... is this box cursed to speak, perhaps? I hear many voices, and yet I see no one.

[There is a silent pause, broken eventually by the light scraping of boots on snow. Alucard is exploring the southern end of the city, just outside the dead treeline of the forest. He has been there for several hours already. So far, he has met no one... and so he

[nomnomguts]

How unfortunate for us then...

Oh? That's very optimistic of you! [Her voice is bright and little-girl earnest, not at all mocking.]
