On drinking responsibly.

[vampirekiller]

Mundane,

I do not know what this fascination with my consuming alcohol is amongst you and your friends, but I can assure you it is not as problematic or amusing as you all find it.

I've a suggestion: why not find something for me to do? Idle hands are the Devil's workshop, after all.

[vampirekiller]

[As always, he's completely oblivious to whatever plight befalls the half-breed.]

What is it, Alucard?

[daddy_issues]

It's nothing. I think, perhaps, that ignorance is bliss.

[vampirekiller]

No need to state the obvious and avoid the question, friend. You can be honest with me.

[daddy_issues]

It isn't my place. I am not involved.

[ ask your goddamned mun. ]

[vampirekiller]

[Mun? Oh, you mean the one you're decking all over plurk?]

There's nothing wrong with a little curiosity.

[daddy_issues]

[ the very same. he likes it. ]

.. I believe it was a particular image that sparked his train of thought.

[vampirekiller]

Oh. I know of the image you speak.

[...]

It's just an image, Alucard.

[daddy_issues]

[ YEAH AND THAT THREAD WAS JUST A THREAD, RIGHT.

sigh. alucard pinches the bridge of his nose. ]

I'm aware of that, Richter. [ who's stating the obvious now? ] I never said that it bothers me.

[ but it does bother him of course. ]

[vampirekiller]

[Silence. You enjoyed it.]

Oh, so you like the picture and what it implies?

[daddy_issues]

[ WHATEVER. so did you. ]

What- [ askjnsakl ] -- no, of course not!

[vampirekiller]

[Alucard's just raised his voice above a murmur. Either Richter has just caught him off guard or he's excited about something.

His money's on the former.]

...are you certain?

[daddy_issues]

[ this is awful. alucard just makes an uncomfortable noise in his throat and stiffens up. ]

Yes, I'm certain.

[vampirekiller]

...I will not judge you.

[daddy_issues]

[ oh my god. ]

From the sound of it, it seems as if you wish for me to enjoy the implications, Belmont.

[vampirekiller]

You mean to say you do not?

[daddy_issues]

. . . . . .

[ seriously you're such a pain. ]

[vampirekiller]

[It's part of his charm.]

Well?

[daddy_issues]

[ you mean a part of what makes him obnoxious. ]

Well what? There is nothing to say.

[relictusdeus]

And busy hands...

[He pauses to slide a square of chocolate into his mouth, languorously licking at his fingers.]

...are the Devil's pleasure.

[A chuckle. Hey, man, you left yourself open.]

[vampirekiller]

[I hope you choke on that chocolate.]

...

[Richter just stares at him, nonplussed.]

So I take it the Devil's quite bored with you, no?

[relictusdeus]

Between you and I - - [A murmuring laugh.] - - I believe he is cross with me... for he can no longer sit comfortably in his beloved throne chair.

[vampirekiller]

Mm. The irony. Even the devil himself can be tortured by just your presence.

[relictusdeus]

How amusing. Perhaps I shall make Hell my own... it could use some elegant touches, after all. But... 'twill be some time, yet. [Of course.]

[vampirekiller]

The sooner you leave, the sooner you start.

[Smirk.]

[relictusdeus]

[A look of wide-eyed shock - feigned, of course - dissolves into delight, particularly at the smirk.]

Ah... my dear Belmont. In your most valiant and heroic of hearts, burning with self-righteous determination, I see darkness struggling for release. [Or so he supposes.] You cannot tell me you have not dreamt of killing me... of making it hurt... and swear it as God's honest truth. Oftentimes, I think you fit to join Lord Dracula's ranks. If only you were to cast aside this shallow pretense of hunting me down for the good of mankind...

[Smiling, he snaps off another small piece of chocolate and bites into it.]

Mnn. [He pauses a moment to savour the bittersweetness melting over his tongue.] And do not think I would depart without taking you with me. Whatever ever would you do in my absence~?

[vampirekiller]

[Mentioning the possibility of Richter joining the enemy's ranks is one surefire way to enrage him, as the Forgemaster quickly learns. Rather, might learn. Before he thinks of sending his fist through that smirking face or coiling his fingers, or his whip, around that throat and choking him till he coughs up chocolate, Richter stops. And just...shakes his head.]

I've no desire to go anywhere with you, dog.

[relictusdeus]

[Oh, he's pleased.]

You say it as if you have a choice in the matter.

[vampirekiller]

Because unlike you, my will is my own.

[relictusdeus]

Aha. [A sharp, breathy laugh.] And yet... I can toy with you and make you beg for death however I please. [How's that for exercising free will, Ricky?]

[vampirekiller]

Assuming I'd even let you.

[He snorts.]

[relictusdeus]

[A tilt of his head, his eyes glinting with cunning.]

'twould not be very... satisfying... without a struggling attempt on your part to delay the inevitable.

[smilebeforedeath]

I would think you'd be more concerned with all those memes they keep throwing you in. Although admittedly, I had a good time with that one. <3

[vampirekiller]

I do not mind those.

[A pause, because that's not entirely true.]

Too much.

[smilebeforedeath]

Oh. Then, are you the sort of man who likes always to be in control?

[vampirekiller]

... I would like to think that I am, yes.

[smilebeforedeath]

My mun says do not remember the one game then. Symphony of the Night she says, and that you will understand the meaning.

[vampirekiller]

...Hm.

[Oh, he remembers all right, and he knows the meaning full and well.]

[smilebeforedeath]

[Soujirou just smiles]

Is it so bad?

[vampirekiller]

My will is mine alone. I do not wish for it to be controlled by another.

[Quite bad; Richter prefers not to speak of it.]

Sadly I haven't gotten through all the series but I do know that one xD

[smilebeforedeath]

Ohh~ Well then, just be stronger and you'll be fine!

Everyone does, haha

[vampirekiller]

...I'll keep that in mind.

I also know Rondo of Blood.. even if it was in Japanese I watched it..

[smilebeforedeath]

[Smile smile]

It's on Virtual Console, if you have it. Or as Dracula X Chronicles on PSP
