Jack passed the threshold like nuthin'. Ryder- "Man did you get a contact high or what?"
Jack- "No, but you might." Ryder- "Wuuuut."
And new canon Eli made three...
The gente entered the upstairs of the club. The place was dark but for vampire eyez and odd dim light sources. Ryder cleaved to his mans like the veriest babe. Up a slope, they saw Jason and some dudes sitting around with some purloined candles for light. A Vitus was there as well. Vitus- "Hey, it's some drug ... guys. Guys, these are Gabe, Luka, and Josh." Gabe- Luka- "Heey, I told you this "Never doubted it." Josh- place is wild." "Who are you all?" Eli- "Hey Jase, feeling any better? I'm Eli... Friends with these guys."
Jack- "Jack and Ryder. So, you guys having fun?"
Josh- "You know it! Man... I have a Gabe- good feeling about tonight. "Ha, you would. You were here like two minutes and these sexidudes were hanging out with you. Maybe I should hit the gym more." Eli- "Uh huh..."
Jack- Ryder- "I just got some weed, anyone like to join us?" "There's too many heads to be poppin' with that 'let my friend hit' bit."
Eli- "That's blunt. ... Har har."
Jason- Vitus- "..." "I think we could all use some libation. I mean, if there aren't enough marihuana cigarettes, I'll buy alcohol."
Josh- "I dunno, man, we're all already a bit wasted." Jack- "Cool, well, maybe the three Ryder- of us will go for a walk." "Or y'all could go for a walk and we get this spot."
Eli- "You know... where to go, so anything's fine with me."
Jack and Eli heard secret Vitus vocalz.
Vitus- "He's a bit small for the two of you. Sure you don't want to figure this out?"
Jason- Vitus- "..." "Well, OK, the designated driver could take it easy, but shouldn't the rest of us, you know, have a good time?"
Gabe- Josh- "Arggh! We should all just cab it." "Oh what a night..." Eli- "Goddamn that shit is weird... Uhh I'm not really... I can you know, whatever."
Jack- "It's cool, I can show Eli Ryder- around a bit. My treat." "With your loot, everything's your treat, my dude."
Eli- "Thanks...?"
Jason- Vitus- "Maybe we should..." "*secret talkin*"
Luka- "Yeah, not feeling like a big scene. Go on." Vitus- '' Alright, I'll help Jason get blood through these guys. Make sure Eli is well, Jack." Jack- "Peace out guys, have fun."
Eli- "Yeah, uh, good luck, Jason..." Jack shuffled those guys off, keeping a cool demeanor. They reciprocated in easy goin' style, save Jason, who was visibly a bit bothered. Jack- "I saw a park a block over, probably Ryder- wouldn't get hassled for lighting up." "Such a beast exists?"
Eli- "Hope I'm not third-wheeling too hard here..."
Jack- "Nah, it's fine. Weed is for Ryder- sharing with friends." "Oh to be able to afford thinking like that."
Jack led the crew to the somewhat spooksome and empty park. To Ryder, it would just be faintly stank, but it was rather biological to the two undeads. Jack feigned glancing around, but it was obvious enough that the place was empty. Jack passed around the stuff and casually brushed a hand over his ear as he made eye contact with Eli. Jack (whisper) - "Try not to 'smoke' too much of it, we can save it for later."
Eli- "Mn, yes. Man this stuff is pretty uh-- extreme."
Jack- "Nothing but the best. Let me know when Ryder- you're feeling it, so we can commence "Are you serious? ...Well, the shithouse philosophy." I guess we should have some- thing to do besides count rats."
Eli hopped up to sit on a utility box, and Jack took the nearby bench. Ryder sat by himself, small next to Jack. He was tense, avoiding touching anyone.
Sadly, Eli was not getting any effect from the weed itself, other than some vague psychological notion that it should be calming. Jack was an epicenter of chill though, and made a good show of kicking back. They were going to drink this kid's blood-- ugh-- ugh, don't think of that... Jack- "What can put us in the right frame of Ryder- mind? Um, tell us about your dreams." "Nuh."
Eli- "It's so weird when people say that old ambitious shit when they get asked that. Like 99 percent of us just want to be okay, have a little fun and get our needs met. Then like, Archibald wants to enrich his community or some shit. Yeah right."
