[ he really hates doing this . . . but alucard knows he needs to commit to it. the feed turns on with him looking . . . not quite sheepish, but a tinge of irritation layered with contriteness. ]

Last month, I had the unfortunate issue of losing control of my vampiric nature and lashed out onto a number of people here. I hope you would be willing to accept my apology and if not, direct me in ways where I can make amends. I . . . do not usually need or require blood as sustenance so it took me by surprise.

My apologies. If it helps, it seems I've lost my sense of taste. Perhaps that is penance in a way.

[ internal sigh. ]

My mother was human. I aged up to a point, then it slowed down.

[The fuck kind of vampire is this guy? Next he'll tell her he has a soul, and he doesn't get all ugly when he has to bite someone?]

Uh. Okay. That's... well, I guess that might as well just happen.

I'm Faith. [A beat.] The vampire slayer.

[ananym]

[ alucard nods. ]

Do you come from a family of slayers?

[slayerskiss]

You could say that. It's more of a... chosen one title, I guess. There's a line of 'em, technically. Not blood related, but one of us gets called whenever the current Slayer dies. I'm sort of a unique example 'cuz I'm not the only Slayer in my world.

Can't say I've ever heard of a vampire being born though.

What's your name?

[ananym]

[ that is interesting. a chosen title rather than a bloodline? ]

I am known as Alucard.

[slayerskiss]

Pleasure.

[Alucard being Dracula backwards will hit her eventually, she's very dumb.]

Quick clarification, you have a soul I'm guessing?

[ananym]

[ that's new. ]

I should think so.

[slayerskiss]

Juuuust making sure you're not like the vampires from home. Some of 'em are cool, most of 'em suck absolute ass. Hence, y'know, my job.

Er, no offence.

Those ones don't have souls, so. Thought I'd ask.

[ananym]

[ hmm. ]

Vampires can go to Hell. You can't do that unless you possess a soul.

[slayerskiss]

Vampire buddy of mine went to hell. He got kicked in, though, like... physically.

[ananym]

That is one way of handling it.
