wallachia man fights spaceship, loses.

[miraclewhip]

Who: Trevor Fucking Belmont
Broadcast: Network - OTA
Action: On the Marsiva for about 12 seconds before being beamed off to the Vanquish
When: Immediately before/during/after the Shuffle.

[ Is he trying to beat up the Marsiva? Yes, he is trying to beat up the Marsiva. Just slamming his shoulder and fists into a wall over and over. This continues for maybe a couple of seconds before he's not there anymore.

He yelps and backs away quickly from the very colourful, paper-based attack that gets launched at him as soon as he arrives on the Vanquish ] The fuck?!

[ He takes a moment to get his bearings. This one's smaller than the last one. And then he's yelling, in no direction in particular because what he's addressing is the Marsiva- ]

Get back here and fight me, you cowardly fucking castle! Don't try to hide behind your children!

[ it is beneath him to huff so he doesn't, but it's a close thing. ]

You are still being watched, Belmont. Have a care of how you speak.

[miraclewhip]

Watched? You mean the- ugh.

[ He's starting to- remember is the wrong word. Starting to realize that he knows what's going on. ]

So you're saying I have to pretend to be sober all the fucking time.

[ananym]

[ dryly. ]

Even my expectations are not that high. Though I'm curious how you intend to put on such an act. Have you ever experienced sobriety?

[miraclewhip]

Have you ever experienced not having a stick up your arse?

[ananym]

No, I merely defer to your experience in embarrassing situations.

[miraclewhip]

I don't even know what that fucking means.

[ Sigh. ]

If I'm going to be being entertaining, I'm going to do it drunk.

[ananym]

[ sigh. ]

We still have a task ahead of us, Belmont.

[miraclewhip]

And you can throw a bucket of cold water on me when you need me to do it.

I need to be sober to get disemboweled by your father. Not to do anything else.

[ananym]

[ "living was never the point". alucard needed determined people. but he's not sold on fatalism. ]

No one is getting disemboweled.

[miraclewhip]

Drained and tossed in a latrine, then. Or put on a spike. I'm happy to consider other options.

[ Historically, Belmonts meeting Dracula have not had a nice time. ]

But if this shit is happening, slowing us down, then I don't need to be sober until it's over and done with.

[ananym]

You need to be in peak physical condition for this to work. Along with your senses. You barely managed with me.

[miraclewhip]

I'm just out of practice.

[ He says, as if there's ever going to be time or an opportunity to get back into practice. ]

Once we have a plan, I'll sober up. Until then there's no point. Besides, I think better with a drink in me. [ This is false. ]

You are in a world that knows not the value of the name Belmont. If that is what you wish to teach them, then go right ahead.

[miraclewhip]

Fuck, that's low.

[ He mumbles that under his breath. But, you know. Vampire hearing. ]

I'm not going to make an ass out of myself. [ He is. He absolutely is. He already did. ] Believe it or not, a beer or two to get my head in order doesn't turn me into a raging menace.

[ananym]

[ it is and he knows it. but alucard needs this to work. wherever they may be. everything that he is, is riding on their success. break or not. ]

Have you ever stopped at two?

[miraclewhip]

Of course I have.

[ Well. Not often. And only rarely out of any form of self-control. But when you get drunk as often as Trevor does, sheer law of numbers is on your side when it comes to ever having been stopped at any specific number of drinks. ]

[ananym]

No doubt coin was an issue then.

[ this is so petty, but alucard can't help it. ]

[miraclewhip]

Or perhaps, you meddling vampire fuck, I can actually stop when I know I'm ready to.

[ 'Can' and 'will' are two very different things. ]

[ananym]

Forgive me if I'm not terribly convinced by your will power.
