August- "They didn't seem so evil? I mean kooky but not evil. We can stick up for each other. They might have the power but we got the numbers. I won't let any of ya get hurt." (ORIGINALLY...)"I guess that puts us at the bottom. Was there ever really a movie Chloë? We're not gonna be manservants or something right? They looked after ya, yeah?"

Babette- "And can we really be together? Because I thought you said we couldn't at the flower ceremony. I'm not going to lie. Personally, the immortality thing is nice. And I'm sick of being a full-time waitress. Even death wasn't too bad; okay, this is weird, I know, but I've always wanted to know what it felt like. Still, if the big bosses separate me from my Darlings, and that includes you, I'll pull out my hair and walk into the sunlight." (ORIGINALLY...) She added to the question avalanche with one of her own.

Wilhelm- "Sunlight? You better bring your sunglasses. Hahaha." Chloë- "Ohh I meant... I meant with you when you... you know. I'm sorry." Ellen- "Some of you will maintain a level of freedom. I don't know if any of your parents are going to be especially possessive but I heard a couple of our earlier recruits are wandering around by themselves already. But you'll need to lay low after word of your death gets out. Don't go the places you usually hang out. It's a big city though."
Chloë- "Ohhh yeah. We're all going to die. I mean, everyone's gonna think we're dead."
Wilhelm- "That's why 'zeh buckets. I don't just do this for fun."
"But the movie is totally real! I mean, why would they get us otherwise....?"
(ORIGINALLY...)Wilhelm- "Sunlight? You better bring your sunglasses. Hahaha."
Ellen- "I don't remember who's going where because I don't remember your names. Sorry. Anyway some of you will maintain a level of freedom.

But you'll need to lay low after word of your death gets out. Don't go the places you usually hang out. It's a big city though."

"Is it a poetic death? Tragic? I hope Lloyd is so wrecked with guilt he never directs another film."
As her friends asked important questions, Babette muttered,
"I was being dramatic, Wilhelm, and you ruined it ..." ... Wilhelm, you absolute wanker. She kept the angry names secret, because she didn't want to burn any bridges, what with the movie. Maybe it was a tragic romance. That would be nice.
Courtney delurked. Courtney- "How are they going to promote a movie starring dead people? This is absurd." Wilhelm sat down the sloshing buckets and came over with a sigh. Wilhelm- "Don't you ever hear of an underground film? It was amazing, It was amazing, 'zhey unearthed 'zis film from the archive before the young people's tragic deaths. Besides, promotion or not, isn't art worth creating for its own sake? Would you rather be polishing swords and performing errands? Believe me, I have spent a near century Ellen- doing 'zis and it is no fun." "Don't even talk, dude."
Chloë- "I think it will be kind of a poetic story! We just finished our movie and d-die together..."
Eli- "*sigh* Where's the lie..."

(ORIGINALLY...)"At least Lychgate will live on after me. I feel a tad better knowing that. I'm guessing under false names, Court? I always fancied Archie Blake as a name."

August- "WAIT! We'll be making more films? Bombaroo! That's the best darn news I've heard yet. Cheer up, gloomy Eli. When the world hands you a frown, turn it upside down."
Eli- "Yeah-- yeah that's-- that's reasonable..."
Wilhelm- "Yes, no need to dwell on such morbid topics. I'm glad you haff all calmed yourselves and haff stopped throwing 'zeh punches."
Chloë- "What? Someone tried to...?
Wilhelm- "Let us talk of something interesting. "You'll find out the nitties and gritties soon enough. "
Babette- "Demons! Tell me about demons. Oh, and ..."
She leaned closer to Ellen, Wilhelm, and Chloe. Babette whispered the rest of her response, hoping to protect the more sensitive crew from unnecessary sadness. Perhaps she underestimated their vampiric senses.
"I have an obituary you can use. And please let's arrange a dignified passing. Many people here have families who will mourn. If you need suggestions, speak to me later."
Babette- "But demons first!"
(ORIGINALLY...)((dag, yo. Got ninja'd three times in 5 minutes. See Courtney's post above.)) Wilhelm- "Pah, all 'zese questions! I suppose it's understandable and I am glad you are not throwing 'zeh punches again. It's just depressing."
Ellen- "Angela is lovely. I've always gotten along with everyone and I'm sure you can too if you are polite."
Wilhelm- "Define 'getting along,' yes? Haha. Honestly, people chose you because 'zhey like something about you. Some of the others are not so lucky, you should be glad. I keep saying this tonight, don't make me say 'zis, it makes me sound boring. Aren't 'zere more interesting things to talk about? You'll find out the nitties and gritties soon enough. Don't you want to know about magics and flying and such? Don't be so practical, it's unbecoming of 'zeh youth."

