[ The feed clicks on, showing one Integra Hellsing sitting in what... would appear to be her apartment. She doesn't seem to be quite as roughed up as she had been when she first arrived; granted, she's bruised and scraped up, but she looks overall better.

She's sipping at a small cup of tea; it certainly isn't what Walter, her poor, dear lost Walter would have made, but this is something she'll have to get used to regardless. ]

I suppose it's about time that I get around to introducing myself. My name is Sir Integra Hellsing. I come from England, and before anyone questions the 'Sir', I am a knight under Her Majesty the Queen. Like I have heard a few others state, I, too, am a hunter of monsters.

[ She lights up a cigar, her neutral mask never slipping. This is her last one... she's going to have to go out and find something similar, much to her horror. ]

I'm not going to ask if anyone from my own home world has arrived. I believe I already know the answer to that. Instead, I want to offer something. Protection, you could say, from things that go bump in the night... if I am to be stuck here for however long, then it is my duty to offer as much protection to all of you as I possibly can give. If the time or need arises, don't hesitate to contact me.

[That wasn't a word he'd been expecting to hear. Sure, he'd heard of the person who'd made Hellsing, but he'd never met them himself; just Ianto who'd, apparently, taken it over.]

Did you say Hellsing?

Video

[integra_hellsing]

I did. Dare I ask who you are?

[ The heiress arches a brow, moving to take a long, calming drag off her beloved cancer stick. ]

Locke Cole. Don't think you know me. Do you run a...organization that protects people from supernatural threats?

[It was perfectly possible the decision to open such a place was made after the other Integra arrived in Bete Noire, but there was a chance it was just a continuation. He'd never really asked.

And, to be fair, he didn't really know what he was hoping to get out of asking, but he felt like he needed to know.]

[integra_hellsing]

You are correct, I've got not a clue as to who you are. That name does not sound familiar.

[ Integra blinks, and then her eyes narrow slightly. She leans back in her seat, and the light catches the lenses of her glasses enough to where it casts an eerie glare across them, hiding her gaze. ]

I do. How did you know about that, Mr. Cole?

[kings_thief]

[He hesitates a moment, this subject was always tricky, but he's relieved to know it, either way.]

This...might sound funny, but I promise I'm not lying to you. This isn't the first world I've been to, this is the third, actually. The one I came from before, the one I was pulled from, it was a city called Bete Noire.

There was a Hellsing group there too; apparently, started by a different version of you a long time ago. I worked for it.

[ Her expression doesn't change, except for the way a brow arches up ever so slightly. ]

Considering everything, that isn't all that hard to believe, really. Well, I suppose that explains that. It's a good thing to know, assuming I decide to do the very same thing here.

[kings_thief]

If you do decide to start it here, I'll be more than happy to offer my support.

[He smirks a little.]

I got used to it, and there's nothing really similar here. Plus, I've still got my I.D.

[integra_hellsing]

Considering some of the stories I've heard, more than likely once I get my bearings, I will probably do just that. Thank you.

[ She finishes her cigar, peering at it for a brief moment -- it is her last, after all -- and finally she snubs it out in an ashtray. ]

How convenient.

A girl with an equally neutral face appears.

"If its not too much to ask, are you related in any way to Abraham Van Helsing?"

[video]

[integra_hellsing]

A blonde brow arches up, and Integra leans back in her seat, somewhat amused. Well, this one's a smart one... that's good.

"Yes. Doctor van Helsing was my grandfather. That was a very good guess, my dear."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I read a story with him in it when I was a little girl. It was one of the few literary works I was exposed to that weren't mathematical or scientific in nature. Grandfather, does that mean you are from the late 20th century?"

[video]

[integra_hellsing]

"Would that story happen to be Dracula?" she asked nonchalantly, taking another sip of her tea. "I am from the year 1999... my grandfather has been dead for quite some time."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Yes, that would be the story. Given your comment about monster hunting I figured the odds of there being a link were highly probable."

[video]

[integra_hellsing]

"Yes, you were correct in assuming such. The monsters I hunt are ghouls and demons... but my specialty is the vampire."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I have virtually no data on any such creatures, but at least the demons seem to be very common place here so I've had Omoikane record data on them when possible."

"Oh. I'm Ruri. Hoshino Ruri. Captain of the Battleship Nadesico."

[video]

[integra_hellsing]

"Is that so?" THAT was a lovely bit of information. No vampires... that was a good thing, of course, considering where she had just come from. Not that it would give her any time to relax, naturally; the place seemed to be filled with demons.

"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Captain."

[sky_child]

If you want to help protect people you should talk to the police force here.

[ video ]

[integra_hellsing]

Ah, that would be a lovely idea... except I don't play well with others. Is there a military, by any chance, that you know of?

[Video]

[whitedarklord]

[Oh hi, Integra, have a familiar face.]

Good to see you're feeling better.

[Video]

[integra_hellsing]

[ Oh hey there, Soma. Sup. ]

Thank you. How have you been faring? Well, I hope?

[Video]

[whitedarklord]

I'm fine; I'm used to holding my own.

[He paused a moment, tilting his head curiously.]

...would you like assistance in handing out that protection?

[Video]

[integra_hellsing]

Well, that's a good thing then, I suppose.

[ And a fortunate one. Integra is simply used to having back up... and being able to give orders. This whole being alone thing is something new, something she's not sure she really appreciates.

A thin brow arches. It's obvious she hadn't been expecting him to offer. ]

That would be nice, yes, if you are willing... help is always good to have.

[Video]

[whitedarklord]

I don't mind. I can't imagine just working a retail job while being here.

[Because seriously, after everything he went through, just saying, "Do you want fries with that?" for a living seemed really lame.]

Re: [Video]

[integra_hellsing]

No, I can tell... you don't seem the type of person to enjoy such a job.

[ That's definitely something she can relate to, and something that she absolutely REFUSES to ever. Ever. Do. Her title may mean nothing here, but she was born into nobility and like hell she was going to just let that go even in this place. ]

At home, I had an organization. It was dedicated to protecting Church, Country, and Crown from the forces of darkness. The title given to me was not earned, but rather given to me simply because of my bloodline. I had money to fund such things, and more than one ace up my sleeve... and yet here, I've got nothing of the sort. I've no idea how I'm going to do this, really.

[Video]

[whitedarklord]

Sounds rough, but I can sort of understand. I didn't exactly volunteer for what I had to do on my world.

[He paused, an almost smile coming to his face.]

I don't know what kind of help you had before, but I'll do my best.
