First Moon - Video
[Another day, another new face appearing on the video feeds. Today it seems that the forces that be have seen fit to draw what seems to be a young girl into the world. Naturally, like most people that showed up, there was more to her then her youthful appearance might lead one to believe. There is no wild panicking, no flailing about or crying when she realizes the place she has awoken was not her home. Instead, she takes in the information provided to all new comers. It would not be safe to say she did it calmly, anyone who happened to be around could see the clear annoyance on her face, and that annoyance is still in place when she activates the device provided for her.]
I trust someone has a good explanation for this?
[Her voice is as youthful as her appearance, but carries an air of authority uncommon among children who are actually as young as she looks. The fact that her video shows a small portion of her wings makes it obvious she is no human child.]
Because the last I remember, I was sleeping in my chambers. These are not my chambers. They are very much not my chambers, and I cannot really say I approve of them. They are quite damp, and wholly unpleasant.
[To go from her own private mansion to waking up in a cave full of metal pods was more then a little bit of a shock. Still, it is only annoyance that her face displays, nothing more.]
I may decide to be merciful if the one responsible comes forward now. I am not entirely without a heart, but I am rapidly finding myself without patience.
[And she just woke up, too. Clearly, this young lady did not believe patience was a virtue.]

[Action] Did you really expect Sakuya to not appear in person?
---
Remilia would only see a glimpse of dull blue eyes and familiar silver hair before the feed was cut. Within the same moment the air around the small vampire became heavy, the world shifting as she found herself on the edge of the bay, shoes now dry, dress smoothed, ribbon fluffed, and a pair of very familiar arms wrapped tightly around her shoulders, and a well-known voice trying very hard not to burst into tears.
"My Lady...!"
[Action] The video is for the plebeians, clearly.
She doesn't have time to think about the wind though, before she realizes she isn't alone. But this is a feeling she knows. She may not know where exactly she was, but she knew who had come for her. It was enough to at least dampen her poor mood.
"Oh, Sakuya." She seems a bit less happy then the maid herself, perhaps because in her eyes, it had not been nearly as long since the two had seen one another. "If I can trust anyone to explain, it would you, Sakuya. Do so. Judging by your reaction, this is not something that is in any way your fault."
[Action] Of course, Mistress.
"I've found out nothing... Nothing about this place. I woke up as you did and have been unable to find any answers." She was already starting to dote on the small vampire, smoothing her shirt and dress, readjusting everything, straightening her hat. "I'm sorry I can't be more help..."
[Action] Now, let us conquer this world!
Naturally, she takes all the little things in stride, remaining perfectly still as Sakuya does her best to pretty her up.
"That is disappointing. Oh, not that I am disappointed in you. I've little doubt you put ample effort into discovering the nature of what happened. The disappointment stems from the fact that you were unable to make that discovery. If you were not able to do so, the answer must be hidden behind many layers of secrecy. Perhaps it simply isn't out there at all. Regardless, I shall be needing a place to rest."
She doesn't mention it of course, but what she really means is shelter from the sun. It seemed unlikely that this world would simply have a sun that didn't bother her.
[Action] Yes, My Lady! Under your guidance I cannot be stopped!
She brushed off the vampire's shoulders, nodding once when she was satisfied with her appearance, standing and smoothing her own apron. "I have looked into it but everyone seems to know very little about the situation. It seems to be a secret kept from everyone. It is my belief that there is someone with the knowledge we seek. I know not where, however."
A small pause, the maid's expression becoming one of worry. "I... Mm..." She tapped her chin with one finger. "I have been staying with Lord Tepes and I am unsure if he would welcome another vampire of your level into his castle as readily as he would welcome those weaker. Though I do not relish the thought of you staying in one of those... tiny... apartments..." She cringed, pausing for a long moment before pulling out her phone. "I will contact him to see if I can make an arrangement if that is acceptable to you, M'lady."
[Action] Apparents are not suitable for my greatness!
The rest of what Sakuya has to say is a lot more interesting. "So, no one knows exactly what has happened? There are cities of people that don't know? Then I suppose I shall simply have to be the first. But what is this you say about a 'Lord Tepes'? A vampire named Tepes, hm? What an interesting individual they must be. I wonder, if they really have the power to lay claim to that name? Go about your business, Sakuya. I am curious to see if this 'Tepes' cowers away or not."
