I suppose it's best to be acquainted in this way. The message system is much more advanced than I would have anticipated; quick and efficient. Good.

I am Alucard. I see no point in compromising the truth, so I shall say it now to spare wretched and unpleasant surprises: I was sired by a vampire, my mother a human. So few are there like me, but we are called dhampir.

If you have no knowledge of what this means, I will explain and answer your questions accordingly, should you have them.

In any case, I will do whatever it takes to ensure we all leave this place as soon as possible.

I have no doubt some of us have certain deadlines to keep.

Hey man are you mad at me?

I say 'crazy' a lot.

Is the castle guy your friend? I wasn't trying to be shitty about your friend, man. I'm sorry if that was shitty.

Why are you pursuing this topic?

[crayzies]

I dunno what do you usually do when you're lost in space with a bunch of strangers and psis one of them off by asking more questions about the anecdote they shared with you on the Internet but the anecdote seemed important and maybe we need allies because kidnapped?

[if he were on audio too, he would have had to pause to breathe. thank god for texting.]

[reposing]

I don't need a witless ally who cannot control his string of thoughts, or know when to leave well enough alone.

I owe you no explanation for the lord of the castle in my world, and I advise you to stop pressing the matter. If you wish to apologize, then leave it as that.

[crayzies]

Hey man I'm super controlling my string of thoughts.

If we're allies, don't you think I should know what you were gonna tell me about similar shit hitting the fan in this world and yours?

Come on. I need to get home. I'm sure you got your people and your duties at home too.

What do I need to do to get this info?

[reposing]

I am well aware of the duties that await me in Wallachia. I hardly need such a reminder.

I fail to see what purpose of knowing more about the ruler of the castle will bring, but I will tell you this: the castle's interiors, where it went, and those that he commanded were by his whim. The exterior may even change shape. It was a compilation of science and magic that formed the castle.

It could emerge anywhere he wished it on Earth. Its reach was not to the cosmos that I knew of, but I would not be surprised if the interiors of this place has some of its former residents haunting it in some way -- or whatever they may have run into.

Is that enough?

[crayzies]

Yeah.

[there's a long pause.]

That does sound a lot like this place we're in, even if maybe the range was less.

Look I'm sorry for pissing you off. For real, man. Is there any way I can make it up to you? I figured out where the bar is. And I could tell you about the aliens where I came from.

[reposing]

[A small sigh. Zack ultimately seems a bit foolhardy but without malicious intent.]

I forgive you. You would not know why it would have upset me so.

Very well. Tell me of your aliens.

[crayzies]

Like there's a couple different kinds, and I've only met a few. Some of them have organizations for like, protecting the universe from people who want to destroy it or take over, right? But them and their enemies, they both have this crazy technology that's basically like magic. We got a robot who can talk, AI and everything. Spaceships that can fly to other planets, but also these ground transportation machine things that can look like giant animals. Or people. The cockpit is like in the head with the controls and stuff.

Uh, do all these words make sense? I didn't now what a dhampir was so I dunno if you guys know 'spaceship.'

[reposing]

Is it a ship that travels in space?

[It's asked with immense amusement.]

[crayzies]

Yeah, you got it.

[he's not self-conscious enough to be embarrassed.]

I guess that's where we is right now.

[reposing]

Is this not more of a station than a ship?

[crayzies]

Yeah? I dunno. I guess they call it a station. Kind of assumed it flew around and shit. Like a real big ship.

Where I come from I uh, heard they can even bring people back to life. But only like, once in forever. Gotta have a real special burst of energy. It's almost like magic.

Are you magic?

[reposing]

Most of the time, those who do manage to return to life do not return quite right. A great deal of energy or magic would qualify to stand as a possibility for that.

Partially, I suppose. I am able to perform some magic. Not so much right now.

[crayzies]

I think the guy who did it in our world turned out okay. I don't mean Jesus. His name wasn't Jesus. It was this whole thing. But yeah, it sure as Hell wasn't natural.


Do you need some extra energy to get your magic back? What's up?

[reposing]

I would need more blood. Something that I would not take, but request of another.
