[ broadcast. ]

[ when alucard woke up, he saw metal and wondered briefly if he was trapped in another coffin. but clarity comes soon after and he notices the bright, strange lights. similar to the kind that reside in his father's castle but . . . better developed. smoother, even. alucard rises into the air before letting his feet touch the ground. strange as this may seem, alucard isn't one to panic. answers will come and he will find them. at the very least, this does not seem to be his father's work.

one could consider that a mercy.

after some time, alucard finally finds the communicator and manages to turn it on. people would notice immediately that he is extremely pale and handsome. they would also notice he's bare chested. when he speaks, it's polite and soft. ]

Greetings.

[ a pause as alucard wonders if it is working. still he forges on. ]

I seem to be missing a few of my clothes. Particularly my shirt. Where might I find some?

I am afraid I do not have the luxury of time. I need to return to my world and put an end to a madman.

[ yeah he did just call his father that with a straight face. ]

And I am difficult to wound and unlikely to fall ill.

[Libra shakes his head.] The ship has shuttles, but they can't travel far, and none of us know what direction 'home' might be found in.

One of the capabilities the Atroma apparently demonstrate is the ability to return people to exactly when and where they belong, when they grow bored of us. Those who arrive from the same world never seem to note the absence of others who have been taken. Your madman won't have time to accomplish anything dire without you there to stop him.

[ananym]

I'm afraid things are quite dire already.

[ but he'll have to believe that. there's no way alucard can work all this machinery and find his way home. he doesn't like it, this sickly feeling of helplessness. he's always been powerful. strong.

he can't afford to fail here. ]

But I am patient. If there is a way, it will be found.

[hollowedfaith]

And you're far from the only one looking.

[A gentle smile, clearly trying to lighten the mood a little bit.] I think that overview covers our situation, for the most part. If you'd like to ask about anything in more detail, I'll do my best to answer.

[ananym]

There is one. I'm used to having a sword. Is there a place to procure one?

[hollowedfaith]

I believe there is a forge on the Iskaulit, the larger ship which holds most of the common areas shared by the Fleet as a whole. I'm not sure who maintains it, but you might be able to inquire after a weapon there.

[ananym]

[ a forge. with luck, alucard could make one of his own. ]

I shall look into it. Thank you.

[hollowedfaith]

You're most welcome.

I'll leave you to get settled, but by all means don't hesitate to ask if there's anything else you need. All of us are in this together, for better or worse.

[ananym]

Of course. I will be sure to . . . call upon you.
