The sun had barely begun to set when the house on Apocalypse Avenue lit-up like a small supernova. Each of the zombie lawn gnomes each had their own little candle in a cup, and the walk up to the house was strewn with fairy lights between the trees.

In the backyard, you would find wine, mead, fresh fruit, sparklers, and pretty much anything else required for your midsummer solstice party. There was more food in the kitchen, of course, and rather than the traditional bonfire, the residents had rigged their own burning sun in the center of the backyard.

Merry meet and welcome on the longest day!

"Compared to normal vampires? Eccentric and volatile," Eric said. "Compared to the former king of Mississippi? Refreshingly sane."

Given "eccentric" described almost every vampire Jack had ever known, and "volatile" was not far behind, this was not reassuring.

"I get the feeling I should feel lucky not to have to come anywhere near the former king, then," Jack decided.

"Very," Eric said flatly, "but he's buried in concrete in a parking lot in Shreveport, so I think you're fine."

"... ah."

Jack was curious if they'd burned him first, but that didn't seem a question he really wanted the answer to.

"So is there a king of America over all of them?" he asked instead. "I'm still untangling the system. We don't have one like it at home."

Eric waggled his hand. "Sort of. The United States is divided into several regions, and the various territory Kings and Queens meet up at conventions to sort out differences, stand trial, arrange marriages, and so on."

"You aren't married, are you?"

It wasn't only the lack of a ring that made Jack ask this. Eric just didn't seem the type.

Eric snorted. "Not even close."
