Day 199 - Exposition and Rockbell

Who: Alucard or Ghaleon, and anybody
Open: Open!
When: Day 199, mid-morning for one, noonish for the other.
Where: Near the kitchens, or around the Bastion
What: Alucard's awake and hungry, and Ghaleon doesn't feel like being in the hospital anymore.
Format: Preferably action.
Warnings: probably none for Alucard; sass, and mentions of death from Ghaleon



[Alucard is a man who likes to sleep. He actually likes to sleep even more than he likes to eat.

Just as he likes to sleep, Alucard is also one who can sleep heavily enough that he appears dead, and for long periods. As such, he sometimes finds himself in that predicament that some people experience where they wake up and are unsure of what day it is. In his case though, the problem is... a tad more extreme.

Hence the somewhat odd question he asks of whomever he encounters near the kitchens (What? He's hungry):]

What is the current year?

---------


[A full day confined to a bed, and Ghaleon finds he's had enough of sitting still. Between the work the boy doctor had done and his own spells, surely the damage had been healed enough to not risk reopening a wound as long as strenuous activity is avoided. Perhaps it's a bit of an unnecessary risk... but a place like this is no good for thinking deeply on the world. And so off he went.

Making his escape out the front door of the hospital, Ghaleon thinks once again that fate is an odd thing. Here he was, a man who was supposed to have been days and a thousand years in the grave, walking across the grass of the town at the end of the world. He'd been prepared to die (again) to allow the true heroes their best chance at saving the world he loved so dearly, and yet somehow he is again the last relic of a time and place now lost forever.

In any other situation, the sheer irony of it all would have been enough to make him laugh. As is, he's sure that he may cry when he has a place he can do so where no-one can see.

And now? Now he just wants to explore; perhaps find someone who can help him find something that would perhaps be more appropriate to wear around humans than a hospital gown. The mazoku doesn't particularly care himself, but humans do seem to have a bit of a thing about having a minimum amount of clothing they're comfortable with others wearing. Perhaps it's different with the apparent mixing of cultures here... but he sincerely doubts it.]

[Anya doesn't really care how much or how little people cover up, but whatever you're going to wear (or not wear), you can at least look good in it. Hospital gowns? Not exactly fashionable, though it does make her wonder what happened to his real clothes.]

The Calamity catch you with your pants down?

[Miss, you get points for not being afraid to ask, and for making him genuinely amused.]

That, my dear, depends entirely on if a bodysuit can be considered pants.
dontyoujustwish: (good listener)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-06-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Form-fitting or coveralls?

[Not that either of these is more pants-like than the other, but it's important for a mental image.]
four_quarts: (What're you doing Dyne.)

[personal profile] four_quarts 2014-06-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Having a good mental image is always important.]

Form-fitting. Coveralls are useful for certain tasks, but hardly a flattering fashion statement. Such a shame that mine was beyond salvage by the time I arrived.
dontyoujustwish: (I'm just sayin')

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-06-18 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a shame. Hopefully you can find something equally flattering that comes off easier, though the all-in-one-go aspect does have its appeal.

Considering the weather, I would say light robes would be best.

[He sounds kind of pleased about that actually. Pants? Who wants to wear pants on a warm day?]
dontyoujustwish: (yes?)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-06-20 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That does sound comfortable. [And easily removed.] I approve.

I'm Anya, by the way.

I am Ghaleon. Pleased to make the acquaintance of such a charming young woman.

[Well, perhaps he's incorrect about the "young" part, but there's no real way to tell if you don't know what species someone is, and who doesn't like being told they have a youthful appearance?]
dontyoujustwish: (hello)

[personal profile] dontyoujustwish 2014-06-27 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pshh, she's only 1125 years old, young is completely accurate.]

Thank you! I hope you're not carrying plague because it would be a shame if we all died before getting to know each other better.
four_quarts: (Smug? Me?)

[personal profile] four_quarts 2014-07-15 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that would be quite a shame. Fortunately, I'm fairly certain that I avoided the plague victims well enough to prevent that outcome.

[At least from him, anyhow.]

I've been avoiding them myself. It's one thing to nurse people who are mortally ill or wounded, it's another thing to do it if it's going to land you in bed next to them.

And not in the fun way.
