December 5, 2017. 7:34 pm. The past couple of days at the hotel have actually been quite enjoyable. The room is comfy, sizeable, but anything beats a luggage compartment. Heh... So that's what it's like to shower regularly... Anyway, I haven't really made any friends here. Unless you count that kitsune, but I haven't talked to him since the incident in the lobby. But why would I need to? This place is shrouded in mystery and I can't wait to uncover them -"Miss Tulip?" One-One interrupted the ginger girl, "I hate to be that person, but why have you been so hesitant to make any sort of friend here?" "Why would I need to?" Tulip rebutted, taking her hands off of the notebook and summoning her Corgi to her lap. The dog noticed his master's command and followed it aimlessly. "After all, some incident might happen where I lose my memory again. I can write as many descriptions of them as I want, but I sill won't recognize them. And you don't want to see my drawing skills." "Believe me. I have." "Hush!" She got back to writing. and eventually my own. I'll write later.- Tulip Van Helsing."Come on though, you, at least have to know who your neighbors are. You said that you were going to be here a while, so you need to get to know at least some people." After her robot friend's urging, she let out a small growl, picked up her notebook and left the room.
"Hold down the fort now, will you?" Tulip adjusted her glasses and closed the door before receiving an official answer. Okay... now where to go... left or right? She ultimately decided to go right and stood nervously in front of the door. Her hand slowly raised to a fist as she gave a couple of quiet knocks. "Here goes nothing..."

Asriel had been working on his theory board with his anime show. Considering his SpookTube channel had a lot of subs wither it was a theory for his favorite anime show or being part of his brother's, Boomer, experiment for his SpookTube. Asriel opened his notebook and begin to write down, To whom it may concern,
I've been theorizing on my favorite anime Miraculous: Tales of Lady Dragonfly and Knight Black Panther. I somehow wish I could be like Knight Black Panther to defend the innocent and find my Lady. I do puns like him though, I guess I'm very punny. Asriel laughed at his own pun and wished someone was around to laugh at it. He loved his family and sometimes he felt left out of somethings. He then heard the door knocked and panicked. He then constrained on his human for and he looked at the mirror and saw his human form. He then brushed off the dirt from his shirt and opened the door. He then looked up and saw a girl with red hair as he said with a small smile, "Howdy. I'm Asriel."

It turned out her neighbor was around her age, maybe younger. Something about him made the human confused. Why was he by himself? Sure, she was sounding like a hypocrite, but at least she had someone she could consider to be a companion with 'adult' knowledge. There were a few things about him that she found interesting; for example, those little tufts of hair that stuck to the sides that resembled ears. "Heh-howdy..." Tulip awkwardly responded, adjusting her glasses again. "I guess I should tell you my name, huh? I mean, I gotta get to know some of my neighbors on this floor, right? I'm Tulip... Asriel, was it?" She was tempted to get her notebook out, but it was going to be embarrassing and awkward to try to explain. "Sorry... I'm not that good at remembering names... or faces... or anything, to be honest." She awkwardly laughed at her own joke. It wasn't funny, but she had to make light of it somehow...

Asriel tilted his head and said with smile, "That's okay! I do it, too!" He pulled the sleeve of his new neighbor inside where he had all of the franchise of Miraculous: Tales of Lady Dragonfly and Black Knight Panther, which was most of everything his grandfather, mother, or even his brothers saw what was good. Asriel then said with a sheepish smile as he scratched the back of his head, "Sorry. I'm a huge fan of the anime I watch. I'm a huge fanatic of it." Asriel showed his Black Knight Panther notebook with all of his entries of his life and said with a smile, "This is my Lifebook or Life Notebook for short. Has all of my things I write day after day."

