[ 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 wouldn't rush. I'm sure you're a ratings boost already, which means a bigger first paycheck for you.

[ananym]

I'm afraid you've lost me.

[universal_charm]

According to Atroma we're on a 'reality show'. Whether that's true or not, they do actually pay us, and given the look of you, I suspect you'll be very popular.

[ananym]

[ reality . . . show. alucard can't parse it no matter how hard he tries. ]

Is that important?

[universal_charm]

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what you believe. Being popular usually means they give us more spending cash along the way, at least.

[ananym]

[ popular huh. ]

I cannot say I've ever been popular before. Infamous seems more likely.

[universal_charm]

At some point, is there really any difference?

[ananym]

There is, when it comes to the treatment we receive.

Not that it bothers me personally.

[universal_charm]

Trust me, here, there really isn't going to be a difference.

My name's Jim Kirk, by the way. Captain of the Tourist.

[ananym]

[ he hopes not. ]

Well-met. I am Alucard of Wallachia.

[universal_charm]

So, when did you arrive in the Fleet? Recently, I would guess. You're a new face on the comms.

[ananym]

[ alucard nods, tucking some of his long hair away from his face. ]

I have only just arrived. With no shirt, it seems.

[universal_charm]

Honestly, I would take that was a blessing. It's either no shirt or a jumpsuit that suits precisely no one. Shirtless is the better option.

[ananym]

[ is it though. ]

I doubt it would be appropriate when I need to travel between ships. Or planets.

[universal_charm]

_{[ You'll think so when that paycheck comes in. ]}

Rather depends on the planet, I find.

[ananym]

Even so, it's not something I'm likely to do.

[universal_charm]

To each their own. But if you can't find a shirt, I have spares you could borrow until you get some to your liking. No sense in you being made uncomfortable when the situation is already like it is.

[ananym]

Thankfully someone was kind enough to lend me a few.

[ though alucard isn't sure why shin-ah had so many shirts to begin with. ]
