[video] July 12th, afternoon

[heavenly_earth]

Ghoulia Yelps hasn't come into work lately.. I believe this is a strong indicator of her absence from the city.

[And he's skipping all other pretenses today and jumping straight to recruitment]

Unfortunately, this means I'm looking for a new assistant for the Watch- a secretarial position dealing in filing forms, planning, and handling financial data. Those organized with the ability to multi-task are strongly preferred.

We're also looking for more patrolmen with some level of combat experience to aid in the security of the city. Although the Erinyes took a chance opportunity, we need to ensure there are as few of those as possible.

It's possible to train for either of these positions, but the ability to pick up skills quickly is required, as we don't have too much time to devote to this.

We could also use those with technical skills in regards to mechanical or technical repair.

A reminder that members of the Watch are licensed to carry weaponry, and are paid 20 death dollars per hour of work. Those that can pass a driving test are also allowed to use motorbikes as transportation. Please direct any applications over here, thank you.


Filter- Watch
Though it was rather unneccessary to hold a celebration on my behalf, I certainly appreciate the effort and well-wishes. It was a nice break from the tension left over from the sandstorm and subsequent invasion.

And although it seems a Kishin Egg did a good amount of that work for us, there are still remnants of the Erinyes. They won't hold much in way of public favor after guiding the Kishin Eggs into the city, but it's still possible they'll attempt to reform and make another effort in the future. As always, keep a vigilant eye out for suspicious characters and be sure to report any suspect activities.

As well, Re-L and Vincent have recently accepted a promotion as Zone Leaders of the Red Light district in both Kotetsu and Zero's absence. Be sure to give them your cooperation.

In a similar vein, we've lost a number of deputies, and I'm looking to gauge interest in a few that may be interested in becoming Seconds for their respective Zone Leaders, positioned to take over command of that part of the city in the case of a Zone Lead's absence. Even if your zone already has a deputy, you're free to show interest in another.

It's also notable that our general membership is low, and a number of our shifts aren't well-covered. We can't afford to cut away anymore districts, however.. So I need opinions about condensing the three existing 6-hour shifts into two 8-hour shifts, and how well that may or may not work for some of you. It's just a proposal at this point, but one that would certainly give us a level of membership that's easier to maintain given BREW's poor reinforcement policy.

Should this change occur, I'll also be looking into changing the application process into more formal interviews to better assure member integrity among our ranks. Feel free to express insight any of you may have about adopting these changing policies. I'll be sure to take them into serious consideration before making a final decision.

I haven't heard from you in awhile; how are you faring?

Yes, she's been returned home. All her belongings are gone save for Cupid's espresso machine. Oh, and she left some money to be donated to the Watch.

Voice;

[heavenly_earth]

She'll be missed. She was a great help around Headquarters.

[As for the money..]

A donation? How thoughtful of her. It'll certainly be put to good use.

[motherofthesun]

Yes. It was nice having a partner.

It may be better for you to come pick it up. It's a hefty sum.

[Watch Filter; video]

[redregrets]

I'd be alright with a switch, but if we did eight hour shifts I'd probably only be able to handle one. I mean, I could try two, but then no one would ever see me, and I'd have to take off work to go on missions.

I wouldn't mind doing more for the Watch, if you'd have me. It's not like I ever do anything exciting besides my shifts and going on missions.

[Watch Filter; video]

[heavenly_earth]

Of course. It's also important to sleep occasionally. With the two hour extension, we'd have much fewer empty shifts, which is the ideal so that would be alright.

As for doing more.. you were a Zone Leader when you were here last. One of my Zone Leaders, in fact.

[BACK IN THE DAY]

If you have interest in a deputy position, is there a district you'd prefer?

[realimperfect]

It's... interesting, to say the least. [ After all, talk about a culture shock, or difference in the things she had been allowed to experience in her own world, and what went on every day on their shifts in the red light district. It was easy to say that she was unflappable as always, though, batting an eye lash once or twice but still firmly moving on and forward with her day and her shift. ]

I think we can say that we are settling in well, though.

