(ORIGINALLY...)
Downstairs,
Eli had cooled his jets a bit, maybe feeble Vitus reassurances helped.
Vitus-
"She's a little whirlwind tonight. How well did you know her before, Eli?"
Downstairs,
Vitus-
"I wonder who's going to come? Sounds like a crowd."
Eli had cooled his jets a bit, maybe feeble Vitus reassurances helped.
Eli-
"Yeah... do you remember any of the rest
of us? I know it was a lot of people."
Vitus-
"Wow, just put me... right on that spot, huh? How'd
last night go with the marihuana angle, as it were?"
Eli-
"Ha, I wasn't busting, I was just curious. Wondered if it's like how
teachers don't remember students as well as we remember them.
Oh we had a good ol' time. That'd probably be an expensive way
to do it on the regular though, huh?"
Vitus-
"Heh, wouldn't worry about that-- ah. First arrival?"
They both heard people coming up the steps, apparently from
a car they'd heard earlier, but hadn't noticed the significance of
in that moment. A servant showed Chloë through the door...
Chloë-
"Hi Vitus, is-- oh. Ah..."
She saw Eli and remembered last night,
shrank in on her tiny self a bit.
Chloë-
"Um... Vitus?"
Vitus-
"You were here to see Jack?"
Eli-
"Chloë, oh wow! Man, it's nice to see a friendly face--"
Eli-
"Not that you aren't friendly, Vitus. You understand."
She did a little semi-circle
around Vitus and peered
at Eli.
Chloë-
"You don't... wanna yell at me?" Vitus-
"That's just silly."
Eli-
"Oh my gosh, of course not... I'm so sorry those guys had that freak out.
Everyone was so stressed and they shouldn't have taken it out on you.
Not like being a drama queen was gonna make us human again."
Eli-
"But are you okay? That had to be hard...
We were all worried about you."
Chloë-
"Who was worried? I mean-- I should wait for Jack."
Eli-
"Man, everyone... August, Babette, Ru, Quinn... I think
Cameron was about to bust some of the knuckleheads, haha."
Eli-
"He didn't. Don't worry. Anyway, I'll
let you be, I'm just glad to see you..."
Chloë-
"You're not just Vitus-
saying that?" "Of course. It would be super
weird for anyone to be mad at you."
Eli-
"It would be! You know those guys, punks are always whipping out
knives at each other and then they forget it tomorrow. They know
they were wrong and if they mess with you again, I'll give them a
rollicking. Hell, I might give them a rollicking anyway after we
do this training junk."
Chloë- Vitus-
"Really? A rollicking?" "You know it's real. None of
that rumpus and horseplay."
Eli-
"That's right! And everyone's super stoked to work on the new
film, so we gotta keep our starlet happy. So hey, you're friends
with Jack? He seems like a cool guy."
Vitus-
Chloë- "See? You're both friends with Jack now."
"Really?"
"Just hanging out with him last night."
Eli-
"Yeah, I had a great time. Oh my god that guy can get the funkiest
weed at a moment's notice. Don't know if that's a vampire power or..."
Chloë- Vitus-
"It's amazing, he really can." "Hey, man of the hour..."
Jack-
"Woof, what a night. Hey Eli, Chloë."
Eli-
"Hey, Jack. You two going to the training? I think poet
blouses are the uniform though, so you'll have to change..."
Jack-
"Training, huh? Already graduated, as they say."
Vitus-
Chloë- "Yeah, Jack isn't coming, I expect."
"That's right, I wanted to
have him come meet August and Babette and...
Wilhelm is getting the guys together tonight."
Eli-
"Aw man, don't let them forget me!
Storyboards are important, I swear..."
Chloë-
"Aww! I'll see what I can do."
Jack-
"I'm sure he'd fit in better there than I will, but OK, let's do it."
Eli-
"August and Co are total sweethearts, they'll love
you. Are you going to work on the film too?"
Jack-
"Sure, I'll do craft services."
Chloë-
"But we don't eat nothin'. You can probably just watch if you
want to. We can put on costumes and Wilhelm will probably
sing. It's pretty funny." Vitus-
"Heh, I'm just going to have a seat."
Eli-
"Sing? Oh wow, is it going to be a musical?"
Jack-
"Too bad I'm not the kind of gay that likes
Chloë- musicals, or this would be a perfect night."
"It's not a musical,
he just likes to sing. "Oh-kay. Can I wear a fancy hat?"
Chloë-
"You can wear two! I do sometimes, but it makes my neck tired."
Vitus-
"Sounds fun. Might be worth the pain."
Eli-
"Haha, you guys are so kooky."
Eli-
"Ohh training is not going to live up to
that. How quickly until I graduate?"
Vitus-
"Not long if I have any say in it."
Chloë-
"We'll see you again soon, Jack-
Eli. Thanks, it was nice!" "..."
Eli could tell Jack liked to see Chloë feeling better.
Those two peaced out, and it wasn't long before...
