57. Entry

[madame_harker]

I am unsure what is more annoying distressing the arrival of him or my run in with yet another version of him. I wonder if this place enjoys having alternate versions of Vlad. This one seems rather feral than the one I had to deal with back home...I do not want to deal with this any longer.


...I think something may be wrong with my computer. It seems to be flickering off and on...



[ooc; Strikes are so not there. And yes this is the start of flushing Drake out as being Dracula from his world. She'll likely be experiencing nightmares later but her computer is going screwy on her right now.]

Ah, Mina, you wound me.

[madame_harker]

That is highly unlikely.

[missedyourheart.livejournal.com]

But wouldn't you like to try? You and me and some privacy?

[madame_harker]

No, thank you. No, amount of wishful thinking on your part, shall convince me to agree to being alone with you again.


[ooc; Strike? I see no strike. XD]

[missedyourheart.livejournal.com]

There was a time, Mina, when the answer would have been "yes, please." Surely you cannot hold self-preservation against me. It is the highest order of instinct.

[madame_harker]

Well that time is quite over. Oh but I think you will find that I can. It is not a matter of self-preservation but a matter of trust. You no longer have my trust or my respect for that matter.

[missedyourheart.livejournal.com]

You don't have to trust me for a diversion, after all, what possible motivation would I have to betray you here?

[madame_harker]

There are always motivations for betrayal in this City, Dorian. I've been here long enough to know that quite well.

[missedyourheart.livejournal.com]

Pity. We two have such history.

[madame_harker]

I also have history with the Count, but I shall indulge him either.

Private to Mina // Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

Another Dracula?

How long as he been here, Mina?

Private to Alucard // Unhackable

[madame_harker]

Oh I'm rather certain that he is, considering his familiarity with my name.

I really do not know. I merely ran into him a couple of days ago.

Private to Mina // Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

I need to find him. To smell his blood, if not taste it.

Private to Alucard// Unhackable

[madame_harker]

He did not give me an address and I do not remember ever seeing him post on the network. Perhaps he is a recent newcomer?


...Why? Something about that mental image I find quite disturbing.

[ooc; Strikeout deleted.]

Private to Mina// Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But he is the only vampire in the City I am unacquainted with.

Doris. My son's female friend was recently attacked. Raped, then made a vampire against her will.

Private to Alucard// Unhackable

[madame_harker]

...That is quite a frightening thought. I honestly think the one I met is completely capable of such brutality. Just the way he looked at me made me uncomfortable.

Private to Mina// Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

I have had little time to investigate with the goings on in home. But I had not sensed another version of myself and that disturbs me. On the other hand, it could be coincidental. But I do not believe in such things.

Do you feel you can handle him if he makes advances towards you?

Private to Alucard// Unhackable [1/2]

[madame_harker]

There was something different about him that I am finding hard to place at the moment...

Physically yes...he does unnerve me though.

Private to Alucard// Unhackable

[madame_harker]

...Heartbeat...

When he came close to me...I could hear his heartbeat.

Private to Mina// Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

Heartbeat?

Then it was him. Doris is undead and yet her heart beats as well. I will kill him. He will die a thousand deaths and beg for a thousand more but no relief will come.

Through her blood I will track him. Make him beg.

Mina, it would be best if you kept to home and did not go out alone. Take my blood, I can keep better track of you.

Private to Alucard/ Unhackable

[madame_harker]

He unnerves me, but I really cannot show fear to him. Openly avoiding him would be almost like an invitation.

...No, I cannot do that. There are too many links in this place and I do not want to strengthen any of them. It will drive me mad for certain...

[ooc; Strikeout deleted.]

Private to Mina/ Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

I insist you stay away until I have found him.

Private to Alucard/ Unhackable

[madame_harker]

I am not going to alter my patterns in this instance. If he and I are meant to fight, then I shall not hide from it. Though I highly doubt he wishes to fight me. He seems as territorial as the Vlad from my world.

Private to Alucard/ Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

Hn. You are mine. Then let him stay away.

Private to Alucard/ Unhackable

[madame_harker]

Someone will have to flush him out. I am the most likely candidate to get him to reveal himself. Unlike your son's friend Doris, I have a chance against him.


[ooc; XD She just feels that strike is there. lol]

Private to / Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

That is true. Contact me if he rears his head.

Private // Unhackable

[madame_harker]

If he does, I shall contact you.

Re: Private // Unhackable

[hercount.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my dear.

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

F-Flickering?

[madame_harker]

Yes, perhaps a power surge? This is so very odd.

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

M-Maybe...I-I...I wonder what's going on...

[madame_harker]

Well there must be some logical explanation for this to be happening. Is your computer working?

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

I think it is...t-there's nothing wrong with it...no change...

[madame_harker]

Hmm. Perhaps it is time I purchased a new one then. This thing must be faulty.
