#words! words! words! — asylum-related content (focused around Seward and Van Helsing)

#the unwary fly — nervous thoughts and regrets (faltering devotion to Dracula / end-of-novel mindset)

He's gonna be in Mr. Harker by the end of the month you know that right

Who is Mr. Harker!??

[unwavering-devotion]

Your "master" lies dear. He may be powerful, but he only cares about how useful you are. Im sorry.

How dare you say such awful things!? He has not lied to me! He has even given me a gift! He will give me many more, in fact!!

Faith and usefulness, do they not go hand in hand? And I am so faithful.

Too late he’s already here…

All isopods are wonderful. I hope yours brings you great joy.

Sincerely, an isopod keeper.

Mine has brought me great joy, yes! My Master bestowed it upon me, after all.

[unwavering-devotion]

I brought you spiders, Mr. Reinfield! I hope you like them! 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷

Thank you kindly! I will like them, indeed! I have been attempting to obtain more spiders to get rid of my flies, so these will help.

Ultimate test here, ultra scientific.

Master (Count Dracula),

Yay, or nay?

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, y

[voivode-dracula]

My… Lord and Master, thank you again for your gift. I am honoured to receive something from you! I am honoured to be of service to you. I am… honoured in every sense.

Be faithful, Mr. Renfield, and there shall be many more gifts yet to come.

[unwavering-devotion]

Many more gifts?… God, God, God!!

[unwavering-devotion]

What could this possibly mean?

[unwavering-devotion]

Favorite cheese. Do you have one?

Yes, I do.

Hello there, Mr Renfield! Its strange, I feel like I know you from somewhere. By any chance, have we met before? Anyway, I thought I'd stop by to say hello, and bring you this: 🕷

I'm not sure why, but... I felt compelled to bring that to you. Almost as if someone was in my head, telling me to do so! Strange, isn't it? Anyway, I do hope you're doing well! 💕

Someone is in your head as well?! I hope it is not the same 'someone' that is in mine. You must tell me if it is! I wouldn't like you if such were the case.

I have never met you before, no, but there is something about you that-… no, nothing, it must be my madness. Nevertheless, you are giving me a meeting to remember!

Thank you for the spider, it will go with the flies… or, what is left of them. It would also join the bees, but I kept my word and threw them into my doctor's study.

[voivode-dracula]

I am in no one but you, Mr. Renfield.

[unwavering-devotion]

And the cycle continues. How are you Mr. Renfield?

-A.B

I am just a tad irritated, I will admit. My doctor did not seem to like my pets at all, and has told me to get rid of them. Since I am a good man, I, of course, agreed to do so, but-… oh, nothing. I am going to focus on what I can do with this spider now!

[unwavering-devotion]

Dr. Seward came to me today, and I had the opportunity to show him the flies I have been collecting! I was quite proud of the number. Even he knew there was a lot, because I now have three days to clear them away.

A shame… but, now I know what to do with the spider I was given!

Any one will do? Here is such a one.

Have you really-…?

Ohh, thank you! It is as colourful as the one in the photographs! You are very generous… my Lord.