Ryder- "That's funny, but I don't think Jack- it's what he meant by dreams." "He's right. I meant, can you trip out faster if you think about your dreams? Doesn't work for me because reasons, but if you're the kind of guy that dreams about flying 'n' shit...?"
Eli- "Oh! Haha, ummm... I usually just have dreams that I can't find my shoes, but I did have one the other day that the Buzzy Bonnet's mascot was real and had a Social Link account and kept sending me threatening messages. Then it sort of turned into a road trip dream with me and Buzz-Bee only we were friends. My car's wheels were shooting sparks all the time but it was okay because I did it on purpose for style? Weird."
Ryder- Jack- "Holy shit, that was too action packed. "Hm... better..." Like.... How do you get any sleep?"
Eli- "Oh and there was like, this song on the radio that was so cool. You know how that happens but then you wake up and it's not real. And you try to remember it and it's actually kind of lame when you think about it with your conscious mind, but you enjoyed it at the time so that's still nice."
Ryder- "OK, OK, I think... You're still freaking Jack- me out, but I kinda got a handle on it. It's "We can definitely keep like, it's OK because in the dream you feel this going, like... a slow different from how you'd feel if sparks roast in a crock pot." were flying 'n' shit, like, I-R-L."
Eli- "Yeah, that's exactly it. Hey, you ever have an iced lemonade? That shit is so good in the summer."
Ryder- "Right, heh, yeah, uh... How can you Jack- be thinking about summer in this- but-" "You can do it. C'mon." "-you disfuncted my chain of thoughts! I'm not that high but you just made it look like I am. Not cool."
Eli- "Oh damn, I didn't get to try Wintertime Freezies... Always meant to. Maybe I'll do it anyway even if it isn't..."
Eli- "I uh, I wonder if you didn't have to eat anymore, would you forget what Freezies taste like? Maybe you could remember in dreams... But maybe you'd mix up what like, grape and orange taste like. And you wouldn't know, like, someone's talking about Grape Blast and you're just imagining Tangerine Twist."
Jack- "Oh, I had them before but I didn't get a chance to try them this year. Ryder- Y'know, like, the new slate." "Wintertime freezies don't make any, any sense. Talk to me about that kind of stufff in the summer. Now? Like, time for cider and warm dessert pies."
Eli- "Oh...! I didn't really-- I didn't think you might be my age, Jack. I figured everyone was..."
Eli- "Well you know, out of college or whatever. Like, too cool for the Freezies. Best pie? Lemon, I say."
Jack- "Oh yeah, man, you have a lot to catch up on, and we just came straight out for this scene. Once Ryder is too stoned, maybe we-" Ryder- "Bullshit, man! You are NOT outlastin' Ryder Lautrec at a smoke-off!" Eli- "Heh, bring it, candy floss..."
The vampire boys got Ryder too stoned to resist le sleep whammy... Jack- Ryder- "Take a nap, my dude." "REFUSAL!"
Jack- Ryder- "Aww, sleepy boy." " zzz "
Jack- "So it sucks we can't eat Freezies, but this isn't too messed up once you're used to it."
Eli stubbed out the blunt carefully, that had to have been worth a fortune! Eli- "Haha, ah, yeah. So he's just sleeping? You did that? Like um, in the old movies, with the eyes."
Jack- "Yeah, I've had a surprising amount of practice, given I was turned last week. Funny how fast you can become an 'old hand' at some new shit. You alright though?" Eli- "Wow, just last week? So it wasn't just the movie crew..." Eli- "Yeah I think I'm okay. I haven't really processed it, kinda just going from one drama to the next. Don't know when it will hit me... Thanks though, I think this is helping."
Jack- "I feel like I need to tell you everything, but we should start with drinking this guy's blood. Just you, we'll make it easy as we can on him."
Eli- "Oh, sure... Ah, how... do I do it? Do we have, like, fangs?"
He approached the bench cautiously, trying to not wake the slumberer. Jack- "Yes, but don't worry about your fangs. All they do is come into your mouth when you're hungry and make your smile creepy. I'll just use a knife."
Eli- "Ah, mn, okay..."
He got as close as he dared, and stood watching with wide eyes, his hands folded to his chest. Jack moved off hand close as he made a cut on Ryder's arm.
