( video | un: alucard )

[ 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.

Mn, yeah. Don't worry about me, I'm good. [it's other people he's worried about.]

That's quite a rebound.

It is? [news to him.] M-maybe it's just my blood. I'm a pretty normal guy besides that...

Oh?

What would you consider to be normal?

[UH...]

Uh, well...just. A human with...no fancy powers, you know? Er--if...if humans are much of a thing where you're from.

We do have humans.

However, I wasn't aware not having powers meant humans were less special.

[c'mon, man...]

I mean, like...as far as getting by here goes, you know?

You did survive my encounter. Not many would say the same.

Be-because of the blood-stuff! That's not normal. Normal for normal humans, you know! If it weren't for that, if this were back where I'm from, I'd...

[...]

...Well, our medical tech back home is really, really good, but that's got nothing to do with me.

[ alucard can't quite comprehend this. humans are varied, but he's seen their strength. their power. there are times when their helplessness overwhelms them but that's not what he remembered with manabu. ]

I do not think it was your blood that aided your survival.

Really? [he doesn't sound super convinced.] I mean, anything's possible, I guess... If you were driven to do awful things, who's to say something else was at play to make it easier to survive?
