That is absolutely a road I don't wish to go down. Etymology is not something I follow easily, and I'm absolutely in no place to comment on it.

[A topic best left behind for more interesting ones. Alucard is quiet as he gets his answer, nodding along.]

A grander continuity, rather than one relegate to specific time and place. That's new to my ears, although the idea of creatures attacking the human world isn't. Is it only those particular mythological elements though, or are there competing pantheons?

[He doesn't like gods at the best of times, but at least these ones aren't here to make trouble.

As far as he knows.

Thank god for showing his ass about dumber stuff.]
