[ 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?

Comments

[ananym]

[ he chuckles, a low sibilant sound. ]

I will admit, I never expected such a welcome.

[ alucard was expecting pitchforks, torches, angry mobs. that sort of thing. ]

[abracafcku]

What can we say? People here are thirsty as hell.

[He being among them, despite having the one guy he was actually interested in show up.]

[ananym]

[ "thirsty as hell". that's a new expression. ]

I shall take that for the compliment that it is.

[abracafcku]

As you should.

[But circling back?]

But when you say you "don't feel cold," is that a medical thing or....?

[ananym]

I am a vampire.

Honestly, it's surprising that most people have not noticed that immediately.

[abracafcku]

[....Huh. Werewolves, elves, gods, humans, robots and vampires? Well then.]

Well dunk, color me embarrassed. You're probably the first one I've ever met so that could be why? I just thought you were hot.

[ananym]

With fangs?

[ because those are noticeable when he speaks. ]

--> video;

[abracafcku]

I wasn't gonna kink-shame you. People are into all sorts of things.

[Also? He flicks his video on.]

Besides, I'm an elf - like I can really comment on non-human features.

[ananym]

[ ah. another fey creature. fascinating. ]

I do not think it would be insulting to say so. At any rate, I am only half.

[abracafcku]

Didn't know that was a thing, but cool. So which half of which did you inherit? Still with the blood-drinking and inability to sunbathe or the glittering type?

[ananym]

[ he smiles. ]

I can drink blood and walk in the sun bathe. Unfortunately, I do not think I'm capable of glittering.

[abracafcku]

[Can is an important word - it isn't need. Makes him a little less threatening.]

Well, until we find body glitter. Then you can definitely shine it up. Don't limit your potential, my dude.

[ananym]

My potential for . . . physical shine?

[ because that's a new one. ]

[abracafcku]

Sure, why not?

Ugh, now I miss not only manicures, but body glitter. This needs to be rectified immediately.

[He sighs because this Fleet is really missing out on being Extra AF.]

[ananym]

[ what is a manicure. also alucard can grow his nails at will. ]

Good luck to your quest, but I do not think it will help me much.

[abracafcku]

Don't be so quick to dismiss it! You might need it someday for higher ratings? Or just because we finally get to a plane that isn't a giant floating garbage heap and need to look A-May-Zing for some reason.

Nothing can ruin your first impression more than ratty nails or a lackluster appearance.

[ananym]

I can grow my nails at will.

And I suspect that my first impression was rather . . . notable.

[abracafcku]

[Mkay, that's a weird skill.]

Okay, but what about your cuticles? The edges? Your nail health and shape? It's a lot more than just growing them out, my dude.

But most def about your entrance. A+ on that one.

[ananym]

Thank you.

And I suppose I will cross that bridge when I need to.

[abracafcku]

First thing is to find a shirt, I take it?

[ananym]

Someone rushed over to hand a few to me.

[abracafcku]

Tragedy.

[He sighs sadly and then shrugs.]

But hopefully it's not that godawful jumpsuit thing.

[ananym]

I rather avoid those if I can.

[ they don't sound very limber. ]

[abracafcku]

Saaaame.

I burnt mine right after I arrived. We're in the midst of what's called a "drift" period, so we're on our way to the next planet. Fingers crossed it has better shopping.

[ananym]

So we're traveling only?

[ shame. he would have liked to reach a planet. ]
