About midday, a call goes out on the Hellsing filter from Dean, setting this thing up.

By mid-afternoon, with help, there are a couple of grills going, crabs on the boil, tables lined up in the grass behind the guild hall. There's meat, there's shellfish, there's vegetables and side dishes. There's even some wine and beer.

Hello, Hellsing. Come meet and greet your fellow operatives.

Dean remembers what it was like when he and Sammy got pulled out of their own life and dumped into the last place. How in-over-his-head he felt, how hard it was to adjust. He's not the best at offering reassurance ever but he feels like he ought to try.

Places like these, they aren't places where you see a lot of people smiling like this. Not often and if you somehow manage to hang onto it the place might try to batter it out of you. He'd hate to see that.

"Look, Integra wouldn't have hired you if she didn't think you had the goods," he says. "You can cut it. Just try to take things one at a time if you can. It'll all make some kinda sense eventually."

"You're right." Shiori nods, sipping her drink. "As overwhelming as it is, it's kind of nice at the same time." She pauses, choosing her next words carefully. "With so many fantastic things around, I think it feels nice to not feel like the only one." Have some more smiles, Dean.

"Where are you from?" she asks, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs. "Are you American?" As obvious as it might seem, Shiori has already met some people that defy explanation.
