August leant against a washing machine trying to look casual. Nothing to see here, just two dudes meeting in a Laundromat.
" Don't mind us ma'am. Hey man, you ready to do that thing? How do you reckon we should do it?"

She looked at them with that nervous smile. Ma'am- "...yeah, hehe..."
Cameron- "Yeah, let's step out."
They headed out into the breezy night and spoke quietly. Cameron- "So... Ready to try out that shadow business again?"

"You betcha, just gonna warn ya Marchese get a bit whiffy when we do. Nothing bad just perfumey, apparently a religious thing. I dunno. I was hoping shadows were like clouds but they're more like wet slugs... So I reckon we should work out which window is his and climb up." August tugged his beanie over his curls, he wasn't looking forward to the slimy shadows.

As they walked toward the Blanketh building, Cameron tried on a devil-may-care attitude. Cameron- "So if we aren't total bollocks at this, maybe we can become cat burglars. Get some glennies of our own."

"The only thing I wanna steal are girl's hearts. I don't wanna break the law, hambalos. Who would we steal from anyways? Maybe my film will make the big bucks for us instead?"

Cameron- "Fair enough."
Cameron started to slow his pace. August could see he had some shadows about him, and a slightly vexed expression. Cameron- "Ugh. I can barely move without losing the shadows. Well, supposedly humans don't look up, but I don't wanna take a chance on that. I'm going to be realyl slow up there."

"Shootfire! Being a baby vamp sucks.." "Okay, I'll give it a burl. Ah excuse the smell..." August tried to imagine the shadows as friendly wet slugs attracted to him like a slug magnet as he moved covering him like a suit. He expected the burning sensation this time and braced for it. Every time he felt trepidation, he remembered why they were there. Stupid Lloyd.

Cameron- "So do we know which--"
Fireball in high window- "*walk past & disappear*"
Cameron- "Was that him?"

August dropped all focus on the shadows, he squinted towards the window. August felt the knife of rivalry deep in his gut."I'd reckon so... lawdamimbo! That answers that question. Let's go see what that ratbag is up to now!"

Cameron- "No wait! C'mon! Let's shadow up and go up the wall as slow as necessary, OK?"

"Okay, no fluffing about. It's game time. Don't worry Cam, I got this." August picked a particularly shady part of the wall that had a few bushes hiding him from plain sight until he was up further. The outside of the building was old bluestone and had been left to the elements, crumbling in parts and covered in a soft green moss. August held to the wall and started imagining the shadows again as his slug friends flying towards him like dust in a vacuum. Covering him up and hiding him from human eyes. Once he felt the burning sensation and the pungent smell of rose alcohol filled his nostrils, he slowly began crawling up the wall towards the window of one Lloyd French. Hoping the shadows would stick with him.

If he looked back, he'd see Cameron moving much more slowly, with a weaker cover of shadows than he had. August moved pretty easily over the surface, limbs long and easy. Cameron's legs were hunched up and his arms spread awkwardly, and he only moved one limb at a time. Cameron- "..."
At Lloyd's window, a sense of self-preservation reminded August to shore up his shadows. He could see the darkness over his arms and feel the cold slick over his body. Peering into the man's dorm room... Lloyd- "YAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUwwn. *smeck smeck* Yeah." Was it beddy-bye time?

"Well, what do ya reckon? Doesn't look worried, just sleepy. Don't fear Cam, his sideburns aren't nearly as cool as yours were. I promise." August peered in hoping for more revealing behaviour, he hadn't come all this way to watch Lloyd snooze. Sleeping the sound sleep of a man who's greatest rival had bitten the proverbial dust.

Looking down wasn't so bad as long as it wasn't directly down. He could see Cameron wasn't even close. The shadowy dude kept on, but didn't seem to hear August's word yet - the wind carrying them away. Back inside, Lloyd- "Man. There's just no time." He sat in his chair and wheeled back to the computer. August recognized the editing software he had open.

"No time for what? Ya application for a job in advertising?" August muttered hopefully under his breath. He strained to see what Lloyd was editing, deep in his chest he had a sick feeling of what it might be for.
