[ there's a pretty vampire, looking into the camera curiously before speaking. ]

I have been meaning to ask. Is there anything that you have learned here that has changed your lives?

[generalgrievous]

What could be learned here that would be of such importance?

[He's new. He doesn't yet see any point to it.]

[ananym]

If I knew, the question would not be posed.

But I suspect there is, regardless, some knowledge to be gained.

[generalgrievous]

Of how to win the war?

[ananym]

[ er. ]

What war?

[generalgrievous]

Any war.

[There's always a war where he's from.]

[abracafcku]

Yes.

Some of you poor saps don't know what pancakes or waffles are. It breaks my heart.

[ananym]

I was not aware you had one of those.

[abracafcku]

I don't. It died the moment you said you didn't know a proper breakfast.

[ananym]

I thought that happened when you realized you weren't attractive enough to be meal-worthy.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I've learnt that the world is a lot bigger and stranger than originally thought and it already was pretty big and strange.

[ananym]

Has that changed you though?

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Admittedly no, but I don't feel like I've been here long enough for that kind of change to happen?

What have you learnt here?

[ananym]

I have not learned much. Hence why I asked.

[sinistral]

Wouldn't the arrival here count as such for most?

[ananym]

[ that's a good point. alucard visibly takes time to mull it over. ]

Yes. But I would not say it changed me as much as broadened my perspective somewhat.

[sinistral]

That's a polite way of looking at what amounts to kidnapping.

[There is a hint of a smile at the corners of Bucky's lips though; they are kidnapped, technically, but there's no sense in dwelling morosely on the negatives of it. At least, not unless it leads to constructive conversation.]

What kind of change were you hoping for?

[ananym]

[ alucard can be unfailingly polite. at times. but he smiles in turn, soft. ]

I'm not sure. Something that allows me to grow instead of stagnation.

[ he recognizes that he's a bit . . . stiff. alucard has a backbone of steel and he doesn't bend very easily. ]

[postocular]

Doesn't matter who you are, everyone looks out for each other, and the world is a lot bigger than I thought it ever could be.

[ananym]

[ huh. ]

Do you think that of all people here?

[postocular]

Most of 'em, yeah. We're all stuck in the same situation, why not? There's always going to be assholes, but they aren't the majority.

[ananym]

[ that's fair. ]

True, I haven't noticed many mischief makers.

[theirondragon]

[That's going to be getting a chuckle.]

Shit, yeah. You ever taken a hot shower? Do it.

[ananym]

[ hm. that's fair, though alucard had those in the castle. ]

I have. It is not new to me, I'm afraid.

[theirondragon]

Yeah, Okay. What about these things?

[He taps the control on his communicator.]

[ananym]

Those are new, though I grew up with distance mirrors.

Mostly I am speaking philosophically. To our connections in this place and beyond.
