[possidetur]

( surprisingly that would now be true. she'd run into him in the midst of her own hallucination )

I thought that no one was with you?

[reposing]

No one was. However, when someone here I knew had died abnormally and came back to life, it was recorded by the station.

Perhaps I could inquire and find if it is possible to locate a recording of my experience.

[possidetur]

You could.

( vanessa had learned something of men in the walls, of computers, though it was still wildly unfamiliar to her )

I may also be able to help if you're willing. I cannot guarantee an answer.

[reposing]

I would graciously accept your help as well, Vanessa. Whatever it is you can do for me.

[possidetur]

I am able to see events that have happened.

( vanessa could do more than that but it wasn't relevant )

I may be able to see what you've described.

[reposing]

I see.

[Once before, someone has had a glimpse inside, experienced what he experienced. Though very personal, he could not say he has any contempt for Vanessa witnessing it.

He nods.] How is it done? What do you need from me?

[possidetur]

Only your hand.

( she just needed his touch. they were other ways that vanessa could do this but touch was the simplest, and more likely to net her what she wanted )

If you're certain about this.

[reposing]

I trust you, Vanessa. I am certain.

[He holds out his hand to her.]

As you need.

[possidetur]

( vanessa nods before she takes his hand, covering it with both of hers. there's a breath before she closes her eyes, senses extending from her hands to his, almost crawling across him to his mind.

when vanessa speaks her voice is low, describing the events )

I hear a voice. It's faint. Broken.

( there's a small frown. it's almost jumping in her head causing vanessa to have trouble focusing on the event.

seconds more pass before vanessa opens her eyes, letting go of his hand )

I didn't see anyone. What I could hear wasn't the full conversation, just parts of it. Words but no emotion.

( not a spirit, she would assume. nothing real )

Whatever you saw I believe only you could see.

[Alucard waits, tense but patient. He wants it desperately to not be true, but he worries, frantic, what if it was her. In his heart, he knows it isn't, but still--]

Then it is... possible that it was merely in my mind. And not at all her.

But I would hear your thoughts on the matter.

[possidetur]

( she nods. that's her belief as well that it was a hallucination.

she doesn't answer his request immediately, giving herself a couple of moments to get her thoughts together )

Something caused this-- vision. ( she's putting it politely ) When you were ill did you see anything or was this the first instance?

[reposing]

I'm afraid that I have no other details. Just that this was the first and only instance. I would not have opened my eyes if I ... didn't feel her kiss my forehead.

I should not trust my senses during that time.

[possidetur]

I wish that I could tell you something more hopeful.

( though in addition to seeing things vanessa had also-- felt things. had that been a result of just her hallucinations or because of her possession also? )

I fear that my experiences are not similar enough to give you a comparison. ( there's a momentary pause, her expression a little uncomfortable as she scratches the memory ) But I did also feel what occurred. In my mind, then, everything was quite real. I would have had difficulty discerning it from reality.
