Mew and the Battle of 1999, Guest staring Mentat

Mew

You dream with the half awareness that it is a dream.
For some reason you have a whip
You are walking up stairs covered with red carpet. There is no rails and you are over a gothic castle. You enter a building floating in the air and find yourself in a dineing room. You walk past it and enter a throne room with a huge villainous regal looking man lazing on the throne drinking a red liquid.

You find yourself saying
"Die Monster! You do not belong in this world!"

The Monster replies
"It is not be my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by...Humans...who wished to pay me tribute!"

You reply
"Tribute!?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!"

The monster thoughtfully replies
"Perhaps the same could be said of all religions..."

You say
"Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!"

The Monster furiously replies
"What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets!"
He discards the glass in your general direction.
"But enough talk, HAVE AT YOU!!!"

You brandish your whip then you hear a massive horse galloping. Then A hoof bursts through the ceiling

You are coming to on a cold cobblestone floor. You hear a horse galloping towards you.
You also hear the sound of gunfire and battle in the distance.

--------------------------------
Mentat

You have had a frustrating few worlds. After freeing an idiot from his imposed restraining collar and encountering him in the next world before straining yourself to much and versing out. in the next world you experimented with making an objectively perfect rubber bouncing ball. This destroyed the world. But you fixed it by contacting your past self and spawning an alternate timeline. Just when you though you where clear, an angel showed up without the "Fear Not". He brought your before the divine court. You where convicted and the court placed a Fourfold Divine Seal on you. As an additional punishment. They obliterated your body completely. Forcing you to be born again. Once you where out of solitary confinement again, You fount that You where the son of a Human Vindicare Assassin LIIVI and the Eldarin Farseer Taldeer. You also has a sister named Lofn.

The world was a strange mix of Warhammer 40K and DnD Spelljammer and Planescape. Kingslayer was stolen and you died trying to get it back

The Next world Everyone was insanely strong but refused to use lethal force. They fought with what they called Danmaku. It was Bullet Hell. You where forced to be the butler for a pair of Vampire sisters that where turned way to young. Surprisingly enough that Idiot showed up in the Service of the Border Witch. And he was calmer and used it magic more thoughtfully than before. Along with branching out with his enlightenment. So he was less of an idiot. Although he seemed to really enjoy their method of play fighting.

There was an incident with the Border Witch that was the last straw with you. You fought your way to her. Only being slowed down by the Idiot. His comment was that 'You are taking this far to seriously. I know they wronged you. But my Oath compels me to Defend her life. I'm sorry Ed.' Surprisingly enough. He didn't use his familiars or souls as he calls them. He was a tough fight but you killed him. When you got to the Border Witch, Her and her familiar where angry. That fight was considerably shorter. And you died under their combined might.

You flow through the Blind Eternities between worlds. Catching fleeting images of world you pass. You see a somewhat familiar looking Gothic Castle.

You pop into existence near a Gatehouse of a castle. the Drawbridge is down and there is a woman laying in the middle of the cobblestone floor. You feel that she is a verser. There is a man on a horse racing towards the drawbridge. There is a cobblestone path to the castle and it is flanked by hedge mazes. You feel an equipment vector towards the castle.
You also hear the sound of gunfire and battle in the distance. It is currently late afternoon.

"Another world, another fight." Mentat growled these words out. He rolled his eyes in irritation upon materializing. He grabbed the prone woman up and moved them both away from the horseman's path. "Time to move. Horse coming."

He tried to get a feel for what this world would allow. He didn't think he had time for divinations, though - this world felt too hot for patient actions.

You pick up and move the woman out of the way. she seems to be coming to. She must be new to arrive unconscious like that. Fortunately Your Fancy Tailored Suit as been cut to allow for remarkable freedom of movement.

As the man approaches on horseback, the drawbridge starts to rise up. The Horse leaps and makes it in before it is too high. The man stops the horse about twenty feet away then turn around and walks it to about ten feet from you.

He is a young noble looking man that appears to be about 20 years old. He is wearing blue jeans and a shirt with a leather duster over that. You see an interesting looking whip on his right side. You sense alchemical magic from it along with something else twisted against itself.

You also sense a great concentration of Primordial Chaos coming from the Castle.

The sky is also filled with bats.

The man asks you.
"Why are you here at Dracula's Castle? I saw you and that woman teleport in. Are you Magicians with the Church?"

