Who: Alucard Emery and YOU
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Wonderduck!
When: post-shuffle
action - ss wonderduck[It has been...a very disconcerting few hours for Alucard. First, waking up in an unknown, unfamiliar location, alone. And then having barely enough time to process and explore that first ship before being surprisingly dumped onto another.
...With confetti.
He's absolutely on his guard. In fact there's a piece of metal hovering by his left hand that...was probably a tool of some kind, left out on the bridge. It's since been shaped into a rough approximation of a knife. Just in case. Sorry. (If he had access to some sort of liquid, he would have used that but it seems to be in short supply in his current vicinity.)
Alucard is wary, but there's something that has seemed to capture his attention. For the first while after the welcome music and the confetti, he stands in front of the viewport out into the stars, a little bit in awe despite himself.
Later, he can be found in the halls, eventually ending up in the engine room with his hands on his hips. What an interesting contraption that he suddenly understands the functions of...]broadcast[Being the kind of guy he is, Alucard takes a while to familiarize himself with the comm, how it works and how to best present himself when he finally addresses the other members of the Fleet.
When he does open the video to post on the network, he's standing in the middle of his (too small, in his opinion) bunk. The comm itself is propped up on the shelf above the bed. He's got a glass of water in his hand. Alucard is definitely well-dressed, clothed in something that looks vaguely historical in nature and dark blue with gold trimmings. Maybe even more eye-catching, though, is the fact that his skin seems to be lined in a dull silver. Specifically, wherever you'd expect to see the blue of veins, there's what seems like either ornamentation or scarring.
Alucard nods at the camera, the expression on his face vaguely pleasant but not overly enthused.]Good day. My name is Alucard Emery and I am a recent recruit to this, ah, fascinating fleet.
[The sass is strong with this one. Though he still offers a very small bow to the camera. He's not devoid of manners.] Since I've been informed that my stay may be extended, I thought it polite to make my introductions. Though I'll admit it feels strange to offer introductions so...generally. What an interesting little device.
I also had a question to ask. Or perhaps an observation to offer.
[As he speaks, the water in his glass...moves. It doesn't slosh. It ribbons up out of its container.] Where I'm from, magic is...omnipresent. But as far as I can tell, this place, these ships...there aren't even any natural sources of it.
[The water curls around the fingers of his left hand, threading between them. After a moment, he turns his hand palm-up, and the liquid gathers in the middle of it. Alucard closes his hand around the mass and though someone might expect water to be dripping off of his hand now...it isn't. When he reopens his hand, the water has been transformed into a round orb of ice.] Is magic rare here? Or haven't I explored enough?
[He deposits the ice-ball back into his glass with a hum.]I must say, for all the new wonders this place has to offer...it is a bit
dull.
(ooc edit: considering the nature of Alucard's question, I have a small info-gathering poll for character with connections to magic.) ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
