Yeah, I'm in charge. Listen, it's pretty simple don't kill humans, if you do kill a human talk to me or one of my guys and we'll handle it. We love tourists as long as they don't pick a fight.

Deal?

[scherzando]

Yeah, yeah, same old don't-go-fang-crazy-on-our-cattle-centered political drama. You'd think the afterlife was something different! [shrugs] Fine by me, chief. Or should I call you boss? Prince? Some bullshit title like that?

[STILL NOT SAYING ANYTHING though he's at least amused]

[nohybriddadno]

Just Marcel is fine.

[hands them each a card, there's a single fancy M on it, a phone number and an address]

We're having a get-together tomorrow night, I'd be happy to have you both over.

[bitesperminute]

[turns the card over a couple of times, examining]

Fancy! What sort of get-together, exactly?

[scherzando]

[yyyes I am also interested in hearing the answer to this question]

[nohybriddadno]

You know, music, dancing, blood. Still no killing, but we have humans over they end up with a hell of a hangover.

[scherzando]

Ah. One of those all-you-can-eat buffets, huh.

[bitesperminute]

Angelo, no.

[nohybriddadno]

[LAUGHS!]

No, no, he's got the right idea.

[bitesperminute]

Are you sure? Because if all your guests treat it as a buffet...

[nohybriddadno]

Everyone knows the rules, we keep it clean.

[scherzando]

Exotic food is tempting, but I don't know... What if I'm too shy for a food orgy and I get performance anxiety.

[bitesperminute]

[mouthing to himself: "As if"]

[nohybriddadno]

The level of depravity isn't quite as high as you're picturing. Sorry to disappoint.

It's a normal party just with vampires and biting, dress casual.

[scherzando]

Aww.

Ah, well. Maybe we'll show up anyway. [looks up at Seth] What do you think, sugar cube?

[bitesperminute]

Think you'll manage to behave? We've only just met Mr. Marcel here, after all.

[nohybriddadno]

Just Marcel, please. Mr. Marcel sounds way too formal.

[bitesperminute]

Marcel, then.

[scherzando]

[o u]

Anyway, you worry too much. I'm not suicidal anymore, so I can promise no bloody excesses.

[nohybriddadno]

Whoa. Should I leave you guys alone?

[bitesperminute]

[doesn't even blink]

No, no, it's fine. He always does this.

[scherzando]

We'll show up, maybe. It's fine either way, right? We'd be literally unable to be the life of the party anyway.

[nohybriddadno]

Your call. Please avoid suicides, though.

[bitesperminute]

No suicides, we promise!
