OPEN | the "Lost People" mingle!

Who: Every lonely person with a story to tell! (Check out the OOC details if you haven't yet!) Oh, and Peter Pan (

boyhood), too.
Where: Mingles are out on the mansion grounds.
When: June 4th-6th, night.
Rating: PG-13? We'll see.
Summary: Peter is up to old tricks. Using his influence as the Pied Piper, Peter gathers together everyone in Wonderland he can for a celebration. Are you ready to make some new friends, sad sacks? This doubles as a convenient excuse to see how many vulnerable children there are.
The Story:

So you heard a little tune on the air and you've come to play! The more, the merrier. Night 1 isn't strictly an action event, but if you'd like to have your characters react, or just want to thread something out for that time, go for it. Night 2 and Night 3 are where the action's at. The prompts are general ideas of what's going on!

Anyone who isn't invited is going to find they can't figure out where everyone's disappeared to, exactly, and if they do go to a location, it's going to look like nothing's going on. Strange, huh? For those who are invited, he only rule is this: mingle to your hearts' content! Make new posts, tag into things, do what makes the most fun!

After each night, everyone will be free to disperse before the sun comes up. They'll wake up in their beds feeling refreshed, with the pleasant, surreal sense they've just had a sweet dream.

Except it wasn't really a dream, was it?

There will always be death when war is the subject. Do I like saving people? Yes. Do I like killing monsters? Of course. Do I like spilling human blood? No. But sometimes I have to do it and if I don't do it, I can't be sure anyone else would.

[She drinks. Yeah, maybe she shouldn't' be talking about this with alcohol in her system. She'll start ranting and not of happy things.]

The average lifespan of a person serving in the Hellsing organization is about three days and considering it's my orders that send the soldiers to their death, their blood lies in my hands. Do I like my job? Yes. I have to, for the worlds sake.

Hu.

[Yep. Looks like they will both be ranting. Thanks alcohol.]

When we get new recruits for the Survey Corps, we give them a cape with our symbol on it. They don't get their jacket until they come back from their first mission.

[Another drink.]

We do that because we don't have the resources to make clothes that just end up inside in a grave.

How morbid.

[No, like. Really.]

I never sugar coat it for the men. I tell them exactly what they're getting themselves into and I do my best to make whatever life they have left serving under me pleasant. Uniforms are the least of my worries. Good food, good housing, there's no point sending them off to their deaths at least without an ounce of happiness left inside of them. You can never let them think their deaths are in vain.

That's the way to do it.

[A soldier's death should never be in vain. If he could he would tell that to every soldier that has died on every mission. Just to let them know they did something, because of them humanity will find a way to go on. And because of them Levi has more power under his wings to fight in their place.

And another drink. This bottle is feeling a lot lighter now. All this talk about how fucked up his world was and how...well her life didn't sound any better. At least she knew how to treat her soldiers. Their king could use some lessons from her.

He raised his arm to drink once more but he paused as did his next step. He glanced down and saw that the grass had turned to sand. That crashing sound he heard was so loud now and when he looked up he could see it's source. It was water. Miles and miles of water. It wasn't completely calm like a river or a lake would be. The surface was rough, rolling, yet the moon still could make a decent reflection on it's moving surface. His arm went back to his side as he stared, his jaw ajar.]

[She had kept walking when she realized he wasn't moving. Right, the ocean. People from his world had never seen it. If only Eren was here, really, she would have enjoyed to see him freaking out too. Feeling a little more free of inhibitions, she moved backwards grabbing him from his unslung arm.]

Don't just stare at it, get closer.

[It's not that he thought the captain would be at the beach.... Eren had simply ended up there.

Levi had only been a few paces ahead of him when they'd gotten separated in the woods. What kind of soldier lost track of their (delusional, imaginary-music-hearing) commanding officer at such a short distance? After wondering around in the woods for a while, yelling the Captain's name at the top of his lungs, the young soldier had finally realized that Levi wasn't the only one who was lost. Making it out of those woods and onto the beach had been an unexpected turn of luck.

Eren had seen the ocean earlier, but the view at night was something else entirely. It was a shame he was too worried to enjoy it right now.

Scanning the beach, his eyes fell on two figures off in the distance. Ah... they were probably lovers who came out her to make out or something. Gross. His first instinct told him to avoid them, but... there was always the possibility that they'd seen the Captain. He'd have to go ask.

As he made his way over to them, he called out:]

Uhm! Excuse me! Sorry to bother you on your date, but have either of you seen............

[Oh.]

[After a sideways glance to where her arm was, he almost took another step forward. He wanted to see more of it, to touch it and maybe even taste it. He wanted to hear if the stories were true and he was trying dark not to give away how excited he was, but a small smile spread across his face for a split second.

Until the moment was ruined.]

What?

[Eren, you little shit-- but his subordinates words were enough for him to snap out of the almost trance like state that the booze and the ocean had put him in. He shook free of Integra's arm to loom over the young boy, giving him a dark look. What the hell, Eren?]

[Yeah, that was one way to turn a friendly bonding moment into an awkward one. She moved away from the two and nursed her bottle at that.]

Oh great. At least we found the fool.

[Now that it was done, she could totally leave. Right? Yeah, maybe she should.]

Captain-!

