(( Thy Dungyeon Maestyr - I don't know what the house officially has in it, so edit if you think I made a ridiculous assumption about layout, furniture, etc.))
Trevor took a seat in a stackable plastic chair on the edge of one room where human activity was growing. He occasionally pretended to drink from a plastic cup.
After listening in to two young ladies discussing prices for their future homemade salve business, four guys loudly quoting from a show Trevor had never heard of, and a young man describing how and why wearing his infinity scarf helps him write, Trevor's eyes went searching for the more colorful residents of the house. His mind drifted all too willingly from the mortal world.
Feathery house centipedes made of fragmented shadows zipped about the corners of the room whenever disturbed by luminescent emotes and gibberish text that bounced off the walls, the playful pixels stopping only to nest in light fixtures until they were charged again.
A cheeseless pizza with sliced bell pepper face and a video game controller with A, B, X, Y button eyes and joystick antenna box stepped across the floor, dust bunnies hopping and floating about them affectionately.
A misshaped, nearly unrecognizable grey fedora spun wildly through the air. It would sometimes stop for no particular reason, staying aloft by flapping its brim, then resume its frisbeeing way.

((So far so good on the spirit descriptions. Trevor is in the main area / The Floor, but gets his own thread for being off in the corner trippin'.)) Vitus- "Is that guy alright?" Courtney- "Eh."

Vitus- "Jack, hey. You remember Courtney from the other night?" Courtney- "We didn't talk much. Hey." Jack- "Hey, how's it going? Are you and sleepy boy there in the same house?" Courtney- "Yeah, it could be worse. I don't know how long we'll last though." Jack- "Oh? Thinking of moving out soon?" Courtney- "Naw, we just have this ... thing going on." Vitus- "Oh yeah, Florence told me. I'm sure you'll be alright. Florence is a pip." Courtney- "Yeah." Jack - "Huh, okay. So what did you do on the movie? I've been hanging around with the actors for the most part, and the director." Courtney- "Promotion. I guess it worked well enough on vampires. What line were you into?" Jack- "Heh, I'm supposed to be an event promoter now. I might need to glean some tips from you to keep up my rouse, especially because I don't know what an event promoter is. Oh in life I just worked a boring clerk job. As a kid I did some petty crime, good times. Well not good but they were alright. You were a college student like these other guys?" Courtney- "Yeah, but it's not like you have to do your job. I'm some kind of designer I guess. Courtney Superb. Why 'Superb'?" Vitus- "I just like it. And you seem lovely, so something positive." Courtney- "Er... OK." Jack- "Vitus, you creeper." Vitus- "Whaat?" Courtney- "That ain't right." Vitus- "Oh this is just silly. I'm going to sit down and read some postmodern sociology damnit." Jack- "Heheh whatever gramps." Vitus- went for a stroll. Courtney- "There he goes. What's next?" Jack- "Hm, I don't know. I feel the need to socialize with all the new kids, but I dunno if they even want to talk to me. What do you think, is the clique worth trying to break into? It's the neighborly thing to do, I guess." Courtney- "Like your new job, I don't even think that's something you have to bother with, if you don't want to. People seem to have busted into their cliques real quick - faster than I ever would have thought. And I knew I wouldn't be in any of them, but it's still a bit of a burn. It's everyone for themselves or their besties, whoever that is. You slightly older guys - do you have cliques? Didn't seem like you get along with Darren, but you hung out with Tristan a lot at The Shadow Room." Jack- "Aw man I wish I was in a clique with that guy, he's too cool for me. And that was pretty much the first time we got to trade more than a few words. It was like the way you guys were split up into the different houses, we were split up individually, and only got to meet at creepy vampire parties. Vitus was making me babysit Darren last week but I think I'm out of that duty thankfully. And the fourth guy, I don't even know, I think he's sort of brain dead or something. Anyhow, I'm guessing sleepy boy there doesn't make very good company either. Pretty weird being an odd man out in the crowd, huh?" Courtney- "Oh, he can probably see and hear us, at least a little. Hey Trevor... So... I don't know. I don't know what comes next, but I just don't feel like this can go on. It's not like I'm going to snap - I just have no concept of the future right now, and I'm pretty sure anyone that thinks they do is wrong." Jack- "You said it, sister. I think even the old vampires are ignoring the big question, why all these new kids? Why now all of a sudden? The next youngest vampire before me is almost a hundred years old, why wait so long? I don't know that it has to be so bleak for us personally, but something weird is going on, no doubt. Well whatever happens, at least it's not our fault, yeah?" Courtney- "No kidding. Who's this?" Courtney- " That guy is trying to get noticed without coming over here. What's that about?" Jack- " Oh, heh heh. A secret admirer? I'll go say hi. Have a great night Courtney, as much as that is possible. Weird shit's going down but we should be able to have fun once in awhile, huh?" Courtney- " I still don't remember what that word means. Later."

Then Courtney was the only person sitting in Trevor's general line of sight. Courtney- "..."

Courtney- "Oh, hey. No, the taste isn't what it used to be. I took a sip of this earlier and my stomach wanted to turn inside out. Now I'm not even letting it get in the mouth... Trevor is like that guy on Savage Wild, staring at animals humping - but he's never even heard of these animals before, so it's more interesting to him. No time for poetic baritone commentary."

Courtney- "The fish thing. Florence told us about that on the way over. I didn't get to see it. Did you?"

"I just witnessed the sad aftermath. As a fish, August sounded like one of those colorful Frubble Friends on the television. What are they called? Hm. I forget. He sent pictures, too. By the way, how are you doing?" Babette was concerned, because she had empathy. It might be a human emotion, but apparently some undead still experienced it.

Speak of the devil! August joined the exiled ones. He kept an eye on the dance floor for signs of re-invitation.
"Hey y'all. Babs, Courts. Are me ears burning?"

"They may be. Courtney and I were discussing your misadventures at the coast." She turned her eyes towards Trevor."And that? Don't ask. Haha."

"Then y'all wouldn't have this pretty face to look at. Man, Tristan is a fun guy. Did ya see us ripping it up? He glanced at the spacey Trevor but shrugged.

"I sure did, you spirited Darlings! Tristan is an entirely different man than the one I met at the Marchese party. Please tell me you'll convince him to act in the movie? He's ... well ... really, really good looking."
