... is this box cursed to speak, perhaps? I hear many voices, and yet I see no one.

[There is a silent pause, broken eventually by the light scraping of boots on snow. Alucard is exploring the southern end of the city, just outside the dead treeline of the forest. He has been there for several hours already. So far, he has met no one... and so he

[tenkai_soul]

Alucard? That name sounds familiar...

[threshold_heir]

Apparently, I share it with a person who dwells here.

[tenkai_soul]

I think I've heard his ravings before.

[threshold_heir]

...... Ravings?

Breaking Hiatus cause I fail and can't resist sexy vampire

[loyal_cube]

It's not cursed. It's a communication device we are to use during our stay here in this city.

It'd be wise to find shelter, Mister Alucard. Not only because it's cold but there are still a few monsters that have not decided to hibernate in this weather.

LOL he's too sexy for your hiatus

[threshold_heir]

......

A... 'communication device.' Were they enchanted to receive that ability?

The snow does not trouble me. [However, he is curious.] What is the appearance of these 'monsters?'

Only thing he needs now is some shades...

[loyal_cube]

No. It's not any type of spell or magic that makes them talk. It's something humans have created all by themselves. You may hear them call it technology. It uses electronic signals to transport messages. I'm not sure how it works exactly but it is very useful, specially when you can't use any magic at all.

If you need to speak to someone in a different language, typing with it will translate your message for you.

There are quite a few monsters, sir. Anything from Zombies and spirits, to deranged cows and small bats. Most are hostile but not all. Recently, their numbers have fallen due to the snow, I believe.

Excuse me for being rude. My Name is Cube. Even if you are accustom to the snowy weather, Mister Alucard... I'd suggest finding shelter. If you had any immunity to anything, it is most likely gone due to another technological device that has been placed inside your body called a "chip." It suppresses most strengths and magic one may posses.

that image will haunt my brain forever xD

[threshold_heir]

[You have one half-vampire listening intently to your explanation. Not that he entirely understands it, but he is somewhat intrigued. And confused.]

You are saying that humans have created their own magic, of a sort? Did they use it to destroy this city?

[Noting the typing thing. That must be what the letters are for.]

I thank you for this information. I believe I will head into the city. ... How does one remove the 'chip?'

[madwashu]

[Washu couldn't help but pause at the mentioning of an all too familiar name. She clicked on the video feed to see who exactly was talking. True he didn't sound like the Alucard she knew, but it was best to be on the safe side

So have a very curious woman with a mane of red hair peering at you.]

What an interesting name. I wouldn't have guessed that there would be two running around our derelict city. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually.

[Video]

[threshold_heir]

[He is a bit...startled...when the unfamiliar woman appears on the screen. He was unaware the boxes could manifest faces as well as voices.]

I suppose two men can bear the same name. [Yet he does sound a little suspicious.]

Re: [Video]

[madwashu]

[She studies him for a few moments, taking in his pale features. A far cry from the dark haired monster that she had become fond of.]

True, it is possible. But, in my experience when two men bear a name as unique as yours, interesting things are bound to happen.

[Video]

[threshold_heir]

[He studies her as well--guardedly, little knowing what she's seeking in his features.]

It may be so. What can you tell me of this other Alucard?

too sexy for my hiatus too, even if this is a placeholder XD;

[nomnomguts]

Oh? So I suppose they've started up again.

[Aaand adopting 'helpful little girl' persona~] Ah, I'm afraid that leaving this place is more difficult than you might think.

man alucard's just getting into everyone's hiatus tonight

[threshold_heir]

What do you mean by that?

[A pause.] So I am told. However, I may still attempt it when I learn more.

oh bb~

[nomnomguts]

Oh, I was only wondering if this sudden return to established cycles was a bit of a fluke. But I suppose not~

Several people have tried. Our captors, the scientists, make themselves very difficult to find.

[threshold_heir]

Ah. People are brought here at certain times?

I do not wish to find them. I would prefer to return to my own 'world.'

[hellsingpapa]

...Your name is Alucard?

[threshold_heir]

That is my name, yes.

[Just how many people are acquainted with this other Alucard?]

[hellsingpapa]

So...Weird

Have you met the other Alucard?

[threshold_heir]

I have not.

Do you know where he may be found?
