I think it is actually an import from Thorne - there are little cards that let one know. I'd have to check to be sure.
[They keep speaking and running into bad moods, don't they? Alucard can accept that he has few social graces, and that Thorne's Summoned make it a little worse. Grudges endure. He's his father's son in that way.
The question itself is simple though, it comes with a shrug.]
There's little weight to it, in truth. Thorne originally put a portion of Summoned in their dungeons when they first began experimenting with the concept, without consideration of how poor an idea that might be. I wasn't in a good place when they did so, and so a dungeon helped nothing. Neither did forced manual labor or almost having to witness an execution for the high crime of...I can't even recall anymore. It was a show of power, so far as I can tell.
[Alucard's tone is a careful neutral statement of facts, the same way he has come to relay the death of his mother and what followed after. A sad series of events, nothing more. An emotionless recitation of history.]