Jack- "So... You see how I'm holding it down? Don't want him to lose more blood than necessary. Move your hand in and do that for me, then drink some blood, and cover it back up right away, OK? When you do that, keep your hand in place for me."
Eli took a sharp intake of air at the sight of the wound, but stood his ground. He stooped down and took over, his fingers grazing Jack's cold hand on the human's warm skin. Eli- "Uh-- uh, right..." The awkwardness of the scene almost distracted him from his natural instincts, as he drank blood for the first time... He wasn't incredibly hungry, but he still had to steel himself to stop early, like taking just one tiny bite of a delicious chocolate cake. He experienced a feeling of magical magic. You are the el Brujo, Elias. The next thing he knew, Jack's hand displaced his own over the wound. Eli- "Oh shit, oh fuuuuck. This is brutal. Whoaahhhoh, I'm high as fuck, dude." Jack- "Okay. This is important. He won't be asleep for long. Focus on the sound of my voice. Stay with me, bro."
Eli- "Y-yeah. But like... damn, man." Jack- "Our blood can heal wounds, even for other people - like, a little. So if you can cut yourself and make a little blood come out, you can put your hand back in here, and make his cut close." He was a bit hesitant to cut himself on the knife, but once he did, it didn't have the same visceral pain that it would have as a human. It was still enough to pop him out of his weed-y reverie though. He cringed a bit as he sealed the wound. All of this was so grisly, could he really become inured to it? He tried to chill back into his fugue, but the feeling kept gnawing at him.
Eli- "This is so weird... It's not like I have a phobia of blood, but I'm used to freaking out if someone's hurt." Jack- "Yeah, a guy could wonder if it's doing something to him. Being a vampire, you get at least a little cold. But the older vampires have been around a long time and some of them aren't totally the worst."
Eli- "That one-- Wilhelm, he's one of the youngest? I can't... I can't even fathom it. I'm glad you're our age, at least. There are others too? Vitus, he's not though, is he?" Jack- "Nope. Chloe says Wilhelm is pretty old-fashioned too. That means the only people you'll be able to easily relate to are Tristan, Darren, and me, plus your friends."
Eli- "Oh my gosh, that party... everyone seems like characters from a dream by now. So the kids-- like the... literal kids, they're ancient vampires? I know that happens in movies and everything but it's just so creepy." Jack- "I guess so. Didn't think of it that way. Thierry and Helen were pretty damn young when they got turned. Not cool... Anyways, before Ry-dogg wakes up, you want the rundown on what's been going on?"
Eli- "Oh for real, I know almost nothing. It'd be nice to hear it from someone who isn't a million years old too." Jack- "OK, so the world has vampires and they're kinda territorial. As big as Harlan is, it's only got the vamps you saw in that room, and, well, I'll get into the other ones later. Anyhow, that vampire bunch, called 'The Circle', decided to recruit a bunch of babies. They started the other week with Chloë and the rest of us, then picked up you guys just now. Got it?"
Eli- "Wow... Okay. And I'm guessing you don't know the 'why' of that situation?" Jack- "Depends on whether or not it was Demetri's idea. He acts like it wasn't and I hope so, but if it wasn't his idea, then I don't know who or why. Right."
Eli- "*sigh* I figured it wouldn't be that easy. Demetri... who's that? Is there some kind of boss vampire? Like the uh, the... chancellor... or something..."
Jack totally wouldn't know that particular nerd RPG reference. Jack- "Ehh... Did you hear what progenitors are? They're people that became vampires when they died, like, for vengeance or whatever. You and I are turned vampires. The progenitors are the big bosses- Sombreta, Dragomir, Greyburn, uh, Marchesi? and the short one. Out of those guys, Dragomir seems most like a boss."
Eli- "Okay, phew... Folklore really mixed that stuff up. So are they the only ones who can make new vampires? Or wait-- no, there were the other old ones... I guess I don't need to know every little detail right now. What does all this mean to us? We're just vampire slaves?" Jack- "That's it in a nutshell. I'm too new to be really used to this yet. It all seems so tenuous. Like, the youngest old vampires are always doing this shell game to keep us babies from getting hurt by the oldest old types? I think, maybe with more babies, that actually makes it easier to distract them."
