are you in or out, or in or out?

Who: Hellboy and semi-open to Hellsing personnel.
What: Hellboy calls a meet-and-greet.
Where: Hellsing Guild Hall.
When: Sukkardi, 25 Kavadry, shortly after dark
Notes: This will probably involve a fair share of back-tagging. Players should feel free to mingle their characters around, so they know each other a little when the crap hits the fan in the upcoming plot.
Warnings: Hopefully not, but we'll see.
The call goes out on the Hellsing channel in the morning, a rare burst of text that more experienced members of the guild can probably guess was facilitated by Hellboy handing his CiD to someone from the clerical staff and dictating:
Sol's return reminds me that we've had a bit of churn lately. In the interests of everyone knowing who their fellow guild members are, I'm calling for a little get-together in the dining hall this evening. We'll be starting at dusk, so everyone can do their socializing before the evening's work gets into full swing. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is highly encouraged. Refreshments will be provided.
Come dusk, an area has been cleared out for people to meander and mingle. With Maggie gone, the kitchen hasn't really been the same since, but Hellboy has somehow connived for a couple of tables to have a few platters -- cold cut and cheeses; fruits, veggies and dip; nachos, queso, and salsa -- a couple bowls of punch, and even a bowl filled with ice and some bags of donor blood for the vampires on staff. One of the tables has nametags and markers.

"This was a good idea," Liv commends without any real preamble, making her meandering way toward Hellboy as she presses her name tag to her chest. She's wasted no time in getting herself a glass of punch. She may or may not have prioritised that above her name tag. Good idea or not, she's probably defeating the purpose of a meet and greet by sticking to someone she's already met.

There's something to be said about being qualified to wear a uniform, and Olivia sports hers with pride. She looks sharper than usual in black slacks, white dress shirt, black vest and a red tie. Even her boots have been polished, though they're still obviously made for stomping rather than dressing up.

Liv smiles graciously and gives a little half-bow. "Thanks! And yeah, she's getting a place nearby here and moving out of the Inn soon. It's been a lot for her to take in, unsurprisingly. But she's adjusting well. Working here will be good for her." She shrugs her shoulders. "She likes to focus on her work." Sounds like someone they know.

"Astrid's a bit quirky in her own way. She's got a great sense of humour once you get used to knowing where to look for it." There's no attempt to obscure the fondness Olivia feels for her teammate.

As to whether she's settling in okay, "Yeah," Olivia is quick to assure. "Some of it's a little weirder than I expected, I'll be honest, but it's nothing I haven't been able to handle so far. The cases back home might actually seem boring after this." She laughs quietly. It's a joke, and it isn't, but if it's anything heavier, she doesn't dwell or reflect on it more than a second. "I wouldn't mind tagging along on whatever you're working on, if you need a hand."
