Could you take me to England by any chance? I was on a ship heading to London, but she unexpectedly malfunctioned. She will have to be repaired and who knows how long that will take. |
| 2 |
If you have no place on your ship, I will understand. Maybe you could try to help repair the problem on my ship. As I understand, the steam engine is not working. |
| 3 |
Oh, so you can take me on your ship? That’s great! My fiancée must be already worried to death. I should have been home a long time ago. I just need a little food and nothing else. |
| 4 |
I am Jonathan Harker, a solicitor from London. I will join you in a moment. Let me just check how I look. I haven’t had the chance to see myself in a mirror since I left that terrible place. |
| 5 |
I was going to meet a client in Eastern Europe but I never would have guessed what horrors were waiting there for me. I am glad I escaped with my life. Everything else I left there. |
| 6 |
I promise, once we arrive in England, I will pay you for the voyage. And I will add a tip for free. The cargo from my original ship needs to be in England soon. They will pay you well for delivering it. |
| 7 |
I told you it was a good deal. Send your sailors for the cargo and let’s hurry to England. My sweet Mina is already waiting for me. |
| 8 |
You are curious about what happened to me, I can tell. But I am afraid you would not believe me even if I told you. I need a drink before I venture into this dark story. |
| 9 |
I see you guessed the contents of my story. But how could it be? Did you experience something similar? By the way, I hope there is tomato juice inside this drink. |
| 10 |
I escaped that cursed castle only with lady luck by my side. I never carried weapons with me but now I see how that could be useful. But who knows if weapons can even hurt such monsters. |
| 11 |
Will you stay here for some time? I will be back as quickly as I can with the money for you. You can do some business in the city while you wait. The fish are always in demand. |
| 12 |
I can’t believe this. I saw that monster here in London. How can it be? My Mina is here, what if something happens to her with that monster around. Let’s find someone who can help us. |
| 13 |
Mr. Van Helsing will help us? Did he give you some advice on how to defend ourselves against that monster? I must have a way to protect Mina. |
| 14 |
I feel safer now. Still, I hope Mr. Van Helsing will take care of it. I am no fighter, just a simple clerk. Can you send some men to watch our house? |
| 15 |
Is the monster gone? You know what is the worst? He could have infected countless others by now. His minions could be outside our windows right now. We need big walls around the house. |
| 16 |
Mina’s best friend, Lucy, is dead. There were bite marks on her neck. This was Count Dracula, no doubt. Van Helsing must have failed. We need to prepare for the worst. |
| 17 |
I have made some research, captain. We need to get two special knives. One will go into his heart and the other across his neck. But we must do this before sunset to get rid of the monster. |
| 18 |
Here is a list of things we could use in our fight. I will leave the shopping to you. In the meantime, I will find the creature’s hiding place. |
| 19 |
I am just a clerk and you are just a captain, but together we can do this. And we still have your fearless crew. We will save Mina and the whole city! |
| 20 |
We did it, captain! Dracula is dead and now we can live without fear. Let’s celebrate this properly. I feel like having a proper bloody steak or maybe some sushi. How about you? |
| Final |
Thank you and goodbye, captain! Ah, please take this infernal garlic with you. Van Helsing must have left it here but I can't stand the stench of it. |
