my life is trapped in these lines, that's why i'm packing these nines

[suninhades]

Who: Princess Nuala, Integra Hellsing, and everyone who's made an appointment for a job interview at Hellsing.
What: Job interviews.
Where: Hellsing Guild Hall, Sobek Croix.
When: Various times after this post.
Notes: If your character has an interview just start a new thread! You may get Integra, you may get Nuala, you may get both. If you have a preference, say so in your subject line or harass one of us, we are easy to find.
Warnings: Bureaucracy?

In the midst of rising tension in the city, Hellsing is busier than usual. New blood (ha, hah) is always welcome, but especially so these days. The guild hall is perhaps oddly quiet, though it's only because most agents are out on cases. Those with appointments will be seen promptly.

As answers go, it isn't a bad one. Nuala, at least, doesn't seem to find anything in it objectionable - she has more questions, but she's willing to consider this discussion off to a promising start.

"Quite true, Mr Lestrange. And we would expect this to remain true, in the event of former enemies within the city." She exhales, and considers the space between them for a moment, cautiously optimistic about his possibilities with them. "The nature of our work requires that we provide a clearly united front for the civilians of this city; their trust in us is essential."

She handles the political angle to keep them out of trouble with the other powers in the city, but they work so well as they do because of the grass-roots base that they've built through consistency and reliability.

After a moment, she inclines her hand. "If there is anything else you'd like to say, before we continue?"

The hesitation is distinct. He knows what it's like to be cursed by Bellatrix. Not only has he seen it many times, he nearly died once, himself, and that was an accident (or so she said, anyway). If this ever gets back to her...

"Should the situation change, for whatever reason, I will let you know." He says, completely neutral. It is only a matter of courtesy. It totally isn't a promise of passive-aggressive resistance should Voldemort show up and/or fully manifest and totally wreck his already minimal chances with Bellatrix. But it would also be very easy to disregard, coming as it is from a complete and disreputable stranger.

Nuala's gaze is momentarily a good deal more penetrating than it was when this interview began- then she begins to smile. Aside from her sometime-fondness for disreputable individuals, she does have certain advantages that not all employers can call upon and the slight, warm pressure of her attention is most noticeable when it recedes again, satisfied.

"Promptly," she says, mildly, in acceptance of both what he says and what he means. "Now- may I assume you're interested in joining our mage resources, or are we discussing something more in the vein of field work? Of course we'd not necessarily limit you to one or the other."
