Good binge choice! :> OT3 is game canon, for the record.

Of course.
[It wasn't his to give, but well, clearly it has a purpose now, keeping Noctis from getting rain soaked.]
The roads are the ultimate problem. I have a theory with regards to origin, as Tsakál has been responsible for trying to create creatures to help with the flooding, but this hypothesis doesn't feel entirely correct.

I've seen those. Couple of the fishermen down here have stories about being dragged out of the lake by a waterhorse. But why would she make creatures to help rescue people and then make more to try and drown them again?
[ He knows she's capricious, but Alucard's right: it doesn't quite make sense. ]
Epythimetikon's skeleton is upriver from the lake, and I know it wasn't like this before the war. What if the dragon's blood got into the groundwater? Into the river?
[ Not that Noctis would know anything about the myriad ways dragon's blood can poison a living system. Just. You know. A guess. ]

It's always possible that one's intentions can go astray, but that feels like an overly simplistic explanation of what's been happening.
[He hates it, Trevor hates it, Sypha hates it, and they're all very damp. It's not a great look.]
Hm. That's...[Alucard's quiet, then he nods.] Yes, I think that's a worthy avenue of investigation.

What, you mean aside from discovery of our natures and the inevitable backlash from it?
Oh, our nature already provides some insulation, that's a matter of fact that I've witnessed. What that doesn't disqualify is that either a) they'll find some other way to turn us all into a monstrous form or b) someone else who is responsible for this unwanted resurrection shall do it instead.
It'd explain why the song's the same, anyway.
Don't suppose there's any way to test the water, is there?
[ Other than drinking it and seeing if anybody gets weird. No thanks. ]

There should be. Water and soil analysis would be the most helpful and useful approaches, but then the question becomes that of adequate equipment and appropriate spell work to get reliable results.
...How about water, soil, and one of those rats? A dead one, obviously. I can get you all three.
If it's anything like a century ago, we could probably find what we need for testing in Thalass—uh. Didymos.
[ Still not used to that name, either. ]

It's less obtaining those and more keeping the samples clean that I'm concerned about. I have small ones for water and dirt, I'm not sure I have anything rat sized.
[Also, he's not sure he wants anything rat sized, although the idea of someone leaving a dead rat is like, the least weird thing Alucard's had to deal with in bit.]
We've made our encampment though, and I am loathe to leave it.

In this weather? I'll bet you don't.
[ Nevermind why he's out getting soaked.Mostly just trying not to stay still too long with his thoughts. ]
If you tell me what else you need for testing, I can find it for you. Probably.

Well, I'd rather you not be leaving me dead rats. You're not a cat after all, and plants are just as good and reliable for this as anything else.
Let me double check the components and I'll send a list in a few minutes.

Who wouldn't want the cold corpse of a singing death rat?
[ Said dryly. Yeah, okay, he's aware. ]
Alright, alright. Stay safe and dry in the meantime. Getting weird out there.

Who wouldn't indeed Noctis.
[Thanks buddy.]
It is.
I trust everything else is as well as it can be on your end?

Oh, you know. Just getting used to my new existence as an aimless, rootless walking corpse. What's not to love?
[ It might be raining, but at least he's dry in spirit. ]
If I ever find out who's responsible—
Well. They'd better hope I don't.

Mm. You and I are in absolute agreement on that front. It's...more complicated if the status of revived extends beyond simply yourself.
[ There's a very long pause. ]
Maybe you're right. Lot of dead people laying out there who probably deserve a second chance. Some of them are getting it now.
You've got at least one person you care about with you, yeah? Probably makes you feel a little differently about it.

Mmm. It's the perspective of someone isn't only meddling with your bones, but someone else's. Your dead, who don't need to be dragged into all of this.
[There have been....well, Alucard has always been low key furious about anyone touching Trevor's and Sypha's bones, but he'd be an utter liar if he did not admit that having them back was wonderful now. The real secret fear now was that someone might try the same stunt with Dracula and that? That's a thing to fear.]

Maybe.
[ Not sounding totally convinced here. ]
If you can have them with you again like this, does it matter so much about the details?
[ Maybe not the greatest path of thought to be going down, but he's always been a little selfish in moments of crisis. And right now? He's living his worst nightmare. ]

Some days, I care very, very much. Others, the thought does not occur. To call the matter complicated would be a gross understatement, I'm afraid.
...Might be better not to think too hard about it. We're stuck with it now. Might as well figure out how to live with it.
That's much easier said than done. I think that if I was alone, I'd be far more occupied.
Are you okay for living space?
Are you okay for living space?
Psh, not like I'm housing an entire family. One room at the Duke's plenty of space for just me by myself.
Plus, it's easy to pay for. I'll live.

It's worth asking after.
I'll leave you be and let you know what our investigations result in.
