[The device switches on to a sudden blur of motion, and a sword strike. The hand pulls back enough to reveal its source-- a defeated, gelatinous blue Chu. The creature dissipates, leaving only a strange glowing substance behind

Accursed...

[threshold_heir]

......

That was not meant to be heard.

[calmerkitty]

Ah-...! [Those darn keen senses.]

My apologies. I did not mean to eavesdrop...

[threshold_heir]

That is not necessary... this 'communicator,' is the reason you heard it.

[In a way, he wonders why you asked... but not enough to query.]

[calmerkitty]

Mm... But it's only polite for me to do so.

[Though his curiosity is getting the better of him, in hindsight, its better not to press the issue. At least for now.]

Then... may I ask why you are collecting them?

[threshold_heir]

I see...

The city's monsters appear to possess magic, or power. These... substances, may be of use for that reason.

[calmerkitty]

I see...

It would be good if there were a way for their power to be harnessed somehow.

I wish you luck on your endeavors, sir.

[threshold_heir]

Indeed, as our own powers are suppressed here.

...... Thank you.

May I have your name?

[calmerkitty]

For those of us who possess such abilities, at least.

You're welcome...

Oh, of course. My name is Subaru.

[threshold_heir]

I wonder if the humans are given a chip...

I see. I am Alucard.

[calmerkitty]

I do not know... But if they served some other purpose than to suppress one's abilities, then perhaps.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Alucard.

[threshold_heir]

Yet they can be removed...

Ah. You, as well.

[calmerkitty]

Yes. I do not know very much about the scientists or their goals... But I think that they can only do so much from the shadows.

It's still unsettling, to me.

[threshold_heir]

From the shadows....

They can do more than one would expect.

[calmerkitty]

That... can also be very true.
