Grey Sky Blue Moon



Grey Sky Blue Moon is the story of the Potkin Sisters - Patricia and Patricia... aka "Batsy and Pazuzu".

The fraternal twin sisters are young, modern girls of 22 years, just trying to make their way in the world... an endeavor made all the more difficult by the fact that they are both vampires. Being supernatural creatures in the modern world of Seattle Millennials and Internet culture is both easier and more difficult than it was in their forebearers' heyday. Getting a good meal is an ordeal in the times of constant surveillance and techno-narcissism.

The girls have had an interesting family life, to say the least.

Their mom, Patricia Van Zant, is currently a patient in a mental ward. (She's been through some stuff, not the least of which was finding out her lover, Sebastian Potkin, was a vampire, then, later giving birth to twins, which should not have even been possible.)

Their grandfather, Vanya Ivanovich Potkin, is an old school Nosferatu, who has nothing but disdain for the entirety of the world, both natural and supernatural. He and his son, Sebastian, (who, also should not have been possible) a more modern vampire (i.e., a prissy, hedonistic prettyboy sparklevamp ) do NOT get along. They disagree mostly about which path in (after)life Sebastian's daughters, Patricia and Patricia (named by their mom in the throes of her mental unrest) aka “Batsy” and “Pazuzu” should take.

The only thing they DO agree on is that the girls need to learn power and responsibility, and thus the job they were roped into at Seattle's Blue Moon Diner (which secretly caters to a mostly supernatural clientele) is good for their character.

Batsy and Pazuzu are less than thrilled. No one wants to work food service. It's a fate worse than un-death.

Batsy and Pazuzu find that their being vampires does NOT make them the weirdest or most dangerous creatures in town. They're not even the most dangerous creatures at their JOB. The owner and operator of the Blue Moon Diner is Lukazs, a rather large and surly blue ogre. Their server who brought them their meal their first night at the diner, as patrons, - Maurice - was a handsome lad that, they later found out was an Incubus... after they drank his blood. Greta Bertram, another server at the diner, is completely human, but, apparently murderously deranged. Behind that beautiful face and sweet, polite demeanor lurks the heart and mind of a woman who can and will dispose of any threat to her place of business. PERMANENTLY. Without so much as a slight frown to show any remorse.

The prep cook, Hans, seems to have a death wish. Noodles the dishwasher is some other type of supernatural creature - species unknown. Another former server, April, was secretly a vampire hunter, planning to take out everyone in the place - a crusade set off by the initial arrival of Batsy and Pazuzu - but was stopped (again, PERMANENTLY) by Greta. Her corpse was then stuffed into the back of the restaurant's walk-in freezer.

The diner has a 'janitor' by the name of Igor, whose job it is to clean up the various "messes" a supernatural establishment tends to rack up. Bloody messes. hearing the name Igor before actually seeing him, the sisters were shocked upon first seeing Igor's male model good looks. It is unknown if he is some sort of supernatural creature, but, surely a guy that good looking can't be human, can he?

There is also an employee of the diner named Dane, who is apparently a mage. He has cast a spell over the diner so that all within its walls look completely human to all observers. He seems to have some sort of personal issue with Lukazs, however, as the humongous tough-guy ogre's glamour makes him look like a muscular, yet rather effeminate man wearing makeup.

Still unhappy with their lot in life - being forced to do food service work for an ogre - Batsy and Pazuzu are slowly but surely warming up to the place. Not having to skulk the shadows in order to get a meal, and having other supernaturals around who can relate to their problems and issues certainly helps. Still, they are young girls who would rather be free. Though they are loath to admit it, The Blue Moon Diner may just be a little TOO strange, even for them!
