Suddenly there was a cloud of purple smoke, and, after a pause, a distinctive laugh emanating from its center.
"One vampire!" the voice cried with a ridiculous accent. "Two vampires! Three, three vampires, ah-ah!"
As the smoke cleared, what can only be described as a purple plush vampire in a green cape stood beaming at them. Naturally, as the Count, he could be found wherever vampires could. Especially castles.
He fixed unblinking eyes on Yager, cocking his head.
"One! One..." He trailed off, at a loss.

With a very startled sound that might be described as a girlish scream, though he'd rather not have it, Yager did indeed leap into Krolock's arms.
It wasn't that he was scared... no, of course not. He was a Fearless Vampire Kill... well, hunter.
It was just... there was the smoke, the laughter... not to mention the accent.
"Does it sparkle?! Kill it! Kill it!" He yelled as he attempted to hide his face in the vampire's neck and hair.

Krolock stood there blinking, completely at a loss at this turn of events. His first thought was that he was, perhaps, dreaming. But his dreams were usually either quite mundane or about the past...never anything quite so ridiculous. His second thought was that this was some sort of way for someone to get back at him for some imagined slight, though he couldn't for the unlife of him figure out what. Finally, he turned and set Yager on his feet, perhaps a bit roughly, before swirling his cape in a dramatic fashion and crossing his arms.
"How did...you...get in here?" He'd faltered at talking to a...purple...something...vampire, but preservered.

The Count managed to wrest his attention from the non-vampire, non-human, and focused on the other count.
"I'm the Count!" he announced happily, as if this explained everything.

Yager, who had by now recovered from his little episode, looked rather indignant at that statement.
"No, he's the count," the vampire hunter stated pointedly, gesturing to Krolock.
He then stared at the purple thing some more. Well, at least it didn't sparkle, but still... "You... I don't even know what you are."
Yager looked to both Krolock and Buffy for help on this one. Meanwhile, he began rooting through his pockets for something to kill the... thing.

Buffy's hand had affixed itself to her mouth as soon as she'd recognized the Count, and she'd been watching the ensuing scene with growing mirth.
Finally, she couldn't help it.
She burst out laughing, gales of laughter, tears pricking her eyes as she sought to catch her breath.
"Oh my god," she wheezed, "the Count!"
At his name, the Muppet beamed at her. "One! One pretty girl, ah-ah!"

Are we going insane? Yager asked himself, rather slowly.
Or maybe it's just me... yes, that's it... something happened to me that would lead to insanity, then Krolock and Buffy drank my blood and they got it too!

Krolock would've agreed with Yager at this--that he may be going crazy.
"Ah...yes."
He glanced at Buffy.
"You know this, er, vampire?"

Yager slowly edged towards Krolock, standing close to the vampire lord seemed to be the safest place right now.
"That's a vampire?" he whispered. "It's purple!"

The purple thing cocked its curiously flat head at Yager.
"Do not judge me by the color of my... my color!" he said sternly. "Sternly" of course being relative. "Monsters come in all shapes and sizes! Diversity is beautiful!"

"Um," Buffy said. "Sort of. We've never met. But I've... heard of him."
The fact that he was here, now, was hardly as ridiculous as anything else that had happened to her. She and Spike had speculated about this place. Everything else was gone wonky.
"I don't know if he's dangerous," she continued. "But he likes to count things."

"Count things?" Ah, now there was a superstition he hadn't heard tell of in ages.
He glanced around the library.
"Well, there are plenty of books to count."

"He doesn't... count things out loud, does he?"
Yager looked around the room... nobody would be able to maintain his or her sanity in the library for ages to come should all these books be counted.

But the Count was already off and running. Or counting, as it were. His face lighting up with delight, he raced to the shelf on the far left, and started counting the books. Out loud. Pausing between each one.
It was something of a compulsion with him, but it was such a strong one that he really wasn't aware that it wasted a lot of time.

Yager shot Krolock a look normally quite exclusive to people who'd known each other for a lot longer than they had.
It said, in rather big lettering: 'Oh, now you've done it...'
