How many goodly creatures are there here! :: GAME OPENER

Welcome to Baedal.

These are the first words newcomers hear when the door opens and they are invited into their new world. Some fuss, some fight, some need time before they have the courage to step outside. Others, shell-shocked or jaded, go quietly along with the proceedings.

They are given brief instructions; a repeat of what's described in the pamphlet and a door key.

Please stay in your room. There will be dinner soon.

It's been almost a day for some. For others, only an hour's wait. The latest newcomer is lead straight from the arrival room to the dining hall where candles and lanterns have been set out to compensate for failing electricity. (Those who have been here longer explain about rolling blackouts.) The food, however, is warm, varied and plentiful. Seating is open, and less conventional chair are available to those who need them.

There are many strange faces around the table, the majority of these recent arrivals. The proprietor of the Valhalla Inn is here, as is some of her staff. The Sheriff of Mog Hill is introduced, his function detailed. The reason for the dinner is explained:

It's a celebration. A new cohort has finally been officiated; CeidaryBlue523. Your cohort. Please. Introduce yourself. Mingle. Get to know your fellows, they will be your brothers and sisters for as long as you live in this city.

"Alisa." Her handshake is stronger than you'd think, and without hesitation – she's curious, but not uncomfortable with his appearance. (She doesn't have room to judge, really. Just because she looks normal doesn't mean she is.)

Back to the books, she adds, "With the way they're snatching up people, I can imagine. At least we'll have variety, right?"

"Nice to meet you, Alisa." Given his own unusual strength, Hellboy doesn't always notice others' unless it's being directly applied to throwing him around.

"Depending on how long we're here, we may need it. For my part, the books that could have been will be neat, but I figure I'll eventually be more interested in the local stuff. Always a good idea to learn the local culture, after all."
