[ 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]

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. ]

[abracafcku]

For now. No idea when it finishes though - this is my first as well.

[He shrugs.]

From what others tell me, eventually we'll get to a new place though.

[ananym]

[ alucard hums softly. ]

I hope so. I would like to see where we travel.

[abracafcku]

The last place?

A literal trash heap.

So keep your fingers crossed they don't like to do repeats on this terrible show.

[ananym]

[ well then. ]

I shall keep my hopes up.

[abracafcku]

You're not at all bothered by being in space, are you. You another one of those weirdos who's done this before?

[ananym]

No. I simply have remarkable composure.

And I have some experience with machines. Simply not with this form of travel.

[abracafcku]

[He laughs.]

Understatement of the fucking century, my dude. Most people show up here either confused or panicked, not just "where is my shirt?"

So what kind of travel and machines are you used to that being in goddamn space doesn't do anythin' for ya?

[ananym]

[ alucard takes a moment before saying. ]

My father has a magical teleporting castle where he can summon the hordes of Hell itself.

[abracafcku]

..............




[What?

The fuck????]

That's.... fun........??

[ananym]

Indeed. While most people from my era would have no comprehension of such things, I was given a thorough education on what is possible.

[ and not to ever discount any scenario. nothing is impossible. ]

[abracafcku]

Magical moving castle isn't one of those things I really blink an eye at anymore. I've seen a belt that controls nature, a cup that changes time, and I changed a guy's lower half into a spiral rock slide to get the Philosopher's Stone out of his dumb ass.

It's the "hordes of Hell" part? That's a little.... ehhhhhh?

[ananym]

That is what they are called.

[ and they're accurately named. more or less. ]

[abracafcku]

Yeah, gonna need more info on that, my dude. Hordes of hell like.... what? Demons? Monsters? What are we talking about here?

[ananym]

[ he may be enjoying this. a little. ]

Why does it matter?

[abracafcku]

Because it's both terrifying sound and interesting? Color me curious.

[ananym]

They are all manner of creatures. Demons, monsters, vampires, werewolves.