[heavenly_earth]

I'm relieved. I didn't doubt your capabilities as Zone Leaders, but that district presents unique challenges to those that both command and patrol it.

It's good to know you're doing well, however. I appreciate your willingness to adapt to such new situations.

[statures]

Oh.... oh oh! If you're looking for someone to fill the spot, I'm interested in becoming higher up in the ranks!

[aw yeaahh just like shinsengumi times.]

[heavenly_earth]

[Ah yes, Heisuke. He's mildly concerned about him becoming friends with Lee]

I recall you mentioned leadership experience in your application, so that will work well. Takuto functions as Deputy for the Shopping district you're assigned currently however, so what other districts would you be interested in?

[voice | Watch filter]

[want_the_world]

I'm fine with eight-hour shifts.

I'd also be happy to help out with interviewing or recruiting, if you need someone else on that.

[voice | Watch filter]

[heavenly_earth]

I could always use assistance with recruitment; I'm not as skilled with it as Roy was.

[Or maybe that's just the fewer people they have coming in]

As for the interview process, I may be interested in having you sit in on them at the very least, to offer opinions on a candidate as a Watcher.

[procuracy]

[ he saw Re-l's reply, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to give a report as well. ]

Re-l already mentioned it, but yeah... we're doing alright so far. Still working to get used to that area, but we're getting there.

voice;

[heavenly_earth]

I'm glad to hear it. I'll be here to assist if you have any significant troubles with the area.

[awokentospring]

[And of course, Lee is in the office to help Neji while he's still got a lot of filing to do. It's difficult, but not on Lee's end. Hearing his Meister give a rather long speech over the comms did give him a moment to pause in his work however.]

I have been thinking about applying for a driver's license for a while. Those motorbikes would make rounds more interesting.

[But as for the 8 hours shifts...]

If it is decided that we are to extend shifts, I may need to put in my notice at the club.

[As it was, spending nights outside their home was growing less and less appealing already. It was nice to have more wages but they had saved up quite enough, even with the rent for the condo.]

action;

[heavenly_earth]

[It's always a little tiring to give such long addresses over the network, but there were a lot of things that needed to be brought up and recruitment was certainly a priority.

He glances over to Lee with a raised brow]

I imagine you'd need to learn to drive first. [Not that a shinobi should take long to pick up any skill, particularly one that didn't look too challenging. Lee had one before as well.

But as for his second job, Neji would personally like if he quit, but Lee seemed to enjoy it]

Perhaps, perhaps not. I have yet to sort out precisely which hours we'll cover.

[de_faulty_hero]

Longer shift hours is fine by me. When I'm in the office, I can do some of Ghoulia's paperwork as well. She knows I have a fondness for paper.

[voice; | Watch Filter]

[heavenly_earth]

You don't seem much like someone that has the patience for paperwork, but even a little assistance will be appreciated.

On another note, Karkat Vantas from your district has expressed an interest in becoming a Deputy under you. I've granted him permission to seek the opportunity.

Watch Filter

[nofarplaneyet]

Works for me with 8 hour days. Did you want me to flip around between morning and night to help cover?

Watch Filter

[heavenly_earth]

Those that have answered seem to be in favor of it so far. As for covering them.. It depends what hours we decide to set as for the day and night shifts. What do you think might work best?

[video]

[morecowbell]

Eight hours a day, seven days a week? [Nanami doesn't really look happy about that.]

[video]

[heavenly_earth]

[Said like that, it does seem a bit excessive and he grimaces]

That's the idea. We need to condense shifts in some way. I'm open to other suggestions, however.

[video | private]

[tauborn]

[Look at him, being a good member of the watch. He's on patrol in the shopping district right now!

Still, the question catches him a little off guard.]

...Good. You seem as busy as ever.

[video | private]

[heavenly_earth]

Even moreso without Ghoulia here.

[How did he ever manage without her?]

This may not be my business, but do you have a partner, Takuto?

[pranksterheir]

I'm doing good. Did you see Dave came back?

[heavenly_earth]

Good to hear you're well. As for Dave, I wasn't aware of it, but I'm glad he returned. Are you still partners?
