dear_mun | [Voice Test] Canon: Hotel Transylvania

If your mun's lacking in ideas, I know a list of games they could browse through. Or, you know, they could just put you in that hideously tacky Wal-Mart game. That seems to be picking up steam lately.

You do?

Hey, if you've got some places to suggest, I'd be glad to hear it. Anything's better than being cooped up in this head-space forever.

...What's a "Wal-Mart?"

app_this_plz has a pretty much ever-growing stream of games listed. Browse away.

Personally my mun is a fan of

thewake, but I can't go since I'm an AU.

Wal-Mart's a store. Someone based a game called

worldmart off of it.

Muns can take forever deciding where we'll go. Mine's been trying to figure out where my home will be for a month.

[Smiling~ since she never really gets to talk to too many young monsters.]

Month? [Blink.] ....Well,

way to me make feel bad about complaining. I've only been around for a day.

Make you...

[ His eyes widen a little and he waves his hands in a sort of pacifying motion. ]

I didn't mean too, honest! I was just saying, you know, muns can be slow and stuff.

H-hey, it's alright! I was just, um... being a little facetious...

[Good job being awkward, Mavis.]

Oh good! I thought you were gonna smack me for a second.

[ The only girl he's hung out around in recent memory enjoys expressing her displeasure in a very physical way. ]

It seems to be a common thread among us that our humans took us against our will. Especially when those same humans lack any kind of plans for us.

Uh... yeah, I guess. -But they probably don't mean any harm by it....

[...There's something familiar about this guy, somehow.]

Have we met somewhere before? -Ever vacationed in Hotel Transylvania, maybe?

It is my experience that humans are a truly loathsome lot and do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

[A beat.]

I do not vacation. I am Count Vlad Tepes Farenheit Dracula. My castle holds all I would ever desire.

[Oh boy; here we go with the human-hate.] ....Wow, you sound just like my da--

[Wait what??]

Huh...? [Blink. Stare.] So you kinda are like my dad, only not..?

From what I understand, I am from a dimension parallel to your own. In a sense, you are my daughter, despite the fact that my only child is a son.

Wow! In a weird way, I guess that makes sense!

[So this guy is is an alternate of her dad... just, like... an even less-fun version; and she didn't even think that was possible. But! He's kinda still dad. And this is still the most interesting thing she's experienced since her account's creation... a few hours ago.]

My name's Mavis! [Excited] What's your son like?

Adrian is... more like his mother than is healthy. Let us leave it at that.

[Yeah, he doesn't really like talking about Alucard. Not that he's disappointed or ashamed of him. Just... he doesn't really know how.]

"Adrian"... [She repeats the name, then pauses at the mention of his mother.]

And his mother-- your wife's name.... still "Martha"?

He prefers to be called Alucard, however.

[His face darkens a bit farther - if possible.]

Lisa, actually. She was the only human on the planet that did not deserve her fate.

[INSERT RECORD-SCRATCH SOUND EFFECT HERE]

WoahwoahwoahWOAH- Wait up....

[Mavis' face, on the other hand, brightens.] You married and had a child with a human?

...Maybe you're more open-minded than my dad after all!

[Vlad has been called many things over the centuries. Open minded has never been one. So forgive him as he stares blankly for a moment before slipping back into his perma-scowl.]

She was the only human that treated me with any kind of respect, despite my keeping the lands in my domain safe from invaders. She was the only human to see past what others called a monster. And her kindness was repaid by her peers labeling her a witch, and burning her at the stake. At noon, in full view of my castle.

It was then that I realized what a blight humanity was on the planet, and began my... 'reign' in earnest. They feared the creatures of the night that had kept them safe for centuries, so I showed them that those creatures were trifles compared to what lived within my castle's walls. They wanted fear, I gave it to them.

[Mavis listens in silence; her expression falling. After a brief moment;] Parallel....

...That's... almost the same way my mother passed. She may not have been a human, but... That's why she was killed by them. Not too long after my birth, the villagers came to my dad's place with their torches... and....

[A pause. She shakes her head, as if to clear it.] -But, that was a long time ago! The times change. People change...

...And so can monsters.

I have watched humanity for centuries. They repeat the same mistakes, cling to the same hatreds, and wallow in their own cowardice and fear. If anything, they have only sunk to lower depths of depravity. Humans seek me out in exchange for power, sacrificing their own to give me life once more, and yet are shocked when I view them as traitors to their own kind.

Even the 'heroes' that assault my walls every century do so not out of their own altruistic desires, but in cowardice of what would happen should my power be unchecked. They are wholly despicable and deplorable creatures, and I am doing the world a favor by slaughtering them.

[Yeah, sorry Mavis, if she lived in his castle, and she was trying to hide a human, he'd impale first, ask questions later upon discovery.]

Slaughtering? What is this- the stone age??

You can't just go around killing humans- You're setting monsters back like hundreds of years!

Even if you can't get along with them, you don't have to kill them.

[He's going to float up off the ground for a moment so that his cloak is just barely touching the ground.]

They only monsters in this world are those that would burn an innocent woman at the stake for simply showing kindness to another!

[If he had a wine glass, he'd be throwing it.]

[And she's just going to pout harder at you.]

WOAH- Now you're gonna start using "monster" as a derogatory word?? Why do you have to go and start associating monsters with all things bad, huh?? Do I sense a little self-hatred, maybe? It's because of stuff like this that we can't progress as a society! ~~[SOCIAL-JUSTICE MAVIS IS GO.]~~

NOT. COOL.

[She places her hands on her hips.] So much for you being the adult here.

[Just have a look of "Are you really serious?"]

There is no 'society'. The denizens of my castle have no free will of their own. They look to me for guidance and order. Without me, they would roam the countryside mindlessly with only the instinct to shed blood directing them. There are only a few that follow me of their own will, Death chief among them.

I command the legions of beasts because they cannot command themselves.

But th-- ...Whuh?

[No free will? Mindlessly shedding blood? That doesn't sound anything like the castle SHE grew up in.]

....So... I take it you didn't build a Hotel for monsters, huh?

...They do not tire, and have no need of rest. They would gain nothing from a hotel.

Even if you are placed in one of these games, you'll still be trapped.

Well at least I'll be trapped somewhere more interesting than this weird... mental purgatory.

I can tell you now that you'll regret that.

Then let me regret it. At least I'll be experiencing something...

Even if they strip you of all your powers or whatnot?

My powers?

[She's never considered what it'd be like to live without the powers she's taken for granted every day. But...]

...Still worth it.

I didn't think it would be so bad either.

Oh...

What kind of powers do you normally have?

Flight, danmaku, my wings, and well, the last one's a secret.~

Join the "people stuck in bloody mun's heads" club. We can even get little pins.

[A chuckle.] How long have you been cooped up for?

No bloody clue, think it's been five months.

Five?? ...Geez; how do you keep your sanity?

Drinking mostly.

But lemme tell you, mate, it's almost unbearable without my shelia here.

Who's Shelia? Your girlfriend?

What? No, she ain't named shelia. She's called Tank, the best damn thing that ever happened in my life.

Same here, but there are plenty of places for you to go around this place. Like memes and such. Even if y'aren't in a game.

[Holy Rabies, that's a lot of hair! Nothing compared to Sasquatch, but still.]

[Interested.] "Memes", huh? I never thought of trying those.

Are there any fun places to search for memes around?

There's this place called

bakerstreet, it's where I am most of th'time. Y'can find lots of things t'do there.

Also, sometimes th'muns get t'gether and plan their own things privately. [Eugh.] But that's less often.

Hey, that looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks a lot!