[Action] And I would not have you stay in one.
She touched her pocket, pausing for a moment, flickering. It was rather embarrassing having to go back and retrieve the phone she had dropped, but she wanted to make the call in front of her lady. And besides, with the ability to control time it was not as if going back to retrieve an object was actually an inconvenience.
She entered Dracula's number, attempting to contact him, standing perfectly still as she watched the screen, hoping he would answer...
[Action] WHAT IS AN APPARENT!?
"You need not bother with the archaic devices this place issues, Sakuya."
He had been rather impressed with the way Remilia had held herself and spoke. It was nice to see someone that demanded proof before blindly following a name.
"As for you, I presume you are Remilia Scarlet? You are more than welcome to test me if you believe I am not worthy of claiming the name I hold."
[Action] A miserable little pile of...parents? No, that can't be right
Remilia, however, does not look impressed. Merely appearing out of nowhere like that was no great feat for a vampire. Even the lowest level ones could accomplish something like that. Still, there was no denying the mannerisms of one confident in their power. The fact that she had actually not noticed him until he appeared was more evidence then anything else that this was not a man to be underestimated.
"Your presumptions are correct. I only awoke here as so many do this evening. So, you are the one that lays claim to the name of 'Tepes'? That is a bold claim. Yet, the fact that my Sakuya even found you worthy of interest lends credence to it. She has always had a keen eye such things. Still...."
It seems the vampire intends to take that offer seriously. Without any warning, she thrusts an open palmed hand towards the vampire, and a single orb of crimson energy is launched from it, aiming directly for the other vampire's chest. Sakuya would be able to tell just how much she was holding back with such a soft attack, but there were a lot of reasons she wouldn't display her full power. Not the least of which was how much damage it would do. Also, she preferred not to tip her hand so early. Lastly, she was curious to see what sort of response she was given, both in how Dracula dealt with the attack, and how he responded afterwards.
A pair of ants maybe?
Like any well-trained thrall, the maid was intimately aware of her place within the dealings of vampires. She stepped back, taking her place behind Remilia off to her left, folding her hands over her apron. She was completely relaxed, a rarity for the maid.
Her eyebrows did raise subtly as Remilia struck out against Dracula. She recognized how much she was holding back, but she wasn't sure he would. She tensed a little bit, the pinky of her right hand reaching out toward the pocket containing her watch. She wouldn't jump to full defensive just yet... but it didn't hurt to be prepared.
You were both close but wrong. A MISERABLE PILE OF ANTS! BUT ENOUGH TALK! HAVE AT YOU!
"It is the mark of a smart vampire who demands proof. As for my name, I care not what you call me. I have acquired so many titles over the centuries that they have lost their meaning for me. However, before I allow a place within Castlevania for you, I have my own curiosity to sate..."
His face never showed any emotion aside from the sort of amusement one would see when playing with a new puppy in most. He raises one arm almost as in gesturing to something to his side, as the ground beneath Remilia begins to glow subtly. Half a second later, a pillar of flame would erupt beneath the vampire. Now it was Vlad's turn to see how she reacted.
NO HAVE AT U
"Not unimpressive. I could feel it, that would not have been something to ignore had it actually burned me. I assume you were holding back the majority of your power? Regardless, I do not feel as if I would be belittling myself to associate with you. Besides, my Sakuya has already done so, I trust her judgement as much as my own."
I'll just stay out of this 'pire fight...
Even when Remilia appeared away from the fire, unharmed and as charismatic as ever, the maid had a difficult time calming down... Though she seemed to manage. The reaction wasn't really a surprise. With the level of devotion Sakuya had shown seeing Remilia get attacked was something that couldn't be easy for her to see. Even when the smaller vampire was in no danger.
With a flick of her wrist the knives vanished, the maid straightening up, squaring her shoulders. She didn't let go of her dial, however. Despite her lady's words, if a fight did break out she wanted to be ready. She would rather be overly cautious than unprepared.
HAVE AT ALL Y'ALL!
"Oh, but of course I was holding back. If I had wanted you dead, my armies would have devoured you by now."
He snaps his fingers, calling the wyvern that protects the courtyard of Castlevania to his side from where it soared silently in the sky.
"You are welcome to use this Wyvern to enter Castlevania. After all, one of your stature and power should not be made to walk the dreadful streets these humans have constructed."
