[The crystal blinks on to a seemingly young man with quite the elaborate clothing-- and he looks rather unhappy. He paces out of view for a moment.]

Julius? Yoko! [Silence... He steps back into view.] Damn. What just happened? Soma couldn't have... [Bringing a hand to his face, he pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs.] This keeps getting worse

I am afraid that I do not know of anyone by those names, sir, but I can confirm at least that your senses have not deceived you. You are indeed a very long way from home.

[Disappointing news, but there's a chance they could be lost elsewhere.]

...Interesting. [He considers the voice from the crystal briefly.] You must know what this place is, then.

It is less a place than a collection of separate places, bound together by strange forces. Wherever you are now is only a small part of the whole. It all appears to exist for the specific purpose of this conflict.

I see. [An infinitely more helpful response than he'd been receiving.] A ... dimension made up of many lesser worlds. Is that correct? ...Anything else?

Voice

[smooth_sith]

It appears that way, yes. However, before I give you any more information I am afraid I must ask which side our 'leaders' have seen fit to place you on. I am sure you understand.

[Yes, of course... If this is indeed a war, enemies can't be helping each other. ...That would also depend on how far one takes this "faction" business, but he does understand.]

It seems the goddess Cosmos summoned me.

That is unfortunate to hear. For I have found myself serving the god of Chaos.

However, if we must be enemies I would at least first know your name. I am Count Dooku of Serenno, Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

...You would call another your enemy because another bid it? [It's a mere question, no more and no less. Before now, he's never heard of these gods and he's not about to lay any loyalties down until he learns more.]

Very well. [He mulls over Dooku's name, titles. He's never heard of them before-- a fairly large indicator that they are not from the same world.] My name is Alucard.

I have my reasons for accepting Chaos' service, despite my reservations with his method of recruitment. Nonetheless, I am pleased to meet you, Alucard.
