( It was downright perturbing the way the awoke. Trapped in a silver coffin and caked in her own blood. In fact, she still couldn't quite believe it, even as she listened to the words of the hologram and perused the literature in the envelope. She didn't want to.

It was a cruel joke, certainly. Or a dream. Perhaps she might even be dead. Not likely, though. She would remember such a thing, even considering that she did just come out of a war.

But, as Integra always does, she would have to the most of it. Keep a stiff upper lip and move forward. So, she does. One clank of her boot after the other, as she staggered along out from the cavern and into the twilight engulfed bay. )

( One shower and some much needed rest later, she had determined that no, this wasn't a dream. She's made a mental note to skewer whomever compelled her to this world later, but for now, she needed to find a way to thrive in this place. Learning to use the device was simple enough (as it was not terribly advanced from the technology in her world,) and the flicked on the screen. )

Good afternoon. My name is Sir Integra Hellsing, and I've only just arrived. I'm searching for a tutor of sorts, someone experienced in cooking, and I'm willing to compensate for their time.

( Exactly how, she hasn't determined yet, but... details. )

With that in mind, I'm looking to see what jobs are available. I'm an experienced combatant with training in both bladed weapons and firearms.

( She's not about to demand any kind of leadership position, but it's clear she carries a certain gravitas to her words.

With that, the feed flicks off. )

[Give her a moment. Rip just sort of stares at her device. Screw the annoying dolls. Something worse just appeared. She might just be giving her hands a quick glance and upon seeing nothing out of the ordinary, finally flicks on her device to stare at the blonde for a moment.]

...You know, cooking iz not zhe first zhing I'd expect someone like you to be asking about.

[Now the question is, did this Hellsing bitch know who she was or did they have to go through the old song and dance yet again.]

Az for jobs, just stay out of Everglade.

( Yeah... yeah, okay. Well, it's not that she doesn't who she is, but it sets her a bit on edge. She hadn't expected to run in to her here. )

Aren't lying dogs supposed to play dead?

( Her words were laced with venom. Forget Rip's advice, she wanted to know how she could possibly be there, and why she was acting so familiar. )

[Lets see, laced with venom instead of annoyance.. Rip relaxed and even smirked slightly.]

Considering you dog never plays dead, vhy should I~?

[As for acting familiar.. it's a long story and one she's not willing to share. The last thing she wants is for dear Integra to get ideas.]

I haf every right to exist peacefully here.

Edited 2018-10-10 01:57 (UTC)

Yes, of course. That is, considering, you remain peaceful.

( To which, she has her doubts. The remark is a snide one. )

[Her smirk slowly shifted to a more neutral look at Rip simply studied the only other person from her world. Any one else and She would have been fine. Even if Alucard came back. But, to her, Integra was even more dangerous than her own killer.]

Actually, I haf.

[There's no teasing this time. No attempting to push buttons.]

For zhe last year or so, I've been vorking hard to turn my life around. I haf people I love und vho love me back, people I vill kill to protect, even if it means destroying zhe vorld to do it.

[She leans a little forward and just stares at Integra for a moment, her head tilted and studying the woman with a slightly predatory look.]

I refuse to haf anyone pull my strings anymore, Sir Hellsing. No Masters, No Major.. Not even you or Alucard are going to control me. My future iz my own und I am happy here.

Zo if you zhink you can just vait for me to fuck up again so you can kill me or vorse, you are in for a very long vait. I am not risking my happiness because some blonde twit of a knight zhinks she needs to protect zhe vorld for vat I used to be.

( She doesn't appreciate being called a 'twit,' though it's not something she allows to affect her-- not verbally. However, what causes her to bristle was Rip's implication that she had her under a microscope, callously waiting for her to fail. )

Do you actually believe I want to keep you under my thumb, cackling maniacally as I wait for you to fail? Don't fancy yourself so important to me. I have my reasons to be suspicious of you, but if you truly mean your words, then you should have nothing to fear. I have no intention of dragging our battles out in this world, and as a knight, I have other obligations to fulfill. I can be your enemy, but that decision is ultimately in your hands.

( Basically: stay in your own lane, Rip. She doesn't want to deal with you, either. )

Vhether you vant to or not, it seems to alvays happen in one vay or anozher vhen ve are thrown togezher.

Admittedly, I usually do fuck up to zhe point vhere zhings happen und zhe next zhing I know, I'm eizher impaled to a tree und beheaded or bound to you.

[She has stories okay. ]

Und yes I mean vat I say. I am trying very hard to put zhe battles of our vorld und ozhers behind me zo I vould appreciate it if your meddling limey nose to yourself.

[The feeling's mutual.]

Besides, I haf no illusions zhat ve vill be anyzhing ozher zhan enemies. Vho know if zhat vould haf been different if Alucard vas still around but az it iz, you stay out of my vay, I stay out of yours.

I was under the impression that you would find me easier to contend with than my servant.

( She learned that he was, in fact, here from Soma. And at least she wasn't prone to brutally torture and murder her. More to the point, though: )

But you say that I've been in this world before?

Hardly. I'd razher Alucard's attempts and vinning me over to be his mate over your commanding ass any day.

[...Let that sink in Integra. Even Rip still has mixed feelings about that one.]

Zhis vorld, I don't know. But, I've met you in ozhers.

[She sighed and leaned back in her chair to pinch the bridge of her nose just under her glasses. Rip could already feel a headache coming on.]

I've met you in two ozher vorlds before zhis one. Ve didn't get along, vat a surprise.

That's not a fate I would wish upon anyone, not even you.

( She cannot believe this is a conversation they are now having. She notes how Rip is awfully resigned to her, though, wondering what sort of impact she's left on her. )

[She looks faintly amused by that.]

Und here I thought you'd jump at zhe chance to give him a play toy to keep him occupied~. Or zhat you might vish to haf a matching pair of vampires under your command.

[What is this conversation even? Rip's both amused and resigned by it while she watches Integra carefully. The impact the other woman left on her was a harsh one, just like everything else she's experienced since her initial death.]

...It vas veird. Be glad you missed it.

If you have consented to intercourse with the Count, then I suppose I have nothing to judge but your taste. I have always considered his advances towards me as nothing but unwanted and untoward.

( That's a light way of putting it. )

If that so happens to be the case, then by all means, keep him out of my hair.

( WHAT IS THIS CONVERSATION EVEN, RIP? WHAT IS THIS CONVERSATION? )

[SHE DOESN'T KNOW.]

Vat can I say? I like stronger males.

[Then she pauses slightly and looked a little uneasy when the subject of consent comes up and just moves on because Rip is NOT ready for THAT conversation.]

Vell, at least I know I'm not zhe only voman he's been persistent vith.

[She sighed softly.]

...I zhink I need a drink vith how zhis conversation is going.

( Integra... isn't really certain what her 'type' is-- or even if she's attracted to men. Frankly, it isn't relevant to her work, so she has refrained from dwelling on it too much. )

Well, all I have to say is that if he feels any need to keep up his persistence, he would find himself at the end of the barrel of my gun. I think I would prefer someone more subdued-- if anyone at all.

( She and Rip both, tbh. )

[...Somehow, Rip really wouldn't be surprised if Integra was attracted to women.]

I tried zhat. He seemed to like it vhen it came from me.

[Hence, her frustration at times.]

Hm..I zhink I might know one or two men or vomen zhat might be a little more submissive~. Or at zhe very least subdued. Zhe only question vould be, do zhey haf to be human.

[Obviously they should go drinking together at some point.]
