Seras: Ack! Sir Integra! I’m sorry! Er… *Ahem* Sorry, sir. [standing at attention] Integra: At ease, Seras.

Integra: Granted… [THUNK] Seras: You shouldn’t smoke. It’s bad… Continue reading Cigar Break 2/12

Most of the tones in this story were made by my friend Maddie. Seras: Seriously — smoking disrupts your nervous system, puts you at risk for cancer, and ups your chances of heart disease! And all the statistics show that it’s worse for women than for men — especially bad since heart disease kills more… Continue reading Cigar Break 3/12

Integra: Seras, I appreciate your concern, but there’s really no need for it. It isn’t as if I’m addicted to cigars. Seras: Prove it.

Integra: Because I’m only doing it to prove… Continue reading Cigar Break 4/12

Day 18 of no cigars Integra: Look, you do this every month, and it’s becomign a problem. You can’t keep slacking off just to look at the full moon! [gratuitous chibi moment] Alucard: You just can’t properly appreciate its beauty. I suppose I can’t blame you, though. It’s a failing of your species.

Integra: By that same token, if I light a cigar —… Continue reading Cigar Break 10/12
