[It is halfway through April. They have two weeks left, and progress has at least been made. Sypha's figured out a myriad of ways to attack the estate outright. Sypha has also totally destroyed Walter's castle, and so there is at least one demon put to bed in this mess.
Names have been narrowed down. Alucard has managed to go to the area around the estate and back (he travels the fastest now, what with the lightning), confirming that there are missing persons every so often, and livestock problems with a similar pattern. How to understand and interpret the information is in Trevor's very capable hands.
There has also been a quiet prodding at theory, as his father's notes are now arranged and Alucard has come to understand what that stone was. It's intent might as well have rendered it a philosopher's stone, the thing the alchemists of Near East and Europe want most of all. But what it is is an incomplete understanding of blood and of magic and of science and of vampirism. Something that could have only been refined with his father's age.
The stone was for immortality. Not to remove vampirism. It was doomed to fail.
But the thought behind it, there's still merit there. It's for that reason that in downtime, Alucard tinkers with the theories. It's why he sits in the kitchen now, face screwed up in concentration, blank notebook page in front of him.]
Trevor?
[He has no idea if Trevor's even around at the moment.]
