It's not so easy to sit on your arses when the Nazis show you what they're really doing, is it? When it's dressed up as just being caught in a place you can't leave, but where you can have almost anything you want, it's not so bad. There's no war, there's nothing to be afraid of but each other.

Now you see it and what we have to do. Destroy them and fight for freedom from Hitler's hand.

March 20, 1945

I had a dream about opening a drawer in my workshop and having syrup pour out of it and flood the room until I drowned in syrup, and now I can't help but write it down. What utter bollocks.

Syrup. I don't even like syrup, thin flavorless stuff. If I have to drown in something like that, let it be honey.

Now I feel like I need to clean the house because it's filled with syrup stains. Stupid drugs.


[ooc: Walter's birthday is (given by me) September 7, 1929, making him a Virgo. His horoscope from here is
Virgo August 23 - September 22
Upon waking, you may want to write down your dreams, because later today it may feel as though you've experienced a moment of déjà vu. Of course, this goes against your practical nature, but anything is possible. If you have it written down, you won't doubt yourself later. Today, you may also feel the need to clean your home and get rid of unneeded items.
Try: becoming a spy
So expect some of that.]

dark!Silhouette

CCCXLIV.

When I was a child, death fell from the skies on the city that was my home. Everyone lost friends and family. Many of us lost our homes. That was life during war.

When I was 14, I faced my own death at the hands of a werewolf. Terror was a rare experience in the life of one already titled Angel of Death, but I felt it then. If it weren't for Alucard's slow intervention, I would have died, strangled by Nazi filth.

Decades later, that same werewolf was the instrument of my first death in a filthy laboratory, putting me into the hands of a man I should have killed when I had the chance when I was 14. I died then and rose as a weapon to be aimed at the heart of Hellsing with my callousness and my cruelty and the driving power of my wish to see Alucard dead by my hand.

There is no redemption for a traitor. I have no excuses. I died, as much by my own hand as by the bullet in my body or the very failing of that body as it literally crumbled to ash or dust. It was a fitting end in its way. My thoughts may have gone the way that my killers wanted, but my last thoughts were of the young woman I had loved as my daughter. I found that much of myself before I died and for that I am grateful.

I have died again since then - ugly deaths, foolish deaths, and the death that brought me some measure of peace with what I am. I should think that in so many ways, death defines what my life was and will be.

[My, but Walter is sounding rather high-pitched today...]

Oh very original, City. As though I haven't been a squirrel before. There's a reason there's a bag of nuts in one of the bottom cabinets in my kitchen. This is growing outright predictable.

Once again, to the police force, I clearly did not try to remove my monitoring bracelet. I think you can rest assured that I will be causing no trouble today.

Reeve, if you're even human today, there is no need for you to consider coming in. Little work will get done on a day like this.

[A quiet, almost distracted murmur of someone who doesn't realize he's speaking aloud, accompanied by quiet clinks, the sounds of drawers opening and closing, and something that might be a file rasping on metal.]

One, two, three... I need more gunpowder. New shells. Should investigate gloves that make handling silver less problematic. Ironic to make silver bullets for others. Syrup drawer. Ah, Alucard, and now you are the more trustworthy one. Arthur's been so quiet lately. Does he long for the peace of... Ophelia has gotten herself into a fix again. Is there a point to my... Asuka needs... shopping. I wonder if she would prefer a more appropriate wardrobe? What is appropriate at her age and station? She's a good fit. Certainly as proud as Integral ever was, though not as controlled. Not that Integral didn't and doesn't have a temper. What would she have been like had Arthur not died when he did? Less? More? I cannot change the past. If I could... It doesn't matter. Past is past. Where did he put that caliper? I do detest when he tidies up. The bathtub needs scrubbing. A cup of tea would do a treat. Pity I can't have Pup fetch it. I'll get this on the centrifuge and then put the kettle on. Something aromatic, I think. So good to be home, though this ankle bracelet chafes. Annoying not to be able to change form... Can't have the police accusing me of tampering. Better to be left with the size disparity than to be back in that cell. I could have escaped. Tempting, but I will present that genteel face to the City and the court and I want to hunt to taste blood hot and unadulterated and spiced with adrenaline and the salt tang of human skin and stolen warmth and then home to Alucard to...

This is on.

Damn.

Never underestimate the power of a familiar place to lay one's head. It is good to be home.