Eli- "Yikes... I don't... wanna sound like all faux-humble, but I'm really just a regular kid. What am I doing here? Sure, August is the cool director and the actors are all glamorous, but... Me, Courtney, Cameron... I don't get it. We're not like, vampire material." Jack- "What's vampire material? The progenitors are random weirdos, so maybe they're into getting random people?" Jack- "Er, sorry. Everyone's cool, I'm sure. I mean, I met you all, I know you are. But no one should be vampire material, so maybe it's better to be normal. You don't want to be Nick the Cutter."
Eli- "Hah, that was the weird fucker with the... yeah. Well, thanks, I guess..."
Eli- "I just hope being a rando won't mean that the... pr...progenitor will wanna ditch me at the smallest fuck up. Like I'm some minimum wage vampire. Ugh, quit one menial job and right back into another." Jack- "I get the impression they almost never turn new vampires, so while it's hard to have a clue what they'll do, probably it ain't putting us out with the trash. I really do think Wilhelm's... guy wanted to make that movie too, weird as it seems."
Eli- "Yeah, it does seem like it. Guess the rest of us were along for the ride. But... if they hardly ever do it, wonder why they were in such a hurry to get a bunch of us at once? Maybe they're just weird enough to act on a random whim?" Jack- "It really seems like it. Getting you guys was a late change of plans, all on Marchesi. If he hadn't been in the Circle, how would things have been different for you all?"
Eli- "I guess we'd just be getting ready for midterms. So, this is a bit worse."
Eli- "Hey, that uh... that Vitus guy. Is he okay?" Jack- "Total patsy for The Man, but otherwise fine."
Ryder began to stir, as if from a bad dream. Eli got up to 'stretch' faux-casually.
Eli- "Y'know, I was distracted for bit, but I'm still feeling it... Nice. That shit's real. So if I uh, smoked more, I'd feel it more? In moderation..."
Ryder- Jack- "OH MY FUCKING GOD what kind of "What? You sure you sick ass weed lords are you two? FUCK!" aren't losing your touch?"
Eli- "We gotta do this again, only like, somewhere comfy with an Alessandro Oro flick playing in the background. That shit's off the chain when you're stoned."
Ryder- Jack- "Cool, cool... Hey Jack..." "Yes Ryder?" "I fuck-king haaaate yooooou..." With that, the weed lords took care to assure the well being of the human in their charge, and thence proceeded to meet up with their fellows...

Vitus led Jason back to where they'd parked outside the club, the car wedged in awkwardly from Vitus's shitty parking job. Jason was feeling pretty alright, he'd been so hungry before but he'd had more than enough boozy blood by now. The effects were wearing off faster than they had in life, and he only felt the faintest remnant of a buzz. His supernatural senses were still a surprise at times, the way he could hear distant conversations clearly, or the sound of moth wings beating against a distant streetlamp.
It was a little strange, having spent so much time seducing random guys only to ditch them at the club. But less effort than doing more, and maybe Jason was glad to not have to worry about taking things further. Jack and Eli had dropped by briefly to say hello, before they'd taken their human for a walk to get their own blood. Was going the weed-y route easier than this nightclub scene?
The parking lot was already emptying, and the passing fireballs walked a bit sluggishly. It was a good time to leave. Vitus- "Jack says they're walking back now, just be a few minutes." Music from multiple clubs joined in a strange cacophony and rattled the car doors as Vitus opened them. He sat in the driver seat, and looked a bit ghastly pale in the dim light. He glanced over at Jason. Vitus- "It's difficult at first. Like getting those guys drunk and going through all that conversation... We should probably teach you hypnosis soon." The awkward silence and the hypnotic scenery had Jason pondering. Watching as the fireballs passed he reflected on what happened prior to the car ride. A night of seducing men wasn't exactly his personal strong point. From his point of view, it was to his benefit getting that guy drunk; killing two birds with one stone. On another hand, seduction was a long and drawn out process... sex being even longer. Shameless to admit it, he didn't even know how that would work with everything about him being so different from before... physically that is. Though knowingly, this was a spring of luck; If he wanted to feed in the future he had to think of another tact. This had him in a loop. If this was just one aspect of being dead, imagine how much of a struggle the rest of his immortality would be. As Vitus broke the silence, Jason- "Hypnosis? That shit's actually legitimate?" He paused. "That would've been useful to known beforehand. The entire time I was just standing there wondering how this sex this is going to go down if I don't know..."
