So... Let me get this straight. [ Someone sounds grumpy and tired and there's a definite hint of an accent. ] We've been rescued by a group of kind-hearted assholes from Gamma-Beta-Three-A that felt we've just gotta wear collars to match our winning personalities, right? Or am I missing something from the care package left behind in the room?

[ There's a pause filled in with the familiar sound of someone lighting up a cigarette. ]

And I thought this sort of thing only happened in bad movies...

Hey! Anyone around?

[ Ah, yes, Alucard recognises you ]

I'm quite sure that sarcasm will not help the situation.

[ooc: Don't mind Alucard being frosty :D he's definitely gonna grow to like Sho, I'm sure of it!]

[ Here. Have a scowl back. ]

It's either that or shoot holes in this thing but I didn't want to waste the bullets.

Why would shooting it help?

Cuz I don't wanna break my only knife on the damn thing. [ A sigh. He's grouchy today. ] I just wanted to finish what I was doing.

You are constantly angry, you act like such a child.

What were you doing before you got here? Stabbing machines?

[ He just sort of snorts, a flicker of a smile appearing and gone again. There was a bit of Kei in those words. ] I hate leaving things unresolved. It's messy and it tends to bite me in the ass.

I was having a serious discussion with my brother-in-law. [ Involving bullets, but let's not go into it. ]

[ Alucard caught that smile and recalled how very much he enjoyed human company and how terrible it was ~~for the mortals...~~ for him to keep it. ]

Well, unless your brother-in-law comes here too it will have to wait, getting angry over unfinished business won't finish it.

He can deal with the fallout on his own end then. I was done with that anyways; all that was left was what remained between us.

[ The dhampir pauses, and his expression softens somewhat ]

Did something bad happen between you?

He turned his back on us in exchange for power and a better suit.

Ah, greed. A sin not exclusive to men I can assure you.

Perhaps it is best that you did not finish your conflict.

Maybe... [ Just sighs a little. The anger is there, but so was a lot of emotions. ] He said that he decided to protect his people by joining them, even though they caused a lot of damage to us over the years.

There are times when we cannot see the logic in others, even in our blood relations, you need to let go of your anger and guilt. At least while you are here. It will do you no good.

[ Alucard knew all too well what it was to be betrayed by blood ]

[ And he just makes a face. ] Do all vampires sound like they've eaten fortune cookies?

[ "fortune" cookies Alucard knew nothing about, but cookies? Sweet food? Oh yes, he liked those very much ]

Why do you ask?

Do you have any?

Every one that I've talked to is always spouting off poetry and predictions like those notes inside those cookies.

...No. Maybe there's some in the eating place.

These sweets have notes inside them? Ah! How novel!

I had no intention to speak in poetry to you, I suppose I feel obligated to give my opinion from time to time, I realise it is worth little to you but I would volunteer it nevertheless.

I do not have the best track record for giving good advice though.

Someone in America invented them.

If you do, I'm gonna start getting grouchy again. There's nothing like bad poetry from a vampire.

Who does? Sooner or later they end up wrong.

[ And Sho had managed to make the dhampir chuckle once again ]

I resent that, I believe poetry has nothing to do with one's nature. Vampire or otherwise.
