Oh, goodness! It seems we have a lot of new people in town, and it seems to have happened very suddenly.
Does anyone need anything? Help, cookies, a friendly ear? I'm Father Mulcahy, the town priest, and I'm happy to do what I can.

Nice to meet you Father. I'm Olive.

Hello, Olive! Nice to meet you as well. What brings you to Aternaville?

I sort of followed Ned a friend here. He just doesn't really know that I followed him. I don't think. I'll tell him when the time is right.
Do you have a service on Sundays, Father?

Ah, I see! It's good that you came here of your own volition. Not many people do, I find. I was surprised to find myself here, quite honestly. One of the peculiar things about this town.
I do! Are you interested in attending, Olive?

Well, that certainly does make things feel a little more familiar.
How are you, Father? My name is Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. I'm very pleased to see a man of faith all the way out here.
If I may ask, what religion do you follow?

Of course you may ask! I don't mind at all. I'm ordained in the Roman Catholic Church, but I used to be a chaplain in the Army, so I'm happy to perform rites from other religions for those whose faiths differ from my own. I find the different religions of different places and times fascinating!

What the-- First vampires coexisting with regular humans, now friendly Catholic priests that don't want to dismember my men or give me a massive headache with fanatical ramblings? What is this place?
Ah, I see. I come from the Church of England, so I'm aligned with the Protestant faith. It's strange -- you don't strike me the same way as the Catholics that I deal with back home. You seem much more kind, and your willingness to accept the rites of other religions is such a refreshing change of pace from the fanatics that I'm used to.
I hope you won't take it the wrong way if I tell you that the idea of a priest that realizes what faith is all about has significantly brightened my day.

I certainly don't. In fact, I take that as a great compliment. Thank you!
