[Video] ⌘ Tired in more ways than one
... They're finally gone.
[ The young boy collapses a bit tiredly, clearly having trouble operating the SFC. His outfit is in shreds, tophat gone, and he looks thoroughly... exhausted. It's clear he had a hell of a time trying to fight the things off himself. He's breathing heavily, but seems otherwise alright. He's silent. ]... Does it really ( Read more... )

... It's useless, though...
[ ... Wait, why is Nirvana reacting to this guy? Carl has no idea who he is or why his sister's reacting to him over the communicator, but... ]
... Huh...? Sis? ... D-do... do I know you...? Why... why do I feel like... you two know each other...?

[he smiles a bit softly with a tint of nostalgia.]
We are... old acquaintances.

[ He blinks--Nirvana is talking to this man? She actually... looks like she is. Huh. She seems a little defensive, actually. Maybe just wary. ]

I assure you once again, I am no longer your enemy. Especially in this place.

[ ... Nirvana seems to be slightly more at ease, and Carl is completely baffled by this. ]
... You're... I've seen you with that other girl... the girl who looked kind of like a rabbit.
[ Somehow he vaguely remembers Rachel and Valkenhayn, and feels like he's seen them both before. It's really weird. ]
Just... what is she? And who are you?
Reply
I am Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, servant of the Alucard family. My mistress would be better suited for answering any questions you have of her.
[He pauses a bit, before smiling more warmly.]
It seems Madam Rachel was correct. You truly do have the potential to become a bright star, indeed.

Mister Valkenhayn... um, then... that girl's name is Rachel? She wasn't very helpful before, actually... but what does she know about me? I mean, how does she know? I've never met her before coming here... at least, I don't think so. Though, it does kind of feel like I have...
[ Oh, gosh. This is so confusing, whut. Vague tugging at memories due to previous timeloops? Yes, that's what it is, he just. Doesn't know about it. ... He honestly isn't sure what to say about it. Truth be told, Carl was probably dooming himself to slaving over the impossibility of fixing his sister forever. A real waste of talent, but his mind is slightly one-track. ]
Reply
[He pauses a bit sadly at that, remembering that Rachel's position was taken from her... but there seems to be no point in bringing that up now, to Carl.]
It is our duty to watch. And we are both very interested in your progress; you have much ahead of you.
[He just continues to have an insufferable "I know more but I won't tell you" smirk on his face. Because that's what he does.]
Of course, it all comes down to the choices you make. Whether you choose correctly or not is entirely in your hands.

Observers...?
[ Well, that's really confusing. ... WAIT. ]
... I thought Ragna the Bloodedge was who we needed to go after, but... his Grimoire is fake. What choice is there to even take, now...? He... could be lying, but... it didn't seem like he was.
Reply
[He's not sure how much he can divulge, but decides to give some advice anyway.]
You must do what you believe is correct. Pursuing Ragna the Bloodedge may still be the correct path for you, if only because it shall help you discover more of the truth.
[He pauses, really not sure whether to say the next bit... but ah, he can't hold his tongue. Hopefully Madam Rachel won't be cross with him.]
...and it could lead you to the one you've been searching for, as well.

Father...
[ He's quiet. ... Maybe. It's certainly possible. Just thinking of Relius makes Carl sick to his stomach, and he tries to push the thought out of his head. ]
... The problem is getting out of this place... no one's figured out how to do it yet.
Reply
[he lets out a small sigh.]
It seems to be our fate to be trapped in closed loops. But I am sure one day we shall return to our world... you should take the precious time you've gained in this place to prepare for that eventuality.
Reply
[ Youuuu lost him. Sob no one told him about the timeloop thing. Actually he's still stuck in one. ]
There has to be a way out of here, right? I mean, the locals have contact with the surface, most likely...
Reply
[Just a crazy senile old man, that's all! Really.]
I am sure there is a way out... but I fear trying to force things along would be futile. Our opportunity will no doubt arise if we wait for it.