Jason- "Does it even...you know." Lowering his voice as if people were actually around. "Work still?"
Vitus- "Does it still... Oh! Haha, ah, yes... It's a bit different, of course. You sort of have to 'will it' into the preferred state. I'm sure you can, ah, uh, do some practice on your own..." Vitus- "Anyway... yes, hypnosis. It's not too difficult, especially just to knock a person out. It's easier if you get them sleepy to begin with. If you prefer to not take things 'all the way', you'll definitely want to work on that. You could work on that with your friend Eli, there. Sounds like he preferred to be a bit more chaste." He glanced down the road as two non-fiery figures walked into view. It would be very easy to pick vampires out of crowds now, it seemed. Jason- "'Will it'? So what your telling me is... uh, no uncontrollable baby Jason anymore? What type of witchcraft sorcery type of shit is that?" Not that he was complaining. Vitus- "Haha, yeah, that's uh, it's a nice side effect. Comes in handy. Err, so to speak... Just don't go overboard, or you'll wear yourself out. Um, much as in life."
Jason- "And its not that I don't want to go 'all the way'. That's the easy part, the hard part is figuring out how you know.. it works. Just wait until we get back to the estate I'm going to..." He paused realizing he was about to explain the unnecessary messy details of how he was going to revisit his junior high escapades to Vitus.
Vitus- "I think you'll do just fine with all this. I don't think your tough demeanor is just superficial, you'll be able to adapt a lot better than your average young vampire." The walkers were close enough now to wave, and Vitus turned to wave back and started the engine. Vitus- "I'll let you handle the 'tunes,' I've embarrassed myself enough being a fuddy duddy, heh." Jason smiled to himself in response. After everything he had been through, he never really gave Vitus or any of the other vampires a chance. In hindsight, he'd never exactly anthropomorphized these creatures, imagining them as otherworldly beings and heartless killers without feelings and sympathy; though he himself was one. But the way Vitus spoke to him with such an awkward, shy, and joking manner he realized that he and Vitus weren't as separated as he thought. And maybe assimilating into this new culture wasn't as hard as he was making it out to be. Though far from, he still was human. For the first time since his death, he actually felt comfortable. Jason- "Just a forewarning, I think you might regret giving me that type of power." He turned the stereo dial from static to station until he found what he was looking for.
It was pop wonder, Treyoncé and her hit single, ALL THE SINGLE PEOPLE!! Jason- "Ha, can't say you didn't bring this on yourself." He turned the volume up. While they waited, he shifted his gaze towards the rear view mirror to put in his septum piercing.
Vitus- "Oh yes, I remember this one from those biscuit commercials. Good stuff." The cab light flashed on as the doors opened and two familiar corpses entered the car, bringing in the DANKEST AROMA HOLEE SHIT. They seemed lucid enough, though.
Eli and Jack slid in the back seat. Jack- "All the single vampires, Eli- in the place to be." "Nice, who could be in a bad mood with Queen Tre playing? Feeling better with some uh, food in you, Jace?"
Jason- "Hey guys. Yeah I'm actually feeling a lot..." And then he realized what the smell was and put the pieces together.
Jason- He shook his head in disgust, "I'm so ashamed in you both. After a night out, you both come crawling back and filling up the entire car with that goddite forsaken smell after smoking a magical joint you probably got from dope dealing unicorn with a criminal record of indecent exposure and soliciting drugs to minors. Yet, you expect us to be friends and casually listen to Treyoncés' hit single that's been number one on the billboard chart for three weeks now? How can you just act like that never happened? Poor Vitus is probably getting a contact high."
Jason- "You couldn't AT LEAST bring me one joint?"
Vitus- "Oh I'm fine with the marihuana, I've been around..." Jack- "Well, I just might have half a blunt or so left over for any good boys..." Eli- "Sadly it's not so easy as just smoking it now... Jack- Gotta make friends with the stoners." "What, our scintillating conversations and quick wits aren't enough?" Eli- "Doesn't hurt, that's for sure..." Vitus- "Oh wow this all reminds me of those films. With those two guys... always smoking the marihuana joints in their van. Those were funny. I guess those were more popular a few years ago..." Jack- "Yeah, like before my oldest Eli- brother was born." "Damn that's weird... And you're one of the younger ones, huh?" Vitus put the car into gear and drove out into the swiftly emptying streets. Vitus- "Yeh, the third youngest. I like to think I'm still fairly hip... No? That's not... hip to say, is it..."