The dizziness and pain subside as the pounding I hear is slowly processed from what I assume to be a heart beat to the reality of a rapidly approaching carriage. A fact I never get the chance to react to as I'm quickly lifted off my feet by.... Ed. "Oh, Honey I just had the craziest dream and then it was followed by another one. First I woke up in New York and my phone kept intersepting calls from Criminals. So I went to stop their heist and I got this sword with a soldier's ghost from the cival war... stuck in it." I slow down as I realize I still have the sword. As my brain is whirling with what this means I'm distracted by something completely different. "Ed, you're wearing a suit. You look good by the way."

Mentat glanced over to Mew, muttering. "New bloods."

The fact she knew his old name didn't escape his attention, but it was secondary priority when dealing with magical whip knights whom he suspected he might be passingly familiar with.

And thankfully, the knight had asked a question that was worded just well enough to leave him a crack to go through without having to technically lie.

"Yes, I am a magician with the church." He was a magician, and he was a member of a church. Whether these things meant the same thing or not to this man was up for debate, but he wasn't interested in defying an armed man's expectations until he had more information and was on better footing.

The Man's eyebrows raise at Mew's words but lower slightly with Mentat's mentions of 'New Bloods'.

He continues.
"I see... I wasn't expecting help. The Vatican said that they couldn't spare anyone for the operation inside the Castle. I'm glad they found enough people to protect those Japanese priests from the Hakuba shrine and contain Dracula's forces outside until the Eclipse tomorrow. I am Julius Belmont. What is your name?"

As I gain my own shaky footing, "Ah, my friends call me Mew." Its clear by the way I'm talking that I'm still a little out of it as it doesn't even occur to me to introduce Ed.

For clarification we... died?

I think?

But we're somewhere else.

And had a nice Caslevania dream to boot.

Speaking of did he just say his name was Belmont.

DON'T YOU DARE bring your logic into this awesome dream.

Are you really going to ignore the SHEAR LEVEL of PAIN we felt just a few seconds ago?

Well... My evidence contradicts yours. We still have the sword and Ed is in a nicer suit than we could ever afford.

It does look very nice.

Fine, I can't argue against that, but something screwy is going on. We have been asleep too long and that gunshot hurt far more than any cramp ever could.

Well, for now lets just follow Ed's lead. We can agree on that right?

Fine.

We can.

"Well, there are churches outside of Catholicism, genius. I work for one of them." He looked up and around. "Bats in the sky, the geomancy screams 'evil'...yeah. I'm not going to pretend to know why an old Romanian warlord is in Japan, but I know why I'm here. Given you are a Belmont, you are here for one reason. What would help you with that?"

He debated telling him what he would normally tell this man, and split the difference.  "And my working name is Mentat. Ed's reserved for formalities."

He was still registering this person who knew his name. Mew...Pokemon fangirl? Probably another alias.

Julius's eyebrows raise at Mew calling herself Mew. and raise further at Mentat's snark.

"True, There are other Churches besides the Catholics But most of them don't know about the unseen world And most wouldn't know about the Belmont's. And we are currently in Romainia, They brought the Japanese priests here to help with a ritual to Seal Dracula's Castle into the Eclipse tomorrow.

... I need to make it to the Castle Keep and defeat Dracula just before the eclipse tomorrow.
We where expecting additional difficulties beyond His normal resurrections.
A magician would be a great help."

"The Catholics have the sense to work with the Shinto priesthood to save them from the devil they both hate?" Mentat was smiling. "That's lovely to hear."

"So, you need a magician to do the impossible and see the invisible, to help you fight the power. I got that, but that doesn't tell me what you want me to actually do or not do. I'm not skilled enough to bind him, even with all this untapped dark and primal power, and I can't force enough holy power through to just sunlight him and make him go away."

What he wasn't going to share was that his magic was likely very attuned to this place. This castle would make a powerful memory to catalyze magic with...he'd just have to be careful what he did with it. This type of power was no one's ally.

"I have to admit that is a little out of character for them." I say more or less to no one in particular, I then lower my voice to a whisper and obscure my mouth so Julius can't attempt to read my lips. "I'm a little confused, I thought you only went by Mentat online. This has got to be up there in the running for strangest dream. What is going on, have I been watching too many Castlevania play-throughs or something?"

Julius just stairs flatly at both of your comment's about the Catholic Church. Then sighs as he realizes you have a point.

