[ 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?

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.

[abracafcku]

Entertainment, my dude! Like a traveling show or a play or something, but it's seen by everyone all over the place.

[He says with confidence! Even though he only learned what a TV was here, too.]

[ananym]

That sounds a little disturbing.

[ he does not mind entertainment for the masses, but he can see that going south very quickly. ]

[abracafcku]

Depends on the programming, I guess. I hosted a cooking show at home - nice and wholesome. [Up until Glamor Springs]

So whatever we are? I guess our rating would depend on the shit people get up to on here.

[ananym]

And what would that be? The shit that people get up to?

[abracafcku]

Nooo idea, my man. Other than what me and Lup've gotten up to, I don't have a window into the lives of all the other nerds on this Fleet. Probably the usual stuff though - fights, drama, being boring, romance, pranks, who knows.

[ananym]

[ he frowns. it doesn't even make a dent on his face. ]

I'm unlikely to fulfill much of that criteria.

[abracafcku]

So what're you going to do here? Sit in your room and brood in the darkness?

[ananym]

That seems like an odd activity, but no.

I have goals to fulfill.

[abracafcku]

Care to share, my man?

[ananym]

There is someone I need to kill.

[abracafcku]

Wow, you've been here like what...twenty minutes? And you already have a death vendetta?

[ananym]

[ he's going to give taako a minute to comprehend what he said. ]

[abracafcku]

[Taako's an idiot, Alucard, don't expect him to comprehend anything. He just stares back for a second and then shrugs.]

I guess a guy's gotta have hobbies, even if it's killing people.
