@all (from @r.asuka)

[ On the morning of the 15th, there is a network-wide ping issued approximately twenty-three minutes after the roster is released to the public. ]

Hello.

As I'm certain you all are aware, a roster has been sent to each of our devices. Given that this is yet another item on a growing list to be examined by us all, I believe it's important for each of us to come together to discuss any possible concerns or ideas that may require teamwork.

@PALPATINE and I earlier discussed the possibility of a non-compulsory meeting to sort through these issues. We agreed it would be in our best interests.

If you're inclined, please come to the Mess Hall at 19:00 in three day's time.

[ ooc: so! this will be broken down into sub-headings as discussed on the ooc plot post and utilized as a kind of "catch-all." if you think anything needs to be added at any time, please feel free to contact me through pm, at

rasasvada, or on disco at morning star#3715. or, you know, add it yourself! i don't mind.

noticeably, this is self-directed! if you character wants to speak or make a point to everyone, feel free to do so. no one is policing how this goes or making introductory comments or whatever else. open floor, y'all. ]

[By this point of the town meeting, Alucard has fallen asleep leaning against a wall with his arms crossed. He doesn't snore in so much as he breathes heavily, his long golden hair a river down his shoulders.

When there is a moment of silence, ironically, is when he opens his eyes and awakens.

Alucard looks up, sighs, rubs the bridge of his nose, and speaks.]

I've already made such an announcement, but for the time being until there is one more qualified, I will be your doctor. You may ask me any questions related to that, if you wish.

In addition, I am willing to teach basic aid, and I will be looking for assistants.

...?!

[Hajime can't help but double-take, glancing to the person who'd spoken up. He'd spoken to someone who sounded like this guy, but...]

Wait, you're Alucard?

[The -san has disappeared, because this guy definitely doesn't look much older than Hajime himself is at all.]

[The reaction Hajime has just confuses him, genuinely. Alucard hesitantly tucks some hair behind an ear.]

...Yes. What of it?

[Hajime holds up both hands, trying to show that he doesn't really mean to offend.]

I just... thought you'd be older, that's all. From the way you talked.

I'm Hinata Hajime on the network.

[He supposes that makes sense. It seems like most of the people who would be within his age group act more like they're still becoming an adult. In some ways, that's true for Alucard too, but he has no ability to be carefree about much of anything.]

My apologies for appearing stern. It has been a trying time for many of us.

Perhaps it was simply the way I was raised.

N-no, it's fine, really... We're all pretty different, on this station.

[He tries for a smile, lowering his hands and giving a bit of a shrug.]

Anyway, it's... nice to meet you in person. I'd still like to take you up on your offer to help you out.

I would gladly accept your assistance.

If you wish to help me, then there's much I will need to show you. And most importantly, what you may need to do for me should we have patients in the future.

[He nods, maybe a little too eagerly.]

Yeah, please. Even if you can just show me the basics, that's a lot more than I know already.

Hopefully we don't have any patients, but...

[Just in case.]

I hope that as well.

Most importantly... you must know that there is the possibility that I may fall abruptly unconscious during a procedure or check-up.

Eh?

[Is that really okay in a doctor?!]

Umm... right. What would I need to do?

You'll need to either wake me up, or continue the procedures without me. Preferably, wake me.

I'll arrange a solution in case this is to happen, but it's looking to be inevitable, unfortunately.

Yeah, I think waking you up would be best...

[If it's just a check-up, that's one thing, but Hajime's absolutely thinking about if this guy just conks out in the middle of surgery. That seems like it would be. Bad??]

I'm guessing it's not something you can just solve with coffee...

I wish it were only that easy. No, my situation is not permanent, but it will make things difficult for a time. For that, I apologize. I seek no burden to others.

Oh... I mean, I don't think you have to apologize for something that's serious.

[He guesses? In either case, he just shakes his head and looks back to him.]

But yeah. As long as you teach me what to do, we'll do what we can. Right?

Have you had any other people offer to be your assistants?

I'm afraid you're the only one who has volunteered. Ren will assist as he can, but I've spoken to him even less than I have you.

I will... determine a simplified way for you to make sure I am awake when needed.

Oh, Amamiya... he seems like a reliable guy.

[He thinks. Mostly he's basing his opinion off the fact that he's friends with Haru and Ryuji.

He can't help but make a bit of a face, though.]

Is it really that complicated? I'm not dumb, you know.

[Just average.]

No, I didn't mean to imply I thought less of you. More that it may change how you think of me.

I am half vampire by my father. With that in mind, if someone was able to make holy water, a drop of that would wake me immediately.

Uh...

[...You know what. There's a girl with eyeballs on her wings across the room. He's not going to waste his energy arguing about how implausible, how utterly crazy, how brain-numbingly impossible that is.

He's tired. He just nods with more than a hint of resignation.]

Sure. Okay. So we just have to get holy water. Might not be a bad idea to just spray it all over the whole station while we're at it. Like an exorcism or whatever.

[good boy]

If we can find someone ordained, then they can bless the water. That could help, but I think the station may be beyond holy water.

Right. Okay. Hopefully there's someone like that.

...So are you going to, like... need to drink people's blood...?

[Is that why he wanted to be the doctor... free snacks...]

[why y'all so rude]

Eventually, yes. But I do not take from someone who does not agree to share.

You aren't in any danger from me.

I thought if a vampire bit someone, they turned into a vampire, too...? Or is that wrong.

[Perhaps... he could become the Super High School Level Vampire?? No, that's too stupid, even for him.]

It's a little more complicated than that. I would have to do much more if I wished to make someone else a vampire.

Oh... I see.

[Hm. Well. This sure is a thing to learn about someone. Not only is Alucard barely older than he is, but he's also (allegedly) a vampire. Sure.]

Well, um... I look forward to working with you.

[He holds out a hand for a handshake. He probably should have done that when he was introducing himself, but he'd been distracted.]

[Fortunately, Alucard is not offended. He gently takes Hajime's hand, giving it a fair shake.]

And I with you.
