It's been a while since Alucard has shown himself, not even could tell you where he's been most of the time. But now he sits in front of the fire drinking a glass of blood and watching the flames.

He isn't a nice guy but he is certainly botherable...one might even say bored.

"Master!" exclaimed Seras happily.

She stood barley containing herself.

Alucard keeps his eyes on the fire, "Police Girl" he greets her and then takes a sip.

"I've made a new friend," she said.

"Yes, tell me about them?" he inquires, maybe he already knows, maybe he doesn't, not like he would tell her one way or the other.

"Her name is Kate," explained Seras, "She's from the American Old West. I met her in a bar brawl here a few months back."

Alucard looks up at her, "You participated in a bar brawl?" he wonders, "Did you kill anyone?"

"Oh, I nearly ripped the arms off a vampire here," she said, "But he deserved it, he was not being so nice to Kate."

She wasn't sure if that was what had happened or not.

"Belar stopped it," she said, "I also got to spend some time in Baby."

"You are progressing Police Girl." he gestures, "Take a seat." he adds, "Do remember that we serve Sir Integra not this Kate."

She sat down at his feet.

"I have not forgotten that," she explained.

"Good." though he will keep an eye on it just in case.

"Why do you like this Kate person?"

Seras shrugged, "I'm not sure."

She fell silent and watched the fire.

"This is an interesting place" he seems to be in a talkative mood.

"It is," said Seras with a sigh.

Rem landed silently by his side and crouched saying nothing.

Alucard is aware of Rem's presence but continues to watch the flames and sip his blood, though he does crack a small smile...he has missed this place.

"It is good to see you," she said.

"You haven't changed." closest he will get to a 'good to see you too'

Rem laughed a little.

"I have seen something interesting," she said.

"What is that?"

"I saw Ryuke," she said, "He is another like me. He had a human with him that had less than a year to live."

"This is interesting? not good or bad?"

"It is interesting that Ryuke took interest in the human," said Rem, "It is also interesting that Ryuke is here."

"Why is that? Many come here...you are here." he points out.

"Because it is Ryuk," she said.

Alucard smiles, "Is that how you have been amusing yourself?" he asks.

Rem smiled back.

"That and flying," she said, "I have learned chess."

"Would you care to practice your skills?" he offers.

"Flying or chess?" asked Rem with a wry smile.

Alcuard grins, "Whichever."

"A game of chess is always welcome," she said, "I am not the strongest player."

"Do you have a board?" he wonders not in any rush. "Playing is the only way to get better." he will show her no mercy.

Nor would she expect any less from him.

She nodded and pulled the folded wooden chess board from an ambiguous nowhere around her shoulders. She unfolded the large board and took two bags from the middle. She took out a pawn from both bags and then laid the board down and tossed Alcuard one of the bags. The board and it's pieces were sized so her large hands would have an easier time moving them. She started to set up her side of the board.

Alucard took the second bag and set up his side of the board.

Rem Palmed the two pawns and switched them around behind her back. She then held her fists out in front of her.

"Which one?"

Alucard waves her off, "You are white, you begin"

"You are saying so because I AM white," she said with a wry smile.

She opened her fists and placed the pawns and took her time to make the first move. It was white pawn 2d to 4d.

Alucard counters and takes another sip of his blood.

Rem crouched and looked at the board. She made her move.

"It is a difficult game, sometimes," she said, "It depends on the opponent I guess."

"I can't remember that far back" he admits as he takes another move.

Rem counters by building up the defences of her pawn.

"Well, you should play Light sometime," she said.

"I thought you weren't fond of Light?" he says nonchalantly, "Or is it that you want me to beat him?"

Rem laughed, "I have decided to play a more insidious game with him. I've decided to mess with his head."

She moved her knight into position in front of her king.

"And if you play him and win, it may quell his ego a little," she said.

"That is a sagacious strategy." he offers. "He needs to learn his place." Alucard agrees.

"It may change the outcome of the events that lead up to my death," she said, "Or it may not. In the end I am still bitter about it."

"Is that what you are interested in?" he wonders, "Changing your fate?"

Rem shook her head, "Not my fate."

"Whatever you like" he moves his piece for a check mate.
