[This time Wes is making a video post from … the hospital. He's bandaged up in various areas and has a broken leg in traction, not that it's visible from the camera angle. Yeah, he sure did try to take on ~the Darkness~.

It didn't work out.]I may have to temporarily rescind my offers to help the citizens of the Port. I had a close encounter with a

[He cannot see the video, but he is happy to hear the spry young man's voice in the daylight.]

Ah Herr Wyndam-Pryce!

So you did survive the night.

Audio;

[marlborocousin]

Yes. Yes, I did. It was a very close call, but I'll be ... much more prepared next time.

Audio;

[master_helsing]

Of course, of course you will.

I have on good word that my dear friend, Doctor John Seward, is to tend to you. In no-time you will be strapping enough and I shall show you first-hand what need be equipped.

[marlborocousin]

Really? I can't wait for the opportunity to work with you. I've heard a great deal abo-- your reputation precedes you.

[master_helsing]

So I am beginning to hear.

Seems my infamy has crossed even time and dimension.

[He's not so sure if he's intrigued or disturbed by this.]

But I am eager to share with you what I know; we have enough dead men and unliving out there, Herr Wyndam-Pryce. I look not forward to seeing another amongst their ranks.

[marlborocousin]

You're rather legendary, I have to say.

And don't worry, I don't plan on joining their ranks any time soon.

[master_helsing]

Legendary, ay? Now here is thrice time I hear this word, but no such luck why this is.

[As far as he knew, he was rather a pariah amongst the scientific world, and after the incident in Carfax and Transylvania he had taken measures to wipe himself from the non-fictional world. Though he supposed being just a mere 'legend' was well enough...]

[marlborocousin]

I, er, I probably shouldn't say things because it might ... cause dimensional interference. But I admire you very, very much.

Audio;

[master_helsing]

[A humble laugh at that.]

I shall have to pry your brain at a later interval, interfere or not, I believe we are in a vast cluster of realities as is.

[That is to say.. nothing you could disclose could blow his mind too much as his very existence in this place has.]

So that begs the question, where do you hail from?

Audio;

[marlborocousin]

Ah, you're welcome to. I'm not sure ... what differentiates my reality from any other, but I'm from England. Was. I've been in the States for awhile, mostly making my way around the west ...

[master_helsing]

When you are well, I will not hold back.

Witnessing the menace infect its way across even the big pond discomforts me. I admit this is my first time tilling the soil of the New World, but I am gladden to hear they have deployed your sort even so far.

You must miss the Old World, ay?

Audio;

[marlborocousin]

My sort is ... all over, I believe. Though our base of operations still remains in England.

Sometimes. It was my home. But I'm adjusting. I think I'm beginning to prefer it here.
