Quest 015

[Attempted Private//Woefully Hackable]

I'm going to have to be very careful of her. I should've known she'd turn out to be a witch; it's like Lolotte all over again--the way she talks, the orders she gives. And that was always the fear, wasn't it? That if anyone can come here, alive or dead...that she could find me? She swore to have her revenge, but there was little to fear from it back home. A dead witch remains dead...but that's not so, not here.

At least I was careful. With any luck, she'll think me nothing more than a silly peasant girl, just like Lolotte did. And if she thinks I'm useful to her, then maybe...no. I'm not about to start making any elaborate plans, not in a place where no one stays dead for long. Especially when the people who know her far better than I are cautioning others against her. I'll have to be very careful, then, won't I...

I don't like this one bit. But it settles one thing; if there was ever a time or a need to learn about magic, it would be now.

Another curse, is it? At least this one isn't so disruptive as the last. After all, there are far worse things than waking up to find a letter emblazoned on the back of your hand.

H
Still, I don't know what it could stand for. If it's supposed to represent a sin, why isn't it an M? Happy? Helpful...?

And speaking of things that start with H--if a Mr. Harry Dresden should chance upon this, I would like to have a word with you, please, sir.


[OOC: Here's the fun thing about morality in King's Quest--killing is bad and nonviolent solutions are best...unless the person you're killing is evil. In which case, it's all good, 'cause they clearly have it coming anyway. Hypocrisy much? This curse thinks so.]

Ah, yes, companionship. Even that can prove treacherous--the City has a penchant for pitting us against one another. In every way.

[ooc: XD Ahah, okay. He's used to that.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But I trust my friends, just the same.

[OOC: Her dad killed Dracula. Trufax. XD]

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

I'm certain they appreciate forgiveness as well. Some are more susceptible to guilt than others.

[ooc: XD Aaah, he'll have to explain the whole, "There's about four of us here, and counting." thing.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

A friend that cannot forgive isn't much of a friend, is she? Mm... I'm sure everyone knows what it's like to act horribly during a curse, and then feel terrible about it afterwards. I know I do.

[OOC: And then she will re-spaz all over again, since OMGWTF they're multiplying.]

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

And there are those that hold the highest of grudges. Of course. Not everyone holds friendship higher than vendetta.

[ooc: XD He'll be like, "Well, TECHNICALLY..."]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, you're right, since not everyone in the world is a good person. But holding a grudge accomplishes nothing, and only causes grief to everyone concerned. It's silly...

[OOC: No way, man, they're totally all out to get her. Srsly. That's the only possible explanation. Dracula is back from beyond the grave to get revenge on the child of the guy who killed him, and now to make matters worse he's got, like, freaky clone symbiotes or something. (At least, that's what she'd think if she had any idea what "clone symbiotes" were.)]

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

It is nature. It is that--passionate feeling again. Hate love. Love hate. So on, so on, so on...

[ooc: Tch! Vladis will simply roll his eyes, and be amused at how the Hellsings might take this. Because his main priority is a fallen angel with a memory problem.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I hope the good outnumber the bad, at least.

[OOC: Oh, Vladis. Good on you, man. Way to have your priorities straight. ♥]

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

In this place, my dear? I highly doubt it.

[ooc: Hey, what can he say, Gabe tops his list of things to do take care of. ♥]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That's a pity. Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since there's more misery to be had by filling the city with cruelty than with love.

Oh, please forgive my manners, I've neglected to introduce myself. My name is Rosella.

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

People are quicker to expel hate than anything else. it is their nature.

Not at all, Rosella. Alluring as the flower.

Count Vladislaus Dracula.

1/4?

You're supposed to be dust!

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

...I do beg your pardon?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

My father killed you. What do you want with me? Whatever it is, so be it--I'm not afraid of you!

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

I see.

The man who murdered me is no mortal, child, so I'm afraid you have the wrong Count.

Please, take your time to look for him--there are four of us here.

1/2

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Four?! But--

But if--how?

No, he's--but--even if he is lying, he can't find me, and I'll have a cross before he does...

Sam said he knew vampires that weren't all bad

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Then you mean to tell me you're not Count Dracula, the vampire who dwelt in a castle in the middle of a poisoned lake in the land of Kolyma, with a black-cloaked ferryman and deadly brambles guarding the path to the gates?

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

I am Count Dracula, the vampire who dwelt in a remote frozen fortress, and occasionally made travel back to the land I was raised, with three brides, mutated deadly brambles, and a hunchback guarding both fortress, castle--and occasionally my summer palace.

I never had anything as theatrical as a poisoned lake, though I would never put it past Vlad.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...And you never kept a golden key that unlocked a magic door...?

[rekindled-heart.livejournal.com]

My dear Rosella, I have no interest in sport over magic keys. I have far more important things to see to.
