[Video]

[When the feed clicks on, it does so mid-bounce as if the device had been tossed aside with little in the way of regard for what happened to it. Those watching it was spared most of the camera shaking if only because the room in which the broadcast originates is pitch black save for three points of illumination. The first two show the shadow-cloaked face of Vlad as his eyes appear to burn with a hellish flame. The third seems to be a small crimson stone, glowing in the darkness, pulsing softly almost as if mimicking a heart beat. When Vlad speaks, his voice is restrained, but the fury is more than evident.]

I have spent quite some time in this place, and during that time I have learned quite a bit of the nature of the realm. Those of us chosen to be ripped from our own worlds seem to have been plucked from them to serve as protectors of the realm, to keep the barriers around the cities in place so that what lies beyond at bay.

It is because of this that I was willing to accept the peace offering that was returning my wife to my side. However, she is no longer here. Sent back to the fate that awaited her in our world; to be tortured and burnt at the stake for the crime of showing compassion. What this realm seems to have forgotten is that I am not as forgiving as Lisa.

[He pauses, clenching his fist around the stone, dimming the lights further but allowing the shifting shadows that fill the room behind him to become a bit more visible.]

Perhaps it is time I remind Genessia why I am called Vlad the Impaler...

How about don't? It sucks that someone you care about got sent home, I get that. But don't take it out on people who had nothing to do with the situation. It's not going to change anything, and you'll just get a queue of people lining up for a fight.

You've got grief with the spirits? Talk to them about it. But I don't want to hear about innocent people getting impaled.

[This takes a bit as Flandre had to first work up her nerve and then go and find Vlad. Get her fear of having to fight someone she had grown to see as a father. She was hurting too at the loss of Lisa, tear tracks still on her face and hiding in her eyes but there was something more important to be done at the moment.

When she walks in, gone is her normal hiding behind the door and wings tucked tightly against her back. She stands tall and her wings held out in a manner of confidence. It's everything she can do to not just hide away at the moment but now was the time to be brave and try everything she could before any more fighting or violence breaks out. Slowly walking forward for the moment, trying to figure out how exactly to do this, she speaks.
]

What good would all of that do in the long run? It would only hurt those who are still here for you.

[Going to keep a bit of her hand hidden for now.}

[ Weiss is fairly certain every time something bad happens, people go and scream don't do it and they do it anyway. It's useless, and futile, and Dracula is in pain. It's a pain she knows pretty well, considering how many people she's lost here- including friends who died before their time. ]

spacepeterpan: The Doctor's skeptical/curious expression (now that's interesting)

[Video]

[personal profile] spacepeterpan 2018-04-02 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Doctor had made one or two attempts to meet with Dracula before; perhaps he should have tried harder, in hindsight, to forge some kind of connection. His first reaction, though, is his regret at the news.]

...I'm sorry. I'd spoken to her, she'd mentioned-.. well, what I suppose she'd heard from you.

[He pauses a moment, peering into the video attentively.

He's confident Dracula isn't an idiot. Even without knowing him, having only known Lisa briefly, that seems like a safe assumption. So if the threat bears any seriousness at all (and he gathers it very well may), he knows perfectly well that there are innocents who stand to suffer--arguably nothing but innocents. And really, he knows all too well that anger can outshine compassion, even in someone known for the latter, which may not be the case, here, so much. So he takes a different approach entirely.
]

Just so happens I know a thing or two about loss, myself. ...more than a little older than I look at a glance, been around a bit, and the way I see it, when you've lost someone you cared for, there's just one question: what would they want to be remembered by? Sometimes all we can do for them's to build a monument they'd be proud of.

[He pauses a second, briefly troubled by the intrusion of another, obviously distressing train of thought.]

...not sure I'll always live up to that. But it's something to aim for. For their sakes.

[Another pause, this one deliberate, rhetorical.]

So. You want to build a monument, good, but, well, she's your wife, you tell me, what's the sort of monument she'd be proud of?

113th: (♕ I see the serpent before me)

video

[personal profile] 113th 2018-04-03 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Alone in the gloomy whispers of the evening, Regis lingers outdoors for once within a small sanctuary within the park. During his evening walk, he found a comely white gazebo that had been built ages ago. He lingers there for a time tired from his outing as he scrolls through his phone. It's then that he happens upon this video of this madman. Regis listens for a time in absolute silence as a declaration of bloodshed is made.

As much as Regis hopes not to entangle himself in such affairs, the former King of Lucis refuses to stay silent. Tyranny and injustice must be met with force but Regis hopes to appeal to this alleged lord with words alone. Therefore, he speaks. Let there be dialogue between two ailing souls, one entrenched in darkness and the other blessed by light.
]

Grief often breeds wrath but you mustn't allow it to corrupt.

[His tone is gentle but stern. Regis means not to offend a grieving man.]

Your wife, Lisa, tell me about her. Would she wish for you to shed blood over her loss? No spouse would want to see their beloved suffer.

This is a fact known to me,

[ Konoka knew that name. Lisa visited her store, and Konoka even sent her a gift. But she's gone now. At the very least, unlike before, she understands Dracula's pain.

That doesn't mean she'll step down lightly though.

Listen to me. This pain sucks. I know it does. But don't go acting out on it, okay? Please.

A crime of compassion... What could your wife possibly have been accused of?

[Mayhaps it wasn't his business, but he'd like to understand the reason for the man's rage. It sounds as though that this woman was falsely accused, going by Dracula's words. Given his own world's history, Kazuya can't even begin to recall a single time that the punishment of burning at the stake was even remotely justifiable.]
