Kairi had to admit that Riku's long-lost father sort of gave her the creeps at the dinner table but she could not bring herself to say it out loud in front of him. If it weren't for a physical resemblance, she would've thought he was an impostor trying to fraud Riku out of his newly inherited wealth. Still, the two had once more sat down on the leather sofa in the living room and Riku was completely exhausted mentally but was glad to get the formalities out of the way to say the least.

"So, you want to check out what's on TV tonight?"

"Sure. Let's see what's on Adult Swim, I think tonight is the same night they do their annual April Fool's prank. Could be wrong though. Let me find the remote."

Kairi immediately walked up across the soft carpet on the floor to reach the remote control but as she looked down, she was taken aback.

"Riku, get a look at this. You know the gaming console that the lawyer played your uncle's video will on?"

"Yeah, it was a Playstation 2. Those can play DVD's as well as games, you know."

"Get a look at this. This isn't a PS2. It's a PS4."

"Oh come on! We're still on the PS2. They're just now discussing the possibility of a Playstation 3 for next year. There's no way in Hell that they already have a Playstation 4, even as some kind of experimental prototype!"

"See for yourself..."

"It's probably just one of those foreign knock-off consoles or something."

"Then why would it work hooked up to an American TV, especially one of the new Hi-Definition digital flat screen TV's?"

"Fuck, you're right..."

Getting up to check, it became fairly obvious that Kairi was telling the truth. The console was a lot more blocky and looked more like a trapezoid than the slim rectangle that the newest PS2 models had. The controller also looked completely different and suddenly Riku felt a very surreal and jarring feeling, like he was in the Twilight Zone or something...

"Whoa. Why would Uncle Vladimir have a video game console from the future? I'm confused now."

"I don't know. But I think it might have something to do with his murder and why your dad came over here from Europe. Vladimir did have a lot of investments in different tech companies and electronics manufacturers, right?"

"Yep. He held stocks in Amazon, Microsoft, Sony, and Google. And now I have them as part of my inheritance. You think this could be some kind of corporate espionage or something?"

"Maybe. We should probably keep an eye on your dad and learn more about The Order of the Dragon and any corporate connections and business partners your uncle had.

Meanwhile, Sora was off in a game room that had a pool table, a jukebox, several arcade games and a bar as he chatted with his brother Cloud on his cell phone.

"Yeah, I agree with you that I think Riku's dad is a vampire and is the real Count Dracula. I can sense it, same as you guys can. But I don't think he murdered Vladimir. I've got the same gifts you guys have, I can sense he was telling the truth. I don't think he knows about us or any of the others in our pack. I've intentionally kept that part about our family hidden from Riku and Kairi, okay? As far as they know, you're just my older brother while Roxas and Xion are my fraternal twin siblings and Axel is a friend of the Strife family. Look, I'll meet you tomorrow night for the ceremony. It's at the mansion grounds, right?"

"Yeah. We're going to be in the clearing next to that grove of oak trees and evergreens just behind the graveyard and we'll have a bonfire built up so you can see us more easily."

"Alright. I'll be there."