"Through an previous encounter with Castle Dracula in 1944. Charlotte Aulin reverse engineered the technique through with the Vampire Brauner was stealing Castle Dracula's Chaotic power. She figured out a way to seal Dracula's Castle, The symbol of Dracula's power into the Eclipse tomorrow using a combination of Western and Eastern Magic. Allowing us to finally put him to rest permanently.

The plan is to go throughout the Castle and find it's Geomantic Nexuses, Kill the Strong monster that inevitably resides in those places and then inscribe a magic circle to siphon off the Castle's power. Then Activate them while I Fight Dracula."

Mentat thinks for a moment, both on Julius's words and Mew's. The plan, based on his understanding of the arcane, seem solid enough. He started with Mew, though. "I had the same response once, when I was in your position. This is real enough. Get your head on the ground, or you won't be in this world for much longer."

He didn't look at Julius, but was now addressing his ideas. "So, you intend to forcibly take arcane control of the castle, kill its master, and use old-fashioned circle magic to...seal it into an eclipse, if I understand you? And it sounds as if the master has to die, then a ritual must be concluded at the power points of the castle at the height of the eclipse before the castle returns back to the other side."

He shrugged. "I've encountered stranger ideas. You have a location and a target in mind?"

"That is correct as far as I understand. The Belnades will come in later to handle the magic.
Alucard and I where to go throughout the Castle to search and destroy the monsters at the Geomantic Nexuses.

Belnades said something about the circles being linked through sympathy. So she only had to perform the ritual at one point."

He shrugs

"Still we are going all out. We are even planing on sealing the Vampire Killer within the Castle to weaken the Castle's power further.

As for now, My plan is search and destroy."

This was strange, Ed was cold in his dealings with me. I needed a moment to talk to him without Julius, but first "You mentioned an Alucard, but where is he? Is he coming in through another entrance or already inside?" She thought a moment, and went for the most direct route for getting alone with Ed. "Would you mind giving us one moment? I need to have a word in private before we join you inside."

Julius responds.
"Alucard made it in this morning.He should be ahead scouting and setting up the sanctuaries.
Go ahead with your talk. I'll take care of the skeletons in the gate house."

He enter's the northern gatehouse. From the position of the sun you think you are on the western side of the castle.

Mentat waited until he felt certain Julius was out of earshot. There wasn't much that got past that particular man - that was the impression he had gotten. He glared after Julius irritably. "The man's likely convinced we are vampires or cultists. Fantastic."

Mentat turned to look at Mew with an expression of unmasked irritation. "I'm guessing I have an alternate who is your husband, and you are from a world distressingly similar to my own native world based on how much information you have that happens to be extremely accurate about me."

"I'm married as far as I'm concerned, and my spouse is not you."
He sighed, placing a hand to his forehead. "How many worlds have you seen? Let's start there."

"Okay, that was a bit much." Mentat sighed as he realized he needed to dial the passive anger back a bit. He started speaking slowly and articulately. "We will start slowly. Not counting your world of origin, how many worlds have you been to?"

He kept an eye on the skies. He didn't need an attack breaking up something like this.

I set aside my emotional distress and start rubbing my temples as well as adjust my glasses with the same motion. "With the presumed criteria... as far as I can tell two." I stop rubbing my temple and accentuate the two with the appropriate gesture. The change in topic allows me to regain a level of both composure and awareness to my mannerisms.

"Okay, two. On my end, hundreds." He made sure the battle also wasn't sounding like it was coming closer. "This is not a short-term journey, and you are not dreaming. This is actually happening, and your state is one of unending journey. You will never biologically age, and death is just a door to another world. There will be no trace of you save the results of your deeds."

"Wherever you are from, put it in the past. I doubt you will ever go back." He had no glasses, oddly enough - a detail that certainly contrasted with Mew's memories. "Are you with me so far?"

"You're asking me to forget ou-r" I stop myself remembering that the Ed, No, Mentat, infront of me is not the Ed I am married to. "MY kids." The extra emphasis erupts as much a correction as anything else. It is now that I am truly able to mentally step back and appreciate the differences between my Ed and Mentat. Not the cloths necessarily but mannerisms, hairstyles, the way they project themselves. But for now back to the matter at hand "If what you are saying is multiverse theory confirmed, then yes I understand. And while we are on that, are you saying that it is impossible for me to return or so improbable that it may as well be?