Tulip felt a tugging at her sleeve by the boy pulled her into his hotel room, something she really wasn't expecting. "Thanks but no-" she was interrupted by Asriel, who explained the decor. From the looks of it, this "Miraculous Dragonfly" show looked like one of those superhero shows that she may have spotted one of the kids watch on their parent's phone while on the train. After he finished, Tulip looked down at her notebook, almost as if she was ashamed of it. She almost didn't pay attention to the hyper boy's talk of his own. This is my Lifebook or Life Notebook for short. Has all of my things I write day after day. "Eh, kid? I think you got that mixed up... Lifebook is a lot shorter to say..." Tulip chuckled and went onto his bed, flipping back to the first entry that was ever written. "Your name is Tulip Beetleguise Van Helsing. You are 12 years old. Your birthday is November 2nd. Your memory has been tampered with. In case things like this happen again, go back to this journal and reread everything. After all, it's like you to do that, Tulip."She quickly shut it and sighed. "So... tell me more about this Miraculous series... It sounds interesting..."

(insert pinkie pie gasp lol)
Asriel gasped loudly and asked shocked, "You never saw Miraculous: Tales of Lady Dragonfly and Black Knight Panther?!" Asriel then asked terrified while he waved his arms, "What kind of sick twisted home did you grow up in?!" Asriel then put his hand on her mouth as he said scared, "Don't answer that! I don't wanna know...it must be a place of nightmares..." Asriel then begin to dig around for the pilot episode tape however he found a tape that he had never seen before. Asriel said curiously as he picked up the tape, "I don't remember this tape being in my collection. Otherwise it would've been labeled." Asriel then said as he popped in the tape to the VCR whiel he turned on the TV, "If you're wondering why I'm alone. It's because this is my room, Mom said that Grandpa Drac wanted me to have it." Asriel hit play and it showed Dracula at a younger age setting up the camera as he said annoyed, "Darn this device! How do humans make this easy?!"

It seemed that Tulip's lack of knowledge offended the young Asriel. It wasn't her fault that she was stuck on a train for who knows how long... Either way, keeping up with pop culture wasn't on the forefront of her mind, nor did she think it would ever be. As long as the mystery of her past was solved, then she'd have the time to pay attention to cartoons or whatever kids who didn't have their memory wiped were into. "Wait... wait a second... Did you say your grandad was Dracula? As in Count Dracula? Please don't tell me you're a vampire, Asriel..." Well, at least he has a family, Tulip. She sighed and watched the tape go in. Some of the other tapes caught her eye as well. "Climatica... Bother Christmas... The Trash Kraken..." she read to herself before finally eyeing the TV.

Asriel shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh, no. I'm no vampire but...promise you won't freak out." Asriel took a deep breath and turned into his real goat-warlock self as he said with a grin, "I'm adopted by Mavis. She's my mom and I have three brothers too." Asriel then looked back to see young Dracula acting silly as a woman's voice said on the screen, "What are you doing?" Asriel listen to the woman's voice as the camera zoomed in on young Dracula with a raccoon on his belly, "Dracky made a new friend..."

The human let out a sigh of relief that Asriel wasn't a vampire, but his other form was quite cute if she could be honest. Those little tufts of hair in his human form must have been where his ears would have gone. "Wow.. Mavis must be busy handling all three of you. Lucky her..." Tulip joked, but she was actually kind of serious, "at least you have family..." She scooted closer to the goat child and watched the tape together. There was a young man relaxing in the forest with a raccoon on his stomach. "This can only end so well... How did realize a raccoon was there? Surely, he could have been asleep, but still..."

Young Dracula opened his eyes and was startled while the racoon jumped off from him. The woman giggled as the young Dracula looked up to see her. The video static to change the scene as the video played young Dracula playing the ukulele while the woman spoke, "Isn't it remarkable? The world is full of possibilities. Each human and monster has an internally unique experience." Asriel smiled and his eyes gleamed as the woman on the camera continued to talk, "The sites they see...The sounds they hear...The lives they lived...are so complicated and so simple. I can't wait for you to join us..." The camera turned around and it was Mavis's mother, Martha, as she said while looking into the camera then smiling, "Mavis...one day one of us may not be here. I want you to know that know matter what you're both half of us. I know that every day that you love being yourself. That's us! Loving you and being you...!" Martha then lifted the camera and said with a smile, "Because I know you'll become something extraordinary...You're gonna change the world..." Young Dracula yelled off screen while Martha looked at her husband, "Martha! Time to go!" Martha then looked back at the camera and said with a smile, "I love you, Mavi." The camera on the screen shuts off and little did Asriel know he had a tear of the corner of his eye.