In response to the spunky stoned kids in the back seat,
Jason- "....Only half a blunt?"
Jason- "I can deal with that."
To Vitus,
Jason- "Vitus..you? You've been around? Now this is some shit I gotta hear." Clearing his throat, "I'm surprised. Not that thats a bad thing, its just that I..uh.. wouldn't expect you as the wacky tobaccy, bubonic chronic, sticky icky, reefer smoking kinda guy. Given that you're like my great grandpappy's great uncles' grandmother's age- I know for a fact you've done some crazy shit back in your younger years. I just couldn't see you as rebellious type of guy. You seem like the conforming type of guy."
Vitus- "OK, if those are all words for the reefer, and you're not pulling my leg, I'll explain. It wasn't a big deal back then. It only became illegal a few decades after the White Death because bored politicians needed an angle to exploit. From what I can tell, I was more Eli than Jason."
Jack- "Ha, our great grannies and grandads getting high as fuck. Maybe that's why they were so solemn in those old photos-- hadn't got their fix yet." Eli- "Man that's so wild, you could give us the inside scoop on history. Wasn't my favorite subject, but if it's about smoking ganj and wild parties, that might change my mind." Jack- "He's got some interesting stories if you can get him off his phone for a minute." Eli- "Dude... being immortal. This is Jack- real? I can't even process it." "Well, you have forever to consider it."
Jason- "Eli don't worry too much about it. Think of it as a second chance that never ends. Look at it this way - you never grow old, you get to be whoever you want to be, you don't get hungry, your balls never get wrinkly. I don't know..I haven't actually thought about it these past couple days. Kinda haven't had the time to think about it."
Finally, it hit him. The feeling of nostalgia overcame him. Recalling the memories of his family and friends he'd never see again - the experiences he would never get to experience. How he'd never get to see his mother grow old or his older brother graduate college; thinking about his life prior would just drag him into an even deeper hole. Being caught up in his own selfishness since the incident, he forgot to consider everything BEFORE and how "easy" he had it. Honestly, Jason still couldn't believe it. The entire "immortal" thing seemed like an apprehension. In the back of his head he still felt human - like he'd grow old and age. But the amount of incom- prehensible events he'd witnessed these past few nights? Though he'd deny it, it was enough proof for him.
Jason- He knit his brows and paused before he spoke, thinking of a way to word his question, "...You guys every think about how things were before?" Eli- "Ha, that's one way to phrase it. Jack- Yeah, yeah I guess that's true..." "Yep, you don't really think about those things as a young person though. Guess we'll come to appreciate the whole non- aging thing later."
Vitus- "Maybe so..." He had a sad thought he withheld. Eli- Jack- "Remember before? You mean..." "Oh, like human lives? Well, that wasn't too long ago for some of us. Hard to forget..."
Vitus- "I suppose depending on how much of an alcoholic you were, Jason, your human life could be a more distant memory than it is for your friends. A bit like waking up from a long bender, I imagine?"
Jason- "Killing off brain cells, huh? I remember the overall picture of things with emotions... I uh, just don't remember some of the fine details now that I think about it."
Jason- "I shoulda quit all that substance abuse shit while I had the chance. I guess now is not too late to change; not that I have a choice in the matter. I don't crave it... I don't rely on it. And I guess what I did a couple hours ago definitely doesn't show some growth.
He thought about some sad shit. For a moment there, he seemed a little more empathetic, like maybe this new life was changing him. "I should've hit that blunt with you, Jack and Eli. I bet that shit was fire as fuck." Never the less, It was cute while it lasted. Eli- "It was pretty good, kind of short-lived for that much money though..." Jack- "Hey, we're flush now, so don't worry about that... But Jason, you'll be alright. I was a pretty wild kid too. I did get cleaned up and we ended up in the same place."
