[Ok, Seras can't help but cover a yawn as the feed starts. What'd you expect from a vampire that just woke up for the night.]

Oh, excuse me. Hello. I'm Seras Victoria. I guess you could also call me Draculina. It's better than Police Girl.

[She gives the camera a smile and wave. Yes, she has fangs.]

I'm a former police officer and monster hunter. If anyone needs help with anything, I'll be around to help out. Please just let me know.

Really? What kind of monsters? I'm a paranormal investigator myself.

[died_a_virgin]

Vampires. Nazi vampires.

[gonebyebye]

Huh. Interesting. I've only encountered the one vampire myself. Usually it's ghosts, demons, a few zombies thrown in for flavor, and the occasional god for breakfast.

You a vampire too? I don't want to assume or anything, but the codename sort of implies it.

[died_a_virgin]

Yes. I am. One of two under the control of the Hellsing Organization.

[thedreamisdead]

Police Girl fits the naming scheme, at least.

[Not that "Judge Beeny" does either.]

You're not secretly an alien spider? Or a mutant bat? Or just an alien, bloodsucking shapeshifter?

[died_a_virgin]

I was called Police Girl for long enough.

[She can't help but laugh a bit at the questions.]

I'm not a spider or bat, but my Master could probably become both of those. I'm a Vampire. He called me a Draculina.

[saltsweet]

"Police Girl" would make a pretty forgettable superhero name, gotta be honest.

So did policing come with monster hunting or vice versa? That's a combination I haven't heard before.

[died_a_virgin]

I was a police officer before I became a monster hunter.

[saltsweet]

What prompted the career change?

[thedreamisdead]

Understandable.

[Vampires and Mega-City One have a history. She's not even going to bring up the Hell Street Blues. It might have been from an alternate timeline, and before she was born, but that doesn't mean it didn't make it into the history books.

She resists the urge to ask if the whole "Master" bit was a sex thing. It's always a sex thing.]

Beats being Draculara?

[gonebyebye]

Any relation to Abraham van Helsing?

[died_a_virgin]

I believe that he's one of Sir Integra's ancestors.

[died_a_virgin]

I guess so.

[Nothing sexy about her relationship with Alucard. At all.]

[died_a_virgin]

I nearly died....or did I die? Since I'm a vampire...

[deafleppard]

Draculina?

Seriously?

[fuckaccuracy]

Congratulations. You're already cooler than 100% of all the other officers I've run into.

[And killed.]

[died_a_virgin]

It is what I am.

[died_a_virgin]

Thanks?

[captainbuzzkill]

Vampire, huh? Vampire. [He pops the "p" sound a little bit.]

[This is new, ergo Dipper is trying to mentally slot Seras on his sliding scale of weirdness. At the one end are harmless supernatural creatures that you can beat in a fist-fight, like unicorns. At the other end are massively malevolent entities like dream demons and eldritch abominations. ]

[He decides to be chill about this for now, until he can get a better sense of Seras. This might be a Multi-bear situation, where she could turn out to be cool.]

That's cool, that's cool. [A shrug.]

There are a couple monster hunters here. I'm one, too. Sort of. Like...not professionally. It just kind of [he waves a hand vaguely] happens.

[saltsweet]

A vampire? [ Suddenly it dawns on Videl. ] Oh! Now I get your superhero name!

[deafleppard]

I mean, sure, but...

What about Vampire Girl?

Or was Batgirl already taken?

... Batwoman?

[died_a_virgin]

That's part of it. I am a vampire.

[Cue pointing to her fangs and then pulling down her collar to show the bite mark on her neck.]

[died_a_virgin]

Vampire Girl is too close to Police Girl and I can't change into a bat. I was still learning things back home.

[died_a_virgin]

[She raised an eyebrow at Dipper. She didn't chose to be a monster hunter, but she did chose to be a vampire. She shrugs a little as he does as well. It was better than him laughing at her.]

Sometimes things just happening can lead to a completely different life.

[He gets a friendly smile from her.]

I wouldn't consider myself a professional monster hunter either, but the organization I'm a part of might be considered professional, but we're not known by the public.

[gonebyebye]

Neat!

...oh. Just realized that I forgot to introduce myself. Dr. Ray Stantz, codename Ghostbuster. Just let me know if my questions start getting too invasive. I don't get all that much opportunity to speak to a supernatural being. Aside from my girlfriend, but she's only been a ghost for a couple months.

Mots of my other interactions with the supernatural involve blasting them with a highly charged stream of protonic energy.

[died_a_virgin]

It's quite all right. I don't mind. No one's really asked me a lot of questions about what I am or who I work for. I'll try to answer as best as I can. I haven't been a vampire for that long, though.

[gonebyebye]

How'd you become one, anyways? I mean, aside from the obvious answer of being bitten by another vampire.

[died_a_virgin]

I was sent out on a call about a preacher in Cheddar who was responsible for multiple homicide. The preacher wasn't human any more and killed the other two officers that were with me. He turned the entire village into ghouls.

[She looks down for a moment and takes a breath.]

When I tried to fight back, my Master showed up. I was used as a human shield, but that didn't stop my Master. I was shot in the chest after Master found out that I was a virgin and given the choice to become a vampire or die. I chose to continue to live...even if it's an unlife.

[gonebyebye]

[Ray decides not to ask about what effect virginity has on vampirism. Seras obviously seems uncomfortable bringing it up, and it's fairly easy to guess, anyways.]

Yikes. That doesn't sound like fun, if you'll excuse the understatement.

Just one more question, and then I'll try to hold my curiosity just so you're not stuck here answering questions forever. Does your Master have a name?

[died_a_virgin]

Oh, yes! It's Alucard.

[gonebyebye]

...your master is DRACULA: KING OF THE VAMPIRES?!

[died_a_virgin]

Yes. That's why I'm a Draculina.

[gonebyebye]

Has anyone pointed out to him that Alucard is the worst pseudonym ever? I mean, It's literally just his name backwards and it's been a thing in fiction since 1943's Son of Dracula.

[saltsweet]

[ Videl leans a bit closer to the screen, scrutinizing Seras' fangs. They look quite sharp. ]

You're not planning to start a coven here or anything, are you? I'm not sure my daughter would appreciate it if I came home all... fang-y.

[died_a_virgin]

I don't think he's trying to hide anything. If he shows up here, you can tell him.

[died_a_virgin]

Oh, no! I don't plan on doing that at all! I only drank blood once.

[saltsweet]

Really? I thought vampires had to drink blood to stay alive.

[died_a_virgin]

I might have to here, but the medical team said that they developed a substitute.

I actually had to sleep in a coffin back home to keep my strength up.

[saltsweet]

All right, that one I've never understood. I get the drinking blood thing---heart doesn't beat anymore, doesn't pump blood, that makes enough sense. But why a coffin? Wouldn't any old dark place do?

[died_a_virgin]

According to all the stories, vampires had to sleep in coffins lined with the soil of their birthplace. My master slept in one. I had a bed, but had to use the coffin or I got weaker.

[saltsweet]

That one might be a little more difficult to accommodate here, unless you're carrying around extra dirt.

[deafleppard]

You... You can't change into a bat?

Man, you're killing me over here.

[fuckaccuracy]

Yeah sure, anytime.

So, let's get to the good stuff. What kind of powers ya got?
