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.

The injury is indeed a rare one, and it only reinforces some of the conclusions Mycroft has drawn about LeMat. He can't see the whole picture yet, but every piece helps complete the puzzle.

"Not to be contrary, but I've found most people have greater difficulty lying through their actions than they do through their words," he replies, his smile taking on a wry edge. "Considering trends in this organization, I'd think that if someone had said something aloud, it would be much less... forthcoming."

"What you're saying is that if they really hadn't liked me, I'd be sent to fix the water heater?" Or, in other words, pay a visit to Alucard.

Sebastian's smile is easy and highlights that one day, he'll have crows' feet around his eyes. Like many wizards, his actual age is difficult to guess, but it's not unreasonable to deduce that he's somewhere in his mid- to late twenties and spent a few years living rather rough with at least a couple of those years as an underfed child.