"Demons? For real? I just wanna know about our powers. Can we fly?" Wilhelm flicked a bit of gristle off his gloved hand. Wilhelm- "Demons are a great interest to young Thierry. You should gain his friendship! You may be surprised, he is one of 'zeh oldest among us. I am always sad I do not learn 'zeh magics but my daily life is so full. One needs a good deal of free time to be a successful wizard." Ellen- "What you can do will depend on your lineage, but you could eventually do many things that vampires have been storied to do. Flying, turning invisible, changing into an animal or monster... "
Chloë- "I can't do any of that stuff yet, but it's only been a week!"
Wilhelm- "You are trying your best, darling."
Trevor - "What other magical creatures are known besides us? Do you know?"
A whole new world of interests awaited Trevor, surely.
Ellen- "There are ghouls and ghosts and a spirit world of weird things, they sometimes come to our world - like fairies. I know, it's silly..." (ORIGINALLY...)Wilhelm flicked a bit of gristle off his gloved hand. Wilhelm- "There! 'Zhat is 'zeh spirit! No need to dwell on such morbid topics. Demons are a great interest to young Thierry. You should gain his friendship! You may be surprised, he is one of 'zeh oldest among us. I am always sad I do not learn 'zeh magics but my daily life is so full. One needs a good deal of free time to be a successful wizard."
Ellen- "..."

Chloë- "Hehe! That's so cute. I want to see that!"
Wilhelm- "Ah, if you were Inka's child, you surely would."
Eli- "Wow, you aren't just joking...? So vampires, but also demons and fairies? Am I dreaming?" Wilhelm- "You may only dream during 'zeh day, unless you were to be bopped on 'zeh head." Chloë- "Hehe, don't bop anyone on the head!" Wilhelm- "Why would I ever do 'zhat?" Ellen- "..."
August- "What kinda bop are we talking?"
Suddenly and unpleasantly, Sophie chimed in. Sophie- "How the fuck can you all be so chill with this? This is fucked, man!"
Wilhelm- "To be blunt, you don't haff much say in 'zeh matter, so you might as well be 'cool'. " Chloë- "It'll be fine, I swear! Don't worry!"
August- "Yeah, Soph. Ya gotta make the best of it. Can't put cracked eggs back together." Sophie- "Fuck you Ellen!"
Ellen- "Whut." Sophie- "And Wilhelm. All of you vampires, taking us from our lives and families?!" Wilhelm- "Ah, you again. Whose child is 'zhis?" Ellen- "Not mine." Wilhelm- "Calm yourself, whoever you are. You are making a spectacle." Chloë- "Please, Sophie! It will be fine...!"
Eli- "Yeah, just--just take it down a notch. Let's not-- you know, in front of them..."
August- "Sophie... Stop." Sophie- "No, August, these monsters should understand!" Sophie- "You most of all. I can't believe you betrayed your bond of sisterhood to do this to innocent women."
Ellen- "...This got weird." Wilhelm- "You dare accuse a woman more 'zhan a century older? Haff you no sense of self-preservation?" Chloë- "Uhh-- uhh!! Please don't??"
Ellen- "Eh." Wilhelm- "I'm growing quite tired of 'zese complaints. I am not father to any of you, so I may say 'zis and not seem stereotypical -- 'if I hear one more word...!'" (ORIGINALLY...)(Originally Eli was the massive annoyance to Wilhelm, just repeating himself, being an entitled self-pitying brat.) Wilhelm- "Would you prefer to be chosen by roll of 'zeh dice? What percentage of us do you think are chosen for 'zis very reason? You preach to 'zeh choir young man."
Chloë- "We're artists Eli! Why else would we get picked?"
Wilhelm- "I'm growing quite tired of 'zese complaints. I am not father to any of you, so I may say 'zis and not seem stereotypical -- 'if I hear one more word...!'"

August- "..."
Sophie- "Fuck you. You should listen when I speak. Do you even remember what it's like to be human?" (ORIGINALLY...)
Trevor - "What other magical creatures are known besides us? Do you know?" A whole new world of interests awaited Trevor, surely.
Ellen- "Oh, we have a little time. There are ghouls and ghosts and a spirit world of weird things, they sometimes come to our world - like fairies. I know, it's silly..." "Fine no more complaints. What other cool powers do we have that take less time?"

