"...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.

Jack shrugged. "And I'm not making him Kaidan and Ronan's problem on the island."

Well, Kaidan's problem. Ronan would probably be happy to have someone else to feed.

"It's not forever, anyhow."

[OOC: Usual weekend slow, I fear. We're going to go see dinosaurs.]

"Oh god, why are you even talking to these two sad puppies?" Adam interjected. "Because really. You need new wingmen. And I happen to be a registered poon-hound." He jabbed a thumb towards himself.

Mitchell didn't even eyeroll as much as pull his eyes away from Adam and look demonstratively in a different direction.

[[ noooo worries! ]]

"Don't think Mitchell's in the market for that," Jack observed, inspecting his fingernails as a way to feign disregard. "And watch who you're calling a sad puppy, hmmm?"

"I know that would make my bra undo itself, if I were a girl," Jack said, once he found words again. George's rant required a lot of staring.

Not that he was totally unsympathetic.

Adam shrugged. "Don't know about that," he said, turning to Mitchell, "but I think someone doth protest too much--"

Maybe taking Adam to Fandom wouldn't be such a bad idea.

"Mitchell?" Jack said. "Calm down."

"Hey, hey, Mitch," Adam said, his eyes widening with alarm. "Look, mate-- we're brothers in arms here, okay? I just--- can I have a scotch?"

He took a step towards Mitchell.

Jack drew in a breath, muscles tensing.

"A drink," he said. "And then maybe sort out where Adam will spend the night."

Mitchell held up his hands in a vague gesture meant to ward Adam off.

Adam sighed, and glanced back towards Jack. "Look, you're just the first person like me I've met," he said, turning back towards Mitchell, "Except for the first one and that was... mostly fighting him off. Unsuccessfully."

He was quiet for a brief moment, to see if that worked, then added, "Please. I don't know how to do this."

Jack was almost certain that wasn't true; Mitchell was a lot of things, but he wasn't typically unfeeling. He narrowed his eyes at Mitchell as he tried to figure out what the problem actually was. It couldn't possibly be a rivalry thing, so --

"Are you worried he'll want to hunt?" he finally guessed.

Jack bit his lip, almost certain he'd said the wrong thing, and wandered back behind the bar.

"Sorry," he said in a low voice, and why did everyone in the house have to have supernatural hearing? It made conversations like this much more difficult.

"Oh." Jack should have thought of that sooner, but the problem was so particular to Mitchell he rarely remembered it. He chewed on his lip, considering it.

"I don't want to take him back to the island," he said. (Derek's hiring had used up Jack's annoying-Eric quota for the rest of the year -- and he couldn't see Derek and Adam getting on, either.) "Do you know anyone, maybe? I feel like we can't just set him loose."

Jack exhaled in relief. "You trust them?"
