Two black-clad figures emerged from the darkness to convene in a shadowy alcove by the club's restroom. They checked for onlookers and one pulled a plastic cup of ice from her purse. Janice- "Time for a refill!" Lucio- "Hope you got the good stuff." Janice- "Hey, I'm a connoisseur, I only nibble grade A healthy Glen." Lucio lifted back the cup's lid, and Janice bit into her wrist, draining blood on to the fresh ice. Lucio licked her wound before he put the lid back on the cup and shook it, the ice rattling against the plastic. Janice- "So you buzz 'em next, be careful not to double-dip here. High concentration of poor babies, don't wanna give 'em Immunovirus." Lucio- "Duh. How's the brew?" Janice- "Unghhhhhh soo good. These Glennish party-drugs are bangin.' " Lucio- "Gimmie gimmie." They took turns sipping from the straw until a bouncer nearly caught them with the outside beverage.

Janice and Lucio boogied up in the club, which had uncharacteristically dark music, on this-- their slow wave night. The perfect night for hooking up with the sad and the weary.
When the next dreary jam started up, Janice and Lucio found themselves confronted by a short, flameless being. Thierry- "Hey, who the fuck are you?" His childish voice wouldn't have been picked up by any mortal ear through the droning beats. Janice- "Oh it's the angry ba-- hey man. We're on your Lucio- hot list of allies." "The hottest."
Thierry- "I didn't read that shit. Why are you in my club?" Janice- Lucio- "It had a 3.5 on Reevuu. "Floor's kind of dirty. Drinks are too expensive, Booths too narrow for proper but we bring our own." makeouts." Thierry- "Yeah yeah, whatever. I guess you can stay here, but if you cause any trouble, I'm dropping a fuckin' cacodemon on you."
Janice- Lucio- "Ooh, exotic." "So heavy metal."
Thierry rolled his eyes and stalked back to his domain. Janice- "Man why's it all straighties and babies up in this town?" Lucio- "Says a lot for their tastes, doesn't it..."

The daring duo danced up with an assortment of humans, eyeballing them and whispering their reviews to each other in immortal tongue.
Lucio- Janice- "How's it going man?" "Yeah, how y'feelin? Look a little uncomfy, want a massage? We're suuuper good! Rama- "Ah, no, I'm alright! Heheh... uh, this is fine."
Janice- Lucio- "You sure? No lingering conditions? "Yeah man, you can tell us. No chronic aches and pains? We're primo at curing what ails ya." How about here...? Or here?" Rama- "Ummm I don't have any money."
Lucio- Janice- "It's fine, our services are free "All we need is your hot bod to the unwell and the needy." and you'll be healthy in no time!" Rama- "Heh, cool, but... uh, I'm healthy." Lucio- Janice- "Ugh." "Nevermind then."
Rama- "Wait, but--" They ditched the fool and returned to the dance floor.

Anselm had a mission he never thought he'd undertake - turning humans into vampires. In the pursuit of this, he tracked down his best friends with the help of a small mammal. They met outside a club blastin' spookeh beats.
Janice- "Mmm, wowow, who do we have here?" Lucio- " 'Sup." Anselm- "Hi my Schätzchen. Meet my friend." Demetri- <<Mine name is Demetri.>> Anselm- " 'Dhese are Janice and Lucio. Cool new style Janice!" Lucio- "What about my style? Janice- I tore these sleeves off for nothin.' "Whoaaaaa! You're friends now, huh? I thought you didn't even wanna look at the guy. Anselm- "Hey! Vell, I don't know before. I don't like phone calls..." Demetri- "Uh huh..." Janice- "Heh heh. We told ya you'd like what you saw. Anyway, we've heard a little about youuuu Demy..." Lucio- "Seen more than heard. How's it goin.' " Demetri- "Really now? Nothing too boring I hope." Janice- "Uh-uh, you're nothing but interesting, baby." Lucio- "We want to know you top to bottom." Demetri- "Really now? We came here Anselm- to take care of business." "Willem is coming soon, right?" Janice- "Hopefully all of us will be." Lucio- "Huh huh." Anselm- "Vhat? Come where?" Janice- "Absolutely everywhere." Lucio- "Messy." Demetri- "Now this is getting a bit distasteful." Anselm- "I don't know your taste." Janice- "Me either! Let's find out--" Lucio- "Alright alright, what's the business?" Anselm- "I haff a strange job. Do you make any new friends at 'dhe club?"
