002 // Video - Action // in which Sora lets his ice cream melt

[lockandkeyblade]

[Filtered // from Organization XIII]

[So Sora's sitting on the steps in front of the Vita Apartments eating ice cream, but he doesn't seem all that interested in it. It's just sitting there, starting to melt all over his hand. He's lost in thought, looking frustrated, bordering on confused or annoyed.]

... I got a question...

Is anybody out there some kinda hero where they came from?

[He hesitates.]

Or anybody, really.

... How'd you end up figuring the good guys from the bad?

[Well Sora has no idea about that stuff, so potshot away, Alucard.]

But what if the war's... about what's right and wrong? Everybody knows wrong from right, don't they?

I mean, what if the people on the other side were 'hurting people'? Does good and bad mean anything then?

[Sora's insufferably entrenched in the mindset of light and dark. He understands... but he just can't grasp it. So many questions, Alucard.]

If it is generally known that killing is wrong, when why do we kill hundreds in war. In this little 'attempt to preserve good', hmn?

I've devoured over three million souls, each one resting inside this body of mine. I have also slaughtered Nazis on the killing fields of London. Slaughtered them like cattle. Because they would have destroyed us all if they weren't stopped.

I have no regrets about killing. I feel no remorse when I put a bullet through a man's head.

All I care about is the safety of my children, my friends, and Namine.

[This is the reason why he's so hesitant around the vampire. If Namine wasn't so adamant about staying with Alucard, Sora would be convinced he was pure evil. Devouring souls. Killing people without remorse. No conscience at all.]

[A part of him's in a rush to separate himself from it.]

I'm not like you, Alucard. I don't wanna ... kill anybody at all. You can do good without having to hurt people. You can protect the people you love without destroying everything.

Who ever said that I want to destroy everything? My, my.

There would be nothing left if I devoured everyone and everything. I need affection, devotion, and love like any other being that walks.

However, mine comes in the form of who holds onto my chain. I am a rabid dog, barking, pulling, and choking at the end of this chain. I am a leashed King. I never wander far from my throne.

I am not allowed to love, boy. Every person that I have loved has been taken away from me. Every creature has a breaking point. I have yet to reach mine. It takes a lot to make this old monster crumble.

I cannot die. Cannot be killed by conventional means. I am a monster that walks this earth for eternity. I am over 500 years old, boy. I have seen the types of charity and brutality humanity is capable of.

And it's the brutality that makes me sick.

You can't love ...

[He looks confused. Is Alucard incapable of feeling as much, or does he choose not to? Is he like the organization, lacking the capability to feel? Or is it something else?]

.. But then what about Namine?

[eatingwings.livejournal.com]

I can love. It is simply that all whom I have ever loved have been taken away from me.

As for Namine, I love the child as if she was my own child. She reminds me of my last Master when she was a little girl.

... What happened to her?

Your last master.

Re: lol typo

She is not here. And I have waited for her long enough.

So I have found a new one. Someone to hold my chain and control me.

_{[ Oh, but the devil doth indeed chuckle, and the sound is as the belling of Gehenna. ]}

[Sora briefly wonders what's going to happen to Namine if his old master ever does show up.]

I didn't know there was somebody here at Vatheon strong enough to do that...
