect this turn of events."
Jack- "I just don't know what's so cool about me, you'd call me back after all these years. If he just wanted a toady I'm sure he could've found one more recently. Did my old number turn up on accident? Darts on a board? I don't get it. "

"Don't see yourself short, Jack. You're a bright spunky lad. Again I say, who knows what goes on in the mind of this vampire? There's a different set of morals for many, it's hard to know what line they draw. You, Jack are no toady. You care about your fellow vampires and that's a fantastic quality. I think Vitus got lucky in this turn of events. So did you. With all these new vampires, I assume one was chosen by this Demetri. How do you feel about that?"

Jack- "Aw thanks, you're sweet."
Jack- "Since he didn't get me, I think Demetri picked the most normal seeming guy. I gotta feel bad about that. I don't know the guy, but like I said, he seems normal and that's a bad thing to be in these parts. I'm not even sure what I could say to help him, 'watch your back these guys are dangerous?' But I'm sure he knows that by now."
Jack- "So have you talked to the older vampires, other than Vitus? Man, I wonder how screwed in the head they'd be after all these centuries. Err.. there's probably a better way to phrase that, sorry. I'm sure you can't say what they talked about or whatever, but man, what a trip. I've known about the supernatural for about a week and it's already doing my head in, I don't know how you manage it."

"Thankfully I've only heard about them second hand. Only Dorien knows what a session with a progenitor would be like. Honestly at the end of the day, a vampire is still not a far cry from a person, the same basic problems lie underneath all the mysticism. Hunger, safety, belonging, love and self actualisation. It is easier to view the vampire world from outside in some respects, harder in others… So how are you managing the supernatural now that you not only know about it, you're a part of it?"

Jack- "To me talking to the progenitors is like talking to the creepy animatronic statues at History World, only if they were more murderous. Ugh, that sounds pretty bad. And as for the supernatural? Phew, I'm dealing with it at least. Maybe it'd be easier if I'd been a nerd for this stuff when I was alive, but now I feel like I'm always one step behind. I can't wrap my mind around the invitation thing. I hesitate at every door like it's gonna bite me."
