[eternallyoutrageous]

Who: Akeldama and you!
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Marsiva, First Breath, and Iskaulit
When: Beginning of November

Marsiva
[Lord Akeldama had woken not long before. He didn't feel quite like himself. He couldn't tell what was doing it more: the strange pain in the back of his head or the fact that he had essentially been ripped from his territory.

It was... different still somehow than it normally would have been.

He didn't necessarily feel like trying out this new gadget they had been given just yet so he stood by the large window looking into the blackness of space. He had always looked at it from the ground. This is what it looked like up close]


First Breath
[All of this moving around was not doing the vampire any good. Didn't they know that a vampire needed his territory in order to be settled. First one ship and now another. This was most inconvenient.

Hopefully, the moving between ships had stopped. He needed a few days to settle in, for his head to accept this ship has "his territory". He'd do better once that happens.

However, this other ship seemed to be more to his liking. The style wasn't quite what he'd do with his own house, but it was close enough and he wasn't going to scoff at it. So much better than that other ship.

So rather sitting alone in that tiny room they called a cabin, Lord Akeldama made his way to kitchen, sitting quietly by himself for the moment]


Isakulit
[Finally feeling more the thing, Lord Akeldama decided to go exploring this ship called "the Iskaulit". It certainly looked like there was more space there than on the other ships. He was right about that and was quite happy to go exploring, to see what sort of spaces there were available to the Fleeters.

He's probably not too subtle, dressed in plum colored evening jacket, gold waistcoat, high heeled boots, and a cravat of a different shade of purple that still seemed to compliment both the waistcoat and the jacket]


Broadcast
[Lord Akeldama has found himself a rather pleasing looking spot to make his post. It wouldn't do to have it look poorly behind him after]

Good afternoon, fellow passengers of this thing called "the Fleet". As I understand it, we are all trapped this positively wonderful place as part of a farce. Am I correct in this assessment? Is there anything else that I should know?

Comments

[ananym]

Possibly.

[ but it's akeldama's latest question that has him pausing. ]

Do?

[eternallyoutrageous]

I assume that you do more than sit in your house.

[ananym]

I fight the forces of Hell. More or less.

[eternallyoutrageous]

Oh my! That is some task to be charged with.

[He'd think Templars with phrasing, but he already knows that would impossible]

I would assume you are successful to still be able to talk about it.

[ananym]

[ alucard shrugs. ]

I suppose my skills are nothing to scoff at.

[eternallyoutrageous]

Not if you are still alive, darling. Not if you are.

Is this a common occupation where you are from?

[ananym]

No. It is a matter of honour. My mother was human and all she wanted was to help others.

It would be an insult to her memory to do less.

[ even if it meant killing his father. even though humans had killed her for it. ]

[eternallyoutrageous]

Very admirable. I wouldn't say I am one for revenge but-

[He trails off with the wave of his hand and one might suspect that he may have participated in revenge himself or helped instigate it, but he's not saying]

My condolences on the loss of your dear mother. At least it will not have been in vain.

[ananym]

[ ah. ]

Revenge has nothing to do with it. But thank you.

[eternallyoutrageous]

It doesn't? What does it have to do with?

[ananym]

Is doing what is right that incomprehensible?

If people are hurt, should you not act?

[eternallyoutrageous]

Yes, one should. Altruistic nature is however sadly lacking in society. Most people still want something from it. For someone to be doing it truly with no thought to themselves in some capacity is very rare.

[He's old enough that he's allowed to be cynical]

[ananym]

[ alucard is only twenty, but his backbone is steel. ]

Then perhaps that is something polite society should fix.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[He knows from experience nothing chances as a whole. But he also know its not impossible. It seems this other truly does want nothing for what he does, which actually does impress him]

Yes, my dear, quite right. It is something that should be changed. I commend you for having that belief.

[ananym]

[ hmm. ]

Thank you.

[eternallyoutrageous]

[And then as though he had completely forgotten something...]

Oh, dear, where are my manners? I haven't given a proper introduction. I am Lord Akeldama.

[ananym]

[ alucard nods politely. ]

I am known as Alucard of Wallachia.

[eternallyoutrageous]

A pleasure, my good sir.

[ananym]

Likewise, of course.

[ meeting other vampires . . . like this one. it's a little surreal. ]
