undergrounds | Small Town Celebrities party log for Sept17-Oct6

The Redbright students clearly aren't getting enough homework if they have the time to start following their favorite members of supernatural society around for the chance at getting The Perfect Shot of them looking hot. It starts slow and small, for the first week, anyway. Just a random person pulling out their phone and taking a quick shot. Can't even be sure it was you they were photographing. By the five days in, though, they've started making a game of it. Groups of two and three going out together. Following people for a while. Having the audacity to wave when they're looked at. Some even invite their target to take a picture with them and their friends. (If you say yes to that, please do flex a little.)

Ratings on the website change on a day to day basis and currently both Redbright Professors and the Hillingdon Clan lists are the current most popular due to the territory change over and general familiarity with the groups.

Hans Estergaard had been reigning supreme as #1 in Hillingdon since he had the audacity to challenge Sylvia for her seat on the council. An unprecedented length of time! (It's like the students enjoy the idea of someone standing up to Sylvia, the person ultimately in charge of telling them what to do. Go figure.)

Most factions are getting more attention from these folks, though. They really have a lot of time on their hands.

[[ooc: post around like it's a party log. If you want an npc bothering you and want me to play them, put NPC request in the subject line.]]

An IT guy. Yeah, Caroline could see that. "I guess everyone needs help with their technology every now and then. And are you on the list too?"

Is he on the list? He'd thought it was fairly obvious he wasn't. He's tried for years to fit in with the type of people who are on there, but he's just not the type who belongs there and he's used to everyone being able to see it.

He laughs uncertainly, glancing at the still lingering students.

"No, I... I'm not the kind of person they're interested in."

Caroline smiles. "Well, that might not be such a bad thing, all things considered. They're pretty annoying when they are interested." Not to mention, being supernatural wasn't exactly a cakewalk in this city.

"You don't seem to mind that much," he points out.

Not that Oliver could really blame her if she was. Other people are, and with good reason. Even if they were just regular people most would rather be left alone than have kids taking their picture to post online.

Caroline gives him a look. "Just because I think the site's funny doesn't excuse them stalking me for three nights."

"Oh. Right." He at least has the decency to look a little ashamed of that. Kids or not, they're still stalking people and making them uncomfortable. "Of course not."

"Anyway, hopefully they've gotten enough pictures now that they'll stop." If not, then maybe she'd see if they were dumb enough to follow her back into Nest territory. Though if they were, she might have to save them from themselves.

"Do you live around here? I'm new to town and I've been trying to find all the places worth knowing."

"I hope so. It looks like they already took a lot."

The camera phone flashes seem to have lessened now anyway, and they seem to be talking more among themselves instead of looking over. That's a good sign.

"Yeah, I live not far away. What kind of places are you looking for?"

"Mostly pubs and restaurants, coffee shops, things like that. Places to go and enjoy yourself in the evening. Where do you go, after a busy day fixing computers?" Caroline wasn't sure that the two of them were going to have similar tastes when it came to these things, but you never know.

"Oh, I know a few good bars," he tells her. "Other places too, but if I'm doing anything that isn't take out after work it's usually a bar. Do you mind the human kind, or do you prefer to more interesting kind?"

Even in regular bars he's seen people he knows share at least some connection to Redbright, but he doesn't know whether she's the type to prefer to avoid the human world or not.

It's nice to be able to talk to someone who knows what she is - at least, to an extent - and just treats it like a normal thing. "A bit of both, I think. Sometimes its nice to get away from all the interesting drama."

"I kind of like the interesting drama," Oliver admits, though maybe that's not a surprise when he's a human in their world.

"I can see why you might want to get away from that. I know a few places I go to after work, and there's a some nice late night coffee shops I know of if you can't get out earlier."

Which depending exactly what she is she may or may not be able to.

Caroline looks at him thoughtfully for a moment. She wonders if she would have felt the same, had she been in his shoes. As it was, being part of the supernatural community hadn't exactly been presented as a choice.

"Open late is definitely good," she tells him, even knowing that this might give things away.

It doesn't seem to upset him. He lists a few of his favorite coffee shops, and his current favorite bar to go to after work.

"Though they are pretty strict on IDing I don't know if you carry any."

He doesn't even know how old she is. It's always hard to tell with vampires.

Caroline laughs. "I'm twenty, I think I'll be fine." She's still at the stage where she more or less looks her age.

"Yeah, you should be."

It is a little weird knowing what she is and that she's younger. She's not the first vampire he's met like that, but he's used to them being so much older than they look.

Baby vampires can be confusing that way, it's true. "So, anything else I should know about the area?"
