Sorry- for a moment I thought you were going to say something about the amnesia incident. The way you said that, it made me think you knew something about it.
Private, to Alucard Well, maybe I do. I don't remember everything that happened to me since I left... home, but I have been remembering why I stopped telling people about where I came from.
So... five hundred years. There can't be much in the world you haven't seen... what is there left to be interested in? What do you do to entertain yourself?
Subtle shades of meaning get a little lost over the internet, don't they? And yet, somehow, when you say fascinating like that... it reminds me of a predator who enjoys playing with his food before he eats it. [deleted] You find the unpredictability of human behavior enough to keep you occupied? In what way?

My dear child, when I died, I feared death, so I accepted immortality. I have regretted it ever since. You see, humanity is something that is precious. I admire the courage and bravery of humans, their generosity and charity. At the same time, I loathe cowardice that some human's possess. Immortality is only for those who have earned it. I am merely a spectator and a player on the world's stage, my boy.

I don't know if even those who have "earned" it deserve immortality. Why would someone want to live forever?
You sound like him. You sound like Silas. He said almost exactly the same thing to me, once. I told him I wanted to be like him, and he said, "No, you do not." I said, if I died, I could stay where I was, with the ones I grew up with, and that would be fine. And he said... he said what you said. And he said that people have infinite potential. To live a life to the fullest, and to know peace when it is over... this is the point of living.
People, human people, are always afraid. They are afraid of anything they don't understand. Fear drives them. What I don't understand is how they can recognize "monsters" when the real monsters stand among them every day...

Whoever this Silas is, he is wise and you should listen to him. I have always enjoyed the company of the finest human minds that have graced this planet.
Humans allow themselves to be consumed by fear make for excellent meals.

I do. ...I did. He was always the one I trusted more than anything. I haven't seen him in a long while though. I wonder if he would agree with you about the taste of fear. It wouldn't surprise me if he did.
