"!!!"
Santi and Cam came back with... Who was that? O lawd no! Santi- "Florence knows all about monsters. She'll fix you up."
Florence- "As a vampire, you are part spirit and unfortunately malleable. The changeling's blood really did a number on you, huh?"
"..." August let out an anguished squeal before burying his head in the sand again. And he'd thought this night couldn't get worse!
After the yubbies were brain-fixed and the evidence cleaned adequately, Florence drove them to the Harlan Aquarium, which apparently had an occult sanctum for vampires upstairs. Who knew? All the way everyone was kind and generous. Florence- "Here goes nothing, lil' fella." She sprinkled iron filings on him, and they felt like he had been rolling naked in beauty bark and picked up a thousand tiny nettles. Something happened... That dude was a dude (mysteriously clothed), but he was a mite thirsty, and felt like he had super allergies - runny eyes and all that. ((If there's any of that you'd have rather not skipped, mebbe we can expand, or I can just edit replies in above. At the end of it all, August is at his new location and it is dawn. I'll introduce you at the aquarium if u wanna play any more denouement, or we an just continue time skippin' with a summary...))

"Oh BOMBAROO! I'm me again! I'm more chuffed than a nut hoarding squirrel! How can I ever thank ya, Flo? Pretty and magical all in one."
Florence- "That's too sweet." August wiped blood from his eyes and sniffed. "Babs is gonna be mighty disappointed though. I hope she hasn't brought the fish tank or bow tie. Lawdamimbo! Well, that's the last time I bite anything that ain't human shaped."
Cameron- "Definitely." August felt hunger pangs just at the thought. Darn this was how it had all started! Then another thought struck him."Oh yeah, does anyone know what kinda fish I was? I wasn't a Lampyre, was I?"

Santi- "I don't know much about fishes, but I know you're a vampire now. And we've got that covered."
Cameron- "How about this?" Santi- "Well, with the limb, er, strapped in place like that, and with you well fed, it might reattach in the day. If it doesn't, you'll slowly grow a new one."
Cameron- "That's only sorta horrible. Thanks tho." Inka- "I feel too strange. The day must be near."
Florence- "Hm. Yes, well, we should all stay here, stay engaged with our guests while they're here. You know, not have too much time alone to... think about... this and that." Inka- "Wha..?"
Florence- "Is the blood to your liking, August? I really think we have storage down here. Got a few tips from friends abroad."

August was all over that blood. "Mmmmf....mmmf. *sluuuuuuurrrrrrp* He greedily knocked a glass back before replying. "I'm vamping out alright! Best blood I've ever had! Simply bombaroo! Having fingers again is wonderful, check out that peace sign y'all!" "Oh!....Heh sorry Cam. It wasn't too hard to find was it? Ya like a lizard! I used to keep one in a box when I was a little mite, called it Sammy. I had to let it go cause our cat kept trying to eat it. A lizard not an arm..." "I love ya digs, Flo and Ms. Inka. How's Court and Trev going? I haven't seen them since they left the film set three nights ago. It must be so bombaroo living in an aquarium!"

Florence- "I'm checkin' it. You're welcome."
Cameron- "Yeah, I feel ya. I'll just be glad when it's over." Santi- "You'll be fine, I assure you." Inka- "The aquarium is great! So far jhey have not taken advantage of the nice fishes to watch."
Florence- "They'll come around. In more ways than one. Ellen should be dropping them off, oh, just after dawn." Inka- "I guess... I'll miss them..."
Florence- "A shame, sorry about that, mama. Well, August, Courtney has some adjusting to do - being a Lepponen is a little weird, but fun. Trevor is doing fine, though. How is Antearctos-on-the-Bay treating you?"

