For lastvoyages: Journal Entry 35 [video]

[Dracula sits in the semidark, his shades drawn and the fire in his grate down to embers. He stares at the screen and his eyes flicker slightly. He drums his fingers briefly on his desk, where the communicator sits, but says nothing. Hesitates. Then sighs and sits back.]

This is pointless.

Bless you.

Listen, are you still interested in doing horror pictures? we're wrapping on the Barrens, but you do have a sort of authentic gothic charm after playing Dracula..

[feels_no_love]

Well, thank you, I--wait--

After playing Dracula?

[sewingtheguards]

We've got one.

[There's the sound of chattering in a sibilant language and then shushes.]

Is this the Barge?

[feels_no_love]

Yes, you have reached the Barge. May I be of some assistance, Madame?

[sewingtheguards]

Junior Apothecary Amelia of the Royal Apothecary Society. We're looking for the Banshee Queen.

[feels_no_love]

OH, I remember her! She was here when I first came aboard. Like a fairy statue carved out of ice.

But I fear that she is no longer here.

Nothing is every pointless.

[feels_no_love]

Persephone!

...

Are you all right?

[persephonepearl]

I am well, Vladislaus Dracula. I am home.

[feels_no_love]

Good...I mean, if you are happy there. I remain aboard, though that is likely little surprise.

Your blessings saved the gardens from the recent corruption.