For some odd reason, Tulip wasn't a person who would ever consider Count Dracula to be a skilled ukulele player. As the video continued, a few tears started to form in the human's eyes. She quickly blinked them away and continued watching as if nothing had happened. She hugged her knees and glanced back at the door, then to the notebook. She sighed when it ended. "Thanks for showing me this... perhaps you should return it to your mom after I leave. It was probably more for her than me. What was it even doing here?"
Tulip stood up and got back on the bed, writing a few notes in her book. She panted heavily and rapidly. "Asriel... I thought we were gonna be watching some Miraculous Dragon thing, not your home movie..." She let out another painful sigh and stared some more at her book. Seeing the video in full made her think about a couple of things. "I mean," she said to herself a little too loudly, "I don't need any more reminders about how I am. No memories, no family... no friends... what can possibly go wrong there?!?" The human cleaned her glasses that were getting a little foggy.

Asriel pressed the eject button and said sadly, "Sorry. Mom said that my curiosity is the best and worst at times." Asriel then looked through his series collection and laughed as he had found the first episode of his favorite tv show. Asriel then pushed the tape in and the theme song came on. Asriel then sang like his usual self, "I am the Knight~ Hid in the dark~ However she has stole my heart~ When Evil comes, she never yield~ That's when I'm her shield~" After he sang the song, he watch the epic battle of his favorite characters as he then grumbles when their secret identities doesn't know who they really are or that the male protagonist doesn't know female protagonist's feeling as he yelled, "I still get mad at Adam. He doesn't deserve Melody's affection."

"I can tell..." She glanced back at the goat child, then back to the other side of the bed. He didn't listen to her. He didn't listen to her at all. Sure, she didn't want her venting to be as loud as it was, but surely he must have heard her complaints. It didn't matter though. Tulip stared at him a little more. He was just so happy that it made her even more upset. She wanted to just rip the tape from the player, but she knew better than that. Just because she was feeling upset didn't mean that she had to make everyone else's day miserable. She scooted to the edge of the bed and watched some of the cartoon with Asriel. "Perhaps he doesn't connect Dragonfly and Melody as the same person," Tulip theorized, responding to his own quip, "Hear me out. Yes, they look alike and anyone with a hint of logic can associate their faces with the heroes, but Melody and Dragonfly's personalities are practically opposites of each other. No one would suspect someone klutzy and socially-awkward to be a confident superhero."

The episode ended and Asriel said with a smile, "You're the first person who ever said that to me." Asriel then got off from the bed and ejected the tape as he said with a frown, "I don't know who my real family is. I don't know if they look like me or if they even cared for me at all." Asriel opened his theory journal to find out his origins and said dejected, "Every book of monster I've read, undead, dead, or even updated, I can't seem to find where my kind is. One day, I wanna go out there and find my family." Asriel then closed his journal and said sadly, "However it would mean leaving mom. I don't wanna make her sad or the rest of family knowing that I wanna leave just to see who my real family is." Asriel didn't know what to do at that point wither or not he would leave his home to find his origins.

Tulip heard his story and chuckled. "As I've said times before, at least you have a backup family if you can't find your real one, kiddo." The human debated with herself whether she wanted to share after her... acquaintance had been open with her, for seemingly no reason. "Picture this," she brought out her book and flipped through it, "you wake up in a strange place - let's say, a train car- without knowing your name, why you're there, who your family is... anything really. All of it's spelled out in an entry nicely written for you in a cute little notebook that essentially makes a game out of your search for answers. Don't get me wrong, I love puzzles, but this is one's a little too risky. Every answer I get brings more questions."
