"Part of that thing you were talking about, probably. It's just like a movie."
She said this a little admiringly, though not precisely impressed at the gothic atmosphere so much as the opportunity it offered. A whole bunch of graveyards with no fat old cops prowling around to kick you out of them?

"Oh, yes. Just like it only rains if it's dramatic, and you don't get lost unless it would make things more interesting."
The particular graveyard that they'd reached was one of the larger ones, a sprawling affair with very old graves, some crumbling, dotted here and there by large, elaborate crypts.
"Now this seems like it's here just for those reasons. Cinematics."
It reminded him of the graveyard he'd been in when laying to rest a certain someone. It wasn't the same place, but similar enough.

"Are you saying this place runs on bullshit?"
Wouldn't it be nice if everything went the way it did when somebody told a story? Old men bullshitting about fights they'd been in, how many guys against one. Or like it was in a song, always moonlight, always in a fast car, and everybody good-looking. She could believe it -- Daniel had a rock star look about him too, even if he didn't purr in her ear like Lestat on a pair of headphones, and if all hunting was going to be that easy...
Jenks dropped her head against his arm amicably.

He laughed.
"You could say that. Basically, if that's how it usually is in a story, then it'll happen that way."
He draped an arm around her shoulders as they walked.

She grinned, mouth a white gash of pearly baby teeth. Really, you couldn't help being as pretty as all this. Appropriate enough -- Lestat's songs had been like stories, and that had a kind of power.
"Just the way it should be."

"So if you have a chance to take advantage of the 'bullshit', do it!"

She dropped her head onto his shoulder affectionately, all swagger.
"Nice place you got here."

"It has it's moments. That's why even though I used to wander a lot, I've been here for years."

"Nobody's going to start any shit about us being here, right?"

"Pfft, no. One thing vampires can be good at is not caring about anything, unless they think they can get something from you. And even then, if you can be intimidating they leave it alone."

"Good." This sounded suspiciously like she was concerned, maybe even a little scared, so the little vampire puffed herself back up again and swung at a crumbling infant tombstone with her toe.
"You ain't a singer, Daniel, are you?"

Only my avatar "Not at all. I haven't any musical talent."

She snorted a little. "Not a movie star either?"

"Or that," he said, with a small smile.
"I was a writer, once. But that was ages ago. And my name wasn't famous one, anyway."

"How'd you end up with guys like Lestat, then? Big-league Dead guys."
