Unlike most businesses, after nightfall is when things really begin to pick up at Hellsing. Deliveries from contacts who can't make the trip during the day, more agents coming and going, the occasional grudging visit from something someone didn't quite kill That One Time - be it a mundane evening or the odd night when everything goes completely crazy, the hours cast in the dark are always busier than the ones in the light.

It's why Integra is presently out of her office and standing in the middle of the street in front of the hall itself, smoking a cigarette and checking out the enormous acid-like circular burn left on the pavement with two other employees. While it's certainly not immediately professional to be rubbernecking at the damage done by some godawful thing that's been brought in, she'd had to come out anyway to lend a hand in damage control - there's still gore and ichor on her boots, splattered on her shirt and trousers.

It's not such an uncommon sight.

Mina had been restless for sunset. Her sleep was fitful, doubtlessly due to the increasingly frequent dreams she had been suffering about Tom. It was to weep. She had been so certain she was past nightmares now, having, on occasion, become one herself. So much for that.

As soon as she was awake and alert, Mina dressed in her pin-striped suit with the purple button down and tie. Carelessly throwing on her fedora, she headed up the stairs and out the door of the inn, not bothering to look back. Quickly, she consulted the map the strange creature at the employment office had given her, but she put it away after. It was always dangerous to look like a foreigner.

Making her way through the city, Mina allowed her mind to wander. She was still trying to sort out so many things. In fact, Baedal was the least complicated matter. All she needed to know was that she was here and here for a good long while. That meant nothing more than the basics of coming to any new city; finding a job, finding friends, determining who was the Prince, maintaining the Masquerade (even if it sometimes felt like there was none here).

Mina was just starting to allow herself to think about the dreams when she noticed the hullabaloo happening out on the street. A glance up told her she had arrived at the proper address.

Wonderful. Bloody wonderful.
