Fountain Arrival
It's one thing to know how feeble humans are, and another to suddenly be as weak as one. It actually takes a couple tries to realize he somehow can't get himself out of the water without real effort, his waterlogged hair and clothes weighing him down.

Once out, he's slumped back against the side of the fountain, some of the falling snow sticking to damp hair, trying to sort out not just the weakness but the odd clothing. Alucard ends up talking to himself as he tries to puzzle this all out, grabbing what looks like a dry towel off the side of the fountain. "Was I expected, then? Perhaps this isn't something I can blame on father's castle after all..."

"Underground...it's been mentioned before. Is the entrance nearby?" Of course his immediate response is to demand information. He never quite learned manners.

"I am used to...a certain level of 'crazy shit' as you are calling it. However, this in particular is a first. Being informed that I'm essentially a doppelganger doesn't help with the novelty." He means clone. Someone told him straight up, and if anything it makes him more suspicious of the whole situation. Nothing he knows can transfer memories like this, so he must be the original.

"The underwater one I think is pretty close. It means swimming but I guess it's a shitton faster." Desmond plans on going eventually, but he said maybe he'd wait on Lucy. He's not sure what to make of any of it, but he's been in a scientific experiment before, so this was mostly more of the same.

"Oh, the clone theory? Yeah I heard that was tossed around." Desmond shrugs. "It's just a thought people have because of shit down in the bunker, it's not proven to be real. Some other things counter it, if you ask me." He drums his fingers on the top of his arm. "A friend of mine came through gravely injured, from where she'd just been in the timeline." After he stabbed her, but that's not something he's going to throw out there. "I guess they could clone her and then stab her, but it doesn't seem likely. There's another thing I heard that there's a multiverse and people are just like grabbed and shit?" He's not an expert. He just listens.

"Perhaps I should pay it a visit. See what I can find." His is a more chemistry type of science than anything, but he has to be able to find something. He doesn't know the other science types here yet and needs to check for himself. He doesn't trust them yet to analyze it correctly.

"I see. This is reassuring, then. I would hate to not be...myself. Or for another to have access to my accursed bloodline." Generally, using accursed because telling people his bloodline is actually cursed might not buy him any favors.

"Yeah it's uhhh, let's see. The village in the north, you go to the lake up there, there's a pod deck. I think people have been leaving a little boat there. If not you'll have to swim, it's not far in though. It'll take you quick." Desmond knows where things are and what they do, but he hasn't always then taken the next steps. He's curious, but he also isn't sure he really cares why things are happening to them. It's not like knowing is going to change anything for him.

"I mean, don't take my word for it, but there's some scientists here and no one's for sure said they know what's going on. Just endless speculation. The clones kind of make sense just because of people losing their powers and getting new ones, that's sort of like ... how the fuck." He uses very colorful language, it's just vernacular for him. "But it doesn't really add up. How do they get our brains and memories and personalities if we're just bodies?" He shrugs. "What do you mean by accursed bloodline?"
