Shortly after Florentino died is when Abbacchio was thrown off the force for the bribes he took. A proper salt in the wound that he couldn't exactly fault anyone but himself for getting weak like that, even if nobody else in the police had cleaner hands than him. Still, he's the one that was ratted out, and that's all that matters. For a time, he lived a depraved lifestyle, accepting that he was the one that should've died. He drinks until he can't think, and halfway expects to die in an alley with either a bullet to him or because his liver's finally given up.

What happened, in fact, is that he saw something he shouldn't have.

Someone had been grumbling about it won't matter if I just relight it before I go back, the words meaning nothing to him. Blearily, Abbacchio peered around the corner from where he was, half-awake in his drunken stupor. Something tore his very soul out of his body, piercing him with an arrow and giving him what he thought to be a burden at first. A creature that would wear the face of his mistakes, even if all he ever wanted subconsciously was to see Florentino again. Eventually, he did realize that this being was just trying to deliver that wish somehow, unintentionally hurting him in the process.

So really, he couldn't be mad at it. Instead, Abbacchio decided to try to find out what the hell caused this to happen.

They're called Stands, and much of Passione has people who use them. Each Stand is unique, representing the fighting spirit of a person. It would explain in part how the mafia became so powerful so fast if people did indeed develop Stands that could crush their foes under their feet, but it's something too big for him to deal with. Yet, Abbacchio has always had a hard time leaving a mystery alone, and the biggest one was the identity of Passione's Don, simply known as the Boss.

And there was something else interesting. The recent brutal execution of members of La Squadra Esecuzioni, because they became nosy themselves.

Well. It just so happened that Moody Blues was perfect for this kind of thing.

He cut a deal with their capo, Risotto Nero. He would help them find and kill the Boss, but obviously not without a price. It was an opportunity to take back his broken dream and reshape it into something maybe worthwhile. It was the mafia's power that corrupted his dream, so he would take control of the mafia himself.

With all of the assassins, they were able to not just kill the Boss, but Abbacchio also delivered on the identities of the one that killed their teammates. A gift of good faith, Abbacchio had remarked. He didn't give a shit about monstrous people like Cioccolata and his "pet", Secco. Risotto and his team could do with them as they pleased.

La Squadra Esecuzioni is paid proper now, and they're satisfied with their hard work being taken into account. Abbacchio keeps his identity mostly a secret, but he isn't concerned about Risotto and the others knowing him. Risotto's about as close to a friend as he has right now, so he talks to him the most, sorting out his plans and making sure it's profitable without compromising too hard on his morality.

So yeah, narcotics is something he's been working on the most, which is something that a good chunk of Passione isn't pleased about but putting down any insurrections is done swiftly. Some people left as a message for others, some gone quietly.

He reinstates himself onto the police force. Less to achieve his dream now, and more to keep his ear to the ground and have a realistic view of Italy. The police have no choice but to listen to the Don, whoever he may be, and though Abbacchio has no friends there he thinks he can make better judgments like this than in a giant fucking mansion. He can work when he pleases, and no one has control over him anymore. What can the police do except obey the Don?

So here he is, today, Officer Abbacchio: currently picking up a coffee for himself because the day is going to be long and a pain in the ass.

It's been a couple of years since he'd left Italy. Primarily, his skills in speaking English help him get along, especially with his various contract jobs. Of all of them, the Speedwagon Foundation pays the nicest, and the money is usually clean -- that's not exactly typical of most places, but it's kind of refreshing for a change of pace.

Not that Abbacchio probably deserves clean money.

Anyway, he's technically off shift, not that he'd care if he was still on the clock, as it were. He's seen this guy around a few times and hasn't really cared to know who he is, just kind of assumes he's probably upper management somewhere. He isn't bad to look at, but Abbacchio doesn't exactly play nice either. He'd said something along the lines of stop staring or fucking do something about it to the man.

That's about what led him to being on his knees in a closet sucking the guy's dick. Not that he has a problem with it; if he hadn't wanted to, he'd have put up a fight but he genuinely didn't expect him to be this big. To Abbacchio's credit, he doesn't choke, though.

He slides off with a lewd, wet pop and strokes him.

"This all you wanted? Fucking up my lipstick? That shit isn't cheap, stronzo."

With Jotaro at their side, taking on the Boss was much more feasible. In the end, after Abbacchio had obtained Diavolo's face and they met with Jotaro's old friend, they fought with everything they had to defeat him. It leaves Giorno Giovanna to become the Don of Passione, and with his power he is able to free Bruno. Just like that, really. Not to say that there weren't some disappointments from the rest of the team in some way; no doubt Giorno hoped to keep him around as an advisor and friend, but Bruno for once sees a future of himself with Jotaro.

He gives away his small house to Trish for her to use, to escape from the rest of the world if she ever needs to. Narancia promises to go back to school, ends up deciding to stay with Trish and keep her company. To protect her obviously! Narancia claimed, but more that they found friends in each other.

So, Bruno has his bags packed, and he looks outside the window from Jotaro's hotel quietly. It's hard to believe that he's going to be leaving tomorrow. He's never left Italy before, but for once he knows it'll be in good hands.

"Do you think she'll like me?" Bruno asks absently, meaning Jolyne.

