What is... Oh, I see, brilliant.

[sloshing sound of water]

This is absolutely ridiculous and far too bloody early to bother me over something like this.

[[Alucard]]I'm positioned on water, Alucard. Stay where you are and I do hope that your current location is in fact the cushioned comfort of your coffin. Do not seek me. Is this clear to you?

[Eden's spare apartment may not be a luxury hotel, but Frankie could swear the beaten-up couch was more comfortable last night than it is now. And warmer. And less dark and dank.
Which means, obviously, he isn't there anymore.]

Fuck, again?

[With the snarled curse he tries to orient himself, the motion rocking the-- boat? He's on a boat, yes, and as it wobbles he wobbles with it, grumbling, not yet having noticed that he isn't alone.]

[Action!]

[hiscountess]

You will get used to this.

[The voice is fairly dry and comes from the depths of the shadows of the extreme opposite of the boat. The light of Integra's communicator illuminates her long blonde hair and the brim of her spectacles. She didn't need those, not as she required the patch over her left eye, but she kept them out of nostalgia.]

Curse day, I'd assume.

[She is nonchalant as she can spare with all the water around her. While, she isn't bound to the limitations of most Nosferatu just like Alucard isn't, copious amounts of water body and sunlight aren't amongst her favourite settings. Cranky Integra being forced to a boat trip so early in the morning before her breakfast does not make the kindest journey companion, but even then she shall not attack a bystander. Even if his blood smelled appealing, she had standards of behaviour.]

We shall stay like this until midnight, so make yourself comfortable. This would be a long journey until we reach the end.

[It's obvious by the way he starts that he didn't see her before she spoke. He doesn't look scared, just unsettled-- mainly because this the second time in a day or so that he's ended up in an unfamiliar setting, with no warning. But he's trained to react, to stay calm, and so he doesn't panic.]

This is still the city then?

[He squints. Damn but humanity has a lot of downsides. She sounds familiar, though.]

You were on the computer yesterday, right? We talked?

[Action!]

[hiscountess]

Correct in all accounts.

[Integra doesn't even observe his reactions, she's busy typing a reply to Alucard with her device, with her eye focused on the screen. She assents when the man asks if they have talked. She recognizes his voice from one of the most recent arrivals.]

I told you about the curses.

[hercount]

Tche. As though I would leave you out on the water.

Stay there. I meant it!

Countess...

[hiscountess]

Shut it and obey what I say. You are so bloody reckless, Count.

[trappedinresin]

Integra...?

Is everything alright?

[hiscountess]

Absolutely. I was merely disoriented when I awoke, Yuuki.

[[Private]]

Are you home or in one of these bloody boats?

[Private]

[trappedinresin]

Luckily un-cursed.

[Private]

[hiscountess]

Are you home? Keep an eye on the Count. I don't want him to seek me until this ends.
