[ 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]

As I said. I'm not interested.

I drink blood but I need less than normal vampires. As I am only half.

[abracafcku]

Does that mean you eat half regular food as well? Because in that case, you're going to be sorely disappointed here unless you're either on the Heron or the First Breath.

[ananym]

I can.

And I imagine I will cross that bridge when I need to. A delightful cook has offered to share their work with me.

[abracafcku]

Oh?

[Lup, was it you?]

Might I ask the name of said cook? A guy's gotta know his competition.

[ananym]

Belthazar, I believe. He was also one of the fey.

[abracafcku]

[Oh the squirmy guy. Taako snickers a little.]

Yeah, I know Belthy. He's a nervous little dude, ain't he?

[ananym]

Was he? I thought he was charming.

[ or maybe that's just alucard. ]

[abracafcku]

Yeah, he's got a thing about elves. They apparently super fucked his world so, you know, not great. Me being an elf and all, he looked like he was about to vibrate outta his skin at the sight of me.

[Taako laughs.]

I was tempted to mess with him, but it wasn't really worth it at the time.

[ananym]

[ alucard had noticed that. ]

That is for the best I imagine.

[abracafcku]

No, it wasn't. It would have been hella funny; but there was a bigger asshole picking on him, so me being the kind-hearted fella I am, I just had to step in.

[And steal a shitload from that guy, but whatever. Fuck that trash planet.]

Dunno how he cooks though. I have a feeling inviting myself over for a meal might go very poorly.

[ananym]

Perhaps he needs more time.

[ there are things even alucard would be uncomfortable with, though he hides it extremely well. ]

[abracafcku]

[Taako shrugs on camera and twirls a strand of hair around his finger.]

If he stays a nervous wreck around me, it's no skin off my teeth. More fun that way anyway.

[ananym]

Perhaps I will share with him the story of how you thought I might eat you. That might lessen the nervousness.

[abracafcku]

For the record, Taako would have made an amazing snack. This beauty isn't just skin deep, you know.

[NOT THAT HE'S VOLUNTEERING, but he has to have it known that he's a damn fine treat.]

[ananym]

[ alucard merely looks bemused, not saying anything. ]

[abracafcku]

[He sighs and tosses his hair over his shoulder.]

So which ship are you on? Curious and all.

[ananym]

I believe it is called the Red Fish.

[abracafcku]

[Which means that's where Belth is. Good to know.]

Oh dunk, I just realized.

What's your name, L'oreal? I'm Taako.

[ananym]

[ he tilts his head slightly. ]

I am Alucard.

[abracafcku]

[....Isn't that just---?

Taako bites his lip a little to keep from laughing. Naming a half-vampire Alucard? Okay then.]

Hail and well met, Alucard. Welcome to the universe's shittiest reality show!

[ananym]

[ it is. alucard cocks his head, wondering if taako has noticed that or laughing about something else. ]

So I've been told. Though I'm less familiar with "reality shows".

[abracafcku]

Basically it's where people watch you live your life because it's infinitely more interesting than theirs. Usually has less kidnapping, more scripting, and there's always that one guy everyone hates.

[ananym]

What is it that they expect to see?

[abracafcku]

[Taako shrugs.]

What does anyone want to see on TV? Drama, relationships, pranks, craziness, someone screaming at someone else, weave snatching, who knows?

[ananym]

[ a little wry. ]

You realize I have no idea what a TV is.
