Babette wandered the globe until she was on the side of the house, and whence, did she smell a dank odor? Two glassy-eyed figures emerged from an oily storm cloud.
Jack- "Oh-- oh hey, hey hey... it's-- Babette. She's so cool, Ryder she's really cool."
Ryder- "Yeah."
Jack- "Hey Babette-- what's up, are you just like, traveling the grounds? It's pretty big house, huh."

Babette felt loved. "Hi, boys. You seem to be in a great mood. I was with Courtney a moment ago, but we got separated." Babette glanced behind her shoulder. No Courtney. Maybe she fell through a mirror or became distracted by partying dudebros. Poor girl!"It's good to meet you, Ryder. Are you a fan of the Bell-fees?" There were lots of Bellfee-ers roaming around the house. Babette didn't get it. Darren wasn't even that dreamy. She supposed, in the right outfit and at the right angle, he might be sorta kinda? Eh. Nah.

Ryder- "The Bellfee-- oh! Man my roommate is all into their shit, he's going through a retro phase, it's kinda sad."
Jack- "Oh yeah Courtney, she is so sweet. Her hair looks like fluffy candy floss, but in a good way! Oh Babette, did I ever tell you, you are sooo pretty. I mean I ain't even trying to creep, I guess it's like, the air, I'm just feeling stuff, man. Like I need to tell the world stuff. Important stuff."
Ryder- "Jack, no, what? I mean, you know, yeah, everyone's beautiful, really man, but like... what are you, are you like, some kind of weird... What's the deal?"
Jack- "No no, come on. I just mean, it's Babette, she's so glamorous. Like, I want to be you when I grow up. You know? Babette, when did you know you were going to be a movie star? Did you know, Ryder, she's a movie star?"

Babette felt extra loved! " You're so sweet. ((Jinx, Chloë )) Hehe, I used to watch old movies every day as a kid. They were like nannies. All those tragic sirens rubbed off on me. Well, I'm definitely tragic now, right? It may take a few more movies to become a siren." Ryder- "Nice."
Jack- "Yeah oh my god that is soo beautiful, don't worry Babette you are a total siren, I swear. See I watched a bunch of action movies as a kid, but most of my crime stuff involved sitting in parked cars and waiting. But like, I feel you."
She shuffled a bit closer."Do you have any more of ... you know? I've been trying to get drunk, but it's hard to keep anything down, erm, my stomach's upset."

(Edit above)
Ryder- "Oh, we smoked it all, man."
Jack- "Ryder, come on."
Ryder- "What?"
Jack- "Don't hog your stash, dude. Friends are friends, it's time to share with the whole class."
Ryder- *extended sigh* His breath would've been enough to get a human stoned off their sweet patooty. He dug in his pocket and produced a couple hastily rolled joints.
Jack- "Sorry we used up the blunts but Ryder says this stuff is good. Do you know how to get high, Babette?"
Ryder- "Sheesh, it's not rocket... uh, whatever you do with rockets. Whatever, it's not hard. Just like, put it up your mouth... With... air."
Jack- "No I mean, do you know how?" He rubbed at his throat conspicuously. Then he gestured with his eyes to Ryder, who was too tore back to notice.Jack- "I only had a snack earlier, there should be enough left over to give you a buzz."
Ryder- "I have no idea what you're talking about, but I don't have... like, any ideas right now."

Awwwwsnap! "Eeeeuuuhh ooooh. Actually, I've never done it before." She scratched her neck. "Why don't you put that away, Ryder? We wouldn't want to waste the good stuff, right? Oh, what's that? Hold still, there's a bee on your neck! I'll get it. Hold still! Okay?" Babette looked at Jack, like, what am I doing man? I'm gonna do it! Should I? Should I do it?

Ryder- "What! Oh god, I thought at night-- night bees?!"
Jack- "Ryder, Ryder..."
He caught Ryder's bloodshot gaze.
Jack- "Hey, what did you think about the end of Hardened Criminals? Like, was it really Dag Hardboat who killed the ambassador, or was it the system? You know, fate and predetermi--nation, or whatever."
Ryder- "Whoa."
Ryder was lost in contemplation. Jack nodded to Babette encouragingly, and pointed out a small hickey-like bruise on the crook of Ryder's neck.
Jack- "Might as well go two for one."
Ryder- "Huh."
Jack - "Just think, the system. Fate."
Ryder- "Yeah."

