i wasn't cognizant for a lot of it because abraham kept me staked and starved while he was working on them for his 'safety'
what i really wish i had was access to his notes; he was absolutely meticulous while he did his work
i know he tried to work with only science at first, as a doctor, but that alone wasn't enough and he turned to the occult to bolster it and work against my own darker aspects. the end result is a strange amalgamation that works in tandem--either one without the other would eventually fail at holding me
I see. Then I believe Sypha and I will have to do our experiments together, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd like you to write down what you remember of the process over the next few days-- even if it isn't much, even if it's snatches of memories or suspected things.
i'll do what i can but you're right that it definitely won't be much
well, originally i intended to die when integra does, but i can't die anymore so when she passes i'll be handed down to the government to continue the work of hellsing
except i know the men i will be left to and they're too frightened to hold my leash: they'll lock me away again and let me rot indefinitely
That's a far better incentive. Someone once told me to stay positive; you having the power to kill them instead of you being helpless is a much better way to think of it.
she was the last person standing on a mission i went on--a vampire had taken out an entire town and all attempts at stopping the situation were met with the deaths of human operatives
despite all her comrades falling around her she still stood her ground against the vampire
i had to shoot through her to get to him because he was holding her hostage and my weaponry is not something a human can walk away from
but she had such a will to live that she took my hand and my curse to keep going, to keep living
she's strong, and clever, and i'm lucky to have her in my life
she's been my partner since i turned her, in a work sense
i definitely see her as my daughter rather than anything else
Clearly. That's the second time you've mentioned it. I'm sorry I haven't heard of her before.
I'm eager to get to know her better. I admit, the side you describe is a side of her I haven't yet seen-- but we've had only one conversation, and I think that was a mutually interesting and exciting prospect. Neither of us have ever met a newborn before.

she seems very capable but i'm not sure she likes me so i'm going to have adrian ask her
as far as pain goes, i care little if it hurts or not as long as it gets done, at least this will be of my own volition
no one's tried to remove them before so i don't know; with a master in place i can't even attempt it
without integra here to tell me no i'm inclined to believe i'm capable of allowing the research to happen
whatever they did to us at the camp removed them temporarily, but also removed all my powers, as we both saw

What awaits you when you return?

Killing them wouldn't be an option?
no subject
unless of course my seals are broken when i return
so you see my issue

no subject
i'll still follow integra's orders, but because i want to

Speaking of women you're fond of . . . I met a young woman I suppose I'm inevitably going to think of as my sister. Seras is charming.
no subject
[ he used a punctuation! this is exciting! ]
i'm happy you two have met
she's grown so much since i turned her, she's a good girl
no subject
But yes. We've met. I can't say as I know her very well yet, but I look forward to it, which is rare enough for me.
no subject
does she know you're my fledgling also or has it not come up yet
no subject
And yes. A bit. She was the one who called me her sister, actually, she was very enthused by the idea.
I admit, I was pleasantly surprised.
no subject
i'd say long story but really she was just the fresh meat around hellsing
that sounds like her
i'm glad
no subject
Tell me of her. "Policegirl" is not much of a description.
