[When Kakine woke up and received his letter, the situation struck him as an annoying change of pace, but at this point, not very surprising. His first thought was to go looking for a place to connect to the network, and the terminals were easy for him to find. Business as usual...]

Well, this is a pain in the ass. So, is this a bullshit plot by Academy City's higher ups, another prank courtesy of Asgard's supposed gods, or what?

[He's deadpan and dead serious. It has to be one of those things.]

Ah. You must be new around here.

Whatever Academy City is, it's got nothing to do with this. Neither does Norse myth, unless Ragnarok came and went when I wasn't looking.

[rubbing his temples in frustration. ] Seriously...? This is a completely new hell I've been shoved in to? What the fuck...

You catch on quick. This actually is hell; you're dead now.

Not literally hell, dumbass. Everywhere I've lived is basically hell.

I do have a few questions about this place if you have some time and courtesy. If you're going to mess with me I won't bother. Name's Kakine, by the way.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if it really was literally hell.

Yuko. I've only been here maybe a month, but I'll answer what I can.

It can always get worse...

Does anyone here have powers to speak of, or are we all on the same level here?

Huh. Not the sort of question people usually ask, but okay.

Mine work just fine, so I'm guessing it's the same for everyone else. It just depends on where in the tower you are, since some of the higher floors block supernatural abilities.

[shit eating grin.] That should work out just fine...

Any reason powers are blocked on those floors?

None I know of. Probably none anyone else knows of, either. You probably aren't gonna have much luck answering any questions that start with "why," if we're being honest here.

Great. I should have expected that. I'm not particularly used to getting straight answers, at least.

Then I think you'll manage just fine. For the time being, anyway.

Yeah, how'd you know? Thor got tired of causing massive thunderstorms so he decided that running a torture facility would be a hell of a lot more interesting.

Is that so...? I don't remember Thor ever following up on the whole God of Thunder thing. They're probably all pathetic liars.

...Are you being a smartass? Because I'm serious and I don't have the patience right now.

When you've got an infinite lifespan and the powers to back it up I don't think you give a fuck about whether you're telling the truth to a bunch of whiny people.

If you can't tell then I guess it'll just remain an unsolved mystery of the universe. Too bad.

You know, normally I'd find that attitude a nice change of pace from most people I speak to these days, but right now you're pissing me off.

Oh no, anything but that! I'm fucking trembling with fear from the idea of annoying a total stranger online.

Please excuse me while I run around the tower screaming and wailing in despair at the horrible fate that I've brought down upon me.

Online may be another matter, but if you ever piss me off in person you'd learn pretty damn quickly why it's a bad idea.

Yeah, because I always automatically believe all the bullshit tough-talking people do when they've got some distance between each other. Sorry, but odds are you probably wouldn't even hit me to begin with.

Try again when you're a little better at intimidation, ok?

I can't prove that I'm a threat from here, yeah. That's fine. You don't have to believe me now. Maybe one day you'll see what I'm capable of...or maybe I won't bother then, either. It depends on my mood.

I take it you've never crossed paths with an esper.

Yeah yeah whatever, you're a powerful moody being who can kill with the flick of a wrist if it suits your fancies and all should tremble in fear and pray that you never decide to unleash your terrible powers. Cut the garbage, all you're doing is reaffirming the fact that your head is permanently stuck up your ass.

No, apparently she had better things to do than bug the shit out of aliens who wanted nothing to do with her species in the first place. I was kind of fucking busy with things that were a bigger threat than that anyway. Go figure.

Oh stop, you're hurting my feelings.

What the hell are you even talking about? Aliens? And I'm the one spewing garbage here?

Edited 2012-07-25 01:12 (UTC)

Well, shit. Looks like being an irrepressible bitch continues to haunt my every conversation.

Oh, haven't you seen any yet? There's plenty around Torture Tower if you actually step more than three feet out the dorm door. But hey, don't let easily verifiable facts get in the way of your disbelief.

Usually I wouldn't believe anyone who said that, much less someone with an attitude like yours, but for some reason that sounds plausible right now. It's better than cupcake baking competitions, I guess.

I'm touched that you'd believe me over confectioneries. Was it the blatantly logic-breaking existence of the tower or my eloquent back and forth that did it?

The former. Don't flatter yourself, kid.

Hey, you know what they say. If you want something done right...

But good job on basic analytical skills regardless. I'm shedding tears over your ability to be more intelligent than a sea sponge right now.

Thank you, I'm very proud of my accomplishment too. I hope you too can one day achieve that level of intelligence.

Oh no, I'd never even think about climbing up onto your pedestal. After all that work and effort attempting to not be a shitstain on the underwear of your species and managing to finally do something halfway presentable after failing miserably most of your life my presence would just demean such a magical feat.

I'm not exactly a miserable failure, but okay. Whatever makes you feel better about your own miniscule accomplishments.

Aww, that's really cute and almost insulting! Too bad that making my shit miniscule relegates your crap to microscopic; but hey, whatever makes you feel better.

[ For some time Alucard is staring at you, his face like porcelain, unmoving and still. Even his eyes barely seem to move.

...

Finally he speaks and his expression lights up, it was almost as if he was surveying Kakine before he decided to reply. But now he's speaking quite cheerily, with a thick, Romanian accent. ]

I do not think this is some childish prank, we must have been brought here for a reason.

Edited (Forgot to add a subject) 2012-07-24 17:49 (UTC)

[Kakine is just a little bit put off by that and hesitates to respond.]

Are you...familiar with Asgard, then? Not the Asgard of mythology, the colorless city...?

[ Alucard smiled, quite a charming and alluring one at that, but it was in his design, his blood, to come across as harmless. Whether he truly was was another matter. ]

Asgard... [ A pause for thought ] Ah! Odin and the like? Is that not Norse legend?

Ah...No, not exactly. It's hard to explain.

Well, suffice to say that if I do not know what you're talking about then likelihood is that Asgard are not to blame.

Yeah, I figured.

I keep getting put in all these new, insufferable hellholes, run by different people. It's a bother.

[ He can't help but chuckle, this young man's apathy seems so inappropriately placed Alucard finds it a little amusing ]

A bother? You don't sound terribly bothered by it?

You could say I'm getting used to it. This one seems a bit worse than the others, but it's mostly just tiresome.

both are wrong
you got only one guess left
try again
dont just throw it away
use it like you mean it
make it mean something

My guess is that I'm in a shithole and surrounded by fucking idiots. Oh hey, that's everywhere I've been. What a surprise.

oh someone is sassy
and has a good sense of humor
youll fit in perfectly here
welcome to animus
youre correct
this place is a shithole
there are plenty of idiots
since im already here harassing you
if you have any questions
you can throw them my way

I'm not sure if I want to be considered sassy or if I care about having a sense of humor, but you're probably being sarcastic anyway.

Are you implying that you're not one of the idiots, then? I can never be sure, you know.

sarcasm is also pretty common here
i dont know
you tell me
but i guess that means you dont have any questions worth answering

I don't know why I'd trust you to give me the right answers. Most of what I've been told is blatantly wrong anyway.

because im not enough of a dick to give bullshit information about this place
as much as i love a good troll this place isnt my idea of fun

You're familiar with the gods of Asgard?

[OOPS someone's missing the point here.]

...Probably not as you know them. These gods are much more irritating.

Well the Norse gods always were known for their less than proper behavior. [Wow he is so amused right now.] Particular given their mythos gave rise to the quintessential God of Mischief. I suppose a bit of aggravation is to be expected.