Jason- "Jack, you don't seem like the murder-y type. But hey, I guess there is a little hope." Jack- "Haha, ah, yeah not Eli- that kind of wild kid..." "I think you're right about the hope thing. It's not so bad... yet. Right?" Vitus- "Why is murder being mentioned? No murder, please. These are civilized times, guys." Jason- "I'd say yes Eli, but someone else might think otherwise."
Jason- "And this may be civilized but I know you secretly like to get down to the nitty gritty though Vitus. But fine, fine. I'll respect your wishes, no more messy details. Where are we heading to anyway?" Jack- Eli- "*sigh* Back to the Casa..." "Yeah, about that... where will we uh, sleep. Assuming we sleep..." Vitus- "I'm just going to take this as innocent nonsense... Yeah, we're just going back to the estate. You'll have rooms ready. They'll have some of your old stuff in 'em, sans internet connection and phone service for now. I'm hoping we're coming home late enough that we won't have too much Angela time." Jason- "Angela cant be that bad I'm assuming... right?" Jack- "Depends on what you Eli- think is bad I guess..." "Most things people think are bad, I also think are bad. That doesn't Jack- sound good." Oh she's just like someone's pervy Aunt. If like, that Aunt was also a serial killer." Vitus- "Hey, she tries... after a fashion. In a way. In her way. I mean, you're not wrong, in that it's best to avoid her. Which is what we'll do." Jason- "Pervy aunt? What a great edition to the family. And what's Gaston-Louis? The killer yet over the top grandma?" Jack- Eli- "Ahaha, I like that analogy, "Kinda hard to avoid someone who and I wish it were true." lives in the same house as you, isn't it?"
Jack- "It's a big house at least..." Vitus- "That's the spirit. Well, you'll learn how to make an art of it. Excuses, lioness taming..." Jason- "Lioness taming? I don't know if you're being literal or if that's code. But after so many years of living with them, I'm sure you've become accustomed to their...um situations. With avoiding Angela's pervert- edness and Gaston-Louis's Gastoness, I don't know how you two do it." Vitus- "Jack's only been at it a few nights, so I'm sure he doesn't know how he does it either, yet. Just the same, I think we can manage. She's really calmed a lot over the years. Just give me room to work. Don't try to throw yourself in front of her on a friend's behalf, or anything else too, er, stimulating." Jack- "Yeah, like... you know when there's that guy that goes to all the parties, named like Shabby Jim and everyone says watch your back around that guy and like, cover your drink 'cause he's got infectious diseases or likes drugging strangers? It's sorta like that." Eli- "Yikes, glad my parties were far less exciting."
"Oh everyone knows someone like that, don't you? Old Saddlebags is on methadone again so he's a bit stabbier than normal so don't pass out at his house. You know?" Eli- "..."
Jason- "Stabbier than normal? Yeah I think we all definitely know that one guy. And good comparison. I never considered Angela as a Shabby Jim kinda woman. So for one, try not to be alone with her and two, don't... throw yourself at her? I don't have the slightest clue who would do come crazy shit s like that - actually, now that I think about it, I used to know a guy who would do some crazy shit like that. He was a little crazy and impulsive him- self but I guess that's a story for another chapter, eh? Actually, I'm surprised I can talk about Angela and Gaston Louis so casually, I always feel like they're going to pop up out of nowhere." Vitus- "Oh yeah, I guess the popping is always a risk. Best to keep it quiet." Vitus- "Sounds like you're getting it though."
They were out of the thick of businesses and headed toward familiar territory - back to the estate. Jack- "Yeah, it'll be fine. It's a big place, just... you know, you guys can be careful. It's like when one of your parents is drunk and taking a nap and you just close the cupboards really quietly." Eli- "...Oh sure, yeah." Jack noted the changing scenery. Jack- "But hey, it's gonna be pretty nice to have people my age around. I mean, you're probably a couple years younger but way closer than, y'know, a century." Eli- "True! That's just math..." And soon thereafter, they pulled into their new home like a carload of Charles Dickens characters, to timidly cower in their rooms until the dawn swept them under...EVERYTHING from here on out is no longer canon.(ORIGINALLY...) Something happened there, before the stuff with Jason being called.
((Mayhap it will be edited in later, but for now, proceed with the outdoors styled RP. I believe it is Jason's turn.))

(ORIGINALLY...)Jason slightly smiled as he rested his thumbs on the inside of his pockets. He decided to be honest about the situation even though he actually very much hated opening up to people considering he didn't have any close friends excluding Eddy and possibly his brother, Gunnar.
