dracula's moving castle

At the moment, nothing. My residence is also not within the city itself, so I cannot speak to current rumor.

[TMW you live in the mountains like your crazy vampir dad.]

...Fuck.

[forswore]

that would be a fair description of the state of present affairs, yes. though the cult was unable to install koroc as a king, it's clear they're continuing to have an interest in interfering with the affairs of the living beyond raising the dead. have a care.

[ Contrary to rumor, Daud does have a sense of humor, it's just usually shitty. moving on... ]

was there anything else at einjar? were the kobolds there still?

[cryptsleeper]

[He's so glad he's in the mountains right now.]

Maybe having him be king was just one route of many that they chose to take, and his potential loss was factored into their plans all along. Whatever those plans may be. This does, to me, confirm the need to take care of that blue dragon.

[Alucard doesn't know Daud well enough to pick up on the humor, and in discussing dragons and that cult, he never will have any desire to make light of the situation.]

There were. They exited when they did, along with Monty. He seemed...perfectly within reason. A contrast to what you've encountered.

[forswore]

the blue dragon may have gone mad. if so, putting out of its misery would be a kindness.

did the knights attempt to take him in for questioning again?

[cryptsleeper]

May isn't even a question anymore. The issue then becomes killing a dragon.

[...mods haven't said as far as i know, soooo:]

Not to my knowledge. But I was occupied with issues brought upon that madness of that ringing.

[forswore]

[ Dragons aren’t affected by the sound, but there’s no way to say that without it then looping around to the question of how he knows that, so... ]

do you intend to search for that blue dragon, then?

[cryptsleeper]

There is more immediate aftermath from that expedition that I must attend to within my own household.

I am also sure with the surplus of young dragons now, a simple fact is likely to be taken poorly. I am not the correct person to suggest such a thing.

[Read: Too many people know Alucard's got personal dragon problems and out of his mouth, everything is just bias and bitterness.]

[forswore]

[ Ha ha ha. Yeah ... Daud's not a fan. ]

if previous experience is anything to go by, that cult will force the matter one way or another. they may be content to remain in the shadows for now, but if their ultimate goal is conquest, they'll have to announce themselves and their intentions eventually.

[cryptsleeper]

[Welcome to the club, buddy.]

You are doubtlessly correct. Being proactive and preventing that requires an extensive amount of resources and far more people.

[forswore]

or some very resourceful people in the right place.



how did you get out of einjar? the singing waters stopped, but i don't know if that means the curse was broken or not.

[cryptsleeper]

I fully expect it is column A and column B.

I don't know if it was fully broken or not either. There was a break in the ice wall that kept everyone trapped in - we all left without questioning why, as that singing water was close to driving everyone to madness.

Survival was the word of the day.

[forswore]

if that's the case, i expect there'll be another expedition to einjar in the future.

[cryptsleeper]

Doubtlessly, as I believe the fear is that whatever lies there would spread to Krimnos first before the other cities.

I do not know if I would be so bold as to attempt to join this third adventure.

[forswore]

even the deathless have something to fear.

[cryptsleeper]

What, you mean aside from discovery of our natures and the inevitable backlash from it?

[forswore]

i was contemplating the likelihood of being corrupted into some monstrous form, since the cult's gotten such a taste for it.

unless we're useless for the purpose of their rituals.

[cryptsleeper]

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.
