Ru- Ru raised his eyebrow very slightly, still smiling. "Blame him? Hm, well, do you have any other questions about our credentials or? What are you a researcher of? What are you a promoter of?"

Vitus- "Questions? I though those were off limits... Well, I research anything. It's an adventurous job in its way."
Jack- "I promote 'events', apparently."
Vitus- "That's Jack. A party on a plate."
Jack- "I'd rather not say anyone was on a plate ..."
Vitus- "Quite."

Ru- "..." Ru blinked. These were strange responses to questions. Were they being made fun of? What was the point of visiting people if none of them seemed impressed or interested?
What kind of movie were they being backed for, an adult film?
Had they been offensive somehow?
He frowned and sat back in the chair.

Babette noticed Ru's discomfort. It had been a weird night. But she was finally getting a read on the two men. They were a couple of socially conscious philosophers.
"I understand. 'On a plate' dehumanizes people. That's ... bad. Jack can draw a cat. He's nuanced. We're all nuanced and even idioms should recognize that fact. How about that?" These were unfamiliar waters.

((Explanations of responses, in case they weren't clear from forgotten information on last page or other reasons:
Questions as off limits - Babette said she didn't want to hear any more "stranger questions," which Vitus took as no questions from his side of the table at all.
Research is adventure - Clearly, Vitus thinks reading is a magical adventure into the world of imagination.
Promoting events - Maybe Jack doesn't think much of his job because of the economy? Hard to say. The plate stuff - Well, that's just cryptic and ghoulish sounding.))

Jack- "Yeah... that's what I meant."
Vitus- "Well, it's been lovely. We shall be interested to see your film as soon as we get the chance."

"..." "I don't recommend that. It's quite violent. Well. Let's continue this whatever-it-is, shall we, Ru? Have a nice evening, Jack and ... Vitus, was it?" She wanted that name for the record, in case she ever got a therapist.

Ru- "Thank you for your time. We're sorry we didn't do a great job of jogging your interest." Ru smiled faintly. They didn't seem bad, but they did seem odd. He wasn't sure he was making the best impressions today.

((Well now I'm confused. And my confusion started with what Babette said about idioms and stuff. Why was she cross after Jack's response and what was that therapist thing about?))

((Sorry, I've been playing less transparently lately, w/o many inner thoughts. Maybe I should go to back to the Alex model of mental monologues.
The therapist comment is a reference to her annoyance, which is actually directed towards poor Vitus. She's convinced that they're being brushed off, and she has issues with feeling inadequate. Especially around good looking rich people.
And to clear things up, the idiom comment was a reference to "on a plate" - she assumed that Jack objected to that phrase because it equated people with food, which is dehumanizing.))

((No need for the full Alex, that works. It was indeed a brushoff, but a well-intentioned one...)) Vitus- "I blame the circumstance. I'm sure we'd get on better if we weren't... here."
Jack- "It was nice to meet you Ru, Babette."

Trevor sat down at the table without asking. It didn't appear he needed their permission.
Trevor - "You two seem like you could be having a better time."

For a moment it seemed like they hadn't even registered his arrival. Then the heads slowly turned toward him. Sure a lot of pale pale people in the room tonight, even by Glennish standards. Vitus- "I guess it's not our idea of a fun game."
Jack- "Hello."
