009 - Reaper of My Evening Song - Video

[worldofourown]

Ah. I remember this.

[Karl is seated on the floor of his cell. Book in his lap, idly stirring through it with a fingertip. His face is replete with a Good-Times satisfaction.]

What a splendid evening that was. Full of blood and flame. Diva and I laughed ourselves sick over it afterward.

[A chilling laugh.]

You know, she told me a little secret. She said, for a boy who didn't want it, he was dreadfully eager for it...

[And, smile fixed, he returns to his book. Sick bastard.]


[OOC: Karl's cursed with Memory Theater. He's recalling he and his Queen, Diva, massacred everyone aboard a ship. After which Diva proceeded to rape and kill Saya's adoptive brother. Who, FYI, was 12 years old. Suffice it to say, it was quite the Moral Event Horizon :\]

Then you left a few of the crew alive? It's never a good idea to strand one's self in the middle of the ocean.

Dracula, instead of sleeping thru his voyage and or feeding on rats, just had to kill the ship's crew. Was only by luck the fool made it to shore.

[worldofourown]

The remaining crew evacuated, truthfully. Like so much scurrying vermin.

[Pause.]

Indeed, if my memory serves correct, the ship self-detonated and sank soon after.

[At which point, he and Diva flew home.]

[valentineluke]

As for how things turned out in my story: The captain was the last to die. Before expiring, he lashed himself to the wheel. Somehow, that kept the ship on course to England; during a storm, too.

Child brained fool's dumb luck, of course, eventually ran out. Captured and turned into a pet. He's been reduced to little more than a odd family heirloom that gets passed down thru the generations.

[Hnnnnnngh.]

Your point being...?

[valentineluke]

Nothing. Felt a bit like a cliffhanger, simply wanted to finish it.

Not all worlds' version of Dracula are like. Some turned out better than others.

[worldofourown]

oh, I'm quite familiar with the tale of 'Dracula', Mr. Valentine. Although in my world, he's dispatched after being stabbed through the heart and slashed at the throat.

[He approves of that ending, for obvious reasons. Lucky Dracula gets to die.]

[valentineluke]

Same book in mine. Real life however, vampire hunters are as stupid as he is. Didn't finish him off. Van Helsing family own 'heirloom pet'.

Fools, the whole lot of them - 'pet' included.

[worldofourown]

...Really?

Curious. Why wouldn't a beast as vicious as Dracula rise up and kill these Van Hellsings?

[valentineluke]

Keep in mind his 'child brain'.

Long story short: They're all probably dead. No way the Royal Family would overlook the indiscretion that occurred here between master (she, last of the line) and servant (him). I can see Protestant Royals making a secret deal with Catholic Iscariots (hunters on side) sometime after the loving vampiric couple's return home.

Stripped of rank and dispatched: I do so like this ending.

[worldofourown]

What a sad, funny little tale.

...

It has some personal meaning to you, I take it?

[valentineluke]

That's a story for another time.

[worldofourown]

Tsk.

You intrigue me now. I've been shown the plot, but not the actors.
