[ What appears over the network is a car. It is simple; black with four doors, good size. The scene shifts to reveal Integra, who looks quite pleased with herself. ]

As much as I enjoy the horses, I went and bought a car. The payments were low enough, and while it isn't... exactly what I am used to driving, it will do. I went to the DMV a few days ago to get a license, and now I am on my way to go get the vehicle registered.

[ Pausing, she peers back at it. No more walking, no more getting horses and carriages ready... this is going to be a very, very good thing. Or bad thing, depending on her driving. This is also a good distraction from the loss of Walter. ]

Would any of my housemates want to join me? [ Yeah. She's wanting to show this thing off, okay. Who wants to take a ride with Integra? ]

You've been using horses until now? In the city? [It shouldn't surprise him, but he can't quite keep a note of it down in his voice.]

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

...Not entirely. My grandfather and Doctor Seward... in their time, there were no cars. Simply horse drawn carriages, so naturally that is what we have here. I usually just walked everywhere, honestly.

[He chuckles dryly.] I was going to say that it hardly seemed practical- it must look like the start of a funeral procession.

[voice]

[integra_hellsing]

Or a wedding procession, yes. Fortunately, I can now teach them the wonders of cars.

[12second_orz]

A far more positive analogy. The modern age will welcome them with modern arms, I'm sure- though it sounds as though they've survived relatively well without you so far.

[integra_hellsing]

They have. Perhaps they won't like this... but they'll still have their horses, so it'll be alright, I think.

[12second_orz]

True. Though [chuckling] I can't promise you that I wouldn't startle their horses with my horn if I got caught behind them in traffic at rush hour.

[integra_hellsing]

You wouldn't be the first. It's happened several times, really. [ She chuckles as well. No one had been hurt, after all, so looking back on it... it was pretty funny. ]

[12second_orz]

[And the chuckle turns into a laugh at that.] You don't say? One of the many risks of city life, I suppose. Poor beasts- the horses, that is.

[integra_hellsing]

It was... interesting, I suppose you could say.
