I'd probably go to Japan just to see the veding machines.....I'm that weird. I never thought there would be a potted plant one, but now that i spent some time thinking about it....it's not a bad idea

if she weights less than a duck, does that mean you can't build a bridge out of her?

Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone and metal?

I've heard there are some vending machiens that sell holy water. My question is since when do they mass-produce that stuff?

Well, I know every year there's this event called The Blessing of the Lake that apparently turns all of Lac Ste. Anne into holy water, so it might not be so difficult. Point the Pope in the general direction of the Mediterranean and BAM! Problem solved.

Who buys stuff like that? If you really need holy water, just take a couple of gallon jugs to your local priest. I can't imagine a priest would say no to blessing something.

They will on the other hand give you a funny look.

Most churches have a couple of gallons of holy water stashed away somewhere anyway. I know mine does at least. Suspicious, maybe they are getting ready for something we don't know about.

"Father" Heinkel, huh? Well, at least Timothy isn't the only person who has trouble telling.

Well, one of them has to be posing as the priest, and since they know Yumiko and Timothy doesn't exactly project "Father," that leaves our dear Heinkel. (Plus, I doubt Timothy could pull it off as well.) x3

Sleepy!Timothy is adorable, even if he had it coming.

Poor Heinkel must have to wear some uncomfortably tight under garments to pull off the man image as I recall a pic of her from the manga without her jacket on and she was quite definitely a woman

Honestly, in my opinion they call it Holy water, while it can be just plain water from the tap. its the same with a Placebo. (a fake pill)

You give it to a guy that feels sick, but his sickness is more paranoia then anything else, you tell him that it will cure him with out a doubt and he will actually start feeling better.

now apply that to the Holy water and you got you're self a cheap way to earn money as you cant tell in anyway that it is in deed blessed...
only a priest who did it knows.

Boy i know what he is going thru right now...
first time around when i went over there i had a serious Jet-Lag as well, being to excited about it all that i did not sleep a wink in the plane. the only thing keeping me awake until i was able to get to my place to stay was my girl friend buying me a few can's of energy drink's from the venders along the way...

really funny how she paid for them too; she had her old mobile phone with her from when she still lived in Japan, you know that if you got the money for it that you can turn you're phone into a wallet?

she just pressed what she wanted onto the vender, type her pin code into the phone and with in 5 seconds she needed to press her phone up against the vender and the payment was done. talk about sickly Hightech

then again her family are owners of a few major industries and Company's, so they could afford it all...

a description of her Dressing style in two word's "TomBoy!" not that there is anything wrong with that though, heck my GF is one.

I'm pretty sure homemade holy water is less purified than the expensive stuff. I dunno, you might need to do some tests on undead, some might just give them a mild itch instead of burning them.

Sounds like a good plan, call on me when you're gonna do it ok?

I'll cover you're back with a .45 just in case they try to eat ya.

Who needs hellsing when you got a expect marksman like me to cover you're back.

O.o I'm not that silly as to face any kind of undead at close range... I was thinking about an airdrop effect to test it out... or possibly find a way to put it in arty shells.

You might not be, but me and a few of my fellow Dutch country men are.

I am crazy enough to get upclose and personal with only my Katana.
But i prefer a Pistol over anything.

heck... we are just danger crazy. i am just like adrenalin junky but a little more extreem. but hey, thats just half the fun

Pfft, being close is what makes you dead. It's just like Pip said, if vampires and such get in close, you're a midnight snack. REAL soldiers use stuff like mines, tanks, sniper rifles, machine-gun nests and radio for air support. Also if necessary tactical nuclear warheads. Or strategic ones, if tactical ones aren't cutting it.

Yes, but as far as i know the Majority of the Japanese People are Buddhists, and so there isn't in every city a catholic church (ok, in Tokio they most likely have one, but i don't think it's so easily to find like a big gothic/romanian-style Church) so it's doesnt cost so much time to simply take the water from a vending machine then search the next church, esspecially when you're chased by a horde of the undead.

PS: you don't need to bring some gallon jugs of water, in catholic churches there is usually a big canister of holy water, and you can take some bottles of holy water from there for free.

oh i know that, i like to pick my targets off at range too. (airsoft compititions, mostly recreations of WW2 Battles.)
Heck me grandpa is a WW2 Veteran, thats where i get most of the senarios from for a nice compition

But as the universe of Shine and Hellsing is all ready a nut house, why not join the funny farm and attack like you have a death wish?

so far as i can remember; i saw Yumie go at it with a sword, i believe it was volume 9 or so before she died...
but i am not sure though, my head is hurting like hell so i cant really remember things right at the moment...

Fun fact: Hirano has said that the Hellsing versions of Heinkel and Yumie/ko are not the same as the Cross Fire ones. (Same way as the events of Coyote are not in the same universe.)

So that very sexy pinup of chick!Heinkel in a dress isn't canon for this version of Heinkel ^_~