Janice- "We are all about strange jobs, but when it comes to friends, you'll have to be more specific. You know everyone loves us." Lucio- "We're lovable." Anselm- "Indeed..." Anselm- "I mean friends 'dhat use your... Uf, I can't say right. Sick people."
Demetri kept his piqued interest quiet. Janice- "OK, but even after we give them the whammy, they usually aren't in the mood for sexies. It's our burden to bear." Anselm- "Nonono, I don't mean 'dhat..." Janice- Lucio- "Well, I'm lost." "There's a lot of pain in the world. Take this place. Most people are uncomfortable and several are in serious pain. That one is OK tonight but has the immunovirus. And that sexy Hanian boy? Ulcerative colitis."
Anselm- "Uch, oh no. I cann only pick two... Okay... I need to make baby Anselms. But how do you choose?" Janice- "Baby Anselms for the first time ever?" Lucio- "What is happening?" Demetri- "Well, Anselm and Vicier have, as progenitors, been added to the Circle. But it has been deemed necessary that each has a lineage proper, if only a few." Anselm- "I said I vill consider it. Normally no but... I get to ztay here, maybe you too as my friends. You've ever 'dhought of such?"
Janice- "It's a bit heavy, isn't it? Too thinky." Lucio- "Conveniently out of our hands." Demetri- "The issue yet remains for Master Eichel. How would you decide, in the way as to make it as beneficent a gift as can be?" Anselm- "Maybe I'll just meet them and zee who likes me? Let's haff fun too, it doesn't need to be dark. Demetri- "Certainly."
Lucio- Janice- "As you like..." "If we know anything, it's how to have fun. And that includes sexin', in case you were wondering."

Lucio pointed out all the people in chronic conditions of misery, throughout the club. Anselm approached one of the sickly types, Lucio at his side.
Lucio- <<Anselm, how would you broach this subject?>> Anselm- <<How do they understand what you do?>> <<We change the excuse. I think tonight we are 'using Songese pressure points'.>>
<<Hm, guess I'll just find out whether we'll get along, and ask them what they think about the supernatural... Eh... Worth a shot, yeah?>> <<Would save time...>> Zody- "Master Lucio, who's this?" Lucio- "It is my good friend Anselm. Thought you'd like to meet." Anselm- "Hi, please to meet you. Lucio is a master already? Vee just come to town...!" Zody- "Just a master of martial arts. That's the title, right? Lucio- "You don't have to call me that." Anselm- "Ahh I see, yes, Lucio is extraordinary. Vhat is your name? I'm meeting new people." Zody- "Zody. Just another supplicant at the temple of truth." Anselm- "Hmm, vhat is 'dhe truth, Zody?" Zody- "Life is made from entropy and to entropy it returns." Anselm- "Entropie... intriguing. All 'dhe living things must decay and die. How do you feel for 'dhis truth?" Zody- "Oh, you know. No one loves it, but you can learn to accept." Anselm- "Hm, perhaps. Even with such dark beliefs, you find fun in 'dhe clubbing? Vhat brings you here?" Zody- "We talked about that, Lucio." Lucio- "She finds the dark music transcendent. It helps." Anselm- "It's nice music. Retro, isn't it? Sounds like from vhen I wass young. Zody, do you believe in 'dhe zupernatural?" Zody- "Master Lucio's techniques seem like magic." Lucio- "Oh yes. It's all in the wrist." Anselm- "Maybe 'dhey are. How are you in 'dhis city? I think on staying here." Zody- "Harlan is too expensive, but if you can, do it! This is just one of the centers of the world, you know?" Anselm- "It's true, I don't travel much before. You are a nice person, do you ever think... Hmm... it's difficult to phrase. Vhat if Master Lucio's technique was permanent?" Zody- "... I don't understand. Are you trying to sell drugs? My pain isn't that bad. But... Does that mean you dosed me before?" Lucio- "Mas não, no no no... It's all natural. Er, supernatural." Anselm- " 'Dhat wouldn't be permanent, vould it? I kannt do 'dhe same as Master Lucio, but would you like to see a magic trick?" Zody- "Sure, I guess. Still pretty confused."