The way that Uncle had stated it is that this was a fresh start for him after everything that's happened. That's not really a chance that he could refuse, not when gaining an acceptance to the Speedwagon Academy involved Uncle's help, who was also one of the student counselors. He'd been assured that his academic achievements really are what helped, but honestly Adrian suspects that it doesn't hurt with Uncle's insistence and the money to the name Ţepeş.

He might have just wasted his time anyway if he didn't try to move on, to do something with himself. So he's trying. Trying to do better, to be someone worthy to help others. It's a silly, romantic notion, but he does want to be that kind of person to another. A prince, Adrian thinks wryly. Maybe that's childish, but it's a nice thought.

The first person to really engage with Adrian in a conversation is one Kakyoin Noriaki, a Japanese student who had transferred over. He's intelligent, well loved by the teachers, and admired by many other fellow students for his achievements. Yet, his interactions are genuine, almost peaceful. He'd be a good friend to have, Adrian thinks.

It's a lunch break and he's departed from Kakyoin for the moment when his other more familiar friends approach, deciding he didn't want to intrude with the excuse of exploring more of the school for himself. In his hand, Adrian has a packet he's drinking out of. His has a unique diet, thus has a specialized medicine and meal alike to address his medical needs. A rare kind of anemia, he thinks distantly, not questioning the heavy taste on his tongue. Uncle has been giving it to him for ages now.

Then he sees it. A quaint garden, with several roses. It's a lovely area, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is here, which strikes him as odd.

[Centuries ago, Alucard defeated Dracula with the help of a Scholar and Hunter. Largely a fable these days according to many, several details wrong, but nonetheless he will always remember the day. After so many years, he's had plenty of time to repair the castle, to learn how it works and make it his own. The Belmont family long since had been given their home back, and he's changed the castle's location time and again, watching the world and rarely interacting with it. Often, people come to him. Usually vampires looking to claim power, or a misguided adventurer. Some, though rarely, do come seeking counsel. Those he has more patience for.

Today, some miles outside of Varanasi, is where he has the castle located. There are two that have come to meet him: a strange old woman, and a tall blond man. Neither of them seem to have much in common other than they, evidently, answer to another vampire named Dio.

Alucard has absolutely never heard of him before.

The little old woman, Enyaba, has spouted a story, how cruel and vile men had murdered her beloved son but her Lord Dio would help exact revenge -- revenge that is all the easier with Alucard's support. It does move his heart somewhat, and certainly more comparatively than how the man has made his approach, essentially trying to woo Alucard, asking aren't you lonely in this big castle all by yourself?, and he almost loses his shit when he's called ma'am.

Oh. Hm. That's kind of hilarious.]


Enough, both of you. Tell me about your lord, and what he hopes to accomplish.


-=-=-


[Meanwhile:

It has been shortly after the defeat of The Wheel of Fortune. Anne has been sent away, but the rumors of the blond vampire in the castle has been more than enough to cause concern from Joseph Joestar, who insists that they investigate. It isn't impossible, after all, that Dio could have moved his resources to a new location.

And so it is that the four crusaders make their way out to a terribly foreboding place. The sun sets, and the castle claws its way up into the sky, undaunted by sense or gravity. It exists by its own rules and its master's.]

❧ the town



Chances are, you've never even heard of the town Silent Peaks. After all, it doesn't really belong anywhere, doesn't even show up on a map if you have one on you. In all appearances, it seems like it's a United States rural town that could, possibly, be in the Northeast of the country, except that it's stuck perpetually in the late 1980s/early 1990s. At the surface, the town might seem a bit rundown, constantly stuck in overcast with fog pooling in almost everywhere, but otherwise normal -- save for the fact that there doesn't even really seem to be anyone native here.

Supplies are spotty but can be looted. Various locations might have working plumbing, but there's also the possibility of it all spitting out black gunk of questionable origins at you. Electricity is a funny thing as most of the outlets don't seem to work well, yet TVs and radios can flick on at a moment's notice. Maybe with something useful or entertaining, or maybe just to hiss nasty white noise at you.

Escape from Silent Peaks is rather impossible at the moment. Exits are either inexplicably blocked off, the streets just abruptly end for no reason, or you'll go in circles in the woods. Whatever this place is, it's decidedly not normal.


❧ the tragic prince awakens

The last thing that Alucard immediately recalls is his father striking him down, a blow so devastating that it just barely missed his heart and nearly tore him in half. No mortal could have ever survived such a wound, of course. Even for him, it'll be a struggle to recover.

Still, he can't say that he quite knows where the fuck he is.

He awakens inside of an ambulance, just parked outside of a building marked as Saint Ailbe's Community Hospital. Not that he has any idea what the mechanism he's inside would be, honestly. It's a struggle, but he forces himself up, clutching his chest, which is still fresh and bleeding. His hand alone isn't nearly enough to keep it from pouring out blood, which drips freely to the ground below him.

Alucard grits his teeth, stumbling out from the machine, so weak he is that he collapses to his hands and knees once he manages out. He hisses at the pain, curling his arms around his chest, trying to keep his blood inside as much as he can. Looking up, he peers at the hospital. The building looks odd to him, built strangely. Not a culture he quite recognizes, but the writing all appears to be in English.

With a shudder, he presses his forehead against the street, swallowing, trying to get the conviction to stand.
