What We Do In The Shadows: "Jen..."

Summary: There are unexpected consequences when Laszlo seeks a new human familiar...

Note: Given the delay, let me bring some of you up to speed...We've diverged seriously from the series line over time, so please consider this an AU setting...

The guys took a new human familiar after Laszlo's June's untimely becoming "Barren" Afanas' dinner, an ambitious, likeable real estate agent, Jennifer Steinecke who helped them enthrall several coworkers of her firm in order to secure a wonderful new estate residence. The devoted ladies, with Nandor's surprising encouragement, have made Guillermo their adored boss among the human staff and two, Susan and Phyllis, consider themselves rather madly in love with him. Guillermo in this version is a) bi, and b) tormented by guilt. Meanwhile the famed Count Dracula, partly humanized, on the path of redemption, dear friend to the ghost of the man who saved him and helped rescue the soul of his beloved wife, Guillermo's ancestor, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, and foster father of the current famed Vampire Slayer, has appeared, as has the ghost of Van Helsing, with an unknown agenda involving Guillermo and our friends and possibly that most feared word among vampires...The R word. Standing in the way of Van Helsing's and Dracula's plans is the vile Simon Devious, who cannot bear the thought of our guys achieving Redemption and has an ace in the hole, a Vampire Hunter descendant of Van Helsing's...And Broadway star/ex-Vampire Hunter, Lesley Ciara. Oddly enough not only does she freely love him after months of fighting him, perhaps partly owing to some tiny, barely hanging portion of Humanity in him...Or maybe it's just she's hot and it's appealingly kinky to love a human, Simon cares for her, in his twisted way. And there is the Bigger Bad, a fiend seeking revenge on our friends, bent on upsetting any plans of Dracula and the Ghost of Van Helsing and on destroying any hopes for redemption...Whose name is...Arrgh...

All right, it's Colin...In this AU, Nandor bumped off Robinson's previous EV wife Henrietta by accident about one hundred and fifty years ago...It was dark, he thought she was a male vampire, cutting in on his action among some pretty and tasty villagers. He wasn't as calm and laid back then. These things happen...Though Colin will not accept that. Besides , why should the others get Redemption and all he gets is use of the pool at the new place?

C'mon it's about time Colin got to be the bad guy.

Oh and Marwa is here, but not via djinn and with a much happier resolution for her and Nandor...(At least so far in the series).

There ya go...

Part CIII...

"Death is coming...Death, Death...DEATH!!!" the young blonde intoned, clutching neck and falling in faint.

The group about her including Laszlo, clapping fervently...

"Way to go, Britt!" Jaqueta called, clapping, then coming to kiss her.

...

"She's not bad..." Laszlo, cutting to the new white sofa a couple of hours later that evening, nodding to camera. "What? Oh, the girl's in rehearsal for 'Dracula on Staten Island'. Can you believe it? Someone's gone and written a play about vampires, namely the 'Count' himself, on Staten Island? A bit close for comfort and I suppose I should be a bit concerned but what the hell, it might well be the one I wrote and sent in years ago to the local theatrical groups, finally seeing the light of day. Pity we must vamoose soon to escape the real-life sequel 'The Wrath of Van Helsing and Co.', I would dearly love to play the Count in it and a filmed version Miss Britt's group is doing, and now that the films talk, my mellifluent voice could only be an asset. And he's here, the Drac himself, visiting Nandor...A redeemed, humanish version, doctor actually and apparently a fine one, a heart surgeon, if you can believe it...Though I see the hand of Redemption in there, of course. Foster father, if you can believe it, to the Slayer herself, a delightful child if dangerous and deadly. All qualities I..."
