Alucard drifted from room to room, plotting ideas and plans to screw with the new recruit. Reach through a wall and grab him? Chase him as a dog? Give him nightmares of disturbing proportions? He would have a hard time deciding, and he only had less than half an hour before the candidate got here. That reminded him, he needed to go wake up Seras. Travelling to the basement, he didn't bother with any warnings, and simply phased through her door. He found her dangling upside down from the ceiling asleep, arms crossed, and feet hooked over the blades of the ceiling fan.

Alucard was glad that his fledgling was now a true nosforatu. But the fact that she was hanging upside down like a bat was a bit... embarrassing. He flipped the switch next to him without a second though. Seconds later, Seras dropped to the ground, face first. "OUCH!" she yelped as she smacked the floor.

"Seras Victoria, while it may come natural to hang like a bat, I'm afraid vampires of high class, such as ourselves, sleep in coffins," Alucard had taken to calling her by a proper name now that she had 'grown up'. Seras scrambled off the ground and dusted herself off. "Although, I'm glad to see you aren't fighting back against your instincts as much."

"Is there something you needed?" Seras rubbed her neck, trying to ease the pain. Had she been human, she would have gotten a broken neck or a concussion. Or both.

"Master wishes for us to stay out of sight. A prospective recruit will be arriving soon, and she does not wish for us to terrify him. Though I don't see why she is worried about you," Alucard laughed at the frown on Seras face. Just because she was a full vampire now didn't mean he couldn't cause trouble for her. He suddenly picked up a strange noise coming from aboce ground. It sounded like a motercycle. "Oh, he's here. Time to dissappear!" With that, Alucard faded away. Seras sighed, and decided to hide out in the armory and clean her weapon. No sense in wasting time...

Meanwhile, Walter was oppening the door for the new recruit. Expecting to see somebody... strange or eccentric like most specialized operatives, he was suprised to find a man in full regulation Hellsing garb standing at the door. He was suited up in the regular fatigues, kevlar, mask, and helmet of a generic soldier. Walter smiled, and motioned for him to enter. "Welcome to the Hellsing Estate. I will lead you to Sir Hellsing's office."

"Excellent," the man replied. "Lead the way."

-------------------------------------------------------

Stupid, yes. Senseless, yes. Funny, I thought so. I just randomly thought 'Hey, don't vampires also sleep upside down in some shows?' So I figured Seras could test the theory...
