Well in this one I'm experimenting some sort of new dialog style, tell me if it sounds nice.


WEDNESDAY (well it was more like Tuesday to Wednesday night)

Alucard was unusually sneaking in the basement's corridors. Unusually cause he was usually used to use his very useful skills of phasing and teleportation to sneak around. (A/n: here comes the brain killing sentence).But this time he kinda wanted to break the habits to kill some boredom. He had left his room and was heading to Seras' chamber. He perfectly knew that Walter had brought the blood to Seras at 21:00.

Now in front of her door, he frowned as he overheard strange sounds coming from inside. He eavesdropped a bit, and could now ear sounds of swords clashes. Curious he waited to ear some more. The he heard some Japanese voices covered by Seras' voice spouting: "Ha! There you are you punk! This time I'll tear you into pieces!"

Alucard completely forgot his first goal when he heard her fledgling spouting something worthy of the blood in her veins. The important goal of this night was now "annoying the police girl and getting blood by any means" but "embarrassing the police girl, discover what makes her swear and getting the blood by any means".

He phased in the room bearing his special "Now you're interesting me!" grin. And wondered what the hell was happening when he saw his fledgling Indian style sat in front of a screen. He first thought she was just watching the TV. But why was she randomly bending her upper body left and right, there more while squeezing something in her hands.

Now standing right behind her, dubiously looking at the TV screen, he wondered what kind of movie that could be. He was focusing his attention at those two guys fighting each other with moves he judged quite styled.

Then suddenly he focused back to Seras' spouting "Yes! I won!" hands in the air. Alucard frowned.

"You won what police girl?" He softly asked even more dubious.

One scream later...

"Ah... Erm... Master I didn't knew you were there. You scared the living out of me!"

"Obviously, but what did you win? You were just watching, a gamble maybe?" said Alucard with a pondering tone.

"Ha... You don't get it Master I was the one controlling the left character with this gamepad which is wireless connected to this playstation there near the TV. You never played video games, didn't you?" explained the fledgling to the master

"Video games? Once I heard that those things kill your brain if you play them too much. Am I right?"

"Huh... What you heard seems to be quite an old rumor I suppose. Anyway we are vampires, aren't we? It's no harm to us."

"Well if you call yourself a vampire" joked the vampire with a faint smile.

"Cooooome on Maaasterrrr..." implored Seras at this teasing.

"Hey I didn't say it was no harm to you because your brain was already fried" He added while chortling.

Seras sighed.

"So how do we play?" asked the elder staring at the young in the eyes.

"Does Master really wants to play with me? Thought Seras while recovering her breath.

Alucard came closer and closer just after picking that thought. He was now whispering at her ear: "Sure I do. Why would I have asked if I didn't want to do it with you? So how do we play Seras?"
Seras' face reddened. Why her Master called her with her name, and why did he wanted to play video games with her? That wasn't the matter at all. What was she blushing for seriously? Eh? Anyway she corrected herself and moved one:

"Huh. Okay. First take the second gamepad; it looks like the one I'm using. It's on the table near the blood bucket."

"Ah, the blood, I totally forgot it, I'll think about it later." thought the elder as he took the gamepad in hands near his fledgling sides.

"You must hold it like this Master. See?" Seras chuckled seeing her Master holding the playstation gamepad like a gun.

"Right, so how do I control the character?" asked gently Alucard, not the least annoyed of the world by his fledgling laughs.

"First, let me start a new game."

She started moving the selection highlight over "Versus Mode" and pressed X.

"This character selection screen, this is where you can choose a character, use the pad's cross to move the highlight with and press X to select the character."

"Mhh im not in this game what a shame! But this guy looks good." Alucard had just selected Nightmare as a character whereas Seras had picked Sophitia.

"Huh, Yeah he's cool, Watch out its about to start." She warned.

-Round 1-
Alucard attentively watched the two characters taunting each other in the intro scenery as the camera moved to the classical view of fighting games. Seras looked at him, showing him the buttons on her pad: "Well, see Master you control your character movements with the cross, you can block hits by pressing still on X and you can attack with..."

-Fight!-
Alucard was already pressing the buttons that were O ∆ and □ like a mad man delighting of the moves his character was doing.
He started grinning like mad. This also made Seras realize that her master's character was slamming hers against a wall and was repeatedly attacking it with side swings... But it was too late. She really sighed when she saw that he finished her character by heavily stamping it on the ground.

-Nightmare Wins!-

"Ahaha, Sophitia you suck!" He giggled expressing his amusement.

"Master! I wasn't playing." She shouted in the hurry of fighting back.

"You were Police girl, you're holding the pad." He chuckled.

"How the hell does he already know so many moves with that character?" She thought.

"You know Police girl, I did read in your mind how to play and so I learned at the same time most of the hits you know at this game." He explained to her.

"Damn master that's... ch...cheating!"

"Cheating you say? Just wait I start predicting all your attacks by reading your mind!" He added.

"What?! Master! There's no use playing with you!"

"You're wrong there are lots of use, lots of fun for me and training for you."

"Training!? what?"

"Dear fledgling use this as some kind of training for your mental block abilities, I won't read your mind with insistence as I have to focus the most of my attention on doing those moves."

"Huh... I guess you're right..." She quietly said blushing of embarrassment.

-Round 2-
Seras focused herself on the game while erecting a mental block which simply consisted of humming a song in her mind.
Alucard was surprised that his fledgling had such a way of hiding her thought. Nevertheless he tried fighting her with the moves he just learned and some other he accidentally made. He judged he was doing quite well according to the fact it was his first time.

-Sophitia Wins!-
Seras had stuck out her tongue at her Master grinning of joy.

"Ahah! Master I bet you never knew about guard breaking hits and projections didn't you!".

"How do you do these? Explain me."

"Well each hit are done differently with every character, but the projections are always made in the same way. You can do..."

It took only a few fights for Alucard to master all of Nightmare's moves. Against all odd there was quite a challenge playing against Seras, she was pretty strong at that game. She even globally had the upper hand on him. As round were going on Alucard was trying harder and harder to read her mind, and was happy to see that on her side Seras was erecting stronger and stronger mental blocks. In some words they were both having a good time playing together.

Around midnight their stomachs were both growling. Reminding them that stuck in the heat of the game, they totally forgot to have their dinner.


So what game are they playing?
