[PHONE HANGS UP]
ALFIE
For fuck’s sake.

[A DOOR OPENS]
NEIGE
Everything okie?
ALFIE
Ah, yeah. Just got another one of those weird voicemails.
NEIGE
That is what you get for giving out your number the way that you do.
ALFIE
I need people to be able to reach me safely, anonymously if they have to. Everyone’s afraid. I need to make that as small a barrier as I can for people reaching out.
NEIGE
Ah, it is a noble project you are proposing, but the vampires, they will not talk to you yet. It is too soon. They know you have human friends, still living their human lives.
ALFIE
So I’m supposed to sit and wait patiently until everyone I know is dead?!
NEIGE
Non. But I think it may mean you need to rethink your, ah, approche tactique? It is a big risk for to share our stories, even anonymised. Whether or not you say it aloud, you are asking people to expose themselves to the world, and the world is not fond of us.
ALFIE
Visibility is vulnerable, yeah. But if we want acceptance, if we want rights, first we need to show people we exist. We’ve always existed, humans just haven’t really noticed.
NEIGE
All I am saying is that this process will be slow, mon raleur. You know this.
ALFIE
I know. Sorry. I’m just. Annoyed. I get excited every time there’s a message on the voicemail thing but it’s always just these bloody—! like for real, I do not actually fully understand what they’re expecting me to do.
NEIGE
But he is giving you clear instructions, non? Go to this place for more information.
ALFIE
I can’t just go to a random internet cafe in Amsterdam because a nameless voice instructs me to.
NEIGE
And yet I get a sense that each time you get these messages you get closer to doing it.
ALFIE
I’m not going to go.
NEIGE
Perhaps not. But what if it is the beginning of what you want? What if this voice on the machine is a vampire who is willing to talk about his story with you? Hmm?
ALFIE
I thought you wanted me to be patient.
NEIGE
I do, but I am being an, ah. How you say? Advocate for the devil?
ALFIE
Darling, you’re always advocating for the devil. When was the last time you put on clothes?
NEIGE
Nudity is not sinful, I will not allow this nonsense into my home. Anyway, you will do as you like, regardless of what I say or think. You have proven this to me. I am simply attempting to be a good and supportive lover to you. Is there harm in this?
ALFIE
No. No, there’s not.