Lucio- "I've never let you down." Anselm- "Alright, how about 'dhis...
He handed her a half-Graumark coin. "Spend 'dhis coin anywhere, put it in vith Glen paper moneys, any amount. It becomes ten Glenmarks, and 'dhey vill giff it back to you. Try here, at 'dhe bar, if you like. But don't do twice any place, or it won't come back." Zody- "Really?" She took it. "I'll look like a fool." Lucio- "I like this one." Anselm- "Haha, better 'dhan when I say 'no one touches my jacket'... yeah? I cann't help myself." Zody- "Wait, what if the bartender is in on it?" Anselm- "Keep it, try it somevhere else. If you 'dhink it's a good trick, call me. I tell you more about zupernatural."
He passed her his number on a crumpled paper. Zody- "Wow. Huh. OK..."

Meanwhile... Janice- Demetri- "Hey stud, what's your story?" "I can't imagine your senses are that wrong, so you must be joking."
Janice- "Oh can't a lady appreciate a little male beauty? Tell me the old guard ain't as prude-y as your babies." Demetri- "They are? I've heard, but mostly the words of rapists, so I didn't know what to believe. I wonder if they were like that in life?" Janice- "Eee, yikes dude. A little TMI to be honest... Well, it was just us Grauers and humans at the bondage club last night. Snoozers. Anyway, what's up with you, gloomy gus? I like this whole broody look you got going on, classic." Demetri- "Ah well maybe that's it. Tristan rather dislikes bondage clubs, maybe had other people not feeling it. As to my styles, I like to keep things fresh and sharp, but tonight has called for something more practical. What's your excuse?" Janice- "Ahaha, so bitchy, I love it! I like expressing myself, could you imagine being this free back in the day? There are so many colors on eeeeverything now. So you're pals with little Anselm? Aw, I remember back when he still had a beating heart. They grow up so fast." Demetri- "Well then, in the spirit of amity, I'll confess I do love color, and you're quite colorful. I've just met Anselm, but he's pretty interesting." Janice- "That he is. Glad to see he's enjoying himself. He was super uptight about the trip here, Aaaaanyway, I haven't been here since the cars started going vroom and less chugga chugga. Been here long? Assumin' you ain't a homegrown Harlan boy."
Demetri- "You haven't heard of me? Demetrios Ionavic, black knight of the battle of Niehm? Slayer of König Alprecht der Schreckliche?" Janice- "Oh la la! Fancy boy. You got that on your business card? I'm Janice Lombard, slayer of many the D and P continent wide. Not literally, eww. Poor Ds and Ps..." Janice- "Too much for ya, Demetri- Mr. Black Knight?" "No, it's fine. I'm just disappointed the community isn't doing a very good job of keeping each other informed." Janice- "Well, we know each other now, yeah? I'm not a fighter, so dunno how important it is for me to know much of anything. I'm pretty practiced at it. Hopefully Anselm will take out 'bad boy' with his li'l science project and we won't have anything to worry about."
Demetri- "Indeed... Say, I know he likes the firearms, but what else is he capable of? Janice- "One thing is... like, a hex. If he starts to say 'don't do such and such or such and such will happen...' Stop him! He doesn't even know when he's doing it and I've broken like ten phone screens because I sat in his chair or woke him up too early." Demetri- "Well... That is something. It sounds like one of the more magic- oriented lineage powers, such as Lepponen spirit craft. Does he know any other incantations?" Janice- "Well, could be. He doesn't really talk about it. I don't know if he even knows what he's doing--"
Janice turned, sensing an approach. Anselm- Lucio- "Hi, vee had fun. Vhat are you "The bomba." two doing? Are you friends now?"