Eli- "...!"
Eli wanted to protest, but 'one more word' rule was in effect, dogg.
Wilhelm- "I should, I should! I should do whatever I want! I am a hundred years older 'zhan you and I don't need to be told what to do by children. I do believe that was one word or possibly more. My dear director, you want to know 'vhat powers you may get? Ellen, can you give me a light? Right there." Ellen- "Okay." A sudden crack of metal on metal came from above in the girders. A huge stage light, hitherto unseen came falling down behind the group, stopping short of hitting the ground, and dangling from a tether of frayed wire. It flicked on with an electric snap, the room was filled with hot light that would have blinded a human. Years of dust danced in the beam, and the group's shadows stretched beneath them in inky pools. Wilhelm wagged a finger and found a particular figure in the black shapes. With a delicate movement, he stamped on the head of a shadow. The head disintegrated like he was stepping on a flimsy toadstool.
Chloë screamed as Sophie fell to the floor, a trickle of blood running from her nose. Wilhelm- "Now if she were a human, she would be dead as a duck. I am not the strongest of us, I tell you. Be polite." Ellen- "*sigh* We're going to need more blood." (ORIGINALLY... THE BOPPENING)(After being told to not say one more word, Eli said one more word.) Wilhelm- "I should, I should! I should do whatever I want! I am a hundred years older 'zhan you and I don't need to be told what to do by children. I do believe that was one word or possibly more. My dear director, you want to know 'vhat powers you may get? Ellen, can you give me a light? Right there."

With a delicate movement, he stamped on the head of a shadow. The head disintegrated like he was stepping on a flimsy toadstool.
Eli, your ears pop like you are descending too fast on an airplane. You feel a trickle of blood running from your nose, and everything goes black.
Chloë screamed as Eli fell to the floor. Wilhelm- "Now if he were a human, he would be dead as a duck. I am not the strongest of us, I tell you. Be polite."
Ellen- "*sigh* We're going to need more blood."

August- "Sophie! Lawdamimbo. Sorry, Mr. Wilhelm, sir. Please, she's been through a lot. She's not in her right mind. Don't do anything else." (ORIGINALLY...)“I didn't mean..Lawdamimbo!” What had just happened? He'd expected cool tricks like flight, not this. It was as if someone had cut Eli's strings, like some puppet but with shadows. A shadow puppet? If this is what they could do without touching, what else was possible? August hoped Eli would give up his ideas of rebelling. It looked like the only way for everyone to be okay was if they played nice. August made a mental note to remember his p's and q's. He'd be polite as a priest in a room full of nuns. He did't want to die… again. Not when there was a movie to be made.

Ru- "....! SOPHIE!"
He had kept quiet and to himself for most of this, but this was too much. He crouched by Sophie and suddenly felt like crying. It had all come to a head for him, and this was the final straw in everything. He had a bunch of regrettable thoughts.
During the majority of the situation, Jason had kept quite because he still couldn't trust any of the older vampires- especially Chloe. Unfortunately, he couldn't accept Chloe's apology nor would he ever be able to forgive her for what caused the group to do. He also expected himself to hold a grudge against her since she practically led the crew to their graves.
Jason jumped when he heard the stage light crack and saw Sophie collapse- shit!
Jason- "..."
He ran toward Sophie then knelt beside her, then he rested his hand on her shoulder.
More or less shell-shocked by everything that had happened, Quinn had been quiet, watching everything. He knew he wasn't a fighter and couldn't rebel, so the best he could do was pay attention. Only Sophie's injury knocked him out of his state and he went over.
Quinn- "Good lord, Sophie!"
Trevor - "..."
Trevor only acted upset for the benefit of his allies. Sophie's behavior at this time was justified, but Trevor thought she had an obnoxious character and appreciated this turn of events.
(ORIGINALLY...)
Ru- "....! ELI!" He had kept quiet and to himself for most of this, but this was too much. He crouched by Eli and suddenly felt like crying. It had all come to a head for him, and this was the final straw in everything.
Divine help me.
I should have never let August convince me to do this.
He put his hands over his face while crouching on the ground like well-dressed frog, and hoped he didn't look too actively silly.
DAMMIT DAMMIT.
His hopes were crushed with it, but there were more questions; Why did vampires need to have other vampires around? Why hadn't Chloe warned them? How could she be nonchalant about ruining their lives?
Babette seemed so at ease with all of this. He felt a tinge of betrayal.
