READ PAGE ONE

Jack noticed that Ryder looked extremely hesitant, so he took the lead. Normally he loved much more lively dancing, and even though the music was completely inappropriate to slow dance to, he pretended that it wasn't. It was just an excuse to bring down that physical intimacy barrier which would be useful later. Plus, it was a good way to get a little grope-y and that's always fun.

     Jack was driven to distraction
by multiple factors, though
hunger could be accounted for
worsening all of them.
     Vitus said you should take
things slow if you are trying to
build a long-term contact, but
come on! Who does that?
OK the queen's era might not
be just white gloves and fainting
like they show in the movies,
but he had to know that he was
just a little bit prudish for
modern times.
     Plus Jack was tired of acting like a
mysterious ghoul, it was high time to
just act like a slutty ghoul. It was a lot
easier anyway.

    Vitus walked through the club, wondering if he should check on Jack. There were a lot of things they needed to work on, since he was just starting out, and maybe spending so much time alone wasn't a good thing. He still hadn't gotten rid of that whole 'robot wolf' look it was easy for their kind to slip into if they weren't being careful. His independence did appeal to Vitus' lazy side though, and he had actually neglected his own hunger too much lately.
     He thought of the potential consequences of various mistakes Jack could make, and the idea of being having to call in another favor to Helen made him cringe.
     "OK I'll leave him for now, gotta be quick though..."

     "Ugh. I think I'm gonna go take a long walk off a short pier, Scylla." the shortest girl made a gagging gesture and pushed her waif-ish friend along. Vitus would normally have better tact for his entrances, he wouldn't want to alienate potential donors, but the hunger tonight had made his social instincts weak.
     "Oh, uh, I didn't know they were your friends..." he lied.
'Scylla' sensed he was bothered by the awkward situation. "Oh psh, don't worry about them. Total drama queens, they should get taller shoes if they want to be noticed."
     "Yes, you... are wearing shoes. I noticed that..."
