"..." August had this face for most of the ride, it was like being on a weird roller coaster with the added danger of being spiked.
When he saw the weird ghoul of a man or was it woman, he gave a wave. Like anyone would in that situation. If they were August."..." August got off the bike stumbling slightly at the change in gravity. "Oh it was totally bombaroo! Ya have to let me take ya to the firing range though, sometime. Shall we go check out our new digs?"

Anselm- "Cool, ja I like to go to 'dhe firing range! In Grauland it is all old farmers. The two of them fumbled around getting the gate up, and they were greeted by a puff of acrid dust and a dim, filthy version of this. Anselm- "It's pretty old, I don't know 'dhey leave all zheir stuff behind... At least it hass space for arts I guess."
With a bit of searching, they got the lights up, buzzing fluorescent monstrosities that lit the studio with garish sickly light. Bottles of chunky, separated inks lined shelves, and the garbage had not been taken out in a year or two. Gross. Anselm- "Euch. Guess we haff work to do..." There was a tiny bathroom, just big enough for someone to squeeze in to sit on a toilet, and a couple private offices in the back that were thankfully barren of anything disgusting, but didn't have anything other than water damaged carpets. Outside there was an dumpster that seemed like it actually got emptied sometimes, and Anselm found a pull down ladder to the roof.
]The roof had strange geometry of duct-work and vents. (Ooh ventilation! They could use that...) It looked something like... this It wasn't very high up, the building was only one story, but it had a high ceiling. They could get a decent look on their rather flat part of town, all the way out the distant waterfront and the dinosaur cranes. Anselm- "Maybe vee spend time up here more. Okay maybe I show you a cool dhing now?"

Inside the bookbinders,"..." "..." "Yeah, ain't it just a fixer upper!" On the roof,"Aww we got a sea view! Bombaroo." "Sure! It's nothing creepy right?"

Anselm- "Maybe it scares a Glenman but not you."
They clambered down the rickety ladder, vowing to fix up that part of the fixer-upper very soon. Anselm let out a little sigh before venturing back into the stale air. They found out how to switch on the ventilation, and it was like another airplane was taking off. Good thing they had super hearing, and the stagnant air was starting to churn.
Anselm dragged his wooden crate to one of the rooms, and pried it open. Sure enough, it was full of dark soil. He dug through to find a cloth bag. Anselm- "I need magic to get dhese through zeh airport. I say it's art supplies."
He dumped the bag out on the floor, countless little bits of metal and plastic, including some pen nibs and dissembled plastic toys. And... some things like this. He picked up a wooden stock, and clanged it against a metal drum like a gong.
Anselm- "It isn't so fancy, and we haff to put dhem together first. But it's two off my favorites. A Graumüller Special 5m semi-auto, 800 rounds per minute. And a Schwarz-Westen 12 gauge - autoshotgun, 200 rounds per minute."
August knew-- these weren't super fancy military grade, but some classic continental stuff that folks liked to use in movies fifteen years ago. Somethin' like this and this. And also, it was gonna be a pain and a half to get all these little bits back together. Anselm- "I don't haff so much ammo though. I bring some on my belt but vee need more. Vilhelm says someone knows how, I forgot dhe name." Sure enough he had a bullet belt that had actual bullets mixed in.

Little did Anslem know he made a friend 6eva, then again August wasn't exactly subtle. "Like all my godmasses at once! LAwdamimbo! BOMBAROO BABY! " "Can I hug ya? I HAVE to hug ya!!" Anslem got a big hug whether he said yes or not. August fussed over all the little bits If anyone was going to be able to do it, it was August. Putting guns together was like second nature to him, he'd learnt to put a gun together before he'd learnt to read."The roof will be bloody amazing to use for practice when we have more ammo." "Shootfire! Sorry I used dirty language but I'm just so darn excited! I'm more wrapped than a birthday present from ya nan. Super wrapped. Like super super wrapped."

((no prob, just checking <3))Anselm awkwardly accepted the hug, and laughed. Anselm- "Hah, you're zo fun! I 'dhink we are good roommates already. We haff plenty of room at least for gun shots. Maybe we go on ozher roof and set up targets." He took his coat off, and sat on the edge of the crate, dusting off springs and doohickeys with the hem of his shirt. Anselm- "You don't dhink I am too scary? Some are afraid of Vorf-- ah, progens. Villhelm says sometimes people do zhat here."

"Genius idea! Ya the darn best roomie I've ever had. Glennies just don't get guns." " Ya ain't like the other progenitors, ya still pretty new ain't ya? I haven't had any reason to be super scared of progenitors, but even if what they say is true, ya just ain't like that anyways. Ya don't strike me as the type to abuse power. Ya super nice and I ain't scared of ya. Don't worry, if anyone treats ya different, they're nufters and I'll tell em what's what."

Anselm- "Ha, danke, I vill keep it in mind. Yeah I'm only dead fifteen years or so. Maybe younger zhan your parents. In Grauland we haff power, but not like here. Zhere are many progens, not just five." His phone chimed. Anselm- "Eughhh..." Anselm- "Do you answer zhis for me please? It's zhat Demetri guy who keeps calling me. I don't know vhat he wants..."
It was actually just a text message.
Anselm- "Vhat does he say? I don't want to talk to him... I don't know him."

"Oh!" "He just wants a photo of ya, so he knows what ya look like. I guess he doesn't want to take chances with strange vamps." August pointed the phone's camera at Anslem and clicked. "There! All sorted. Ya not as bad folks. My ma freaked once because her phone wanted her to make a Songit account. She thought it might be a Glennish spy network."

Anselm- "Oh, he wants a photo of me...?"
Anselm- "Huh. Yeah I don't know how to use my phone for much. I like Videospiele a little bit."
Anselm- "What are your friends like? I know all zeh Grauer vampires at least a bit. For here, I only meet zhat host boy, and I see a boy with a sweater and one hass samurai hair... I don't know Chloë, Vilhelm likes her a lot and she looked very cute."

Anselm- "Oh I want to meet zhem! I like meeting kids and progen 'dhe best. I don't know Belfries, is it a band? I don't know new bands very much.
Anselm- "I hope we get to haff fun. I know it is a big war though. Do you haff to fight something yet? I don't know if zhey make you fight here."
Anselm- "I bet Willem hass a party soon. He does parties a lot, really fun. Sometimes vampire parties are super creepy but his are not super creepy. Sometimes just a little, but I shall suggest to him to make it not creepy."

"They're not so new but that's cool. Darren is their lead singer. He's very rock and roll. I love the Belfries!" "I haven't had to fight nothing and I don't wanna if I can help it. Though if he tries to hurt me friends, I won't stand idle. I'm sure there's other stuff we can do to help." "Oh! Yeah! Jan mentioned Willem did parties. That's sounds bombaroo! Yeah, they used a party to kill me and my friends. That wasn't so fun... Well it was kinda was until they killed us."

Anselm- "Geh, why zhey always do bad parties? It happens to me, too. I guess it's convenient." Anselm- "Yeah, fighting isn't fun, moreso vhen you are young. I like to figure out uh... strategie. Sometimes old vampires are somewhat stupid, and don't know it. I don't know how old Badboy is but I bet we can be smarter."
Anselm- "I only know Vilhelm a bit, I'm glad he gets me a new bike and a place to stay. He is very popular, so I'm surprised. I don't know I'm so useful to need me, but I'm happy to come here. Maybe you can play me Belfries music, I like to hear it. I haven't seen your film yet eizher, you should bring it if we haff a party. "
