Ru- "Well, I thought that Demetri guy was nice, and um, I think I got on ok with Wilhelm, and uh, Ellen I think it was. I'm not sure about the others. A couple of them were.. a little weird. What about you?" He looks a little awkward and rubs the back of his arm while staring into space next to Eli's head. "You seem cheery."

Eli- "Oh sorry, too chipper? I'll try to tone it down. Yeah there were some real mega-weirdos. I guess that's allowed when you're some fancy type. Leo recognized some of the weirdos but I didn't know anyone. Oh, except that musician guy, haha what a wacky dude. I wonder what August thought, kinda weird to meet your heroes, yeah?"

Ru- "Just because I am all gloom doesn't mean everyone has to be gloomy... The Belfries fellow, he seemed...distracted but I am sure August was glad to meet him. It wasn't the most glamorous music legend meeting I've had but it could have been worse..." He seemed thoughtful. "How does she know them? I suppose you're bound to know when you're in the field..."

Eli- "Ha, I wonder if when we get famous we're gonna get all surly and strange. Somehowww, I don't think so. Yeah she knew the fashion guy--" His look soured for a moment. Eli- "My poor sketchbook... Err, anyway, guess he's a big figure in that scene. I didn't get on with him so well, that uh, the CEO guy and friends either. Hard to imagine anyone getting on to well with them though..."

Ru- "I don't know if people become that way because of money. Maybe if you're born with money and used to having it. Maybe they inherited it? Or maybe since no one ever says no they just act the way they do...I hope we don't end up that way. We're all strange, but not in a bad way..." He rubs the back of his head. "Yeah... I don't know, well, maybe this will be Babette's big break. I just hope none of them end up getting creepy about this. It happens."

Eli- "I'm sure it will be her big break and August... I think they're nice enough to give the rest of us a boost too. I hope at least, as far as I'm concerned. But yeah, guess you gotta deal with some creeps if you're in the business..."
Eli- "But you'll be around to give them what-for! We'll get some brass knuckles from Leo to carry in your lapel pocket."
((Woo we're getting so much done! Great job so far. Btw how late are you on tonight?))

((I think I should probably tuck in soon, but I'm available other days too)) "Right, right, she has those on hand... I wish a tough person like that was a good friend of mine... Babette would probably wield knuckles better than me though. She may not look it, but she's tough..."

((No problem, just let me know when's the next good time for you! I'll queue up some more posts, we'll get to some more original ones once we're out of the hospital too, which should be fun. And we could do some scenes w/ DK when she's available.)) Eli- "Heh, Leo's more likely to cut herself at this rate, but she at least looks intimidating and probably keeps the bad guys at bay."
Eli- "You're right, Babette would filet anybody who looked at her cross-eyed, I'm sure. ...Now that I'm thinking about Leo and her self-stabbing tendencies, I should probably go make sure she's not poked a new hole in herself..."

Ru- "That's right...I'd go check on her. She seems like she's doing alright but I've never been good at reading her... I'll see you later." Ru lets Eli return to the company of his friends! Go forth Eli! (And I'll pursue maximum nappage now. Thank you for the session! )

(( Skullbooty - recompiling the most recent bit of convo for yr benefit, since there was a few pages of jararruption.)) Jason- "Angela cant be that bad I'm assuming...right? Jack- "Depends on what you think is bad I guess..." Eli- "Most things people think are bad, I also think are bad. That doesn't sound good." Jack- 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- "Ahaha, I like that analogy, and I wish it were true." Eli- "Kinda hard to avoid someone who lives Jack- in the same house as you, isn't it?" "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 perverted- ness 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?" "..."

"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 himself 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."

(( Skullbooty dang we had some biz going on and forgot about this, sorry.)) 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."
