✞ first bite; the dhampir awakes ( action )
genessia city
[ Waking within a coffin isn't anything new to him. One might even say that to eventually one day wake to an entirely different world would not be so far a stretch for him to experience. However, to be taken so abruptly from his comrades and mission to put an end to his father's madness, that is new and potentially frustrating, let alone confusing. Add to that the fact that the coffin itself had been surrounded by water (a nightmare in itself) and, well, it had been a rather trying moment for him to get himself out of that situation, but he had, with minor injury involved. Thankfully.
The dynamics of this world are different and foreign to him, the device he has been given almost magical with the way it functions. However, as always with keeping himself calm and composed no matter the situation, it's only after he has come to learn that it is only him and that neither Trevor nor Sypha have accompanied him here, that he makes his way throughout the city.
It is both during day and twilight that he will be found around the city, wishing to learn as much as he can about his new surroundings and what this might mean for him given his mission has now been placed on hold. Pan's Grocery is one place he ends up and it's clear with the look on his face that he hasn't any idea what much of this stuff that lines the shelves are. The Library is another place he finds himself, having an affinity for the older books that are shelved and always one for obtaining more knowledge. He's already grabbed a few books that have caught his interest, having them neatly stacked beside him to the point where they reach just a touch higher than his own height. Careful not to knock them over? The Garden Park is where he can also be found (though not near the pond), keeping to himself mostly on a bench under a colouring tree, trying to figure out how to properly work this device he's been given. So long as you have no qualms about the sword which he keeps by his side or how unnaturally pale he looks, he will not shun anyone who comes near. He might even appreciate some help with this device. ]

[ It's no surprise that he would end up within this city, is it? Come dusk or midnight itself, he will be found wandering the foggy streets of the city, not at all looking perturbed by its so-called reputation it seems to have. Although, should one seek to challenge him for whatever reason that may be, it will be with a hand on the hilt of his blade at his side that he offers an "I wouldn't" as means of a warning. Otherwise, The Rabbit's Foot is one place which has piqued his interest given the so-called essentials for one living within this city it claims to have; it's a place which he will be found looking around, if even for idle curiosity. As with the library in Genessia City, Periodicals and Paperbacks is a place he can be found within, the tips of fingers gently caressing over the spine of each and every book that catches his eye, perhaps even intending to purchase a few that he holds within an arm. He will be around the Cloak and Dagger but doesn't enter the shop for whatever reason. Otherwise, it's Mystic's Alley where you might find him making his way through. ]

[Everglade - Action]
[Even though she was a prisoner in this city for two weeks, it's not the city itself that bothers her. She just doesn't care for dirty dug-up basements and crawlspaces for a while.]
[There are five fresh graves in the cemetery that she came to visit. Each one has been given a small pot of purple hyacinths next to the grave marker that bears no name. It was a flower that was supposed to mean 'forgiveness' so...that seemed appropriate. She still isn't sure if they were just crazy or if someone was manipulating them to be that way. It doesn't matter now. They're not coming back.]
[Realizing that the sun is starting to set, she rises to her feet and makes her way past the wrought iron gates to the cobbled streets. No sense hanging around and tempting hungry night monsters, she has no intention of making the lives of the deputies any harder than necessary.]
[As she reaches the plaza, she notes two men with locked gazes, neither smiling. One has a hand on his sword, the other has a growl bubbling up in his throat. She freezes in place, not sure what she's stumbled onto, but she sure doesn't want the matter to escalate.]
Excuse me! Is this the way to the public restrooms?
[She puts on a cheery smile, rubbing the back of her neck. Nothing breaks the tension like a reminder that toilets exist!]

However, if there was ever an ice breaker to cause pause in the moment, this would surely be it. Although, perhaps the situation that had begun as a mere warning would develop into something else entirely with an outsider, of sorts, now having been added into the mix; he doesn't wish to see anyone harmed. ]
I'm afraid you may have taken a wrong turn.
[ Even as he says this, his gaze remains fixed on the one across from him, hand still touching the hilt of his sword. He doesn't wish to start nor end anything here within this city, but if the other man does not wish to back down and take his gentle warning as a means to depart, then... one needs to be ready. ]

[All the while Orihime waits patiently as she watches the person go, loosely holding her wrist behind her back.]
I guess it doesn't matter what species you are. Everyone in this town is jumpy at night.
[She turns to Alucard and inclines her head. She can feel an unusual spiritual energy from him, and honestly she's not really sure if he's human or not. But she does see his necklace, so that means...]
Are you new to this world? I don't think I've seen you before. I'm Orihime Inoue, nice to meet you.
no subject
Yes, I am.
[ New to this world, wherever it may be. ]
I am who they call Alucard back within my world.
[ And it's at that, he gives a bit of a bow to her. ]
