 ZIIIINGGG!Fudgin' foolz be up out that cut. Santi got a fast cabbie to sweep August and Quinn away into the night. 
Santi-
"I don't even know what to do... maybe meet up
with some of your friends, I know where they
are. Anyway, we'll go pick up a car at the estate." Santi wasn't very talkative, leaving the boys to their new cellphones.
Quinn found himself with the power to check his mom's Social Link page. This was serious business. Should he? Could he? Would he? Would he just pester Vitus with return texts?
August suddenly got the default ringtone for an incoming txt msg, lol.VITUS WHITESTONE: Your name is August Fahrenheit. Your family is Grauish but you were raised in Antearctos. With family resources, you've been able to try lots of different things out - renting out mopeds in Kastan, parasailing in Neyam. You're hanging loose in Harlan between jobs. Papers and such coming soon.

Santi-
"You think you could be Wilhelm's brother? Heh, I think you do not." Lookit turned up extraneous crap because someone named Heather Hayes was in a movie called "The August Personage." A few tweaks later and ... nothing devoted to his own memory yet, but a short article in the Harlan Observator talked about the crash!
BUS CRASH KILLS INDIE FILM CREW
HARLAN, HPN- Many families and community members are in shock and mourning after a bus accident claimed the lives of a dozen young independent filmmakers, celebrating their first release, a vampire film named "Lychgate." Details are unclear as there were no survivors and no witnesses, but the rented bus apparently lost control on Harlan Rt-09 near the 321st street ramp, smashing through the guard rail and being completely destroyed as it crashed into a condemned building below, setting it ablaze. No one else was killed in the incident.
The names of the following victims have been released to the press, the last victim remains unidentified: the director August Hayes, cast members Chloë Blue, Babette Delaurier (screen name Valentine), and Ru Knight, promoter Courtney Humberbee, editor Jun Kato, art and design crew Elias Rojo, S'fiso "Sophie" Xhu, and Trileon Muningham, composer Quinn McCreedy, and technical hand Cameron Bogart. Hayes and Kato were international students from Antearctos and Kohon respectively. The families of all victims are planning separate funerals.
The police say the unidentified victim is likely a tall, fair-skinned man with light blue dyed hair named Jason. Police are open to receive any additional information from the public, as of press time.
The article was illustrated with a night photograph of a burning building, taken from the vantage point of the highway by the broken guard rail. |

   In all honesty August had been expecting a little more. Sure it had only been a few days but certainly his death would have impact? When he'd thought about his death in the past he'd always imagined himself as a lauded director with young fashionable kids mourning his death publicly and gloriously for days. Maybe it was a little bit of a stretch... He'd kinda hoped BADA would have made a big deal of it, some kind of memoriam in their name. At least a plaque you know?
At least the movie had been mentioned, he was pretty pleased at that. Yup, pretty darn good publicity and if the next one panned out, maybe his  dream would come true. He could only hope and time was his friend now.
He searched ' Lynchgate vampire film' into Lookit, maybe people were talking about it at least? Replaying and sobbing at the dreadful 'loss' to art, not knowing the director would live on forever, literally. Yeah. Take that Lloyd.
 "..."   "Do we share the same blood y'all? How does the whole family thing work, Santi? Do ya know?" |

Quinn rocked his mobile between his index finger and thumb. He had access to his mum (albeit remotely). Did he get his courage and at least explore the Social Link page? He waffled as he tried to distract himself with August's issues.  "Poor you, darling. I suppose we couldn't all get lucky with our new identities, could we?" He tried to only sound a tiny big smug before he caught a look at the article flashing up at them before August flicked away to something else. "Hold the reins there, chap. What was that?"

Quinn gave his friend a flat look. "I saw enough to know it was about us, dearest. You can either tell me as a friend, or I can look up the cold, impersonal facts on my own. Which would you prefer?"

"Okay, sorry. It's our 'deaths'. Only one measly article can ya believe it?" August flicked back from his egotistical movie search, and back onto the article on the crash showing the screen to his friend with a sad sigh. |

"It's better that way, really." He scanned the article and saw the mention of private funerals."To be honest, it's likely only been reported at all because it's a rather sensational way to go. People, I've found, get off on the grim and macabre. We're closet voyeurs, you know. The whole species." 
Santi-
"That's a bit much, don't you think?" He rambled on a bit while handing August back his phone and considering his own. He decided he WOULD check in on his mother. Here, alone with only his 'family', he could finally take a breath and realize that he was worried about her. "Give me just a tick. I need to check something." |

"They did mention the film at least... You do what ya gotta do, Q-ball."
He went back to searching for pages on his beloved film, hoping for some cute gothic cult of girls mourning his brilliance.
"So the blood thing Santi, do ya know?" |

Quinn couldn't help a surprised laugh."Always a bright side with you." Turning his phone so only he could see the screen, Quinn headed for his mum's Social Link page.

Santi-
"Well, I'm not quite sure what you mean. We're family in a vampire sense, but that doesn't make us family in any other way, thankfully. I don't want to think of myself as the child of a progenitor any more than you do."
Her Social Link page had only two posts since he "died.""My baby died. Don't say anything." Followed by,"The service will be on the 16th at Wp. Terrence on Sutcliffe & White." Both had a lot of comments and "likes." |

To Santi, Quinn replied - "Perhaps a slight hyperbole on my part, but not an entirely unfair assessment." He felt his throat 'close up' when he read his mum's status. The one where she called him her baby. It hit him like a sledgehammer to the sternum. He quickly closed the phone, closed his eyes and pinched his sinuses.

August thought better of re-explaining his blood question. It didn't seem like the best time for that kind of conversation.  "Nevermind. Any ideas on what we're gonna do, Santi?"

Santi-
"Not certain. Demetri was evidently conducting martial arts lessons tonight, and Vitus had a psychotherapist booked for the evening, all invited. So one option for the bold and one for the meek?"
