Them Marchese boys finally called it in for the night, and I reckon they were fit to sleep the sleep of ages. Nonetheless, a small thing did sing to them, and each needed to find a resolution to that thought before the sun took him...
They had cellphones with internet access. They could break tha rules and contact a friend or family member on the sly, to who knows what consequences, or see if anyone on the internet has a support group for vampires or something. Or they could just call on of their homies and ask how the rest of their night went.
What did they do?

August huddled under his bedcovers, the light of the phone casting blue light, as the sun drew nearer and he could feel sleep starting to call to him. That wasn't going to stop this hambalos. He clicked his contacts and sent EVERYONE on it a photo they'd taken that night, showing August holding that beautiful Antearctan gun. You're all welcome. Try not to get to0 excited. Then with a conspiratorial look about his bed covers and a quick peep at Quinn, he drew his eyes back to his phone and huddled deeper into his blankets. It was much easier now that he didn't have to breath. That had always bothered him in the past. He wanted to check in on his sister, perhaps even find a way to tell her he was okay. First things first, though. He brought up Social Link and typed in the name: Lloyd French. He had to find out what that snarky parker was up to. Perhaps even send creepy voice messages like 'Whoooo this is August from the dorien's hell garden.... never make films again... whoooo'. Or something like that anyway. Yeah. It was totally not fair if Lloyd got to keep making movies, getting all the praise and recognition that was rightfully August's. Darn it!

First things first: Lloyd's website said nothing of note - just the same old crap about a movie he had been working on for the last several months. His Social Link included a re-post of the school's SL page promoting the service for them that weekend. It claimed he was attending, but he added no comment.

August text back to Babette: 'Crwbys? R u alr8? XXOO A.' August tightened his grip on the phone at Lloyd's page, that stupid movie about stupid people doing stupid things. Lloyd was so stupid. Who wanted to see a movie about a zombie fry cook? August called Lloyd's phone number angrily, jabbing each number individually on the screen. Maybe he needed some support after all? He listened to the dial tone with trepidation.
He kept his game face on. Grr. Could you erase memories via a phone? "..."

It went to messages, "The person you are trying to reach is not available. If you would like to leave a message, please do so at the tone. *BEEP*"

"Uh Uh...I ..er.... "This is warning from Dorien's... place, you're films are DOOOMED. Y'all should quit now, go into advertising. DOOMED, DOO-" The phone beeped message ended. Darn it. August was overwhelmed with a flood of guilt at his deed. He suddenly felt like he was being watched and was too nervous to check his sister's page. Instead he shot 'vampire support group' into Lookit. Maybe there was some advice for dealing with this kinda thing? He hoped Quinn was a heavy sleeper. "..."

Top result:"LARPiR - LARPers in Recovery... An organization to help those whose role-playing addiction has consumed them."
There was a sub-board for "live-action" vampire types, like those weird guys Quinn and Ru met at Rafflesia. After that there were a number of results that just randomly had the right words, but weren't relevant. But at the bottom of the page:"Wayspace Groups: Subcat Therapy: Subcat Occult: Autohypnosis for Addicts - Fight Addiction with Mindfulness Curses and Taboos - Living with Supernatural Disabilities Eldritch PTSD Group - Surviving the Mind Shattering LSPWGMs - Lone Sane People in World Gone Mad Occult Addictions - You Don't Need to be a Slave Oppressed Heretics - Alternative Faiths Network Possession Victims and Families - When Exorcism Fails Vampire Hunters Support - Morale for the War Effort Vampires Clandestine Meet - Freedom in Our Minds Wellness for Immortals - Mental Health for the Long Haul"
A moment later Cameron holla'd back:Cameron: "DHM took a min lol - uhh... sxy, scary i guess... u hav fun?"

He took a moment to reply to Cam.'kewl dud. Did U ~ bird? Darn rght we hd fun, Q evN got in2 it!' August went back to the web and clicked on the second last link 'vampires clandestine meet' and hoped it wasn't a trick to lure poor vampires to their doom.

To Cam:"U2, CU soon ILY m8." August clicked on the link and created a new email with his new last name. Which strangely enough wasn't taken already. He took a deep breath before writing the message.
August_Fahrenh8@maily.com:
Hi there,
My name's August, ummm so I'm a vampire or" persons no longer living".. I dunno. I think I have living person envy ya know? Like it's not fair that Lloyd get's to make movies under his real name. Really LAME movies too. Really LAME. LAME! I would have liked a little knee biter one day too. I'm mostly harmless I swear, I haven't killed anyone, I'm not dangerous. So y'all don't need to stake me. Okay y'all? Anyways I'd like to join the group. Thanks. He pressed send before he could change his mind. Then went to have a peak at the next link 'Wellness for immortals' and hoped it wasn't just a page for the psych lady. If she was hot though...

Quinn had been more or less keeping to himself and pondering over his mother's message, hoping August would believe him asleep while he worried over what to do. Did he try to comfort her? Would that make it worse for her? For HIM? He couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if he broke a rule here...he didn't fear Santi of course...and he was sure Wilhelm would only follow orders...but something about Marchese himself gave the old boy the willies. He heard August muttering and sat up, deciding a bit of insight wouldn't hurt."August? What on Earth are you up to, old thing?"

August popped his head out from the blankets, still keeping an eye on his phone. He looked VERY guilty.
"Lawdamimbo! Why aren't ya sleeping? I'm just texting ol' Cam and searching the web. Did ya know there's a support group for vampires? Vampire hunters too. Why'd people wanna hunt us? I mean we ain't so bad.. right?"

That took Quinn off guard. That was a thing? That was a real thing?"Wait...what? Vampire hunters? Do they seem legitimate or are they simply a passel of escapist ninnyhammers who've seen altogether too many films?" He got up to come over and see.