Janice- Demetri- "Big time." "Quite. How goes the hunt?"
Anselm- "It's good, I meet zomeone nice. Maybe she vill call, I hope. Lucio- Janice, do you know another "She'll call." for me?"
Janice- "Always. We like to spread the love. Should I come along this time?"
Anselm- "Sure. Demetri, do you get too bored? Lucio can talk to you." Lucio- "Or I can sit over here and you can bask in my quiet camaraderie."
Demetri- Janice- "You're entirely too sly. I'm going "Ooh... Kinky!" to have to put the spurs to you..."

Lucio and Demetri chatted while the others to moved on to a pale person seated by themselves at the bar... Janice- "Danaaa, Dana love. How are you holding up tonight?" Dana- "Oh, uh, you know. Okay. Who's this?" Janice- "Anselmo, one of my dearest friends. Ansel, this is Dana. They're just the sweetest little thing. Hon, what are your pronouns again?" Dana- "I don't care really, whatever you feel like. So um, nice to meet you?" Anselm- "Hi-- vhat's pronoun?" Janice- "Pronomen. Wie 'er,' 'sie.' Für Transgender, Genderqueer, Nibi..." Anselm- "Ohh, right. Sorry. I'm terrible on Glennish." Dana- "Ehh well anyway, you're from Grauland too, I guess. That's funny Janice and Lucio don't have accents." Anselm- "Haha, 'dhey don't say it in Reckenberg. Janice is a Glenner by birth." Janice- "Anselm, do I have an accent in Grauer?" Anselm- "Hmm, a little bit. It's cute. Not zo bad as me, of course." Dana- "What's Grauland like? I'll never get to go there." Anselm- "I only know vhat it's like. Janice- I never been anyvhere. "Depends on where, but I It's less space 'dhan here." haven't seen much outside of Reckenburg, and it's cramped. Anyhow, travel is overrated. So... Anselm- "Ah, yes... I'm meeting new people. Dana, you seem in a good mood. Dana- "I dunno, might as well be. This time is for me, so why make myself miserable? Janice- Anselm- "Right on." "Yes. Vhat do you enjoy doing?" Dana- "Well, I'm in the process of pawning all my shit. Just get down to basics so I can spend my money having fun while I still can. Shallow as it is, just partying, junk food and concerts is good enough for me. I don't wanna get all Granny-ish and learn watercolor or Kastañol or something." Janice- "That's right... Is it OK if you tell Anselm..?" Dana- "Oh, um, sure."
Dana glanced around a little before continuing. "It's just immuno-virus. Not very exciting. There's not much hope but I'm stoned like 24/7. Doesn't always work but Janice's... What was that technique called?" Janice- "Life Energy Adduction Divine Finger." Anselm- "I'm sorry. Everyone vass getting it in 'dhe th-- years ago. I probably come close. Hoping it vass almost gone." Dana- "Yeah it's getting a big comeback lately. I don't even know how I... Dirty dealers or whatever. Who knows." Dana- "Anyway, that's all pretty bleak. We should dance or something, I don't have any open wounds-- Oh god, that was in poor taste. Sorry."
Janice- "Sure thing, baby, but just one moment... we might have something for... your health?" Anselm- "Yes, hm, it's... zomewhat like Janice style, but forever." Dana- "You're not going to mercy-kill me, right? Anselm- "...Eh, no. Not exactly. Do you believe in 'dhe zupernatural?" Dana- "I don't have any money for woo-woo stuff, you know. But I'm curious where this is going." Anselm- "I don't vant to offend you... Do you wish to live very much? Janice- Some don't." "You know you wanna." Dana- "Dying's pretty inconvenient." Anselm- "Hm. Alright, you are a nice person. Janice- I haff something I cann do for you. "You won't regret it, boo." Call me if you vant to know." Dana- "Heh... Sure thing Tiger. What's your number?" Anselm- "Dial a number you vant. Janice- It's a magic trick. Do it now." "I don't know this one." Dana- "Ooookay? You're paying for my minutes if this doesn't work."
