Greetings.

My name is Alucard. I am a new arrival. No, I did not fill up the "form" as I found the criteria to be quite baffling and useless.

I do need to state that I am a half-vampire. Yes, I have fangs. No, I will not bite you. I do not require blood and you can go about your day in peace.

And no, I will not bite you if you have a kink for vampires. Find a sharp fork instead.

. . . Yes. I suppose it would be.

[ even if he can't. even if he must remember. ]

I am familiar with electricity and doors that can be opened in command. I was raised in a household of science. Though I never pictured humanity would come so far.

[cruelyethuman]

There is no traveling in space, in this house of science that you hail from?

[ananym]

No. I had a castle that could transport itself around the world but nothing beyond the stars.

[cruelyethuman]

Did it grow legs and walk? I've heard that joke before, you know.

[ananym]

Joke?

[cruelyethuman]

My mother used to claim that this is what could happen to a home. It would grow legs and leave you.

[ananym]

That is an interesting one. There might be some truth to it. I seem to recall a house with chicken legs further east of Wallachia.

[cruelyethuman]

That information only leaves me with more questions, than answers.

Why chicken, and how did you know. Did someone try to taste it.

[ananym]

My father was well-traveled and he kept a top-notch library.

The chicken legs was the descriptor. I do not think anyone was brave enough to attempt tasting them. It belonged to a fearsome witch named Baba Yaga.

[cruelyethuman]

They called my mother that, once upon a time.

[The black witch. Baba Yaga. The demon in the woods, although they were quicker to pin that name on him instead.]

Do you like to read?

[ananym]

[ that . . . is interesting. but stories can filter through other worlds. and with the infinite corridor's existence . . . alucard can believe it. ]

I do. I read a great deal when I was young.
