you're right, i did see that

a plus for this place at least. when would you like to talk

it's unsettling but very predictable

you missed the world war ii flashbacks at least

[saintguillotine]

Tomorrow afternoon. On the roof.

Considering when I arrived from, I wouldn't say I did. But I do count myself fortunate to have arrived post the fort.

[goneforawalk]

alright

well that was more world war iii if you think about it

it was just very short

[saintguillotine]

Not enough 'world' for it to qualify.

I never asked. How did the Major die? Painfully and pathetically, one hopes.

[goneforawalk]

semantics

integra killed him, i didn't see it but it was frustrating, according to her

apparently he was a cyborg

[saintguillotine]

he was a what

[And then a moment later:]

He was a cyborg? Care to elaborate?

[goneforawalk]

look i wasn't there i was busy being alive and dead at the same time

but that's how he survived so long without aging, he wasn't a vampire experiment, he was a cyborg

i guess he bled oil even

[saintguillotine]

I'd ask why he opted to become a machine over genetic alteration, but I doubt anyone can comprehend that little maniacs thought processes.

[He could make an educated guess, but the less he thinks on the Major, the better, since he has the knowledge the Vatican helped him achieve all that he did in the back of his mind.]

How does you being alive and dead at the same time work, exactly?

[goneforawalk]

i just wonder exactly when it happened, since he looked exactly like he did during the war

it's odd to explain

that weird kid, the one with cat ears? was schrodinger's cat, essentially

i ate him, so i became schrodinger's vampire

if i die, i only stay dead until the second i'm unobserved, then i come back

[saintguillotine]

[It's a long, long while before Anderson responds.]

While I would like to discuss your peculiar new existence further, I've just been informed of what exactly paying my fine entails.

[goneforawalk]

[ WHAT A LONG, SUSPICIOUS GAP. ]

it's weird sex stuff isn't it

i knew it

[saintguillotine]

There's nothing on here about contesting it. I'll seek out those lawyers that showed up on the network regardless.

[This doesn't look very hopeful, though.]

[goneforawalk]

see what they say, if they can help

if not we'll... figure something out

[saintguillotine]

If not, I'll live on the beach. The natives don't seem to like going down there.

[goneforawalk]

i think the police will be willing to go to the beach to arrest you for not paying your fine

[saintguillotine]

If I kill enough of them, they may think better of it. Have you managed to get your hands on any silver yet?

[goneforawalk]

remember: they can take our regeneration away

i haven't been able to yet, hopefully soon

[saintguillotine]

I remain a gruelling opponent even without the regeneration.

There's 30 calendar days for you to gather a supply. Preferably sooner than thirty days, since I'll need some time to forge the bayonets.

[goneforawalk]

they have a lot of guns to shoot you with from afar, father

i'll do what i can, but i don't think this plan will work

[saintguillotine]

Well, what would you suggest?

[goneforawalk]

well

i'm the one responsible for your behavior

[ as gross as it is, as uncomfortable as it is, maybe they'll let alucard take his place for real. he doesn't. want to. but. ]

[saintguillotine]

[A pause.]

I highly doubt they'd let you take my place.

[Another, longer pause. That Alucard would willingly put himself through such humiliation for his sake makes him feel pretty low about the direction their conversation took earlier.]

I'm responsible for my own behaviour. I shouldn't have tried to put the blame on you.

[goneforawalk]

they want someone to do it, i doubt they'll much care who since we're contracted

in their eyes you were right, anyway: it's my responsibility to keep you in line and i failed at it

that said, there has to be some way out of it

[saintguillotine]

Given how fervent they are about contracts and obligations, I do still very much doubt it. And you haven't failed at anything. Despite where we are, I have autonomy; you're not at fault for allowing me that.

We'll see. I'm sure I'll manage something.

[goneforawalk]

it's still odd to me that a network post gets twenty hours

i wonder if perhaps someone could take up the whole twenty hours and have it still count