"Not to sound like a sap or anything but, to be completely honest, I was hoping that my first time would be with someone who actually cares about me...you know? I never really met someone who I actually had those feelings for in that way.. so I was hoping -never mind.
Sorry if I seem kinda soft right now, taking to people about my personal life isn't really my thing. Thanks for looking out for me though.. I never really had someone like that for me. I'm so use to being on my own most of the time so try not to think that I'm pushing you away or anything like that." Jason put Eli in a gentle headlock as he began to ruffle through Eli's hair in a teasing yet moderate manner. He smiled as he did this- he knew that Eli was trying to make light out of the situation. "Hey! I've been shot and it didn't kill me so I doubt that loosing my virginity will," Once again, he smiled as he said this. He attempted to prevent Eli from feeling bad about him- he didn't like to burden people when it came to people feeling sympathy for him. ((YEARS LATER GM EDIT: By this point I really should have been thinking about the age of one of the players and how I shouldn't allow or encourage them to RP sexy situations - even with fades to black. I was basically in a "recreate events from the comic" mode, and in the comic Vitus takes Jack to seduce people for blood. It was a bad mistake that set a bad tone and bad precedent. But unlike some shameful bastards, I'm not deleting the record to hide my shame. In the following, anywhere there are deleted shit Eli posts that I haven't filled with conjecture, you can see he was pushing the erotic angle. And in my GM posts, you can see I was being foolish enough to not cut this short, bail out Jason's player. Live and learn...))

(ORIGINALLY...)Jason turned to Josh as his distance between him and the jock decreased. He smiled as he thought of a way to cover up his disappearance before.
"Sorry for bailing out like that before. I thought I saw someone I knew so I decided to go check it out. Unfortunately it wasn't who I thought it was.. just some crazy drunk guy with a love for cherry vodka." He slightly cringed at the word vodka as he realized that he really did miss alcohol...

(ORIGINALLY...) He nervously dropped his cigarette and looked even more fiery than before. Very quietly, they could hear his heartbeat get louder. Josh- "Oh, god, no problem, ha, cherry vodka, yeah... Hoo... So, Um... Uh..."
He paused to take a deep breath, exhaling fire like a dragon trying to get comfortable.
Josh- "Yeah, it's cool. So... you wanted to come to, er, my place?"

(ORIGINALLY...) ((I'm all about a tasteful fade to black when it moves from flirting to foreplay, because I don't want to "cyber" with my players - but I don't feel the need to expedite yet. Play on.)) (size edited for emphasis after the fact ---how fewlish i was)
Josh- "Oh. I got a ride. Is that a problem?"
He seemed prepared to be disappointed.

(ORIGINALLY...) Josh- "Er, me, nervous? No way. I'm cool, man. I'm into adventure."
In theory. In practice, this man has never adventured.

(ORIGINALLY...) Josh- "Cool. I gotta let Gabe and Luka know I'm not around, then I'll meet you out here?"
He also started to head back inside.

(ORIGINALLY...)Vitus came outside & handed Eli the keys. Vitus- "Well, here you go. I'll still be keeping an eye, or at least an ear on you, within the limits of discretion. Don't bother trying to spot me, but say something if you need me. Any--"
The Josh returned. Josh- "Hey guys, I - whoa. Hello."
Vitus- "Hello. You met my friends Eli and Jason?"
Josh- "Mm, yeah. How do you, er, know--?"
Vitus- "Oh, sometimes we get together and have a good time. Good guys. What was your name again?"
Josh- "Josh." Vitus- "Pleased to meet you. Well, I suppose I should be moving along..."

(ORIGINALLY...) Jason rubbed the side of his neck nervously as his mind somewhat drifted else where. The thought of loosing his virginity was a bit unsettling for him to think about at the time. In a strange way, he was never really one of those guys who bragged about ''wanting to have sex'' or ''loosing their virginity too some chick who had low or or no self-esteem''...he just didn't roll like that..
But then again, he was too busy focusing on his tattoo career or trying not to get killed by his old gang (which was a hastle).
As he thought about it more he realized that Eli's words were settling in its own way. " Damn..I could use a drink,'' he wispered to himself.