Dana closed their eyes and dialed at random. Anselm's phone chimed. Anselm- Janice- "Magic." "Nice." Dana- "Uh...!" Janice- "Ta-daaaa!" Anselm- "Now vee cann dance."

Anselm and Janice ran into two fire-less fellas on the dance floor. Wilhelm- "Good evening." Janice- Anselm- "Wil and Wil! Imagine that." <<Are you having fun without us? No fair.>> Willem- <<Wouldn't dream of it. Sadly, it's been all business...>> Wilhelm- <<Yes, sad to say. Are you enjoying yourselves?>> Anselm- <<You'll be happy to know we're doing business as well. Janice- Trying to find Anselm babies.>> <<Anselm is a good boy.>> Wilhelm- Willem- <<Fantastic! It's going well?>> <<Why the change of heart? You were never interested before.>> Janice- Anselm- <<Aw man, don't remind him.>> <<Well-- well I don't really want to but... you know, I need to... Do you think it's not right? >> Wilhelm- <<Aw, it doesn't need to be such a Willem- traumatic thing for a young one. I've <<Certainly. I was only had a good time in my immortality.>> curious. You are not Albertine.>> Anselm- <<Ah, hm, good.. Yes... I got an idea to make a sick person into a vampire. So they won't die, Janice- and will be happy! I hope.>> <<Makes me happy.>> Willem- <<It is perfect.>> Wilhelm- <<It's a very nice idea, Anselm. I look forward to meeting them. Is it just you and Janice?>> Anselm- <<Thank you, you are nice to me. Lucio is around with Demetri.>> Janice- <<Hopefully not up to too much, or at least saving some room.>> Willem- <<Ah yes, Demetri. He who will not be named or looked upon.>> Wilhelm- <<He's not so bad?>>
Anselm- <<Uch, you guys are the worst. Janice- Yeah yeah... You were right...>> <<We always are!>> Wilhelm- <<Well eh, good to see you're getting along then?>>
Willem- <<LUCIO! Get that scary thing over here.>>
Anselm- <<Ohh... you're not going to tease me, right?>> Janice- <<Never, never. Friends just want to help friends get laid.>> Anselm- <<Huh?>> Janice- "Look look, the gang's all together!"
Lucio- Demetri- "Well well, shall I make the reservation?" "Your lineage is really something else." Anselm- "Oh, are vee coming to Janice- zomewhere cool now? "Eh heh heh heh heh..."
Demetri- "The only place we're going is get-the-business-from- Finsterwalds town, address: Lucio- Wherever they may roam." "We never.' Willem- "I do not understand dis, but I like ze sound of it." Wilhelm- "Hahahaha... oh dear." Anselm- "Finsterwalds haffing business too? Vhat do you do now?" Janice- "You mean who?"
"Who? But... Vhat? I forget 'dhe vord? It's... Ah... Who? Finsterwalds? It means you, doesn't it? I don't..." Willem- Wilhelm- "Aww." "Heh, it's been a busy night... Perhaps we should plan for a future party?"
Anselm- "Yes, vee haff a party for new Janice- Anselm babies!" "You betcha."
Demetri- "That's the spirit! Well Anselm, perhaps we should get on with our evening's business?" Willem- "Zhe business. There is zat word again..." Wilhelm- "Too much work 'zhey say..."
Anselm- "Ohh it's too much serious. Don't vee haff fun together, too?" Janice- "You bet you'll-- oh sweetie, Anselm- you just make it too easy." "Vhat's easy?" Janice- "Ugh ugh, I'm gonna run out of Anselm- ribald jokes at this rate." "Vhat's a ribble?"
Lucio- Demetri- "A type of condom, I think." "I'm laughing on the inside."
Demetri absconded with Anselm. Willem "Did ve push our luck too far?" Lucio- "That's what s--" Willem- "Zhat's what she said! Ooh!" Wilhelm- "Only she? Hm..."
