"Are you serious? Yes. I'll sleep under your bed always. Ellen and Leo try to protect me, but I'm legitimately concerned that ... that I'll wake up one day see Greyburn wearing my scalp as a wig. Maybe for one of Angela's hat parties. Hahahaha! It's not actually funny. Well, it's a little funny." She put her hands behind her head like a pillow.
"Chloë says you visit her a lot, but where do you live-live? Do you share a room with Vitus? Is that the best?"

Jack- "Yeah, I know what you mean. Before those new guys showed up, people kept wandering into my room. They can still, whenever they want. Oh wait, I need to convince you to come live under my bed. Umm disregard!
Heh you'd think bunking with Vitus would be nice, I guess I'd certainly get to sleep faster. That guy is straight as a pin and ... twice as boring? Ugh I'm still too high for good similies. Yeah I have my own room, Sombreta's got this big house downtown, it'd be nice if it wasn't full of creepy monsters you know? It's so big I think I've talked to that blue haired guy maybe twice ever.
You guys share a room? That's probably a good idea. I wonder if you could get your own place? It's just Chloë and Wilhelm at their place. Wilhelm is, well, creepy and kinda rude, but he's not that bad. Definitely better than what you've got going on I'm sure. I bet Chloë would love to have you over too, it'd be a tight squeeze but I think now we're dead, we could just stack up like cordwood."

Babette rolled over, sorta like a sunbather, but without the sun. And without the swimsuit.
"So you're actually in Angela's mansion? Yeesh. I don't get it. What are we to those old-old guys? Like ... grandchildren? Pets? Do they make new vampires every century to fulfill a prophesy? Nobody's explained. Have they?"

Jack ran his fingers through the grass. It'd be pretty cold out here for a human if they weren't burrito'd in a blanket, but the vampires let their body temperatures drop to an uncanny low. Jack- "Yeah, I've been thinking about that. The funny thing is, doesn't even seem like the old vampires are considering that, I've never heard anything. Vitus doesn't even seem like he wants to talk about it, but he doesn't know anything anyway. I don't wanna be bleak, especially when we're rocking this sweet buzz, but it seems pretty ill. I don't think it'll be that bad for us if we're careful, probably, I almost think we don't even matter at all to them. No offense, but they kinda bought you guys wholesale. Like, what's the rush? The next youngest vampire before me is still almost a century, why now? Well, it's kinda over our heads anyway, what can we do?"
"Do you have any ideas about all this? Any secret plans? I wish I did, not one like Darren but... something."

"My secret plan's to work hard and be a movie star. So I guess ... same as always. Nothing else to do, really." "I'm going to jump on the buzz-kill train - chu chu ... chu. Chu. In the beginning, I figured me and some friends could run away and start a new life across the sea. One of them. I'd be a lounge singer. But we're between a rock and a frying pan right now. The old vampires are like ... angry guard dogs. They bite us, but they also scare away trouble. If it wasn't for Santi and Demmitree ... August, Cameron, Ru, Chloe, and I would be dead. REALLY dead. The sea spirits and crow kids picked on us. Jack, you and me just need to stay alive until we're strong enough to fight roving gangs of mon ..." Her buzz-kill train derailed, along with her train of thought!
"Whuuuaaait - Wait. Darren has plans?"

Jack- "Sea kids and... and crow... wh... I'm having trouble tracking, sorry. Got the ganj-brain. But yeah, I thought about leaving too. Do you get to be on the loose very often? Might not be all that hard. That girl with the hair-- Courtney, seems like she might be planning something."
Jack- "Huhuhuh, oh Darren. Yeah, you should ask him sometime. Well, uh, when he's not tweaking. He's like someone's wingnut uncle who locked themselves in a remote cabin because the queers are taking over. Well, not specifically but you know. If you like a good rant about explosives, he's got you covered."

"Hahaha. Oh, bunker uncle. Mine thinks Dorein invented loud music. Maybe he did ..." "Wooooh." "I always feel weird at these student events. Everybody assumes that I went to college. They're so naive. Not you, though. You aren't naive. Your aura is waaaay savvy. It's like ... you know the world. You know. The world."

Jack- "Oh man I know I feel like--"
Jack- "Like--
Jack- "Yeah. That's just... true. I don't think I'm a lot older than these kids but you know, I've graduated, I worked in an office, this is like a wormhole for me. Oh--whoa. Yeah, that's why this thing is so weird. Thanks by the way, I like to think I'm savvy. And you too. Chloë's the best, but yeah, she doesn't know about... stuff, you know? Do you know about stuff? Err-- you know what I mean. Of course you do."

"Oh, yes. Stuff is, like, all I think about these days. Well, some stuff. Like stuff stuff and stuff. I hope Chloë never changes. She probably will, though, if she hasn't already. It's hard to be ... I don't want to say innocent, but ... my vocabulary isn't great right now, so whatever. It's hard to be innocent forever, even in the best situations." "Then again, Chloë's unique. Sometimes, I look into her big eyes and think, " Whoa, she's in a world of her own. It's magnificent.' Other times, I'm, like, ' Whoa, Chloë, you look like a sad deer. You have sad deer eyes.' And now and then, I think, ' Whoa, wouldn't it be great if Chloë had blue eyes, and then her last name would be ... just ... really appropriate.' Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be great?"

Jack- "Whoa, yeah! Blue eyes are for real, man. I always wonder if they see the world differently, like... we have normal eyes, but maybe they see the world all cold and stark. Yikes."
They lounged in the grass, listening to the muted sounds of merriment inside, and various night insects passing them over for more lively blood. Jack- " *Sigh* It's already wearing off for me. It's harder to stay buzzed now, at least I got to share it. Thanks for talking to me. It's weirdly lonely even with these extra people. Vitus spends his time with the new guys now, so I try to spend as much time with Chloë as I can, or I feel like I'm gonna go bonkers. It's good to hang out with different people too, or maybe I'd start picking up her mannerisms and that'd be real unflattering on someone like two feet taller."
"Do you think-- you'll be able to keep yourself safe? That's a stupid question, but... I don't think Chloë could, maybe I couldn't either, I don't know. Who's with you over there, can you watch each other's backs?"

Jack - "That's a charming idea, I never got to travel before. I wonder what other cities are like for vampires. Hell, I don't even know what my hometown is like, are there a bunch of undead monsters roaming around? So weird to think there's some kind of hidden world we never saw before. I keep looking back on my life and wondering, 'was that guy a vampire?' Maybe even some other weird creatures. Maybe my 2nd grade teacher was a real witch, who knows."
"Are you from here? I grew up in Parkville, the only vampires down there would have to be pretty sad. Still, I dunno, I did meet a vampire there, or I wouldn't be here."

Jack - "The saddest."
Jack - "Well he should be sad."
Jack - "He's the sort of person you'd think was cool when you were a stoned 14 year old, not so much when you're a stoned 23 year old. I don't know sometimes, if it's better to be like you guys and be a vampire for some random reason, or to be here because someone wanted you to be here. What do you think? Does it help to know it wasn't your fault in some small way? At least I don't have to see him everyday, so it's not like I'm owned. Poor Tristan... I can't imagine."