Although, Alucard, we must discuss your ideas of redecorating.

Is there anyone on the network who would like to earn a small bit of money? It is a minor task I require. A trip to the grocery - I will arrange payment - followed by delivery to my flat, where you will be paid for your time and trouble.

I wonder if the elder Alucard would see my blithe lies and apparent unconcern with Tony last night as indicative of my inherent duplicitous nature.

I am hurting Tony with my choice to lay blame on Henry.

I believe he will survive it, but...

I told him when we first met that friendship with a vampire was ill-advised. I told him that I was a monster, and he would not believe it.

If he ever learns the truth, he will believe it then.

I lie so easily. Perhaps I am more what Millennium made me than I choose to accept.

Boring. All you people caught in your might have beens. I think the most boring part of this City is the peace. Yes, the peace.

There is so much complaint of the violence and the curses, but there is no actual war. Just the tastes that Millennium so kindly gives you to remind you that your peace is fleeting. In the end, what remains is blood and fire.

I am returning to the Deus Ex Machina II, Major. I can only assume that it was a curse that has deposited me in this flat. It smells of vampire, but there are no other inhabitants but a bulldog that my familiar has taken a liking to.

If this is the City's idea of giving me a new home, it is unnecessary and unwanted.

[ooc: The curse caught Walter just a bit late. What if he had always willingly served Millennium? This will affect Pup as well because Pup is Walter's creation. Off-network threads here are off-network and not available for infomodding.]

CCCXXI.

A foot crushes down on the ashed remains of what had been a monster of God and the view takes in a new Walter Dornez. A cold-faced man returning to the war and habits of life long left behind.

"Trash. When a human dies, it becomes trash. Furthermore, there is no purpose in burying trash. Is there, Integra?"

A chorus of questions of cries for an answer. Is that Walter? What happened?

"What happened to me?" His voice is cold, relating the truth without concern for the damage it causes. "I was taken and transformed into a vampire. Following that, my mind was washed clean, effectively removing any reservation I would have had from fighting."

He walked forward through the falling debris of the building he had just destroyed with a casual flash of wire.

"I just thought that if I answered, it would satisfy you, Seras.

"I stand here without life, unlike many others before me. I stand here as myself. Here... as Walter. C. Dornez. And so, following along with my murderous intent, I think it is high time that I sever you all from this 'dawn.'"

What expression Integra wears is not shown. This memory is Walter's and focuses on him. It shows the anger that flashes on his own face as she calls out, "Walter... Why? Walter!"

The rage with which he shouts back, "Do not call me by that name any longer!"

There is a flash of motion and the memory ends.




Why indeed.

CCCXX. Private/Locked

How far down can this downward spiral run?

I remember this feeling. This sense of dancing on the edge of something that could swallow me.

I should have better control.

Yesterday was successfully diverting, for a time, but the blood loss from fighting with Ophelia and my anger and the Corinthian's anger... It was a feedback loop. I think he and I could have egged each other into true atrocities given just a bit more time. Bad enough that I gorged on three.

I need to deal with the source of that anger. I think when it is eliminated...

I may be lying to myself.

"Seek help."

Who will help? Arthur? Alucard? Alucard, love him though I do, is no help. Part of loving him is recognizing his shortcomings, and empathy is assuredly one of them.

I will deal with Henry, and with him the police, and I will start fresh. Perhaps I'll go on a pre-packaged diet for a while. Or simply work to be more discerning.

Or find an acid pit in the underground for better disposal.

Dear City,

To Hell with you.

With hatred,
Walter Dornez

How self-indulgent of me. How self-indulgent this entire conceit of keeping a so-called private journal is. I should know, after my time here, that nothing committed to network or even to paper, is truly private.

But I must--

I must collect my thoughts.

Alucard believes that things are settled between us, and I suppose they are. Or will be after a bit of silver dust.

But things are not settled with Henry.

How dare he?

Reason, Walter. Use your reason. Remember human reason.

Human reason. That it is reasonable that Henry should be allowed to drink from Alucard because Alucard and I attacked him?

No.

I can say the words to myself, but they are empty.

As empty as the reservoir of human sentiment that I have left.

The truth is something I couldn't recognize when human. Blood is coin of the soul, and I would rather that creature touch Alucard's body than his soul.

Mine.
