[ Despite looking far worse than she did the last time she appeared over the network, Integra looks, at the least, determined. She's sitting up in a chair this time around, not in bed, and she's dressed in her suit -- it's somewhat wrinkled, mind you, considering it took her every ounce of energy she had to get the stupid thing on.

With a shaky hand, the young heiress lifts a teacup from her nightstand; a dead give away that she's quarantined herself to her room, still. Using her other hand to steady it, she takes a small sip to wet her throat before speaking.

Her voice is gravely and hoarse, it's obvious she's having a hard time speaking. ]

I am in need of someone who can draw up a last will. If I am to die in this bloody place, I'm going to be legal. I don't have many things, I can assure you... so it will be quite simple. This is, naturally, assuming I die.

[ Because she sure as shit feels like it. ]

I don't want to do anything in person, naturally, I wouldn't want to infect anyone else. So if anyone knows of a good attorney or someone along those lines, if they would so kindly direct them my way... thank you.

[ The feed ends. ]

[And he's there, sitting on her feet after seeing the message.] You aren't dying, Integral Hellsing.

Action

[integra_hellsing]

[ Blink. He's managed to actually surprise her this time, and she damn near drops her tea. Fortunately, she doesn't. ]

What exactly do you call this, then, Alucard?

[tinyvampiregod]

Wallowing in your guilt. [Yes, he believes the demon is right. He got better, after all.]

[integra_hellsing]

I've nothing to feel guilty about. [ Please, like her pride's going to just allow her to blurt everything out, dude. ]

[greedyful]

Dying sounds like a lot of work in that case. Why don't you just avoid doing it?

[integra_hellsing]

Everything dies at some point. Some sooner than others. I'm simply trying to be legal.

[greedyful]

That's because they don't try hard enough not to.

[integra_hellsing]

Perhaps. I haven't seen you before, have you just arrived?

[voice]

[12second_orz]

Doing things professionally, even in dire straits. I must say, that's an admirable attitude to have.

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

Thank you. It's always a good thing to have handy, I have learned at home, even if you don't die. One never knows.

[voice]

[12second_orz]

One knows even less here, one might say. So many alien factors to consider, after all. At least circumstances are somewhat predictable at home. This plague, on the other hand... [He hasn't had much more than a sniffle himself, but it's certainly affected his work enough.]

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

...This plague is absolutely ridiculous, is what it is.

[voice]

[faustianism]

I have some experience in writing up such things as wills and contracts.

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

Oh? Are you an attorney, then?

[voice]

[faustianism]

I have a law degree, and a license, but I haven't practiced in a very long time. I don't enjoy going to court.

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

Lovely. Mm, no, I would imagine you wouldn't. I certainly wouldn't, either.

Action;

[bloodthirsts]

[Later, after Alucard visited her, knock knock and the door opens a little, Seras' head poking round it into the room.]

... Miss Integra?

Action;

[integra_hellsing]

[ Integra looks up from what she's doing, which is... fiddling with her NV. ]

Hello, Seras. Please, come in.

Action;

[bloodthirsts]

[A little nod and she comes through, shutting the door behind her gently and walking forward.]

Are you really... it's that bad? [Her voice is a little hoarse too.]

[Audio] Private

[angel_of_death]

You don't need it!

[Audio] Private

[integra_hellsing]

You don't know that, Walter. Neither do I. It's just taking precautions.

[Audio] Private

[angel_of_death]

We should focus on getting you better rather than waste our time with the likes of them!

[The depth of the young militant's disturbance in reaction to her message was vast; not only had he instantaneously discarded almost every ounce of professionalism he had, but so, too, had he lost focus on controlling his presentation of being healthy. His breathing was erratic-- strained in such a way that was easily distinguishable from the result of being winded from a prolonged tirade. He had not even begun to yell, and yet was already out of breath.]

[lockandkeyblade]

Hey, don't talk like that! You gotta hang in there. They'll figure something out.

[integra_hellsing]

[ Oh, look. It's the young man with the weird relationship issues. She merely hums and leans back in her seat. ]

Perhaps, but what if one doesn't make it that long? I'd like to have my affairs in order.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

If you really have to then... do the will really quick, then work on getting better!

You gotta think positive if you're gonna beat this thing. [A firm nod.]
