First Bite | [Video/Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[Action]

After the initial awakening, minor freaking out followed by a moment to realize that the water was still, shallow or not, the little vampire then flew to dry land. There she got the whole welcoming spiel from a hologram from what she assumes must be in charge here (and apparently stuck here) which frankly does very little to improve her mood.

Kidnapped indeed! Someone is going to pay for this, if she can figure out who's responsible. Probably Lunarians. In the meantime she'll just wander around the city, poking at the device she was given.

[Video]

A young girl appears on screen, muttering in slightly archiec French, French accented English and near perfect Japanese... before she notices the damned device was working? Well then.

"First... let me introduce myself. I am Lady Remilia Scarlet. Now with that out of the way... Who exactly is responsible for spiriting me away here? They've made a grave error in daring to kidnap me!"

[It wasn't long before a occasional visitor to the Scarlet Devil Mansion appears on the screen, with two of her dolls helping each other prepare tea for the rainbow puppeteer and her housemates.]

"To the best of the knowledge of every kidnapped person here, there is no apparent whom."

[scarlet_devil]

[ Remilia is clearly surprised, did she get dragged here with her or something? ]

Is that so? I see you've been brought here too.

[superficially_busy]

"I have, many moons ago. I could tell you every resident of Gensokyo that is here, but I bet you don't care."

[She begins to smirk a little as her helper dolls finish up their tasks to watch what's going on.]

"Instead, here's one: Sakuya."

[scarlet_devil]

That's impossible, I saw you a day ago visiting Patchy...

What? Where is she now?

[superficially_busy]

"Time works strangely here. I last saw the younger Komeiji sister during the incident she caused, and yet she was here far longer than I was."

[what_is_a_man]

And so the Scarlet matriarch returns. Your room is still available in Castlevania, just as you left it, Lady Scarlet.

[scarlet_devil]

...I'm quite certain we've never met before. It seems you have me at a disadvantage.

[what_is_a_man]

[He chuckles softly.]

This place seems to have struck again. My name is Vlad Tepes, or more colloquially, Dracula. I have my castle in a subgate attached to the city of Everglade that acts as a sort of haven for beings like us. Your sister, maid, Lady Patchouli, and up until recently, yourself, have all been made guests of mine until such a time as you wish for other arrangements to be made.

[scarlet_devil]

The Dracula? [ Just some minor fangirling here, don't mind her. She remembers herself and recomposes herself with an embarrassed look. ] I mean... A pleasure to re-make your acquaintance, Lord Tepes.

I trust Flandre and Sakuya are doing well?

Action

[sakuya_izayoi]

Sakuya scolding one of the werewolves when her phone beeped at her. She almost ignored it completely, just glancing down at who it was-

And she was gone, running across time's border.

"My Lady!" She had stepped back into time not a moment before, the distorted ripples of the warped space-time betraying her excitement. She was panting somewhat inelegantly, but it was hard to ignore the excitement and relief threatening to show on the maid's face. "My Lady, thank goodness..."

Yes she had introduced herself again. Yes it seemed that she didn't have her memory from last she was here. But that was fine.

[scarlet_devil]

She had, by now, been told Sakuya was here, and if she didn't come find her, the vampire would have certainly gone looking for her.

She wasn't quite expecting her to suddenly appear like that in such a rush, though. "Sakuya...! Calm yourself."

[sakuya_izayoi]

Sakuya hesitated for a moment, her cheeks slightly pink as she straightened up, smoothing her apron and straightening her shoulders. She clearly hadn't taken the time to make herself proper in her rush and- was that dog fur on her sleeve? Wolf? Werewolf? She must have really dropped everything...

"Forgive me. I am simply excited." She hesitated, her mood deflating slightly. "I..." A pause. "I'll explain in a short while. For now, I'm simply glad to have you back."

[scarlet_devil]

She's a bit confused, and annoyed that she's apparently lost her memory of this place, but she extends a hand to her maid. It should be a familiar gesture. "Then by all means... do so."

[Video...? Action later on?]

[prismaticdestruction]

[This reply...isn't very obvious. It's just showing a dark ceiling with a very faint rainbow glow. The only sound is the occasional chime.

Someone wants to answer but...Just is withdrawing instead.}

[scarlet_devil]

[ Well... Rainbow glow plus chiming reminds her of one person. And she knows Flandre can withdraw when particularly upset. ]

...Flandre?

[prismaticdestruction]

[There is the sound of shifting and the glow fades more. It takes a moment but a hand reaches out, seen on the video to cut the connection.

..Someone doesn't want to latch on to hope right now.]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Well, damn it. She's just going to have to track her down. ]

[notquitedracula]

Scarlet, you say? Interesting... Are you by chance related to a young lady named Flandre?

[scarlet_devil]

I do... She happens to be my little sister. Is she safe? Content even? [ There's a look in her eye that promises death to anyone that harms Flandre. ]

[notquitedracula]

The last time I saw her, yes. Well... safe, at least. She seemed to me as if she would like to get out more.

[scarlet_devil]

Ah, I'm glad. She's a child in mind as she is in body... and can't be left alone too long.

Fancy running into you, here!

[fairiesinourhearts]

Remilia wasn't the only one grumbling. Not that Zera strictly minded being here - it was a little lonely, when she didn't have Mavis besides her, but otherwise it fine. IT was just nice being awake. Alive.

She was just feeling grumpy, was all. Grumpy, and suddenly confronted by a wandering muttering girl. SO of course she instinctively squeaked, and looked for a place to hide!

[scarlet_devil]

"Hmm?" Remilia blinks, interrupted in her thoughts. "And what's wrong with you? Never met a vampire before?"

[fairiesinourhearts]

"What's a vampire?" She asks, peeking out of an alleyway.

[scarlet_devil]

"An undead being that drinks the blood of humans, of course." Remilia's stare is a bit predatory.
