yes what's your point

they could have taken me from when i was human too

[singinghuntress]

it would be weird to be human again

...it would be even weirder to see you human.

[goneforawalk]

if it took you from the war you wouldn't know the difference

well i was a shitty human so it's fine that it didn't pick that version of me

[singinghuntress]

True. it would still be weird though.

I'd be klutzy again.

How is that different than how you are now?

[goneforawalk]

it wouldn't be weird because you wouldn't know

very funny

[singinghuntress]

😛

I thought it was.

still.

I don't want to be that much of a klutz again.

[goneforawalk]

i regret teaching you emojis

you were pretty bad

[singinghuntress]

all your fault! 😝

...yes, I was.
still can't believe I messed up my glasses that night.

[goneforawalk]

what i can't believe is that you wouldn't even listen to me when i told you i was an enemy repeatedly

[singinghuntress]

...That wasn't my greatest moment.

To be fair.

you were short and child size.

[goneforawalk]

i had a tommy gun

[singinghuntress]

My eyesight was shit.

I didn't see the tommy gun.

All I saw was a short blob of white that looked vaguely female.

[goneforawalk]

i could show you what that form actually looked like if you wanted

[singinghuntress]

...

Sure. I'm curious now.

video.

[ he switches it to video and he's sitting in his apartment in a chair, facing the screen. he's shorter, with long hair and blunt bangs, wearing a white suit and overcoat with a white fur hat.

he grins: his mannerisms are exactly the same. ]

Okay.

Re: video.

[Give her a moment to just stare at him? Her? Rip adjusts her glasses for a moment. Then takes them off and rubs her eyes and then puts them back on and stares for a few moments longer.]

Zhis...is vat knocked me out?

[goneforawalk]

Yes.

[ he laughs. ]

I'm Hellsing's attack dog for a reason.

[singinghuntress]

[She rolls her eyes slightly.]

You remind me of a chihuahua. Or some sort of small dog. Zhough, I zhink zhat's mostly because of all zhe vhite.

So..if you look like a little girl, are you a little girl like zhis?

[goneforawalk]

I'm a big dog when I transform, but I could be a puppy too.

[ don't be a puppy, alucard ]

What, like my body? My body is female, but my mind remains the same.

[singinghuntress]

I'm already afraid of you. Please don't make it vorse.

[So please, don't be a puppy.]

Yes, zhat. I mean. I vas curious.

[goneforawalk]

What's wrong with a puppy?

[ he cants his head slightly. ]

I can change into any form I like. Male, female, otherwise. I don't really care what I look like, the forms mean nothing to me.

[singinghuntress]

I'm afraid to azk vat kind of puppy. I remember you hafing multiple hands. How can I know you're not like.. a Cerberus puppy or zomething.

[Honestly.]

...I hate to say it but, zhat's pretty neat.

[goneforawalk]

I have a lot of hands. And eyes. And mouths. So I suppose you're right.

[ a beat. ]

Of course it is. Everything I can do is neat.

[singinghuntress]

....You keep on getting creepier, you know zhat right?

[Sigh.]

...I vouldn't say everyzhing, but, zhat definitely is.

[goneforawalk]

I'm fucking Dracula, what do you expect?

I don't know, I'd say everything. Anyway, it's going to come in handy here.
