chosehumanity"...Now this here is your room, isn't that fantastic? I think there's a game of Buckaroo downstairs-- one of the other guests must have left it behind."
"Buckafuckingroo?"
The surly teenager standing before George gave him a look that went beyond disbelief. George, being George (and being rather preoccupied with sorting out the boy's sheets) did not let that throw him off his stride. "Yes," he said, decidedly. "It's a fantastic game for two to eight players-- oh, forget it, I'm just trying to think of things to keep you occupied."
... so yes, George handled it exactly like George Sands would.
"I can keep myself occupied," the little vampire said, sighing, and sat down on the bed.
It took a few moments before that one made it through to George's brain, but as soon as it did, he dropped the pillow. "Oh god, you're a teenage boy, of course you can." Ew ew ew ew ew.
"Hello!"
George had never been that happy to see Annie before.
"Don't you ever knock?" the boy - Adam - said, eyeballing Annie.
"Oh, I don't have to, being a ghost has some perks," Annie said. She had a smile on her face, her hips shifting a little as she spoke.
"Well, not around me, I don't want ghosts popping up all over the place, it freaks me out," Adam complained.
"You're a forty-six year old vampire," George pointed out, taking a moment to eyeball Adam right back, "who dresses like a child. Don't call her freaky."
"Anyway," Annie said, clearing her throat, "I'm just stopping by to see how you boys are getting on."
"Badly," George said.
Adam leaned over and kicked him.
George nearly toppled over, spun around on one foot, balanced precariously on it for several moments before setting it down on the floor and letting go of a belated, "Ow!"
He pointed a finger at Adam. "He just kicked me!" he shrieked. "I-- Annie! Tell him off!"
The look Annie gave him made it clear that this was not the most mature, manly thing she had ever heard George declare, but also that it wasn't exactly in the running for the least mature, manly thing he had ever said.
George sighed. "I need to call Mitchell," he said. "Again. He's still not answering his phone."
"You've left ten messages," Annie pointed out. "Maybe it's time we tried something else."
"Yeah," George said, rubbing the back of his head and giving Adam the stink-eye. "But who else do we know who knows anything about vampires--"
His eyes met Annie's eyes.
"Right," George said, and dashed-slash-stumbled-slash-flailed his way out the door towards the phone.

"Jesus," Adam muttered, sticking his head in between Annie and George. "That's your vampire expert?"

Date: 2012-09-21 01:44 pm (UTC)"Yes," he said, nodding a greeting to Annie and George. "I'm Jack. You aren't passing for Count Nosferatu yourself, you know."

Date: 2012-09-21 01:55 pm (UTC)"And thank Christ for that," he said. "But I meant more that you may be even less intimidating at a glance than I am, so perhaps you shouldn't judge people by appearance. Or by being a werewolf, if that's what you mean."

Date: 2012-09-21 01:59 pm (UTC)"You, shut up," George said, raising his voice. "If you don't, I'm--" Beat, "... Annie's putting her foot down!"

Date: 2012-09-21 02:04 pm (UTC)"Let's sit down and calm down before anyone has a heart attack," he suggested. "Then I would love to hear more about Adam's taste in pornographic films."
He hadn't made it past Twinks 2, himself. The cinematography was lacking.
He glanced to George. "Mitchell's still on walkabout?"

Date: 2012-09-21 02:09 pm (UTC)You were barely in your twenties, George.
Adam heaved a great big sigh. "Apparently we've got a game of Buckaroo down here somewhere."
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 02:34 pm (UTC)"I think we can do better than that," he said. "How long are you staying here, anyhow? I couldn't quite follow that bit."
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 05:04 pm (UTC)Flail.
Annie nodded encouragingly.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 05:31 pm (UTC)"But if it's just for a little while" -- he glanced back to Adam -- "want to get a pizza and find something horrible on TV?"
It had always killed afternoons back in the dorms, anyhow. the other thing he could think of would be a walk around the island, and he didn't know the landscape enough to suggest that with a vampire he didn't trust yet.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 06:04 pm (UTC)He paused mid-turn, though, and added, "Who's this Mitchell guy anyway? Another werewolf?"
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 06:13 pm (UTC)"He's a vampire," he said uneasily, brushing curls off his forehead. "They didn't tell you?"

Date: 2012-09-21 06:19 pm (UTC)All right, so she was dead, but so was Adam!

Date: 2012-09-21 06:32 pm (UTC)He frowned, wondering about something George had said. "So you live with your actual father? As in, the human one?"
That was different.

Date: 2012-09-21 07:08 pm (UTC)"I used to feed my guardian," Jack told the big Hawaiian print. "Before -- well, before things got odd."
More odd, anyhow.
"It's how it's done, where I'm from. Though not normally parent to child."

Date: 2012-09-22 01:20 pm (UTC)He rummaged about the tables, eventually came up with a remote and clicked on the television. For all he'd made fun of George's flailing, he wasn't exactly finding oodles in common with Adam either.

Date: 2012-09-22 01:44 pm (UTC)He figured the rest would be clear soon enough.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-22 01:57 pm (UTC)His eyes slid to Adam. "...Up."
