[singinghuntress]

let me guess.

the experiments you mentioned.

😑

[goneforawalk]

naturally

almost every weakness has been stripped away over the course of a hundred years

it's why it's fruitless to face me

[singinghuntress]

Yeah.

I get that now.

[goneforawalk]

comfort yourself in that you had a say in your alterations

[singinghuntress]

if by 'say in' you mean agree to Dok's crazy ass experiment.

then sure.

[goneforawalk]

the point is you agreed

[ alucard didn't. ]

[singinghuntress]

Fine.

you have a point.

otherwise I wouldn't be here.

[goneforawalk]

perhaps it would have just taken you from another point

like the war

[singinghuntress]

...

If it had I would human now

[goneforawalk]

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.

[goneforawalk]

[ 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.]