August looked at his glass of blood with a touch of guilt."Well, I had to give up being vegan in my mouth but I'm still vegan in me heart ya know? I give them cookies so it's like blood donation. So far being a vampire hasn't been so bad."
Cameron- "Not too bad except the extra monsters. What the hell was that thing? A changeling you said?" Florence- "There's all kinds of changelings, they're just fairy folk who've taken a mortal form. That one was some kind of kelpie for sure. I've never seen one as a changeling before tonight. Bad luck."
Cameron- "Oh well..." " Marchese mansion is nice and Mr. Marchese is too. The film is gonna be bombaroo, me and Will have been brainstorming. Y'all should come and play a part. We've got plenty of roles. The more the merrier! Then poor Santi won't have to play the bosomy maiden. Err not that any of y'all need to play her... she ah can be the dead classy maiden!"

((Note edit above)) Santi- "That's the spirit. I'll be as buxom as I need to be to keep you from getting chewed on under the piers." Inka- "I had a friend once who is a kalpje, do I not?"
Santi- "You seem tired Inka. Maybe I can take you to bed?" Inka- "Luukas?"
Santi- "Moving right along..."
As Santi escorted Inka out, Cameron got a call on his cellphone, which he awkwardly answered - Demetri there to pick him up. Cameron- "Hey if I'm in one piece tonight, maybe we can hang again? Demetri's here..." He headed out, leaving August with Florence. It was one of those awkward interstitial moments in life, between the times and place that have a complete sense to them. A mild feeling of animal alarm and the dimming of the room's light told them the sun was soon rising, but it wasn't there yet. Florence sat on a couch. Florence- "Ellen will drop off Trevor and Courtney and pick you up for Marchese soon. I asked her to come after sunrise for ... a reason. Anyhow, I'm really glad to see you feeling better. That was a rough ride, tonight, huh?"

August didn't let Cam go without enveloping him in a large but careful hug. "Of course my hambalos, give me a holla on how it goes! Love ya guts."
Cameron- " Yeah man. *ulp* Good lookin' out tonight. Peace." August sat himself down on in an armchair close by, willing himself not to fall asleep in it. He certainly hadn't expected to end his night talking with the lovely Florence. It certainly had been an odd night. He couldn't wait to tell Quinn all about it. "Ya not kidding! There was some shenanigans before the beach too. Then I thought I was gonna lose Cam, then I was gonna be stuck as a fish. I tried to go peaceful with the kelpie but he didn't want a bar of it. I hope not all fairies are like that. I can't tell ya how happy I am you were able to fix me. Have ya ever had to do that before?"

She relaxed at last, perhaps overconfident in Santi's ability to handle ... a reason. Florence- "Never! But I've heard of it. Vampires are part spirit and our transformations are part of that, so I've seen something kind of like it before, but never... Well, it just made sense. When you learn to change into an animal, you can change yourself back if that happens again..."
Florence- "...But what are the odds? You have some weird luck, fella."

"It's alright! Pretty happy about how my night ended. A cosy chair and a darn bombaroo girl. " "This one time my sister was playing with me gran's gun, it went off and the bullet missed me head by bare inches. My sister used to joke she'd done it on propose and just missed." "..." "So... What's the hairiest situation you've been in? Before and after being a vamp. "

Florence- "Thanks, baby. I'm pretty impressed with myself too..."
Florence- "Aww. I missed my family for a while too. Let's talk about something else..."
Florence- "Hairy as in 'scary'? Hm... The second time I played a club, somehow worse than the first. As a vampire... I don't know how else to describe it. I was in the spirit world and I had this moment when I could see all the ways to live or die from there. And couldn't be sure if I didn't take all of those paths in a real way."

"Shootfire! That'd make a great film." "Ya must of been pretty scared. That's pretty barmy stuff.. How'd ya make sense of it in the end?"

Florence- "Nothing makes sense, does it? You just have to get cozy with --"
Florence- "--it. Hm."
Their vampiric senses fizzled to nothing and the room went numb and dark. The electric light seemed wholly inadequate now.

"..." "Daytime doldrums, gotta get used to that. It's kinda like the worst hangover huh?" "Soo... did any of ya paths include me? "

Florence- "Whaaat? Oh you dog. Maybe they did and I don't remember. You ever see a hint of forever?"
The daysickness wasn't as bad as it could be, in this room with no natural light. But they still felt fairly blind.
