[Some of you may be used to this beaming face being on your screens by now. Some of you may not. You are the lucky ones. But now you're exposed to it, and the owner of this face is unfortunately loud. He's cheerful, as is usual]

Good morning, everyone! I hope that all of the new arrivals are starting to get used to the city! I have spoken with some of you, but not all, and I hope to eventually meet with everyone!

I am Maito Gai, and there are two things I want to cover in this message. The first is Morning Training! By now you have heard of the war, I am certain. The best way to prepare for this is to attend Morning Training, held at the Training Grounds from six in the morning until nine! That is why it is called Morning Training. We teach partnership, basic, intermediate, and expert fighting, how to fulfill your role as a Meister or Weapon, and other things! Breakfast is provided so all should come!

We could use more teachers, if you have been here for a time and wish to help, or know things about fighting that you can teach. BREW has sent home more of the people who help and so we are... shorter than usual. I appreciate the help of anyone who teaches!

The other thing I wish to talk about is the Watch. I, along with my Meister Kakashi, am in charge of the Inner City Residential District. If you need assistance there, or something goes wrong, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Thank you for your attention and I hope that your day is splendid!

[It looks like the feed ends as he switches to private messages.]

[Private to Team Gai]
I had the idea of Team Dinners, once a week, just us four. I have already spoken with Neji about it, but what do you think, Lee and Tenten? When is best for you two? We do not connect enough here!

[Private to Stripperella]
How many did you wind up hugging?

[Private to Kanji]
I hope that you are feeling less upset today?

[Private to Spirit]
I have a few questions if you have time! The first is if a few people in the city work to make everyone happy, and succeed, can the city be renamed to Happy City? Or Joy City? Or something like that? Because Death City is a very grim name. Also, has anyone tried hugging a Witch to defeat them? And finally... How did the war begin?

I see! ...Although?

Can I get your opinion as one of my Zone Leads?

Of course!

[And switching to private now.]

I think we'll need to reduce the ground that we cover, as the Watch. We don't have enough men to go around anymore.

How do you feel about this?

[Gai nods after a moment.]

Morning Training has fewer people working as well I understand the need. But I wonder if we are getting close to a point where it is too much work? There is a lot of ground to cover in each zone already, and there are a couple of Zone Leaders who are leading alone now.

...But I do not have a different suggestion.

Given the fact that the guest population appears to be on the rise, we might indeed reach a point where there's too much to do. We'll have to start cutting our losses and start reorganizing our priorities.

[He is clearly not happy with this.]

We need to step up recruitment as well, but this sort of thing isn't what I'm good at. I'll need to ask the others to lend their expertise.

Did the city not have something before the Watch was made? Perhaps there could be something jointly between the Watch and the city itself?

It did... we took over the faction, actually. [Hum.] I've been talking to Kid about it. They have more soldiers on their end, so their students may be able to help us more often. We might be able to get some skilled citizens of Death City to join us as well.

What if it was to become a joint venture? I do not know if another commander would willingly give over the people under their command to people who could go home at any time.

Joint venture, huh...

[Thinking, thinking.]

I suppose I'll have to study this more.

It could be worth it! And then the pressure of recruitment is not all on your shoulders, as well!

I admit, that does sound very tempting.

Then it is worth a try!

I'll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, though, consider what I said a warning. I'll get the opinions of the other Zone Leads, but cutting down on the patrol routes might really happen soon.

I understand and I shall await further instructions.
