{┼}Since the humans of his own world had lost what little of their minds they still had in the week prior, the not-so-sane-himself vampire took it upon himself to... deal with them. In a not so orthodox way--as noted by the sight of him in the video lens, seated at the base of a stairwell, where across from him was an iron door, bolted shutKnowing

FFFFFF GODDAMN COFFIN.

[hellsingpapa]

ALUUUUUUCAAAAAAAAARD! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

[king_no_life]

[Oh good. He's somewhat normal again.]

Aa, the Master awakes.

[Taking a seat upon his coffin, he taps on the lid of the box.]

Have you sobered your nettlesome Electra complex?

[hellsingpapa]

...

I'm not....seeing things if that's what you are talking about.

[BUT HE WAS REAL DAMNIT. YOU FOUGHT HIM YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS.]

[king_no_life]

Good.

[With a deep creak, the coffin peals open, his loyal vampire peering down at him. What one would expect a cheeky grin from him, what starkly grave, even for one as dead as he.]

I have regrettable news.

[hellsingpapa]

[Arthur blinks. He didn't expect to see such a serious look on the vampire's face. He can only imagine what in the world had happen while he was locked up in there.]

What happened?

[king_no_life]

[Dispute his somber demeanor, his eyes were seething as he uttered in quiet disdain.]

Walter.. was driven to the brink of hysteria.

[Forbidden to skirt the truth to save his consort's face from shame before his employer, the vampire snuffed it out.]

..And took his own life.

[hellsingpapa]

[Arthur sits up, His eyes now level to the vampire's and he just stares at him, his face as blank.]

....Is this a joke?

[The vampire much be joking. Such an act was so unlike Walter...but then again what had happened...

He knew the vampire couldn't be lying to him, but the truth was something he couldn't expect right now.]

T-that's impossible....

[king_no_life]

[Sliding down till he was upon one knee in solemn genuflect, the beast bowed his head in that manner that was never mocking. He had failed to keep the little of this new legacy in tact. . . This was why he was just a slave.]

Forgive me...

[hellsingpapa]

[Arthur was frozen in his place. When he saw the monster bow before him and mutter those words he knew that this was serious.

One of his oldest and most trusted of friends and workers, was now gone.

He was uttered silent as he began to fall back, his shoulder blades resting against the wall of the coffin. His ice colored eyes just staring into space as his face began unreadable.]

[king_no_life]

[There was a long moment of dreadful silence. Heavy enough to asphyxiate. While nothing more could be done, the vampire would find himself bound to his mortal err.

Even his explanation felt empty, as a gelid hand reached to touch the master's writs, not submitting himself to pardoning it off as an excuse.]

Irrational.. irritable.. never had I seen him so disorderly.

I left only to come to your aid, Master.

[Breath but a whisper, he was lancing himself for not foreseeing the signs. For placing so much trust in the retainers loyal sense of stability.]

...Yet when I returned...
