Order 282

[steeldame]

I was forced to stand in a queue for nearly two hours. What is this hellish madness to purchase a simple package of cigars?

[[Younger Alucard]]

How is he faring? Have he been adapting to the City thus far?

[[Hellsing]]How is the project advancing, Alucard? I want a full report about what is there to inspect. I would need the blueprints of the

...holiday shopping.

[steeldame]

It didn't appear normal. Last year, this never happened.

[amazing_guy]

More people in the city?

Interesting use of the word queue. I've never heard it used like that.

[steeldame]

Perhaps, I suspect foul play of the deities myself.

It's the English way. I am sure Megumi would teach you our vernacular in the future.

[haroicsacrifice]

Well...there are some downsides to the holiday season.

[steeldame]

I used to have people doing this chore for me. What a waste of my time. Did you find what you were looking for?

[haroicsacrifice]

Sometimes it's good to get out and do these things yourself!

Um...I'm still looking for some people. But I've got most things picked out!

[steeldame]

This sort of mundane task is absolutely dull to me.

You ought to do that soon. By tomorrow, I estimate that half of the items shall be out of stock.

He disbelieves everything about this place and thinks us off course and in Europe. I don't think this will go smoothly.

[hercount]

Mm. How interesting. Can we trust ... Mister Bond with our systems? Ah, but I can ensure his trustworthiness.

Bastian will have a full report for you after the holidays.

Hellsing;

[steeldame]

He's James Bond, Alucard. I am sure you are somehow familiar with the fiction. He's a fellow agent of the Crown, albeit this he doesn't know about us yet. No, you won't foolishly frighten. I can ensure fealty without your aid.

I plan to employ him further when this ends, for espionage missions to Millennium if he agrees.

Hellsing;

[hercount]

I am aware of whom he is, Integral.

Hn.

Hellsing;

[steeldame]

Then you know about his qualifications. I wouldn't have you spooking a potential ally away.

[deathbutler]

... I- I'll... look for culinary aid.

Hellsing;

[steeldame]

This is disconcerting. Make haste if you need assistance.

Hellsing;

[deathbutler]

Yessir.
