And be it gash or gold it will not come again in this identical guise. [OPEN]

Who: Sebastian and YOU? (Also, Podder and Sol.)
What: Part open post, part wizard talk.
Where: The open post can be for anywhere in Hellsing Guild House or Baedal.
When: Newdi
Notes: I've been so slow about posting this open thread. *sob*
Warnings: None, yet.

Always adaptable, Sebastian has found it easy to settle into life in Baedal. There are times when he thinks it's the best of both worlds: he doesn't need to lie about his abilities (or lack thereof) and he's able to do useful, constructive things. Most of his days are filled with rebuilding and repairing the Hellsing Guild Hall and the evenings walking through the city or working through Malfoy's never ending reading list. It's not an ideal existence, but for as long as he's in exile from Britain it's the best he can hope for.

"They have different specialties," Nazca allows, "but they generally make useful or sometimes decorative pieces. Generally out of clockwork, though some of them vary their tools. A good Verrari clock will tell you everything but the moment of your death, and they're working on that."

Sebastian pauses, considering his next words before continuing, "I once knew a family that had a clock with a hand for each child and it would tell their mother where they all were at any given moment. Something like that?"

He may be taking her comment about the moment of one's death a little too literally.

She look a bit bemused at that. "In seriousness?" She knows about magic, knows too well for her own comfort, but it's not where her mind jumps first; she's trying to figure out how that could work.
