"I dunno, I hope so. I'm looking up the vampire type support groups right now. I might have done something kinda stupid Q. I left a voice message to Lloyd French."

"Oh August, you didn't! If Lloyd's at all prone to overreacting or drama, this could get all over." He sighed and sat down next to August."Let's simply hope everyone else doesn't take him as seriously as you seem to. To be honest...I'm in a bit of a pickle myself. I went on my mother's social networking page earlier....and I..." He shook his head.

"He..he might think it's a prank right? Uh someone who's good at Antearctan accents... I dunno." August leaned over and put a hand on Quinn's shoulder."What did ya do Q? We're in this together, I'll help ya out."

Quinn took a false breath just so he could sigh to express his anxiety."That's just it. I've not done anything yet. I don't know what I should do. Well...that's a lie. I SHOULD leave her alone to grieve and move on normally. I just wish there was something I could do to comfort her. To let her know I'm actually alright. I distanced myself from my family for years and then I go and die on her." He swiped a curl from his forehead."Sorry. I'm a depressing old sod sometimes."

"There's nothing wrong with emotions no matter what they tell ya! Even if they call ya a big baby and steal your play lunch. Emotions feed ya soul, Q. Especially when ya an artiste. " "I was thinking of contacting my sis but ya probably right, I should just let me family go. Perhaps there are other ways of comforting them? Like you could send ya mother a song written just for her? Pretend it's like from before ya died? I'm gonna dedicate my next film to me family. You should check out this next site with me Q, it's for immortal mental health... or people who are bonkers and think they're immortal.. either way."

Quinn didn't WANT to just let his mother move on, but he was adult enough to admit that it was his own selfish desire talking. He was glad he had August around to discuss it with."Do you suppose this is karma, old thing? I held my mum at arm's length to avoid being around my father and brother...and now I don't have any choice but to keep her that way forever. It's rather like that old horror story...what was it called...the Ape's Hand?" He leaned over to get a look at August's phone."Alright, let's have a look at this site you found then. Even if it is fake, it should be good for a laugh."

They'd need Wayspace profiles/e-mail accounts to participate, if they decided to.

Page 1 Page 2 A week ago, this would have looked like wanktastic virtual LARPing, and it might actually be all fake. But the fact people were at least pretending to be legit meant they might take their problems "seriously" - as dramatically appropriate.

Quinn looked through what he could see of the message titles and groaned. Heck, he was a vampire and he still found some of this remarkably histrionic."While not ruling out the possibility that there may be one or two vampires on there, I do believe we're mostly looking at young people using alternative identities to cope with more...deep-rooted issues." He patted his friend on the shoulder."I'd say of the two of us, your empathy is the most well-developed, old thing. Mine's never been too good...but that's just a 'me' problem rather than a 'beast of the night' one. You're fine." He huffed at the 'Lloyd' comment and really wished he didn't need to make a conscious effort to do so these days. He wasn't actually angry, despite his severe expression."And which Lloyd problem would that be, old thing? The one where you're still letting him get under your skin even though you are literally worlds beyond him now? Or the one where you prank called him even though we're supposed to be dead? At least grumping at August got him focused on something other than his own issues.

"Both! Seeing as ya aren't gonna help me." August looked pretty hurt and whisked the phone from Quinn's view and turned his back to him. He created a profile under the name 'Sl1ckshoota'. Even if they were pretending, maybe they'd understand him with their creative souls.

"August..." He accepted the turned back and stood to head back to his bed."I just...want you to be careful, alright boyo? I don't trust some people to be lenient if something, for whatever reason, goes wrong." Quinn didn't expect a reply and pointedly put his own phone away, taking his own advice. It was unpleasant, but there wasn't anything he could do for his mum now. Meddling wouldn't work out for anyone, he suspected.

August looked back at Quinn his expression softening, the guy obviously didn't keep grudges long."What do ya think they'll do?"

"That's the rub of it...I don't know." He was glad he hadn't pushed his normally patient friend too far."Look, do what you need to stay healthy up in the old headbox, lad. Sorry I came off a bit...blunt. You know how I get."

"It's lucky I'm pretty, huh? It's okay Q, it's just a bit of a sore spot. I still love ya." He started a thread labelled 'Cutting mortal coils', if it was all pretend there was no harm in at least posting.
Sl1ckshoota:'Hi there folks, I've just become a vampire a few days ago. I was a film maker, you've probably never heard me. Me and my friends are having trouble adjusting as ya can imagine. My old rival is still bothering me. We're supposed to be hush hush but I might have made as much mess as a duck in a jam and pie shop. I prank called him. Can ya help me? What do I do?'

Page 1 Page 2 Like the message he'd sent the admin of the other board, he suspected this would not receive a reply in the paltry time remaining before the sun robbed them of their remaining consciousness. They could both feel the sun move. ((So officially Quinn does nothing then? That's cool. Do one more post each and we'll call it a night!))