When Ryder seemed distracted, Babette sprang into action. She put one hand on his shoulder to keep him steady and NOMMED his neck. How deep did that pointy thing go in? Not too deep, but maybe she should have tried without the transformation. She felt awful about breaking the skin, really - no wonder August carried around cookies. This was so weird! Babette just bit a stranger, like some horrible criminal!
Why couldn't she be suave about it? Why'd her first bite have to be a traumatic night bee attack? Poor Ryder. He deserved better. He deserved Wilhelm!
She released him after taking a gulp of blood and stumbled back a couple steps."I got the bee. You're safe."

Ryder- "Wh-wow. I thought, wow I must be pretty sexy tonight. But then it was like, a bee. So weird."
Jack- "Oh sure. Good job Babette. Are you feeling it? It's nice cause like, you won't smell like-- oh well I mean you're hanging out with us so, oh well."
Ryder- "Yeah like, uh -- uh. I think I need a... breather."
Jack- "Maybe we should take this fella to rest. Damn, I almost feel... um. I forgot. Hahaha... anyway."
Jack propped up a wobbly Ryder, should they find a resting spot outside or brave the party looking for a restful pocket?

Babette spoke a bit more slowly than usual, and "usual" was already fairly slow."We should go outside. It's too ... I don't know. There's bad feelings inside the house. I think it's the ghosts, just, not ordinary ghosts. They're the kind of ghosts that come from dead dreams, right? Hey, Ryder, are you okay? Would a cookie help? I know a guy. August keeps them in his pants for emergencies."

Ryder- "Pants... cookies... heh."
Jack- "Damn! I wish I could eat a cookie. That'd be soooo good right now." Jack snagged an afghan from the back of a couch, and wrapped it around the nodding-off Ryder. The group shuffled outside like they were walking Granny home. Ryder was practically sleep walking. Jack sat him up on a deck chair, and tucked the blanket around him. Ryder lolled his head back and seemed to be softly snoring. At least he was still breathing! Jack flopped on the neatly trimmed grass. Jack- "Wow, so that's the first time you ever had blood? I mean, out of a human? It's wild, huh. That's not just the weed you're feeling."

Jack hella gave Babette fist bumps.
Jack- "Aw, you're my bro too, Babette. Bros for life. Or, death. Yeah."
He also looked up at the stars, or wherever they'd be on a dismal-ish Autumn night. It just felt like what they'd do in the movies.
Jack- "The little--? Oh, oh yeah the kid. Well, old kid. Yeah, he didn't kill me. I think he might've helped kill Darren but I guess all those guys had to kill someone. Man, who is your vampire... uh, master, again? I'm glad I'm with Vitus, or at least I was. Now I'm pretty much flying free, which is even better than that. In a way. Sorta."

"No fair! Why do you get the hot master? Ugggh. Do you know Greyburn? Aubrey-ron Greyburn? He's a fashion idol or something. I'm not in to high fashion. Look at me, I just wear whatever black thing fits. Anyway, he's my Sensei, and he's reeeally old and deep and creepy. Fun fact. He pulls out his teeth and keeps them in a jewelry box." Babette started laughing.
"It's FILLED with teeth. Look, I carry one with me." She fished out one of Aubrey's teeth from her purse.
"It's my unlucky charm. Is that disgusting? Am I a creep, too? You know what? I'm going to ..." Babette chucked the tooth far, far away. Ew.

Jack- "GREYBURN? Oh my god!"
Jack- "You poor thing! Do you want to come hide under my bed, forever?"
Jack- "You seem like you're doing okay though, I probably shouldn't freak out. You remind me a lot of this guy I dated in high school, he had a real rat skull on a necklace but it broke when we were rolling around in the grass one time, he was so sad. But anyway, I wouldn't be wearing all this black either if I didn't like that stuff at least a little. You gotta keep your head screwed on somehow. Angela has these really cool hats but they probably came from dead people. I try to not let it bother me when I wear them. But seriously, they are really cool hats."