[Eren let out a heavy sigh. He hadn't realized how fast his heart had been beating before, but now that everything was okay, it was starting to settle down. He doesn't even care about the death glare he's getting.]

And Lady Hellsing?

[Looks between the two of them.

Notices the bottles. Ah.]

What's going on here?

Followed the music to booze.

[See, Eren? He can't be crazy if the music led him to a party.]

Where the hell have you been?

[Wow, how does Eren even love you when you're so cold to him. Not that she minds, she's the same way to people. Eren just managed to rub her the right way. Unfortunately for Eren, she's been drinking and her own bottle is almost finished. She moved over to the boys and placed a gloved hand on the top of the boys head ruffling up his hair.]

What your captain is trying to say is that we met up at the party and then he realized he lost you so we came looking for you. I assumed you might have wandered to the beach and we came here. You can't go swimming in there at night. I might have told you about whales but I didn't mention other sea creatures who could harm you.

[Eren, never the most experienced in physical affection, wasn't sure how to graciously accept a hair ruffle. Instead, he continued to stand there with a very confused look on his face and he tried to get their story straight. A party? He'd been searching around all night and hadn't see any signs of a party...

But at the mention of whales and other sea monster, the topic is quickly placed aside.]

Ah! Yes. Sorry for causing you trouble. -But in any case, Lady Hellsing, I did a little research of my own about them. You're talking about alligators, right?

Since we're here, we might as well enjoy it for a while. Perhaps the Captain would enjoy hearing about them too!

[He pauses for a moment to look back at Integra as she spoke and ruffled Eren's hair. How funny that she knew what he was talking about. But he was drunk by this point as well. The bottle in his good hand was dangerously low.]

What the fuck are you talking about, Eren?

[Alliwhatnow?]

[She didn't even bother this time to chastise him for cursing, there was simply no point. Instead, she tugged Eren closer. It was a lot easier to stand when she had someone to lean on.]

An Alligator, it's a very large reptile with razor-sharp teeth. Fortunately for us, we won't encounter them in the ocean. You must have ready the wrong part of the book.

[It's okay. It's a lot of information to take in.]

I don't think we should be here during the night. It's hard to see what's in the water, or in the sand.

Lady Hellsing's world, sir. She was telling me about it the other day. It's amazing.

[He shifted a little to accommodate the extra weight. It was actually kind of nice to have someone lean against him in such a friendly manner. At her words, though, he quickly looks down at his feet.]

There are things in the sand to watch out for as well? Ah, if that's the case, then... [Then maybe she was right. He hadn't realized the beach was such a dangerous place.]

[He raised his eyebrow before he glanced down and kicked the sand as he took another drink.]

Fuck it.

[He wants to see more. So fuck the sand and whatever is in it. He takes a few steps to the water, stopping just before the waves touch his shoes.]

[Why wasn't she surprised the idiot was going to do whatever he wanted.]

Of course the one with a sling is the first to do something stupid. [Though she wasn't mad because she knew perfectly well they were both drunk.] Damned drunk.

[Using Eren, she sat down on the sand and leaned back, downing the rest of her bottle and throwing it aside. It was a lovely light. See? She wasn't lonely after all, she was with two people! Not lonely.]

[ He helped Integra settle down. Once she was properly seated though, he begin to show signs of restlessness.

When he spoke next, it was done quietly, so the captain couldn't hear:]

I should probably make sure Captain Levi doesn't fall in... or something.

[Yeah right. He just wanted to get closer to the water.]

Since he's a little tipsy, and all.

[Wow, he might be drunk but he isn't gonna fall over and drown. That would be dumb as hell...

He does feel a bit dizzy though staring at the waves. He stares for several more seconds before he started to focus on something. There was something moving between the sand and waves.

It was a crab. But he didn't know that.

He stepped on it, lightly with his foot because he didn't want to touch it, but he didn't want to kill whatever it was either. Just enough pressure for it to stop moving.]

The fuck is this?

I can't see. Eren, pick it up.

[Let's start bossing people around. Also, she sees right through your shit, Eren. You're such a teenager.]

[ Oh? What might it be? He goes over to investigate.

Shit. That thing was terrifying! ...Eren decided to pick it up anyway.] Please move your foot, sir. I'll take care of it from here!

[Good. Make Eren do it. He was so drunk he might actually not get up if he bent over right now. He lifts his foot and the crabs then starts to scurry.]

Catch it.

[Of course, the crab thinks it's probably the best idea ever to just scurry off towards Integra. She straightens up a bit and then starts chuckling.]

That, gentleman, is a crab. A very large on at that. They're not very dangerous as long as you can keep yourself from being pinched by the pincers.

[She lazily threw a shell... and missed. Really, her vision was a little blurry by now but it's fine. It's a god damned crab. She ain't scared of a crab.]

Right! Watch out for the pincers! [Eren stored the new information, and kept it in mind as he went in for the catch. It took him a little longer than he first expected it would. He hadn't been expecting the crab to run sideways!

Once it was caught, he held it up proudly for everyone to see. Wiggle and snap all you want, you little bastard. Eren is not letting go.]

Got em! My first crab!

[He stares at it for several seconds. He was surprised by how weird this thing looks.]

Ugly little fucker.

[He looks from the crab to Eren after he said that.]

You aren't collecting them.

[They are weird and smell bad.]
