DEMISE

The dates are starting to line up again, so me may end up having newcomers from BREW in the near future. Might be a good idea to watch out for that.

...Of course, it also means that there may be even more disappearances than the ones we've had over the past few days. Those two usually go hand in hand.

[Pausing there, looking a little rueful.]

Funny how I've been around here long enough to notice this sort of thing. Makes a man think, really.

[The feed ends there, for most folks.]

[Now it's back to business.]

I've talked with Shibusen and a few of you about this already, so I think it's time to bring the idea up to everyone.

Recent events have made our numbers dwindle lower than they have in a while, and I'm not comfortable with constantly waiting for BREW to bring in people who could be interested in joining us, or on the folks who are already here to come around quickly. As such, in order to focus the resources that we have at hand and make sure that everyone isn't overworked, I'm planning on ceasing all Watch activity in Outer Residential Quarter III, and Zones 1 and 4 in the Outer Quarter of Death City.

I am aware, of course, that a number of you will be affected by this move. As such, I want to hear how you feel about this, where you'd like to be transferred, and who you're more comfortable working under among our current set of Zone Leaders. You're free, of course, to approach me in my office or send a message to me in private with your responses.

Anyone who's violently opposed to this move is more than welcome to talk to me about it. Know, though, that it's not an idea that sits very well with me either. Still: the last thing I want is that we're unprepared for another attack on the city, or for whatever else might happen to us from here on. Hard decisions need to be made if we're truly going to do everything that we can to protect this place, and each other.


Separate Filters to the patrolmen at Outer Residential Quarter I and Outer Residential Quarter II, although the message is exactly the same

If this move does take place, that means that Zone Leaders Neji Hyuuga and Lain Iwakura may need to take command of your area. How do all of you feel about this?


Filter: partnered pairs on patrol EXCEPT for Tenten and Santana

Would any of you be interested in a deputy Zone Leader position? This is on the pretense of actually taking command of an area in the future, of course.


Filter: Tenten & Santana

Of the pairs I've got at the moment, the two of you are in line for a promotion. [Smiles.] Are you girls interested in that?


Separate filters again, same message: Riza Hawkeye, Karkat Vantas, Flynn Scifo

How soon will you be available for a mission?


Filter: Genesis Rhapsodos

Any news on that serial killer of ours?


ooc: Riza, Flynn - assume that Roy approached you about this matter already, maybe a day or so before this post came up. Everybody else: you're more than welcome to action spam me here if you want to log anything related to this post out. XD

[The first thing you'll see, when the feed comes on, is one gloved hand adjusting the screen a bit - there's the sound of rain in the background. Then it's withdrawing, showing a hooded figure leaning against a wall close to Shibusen Academy, staring down at the screen.]


It seems like I've missed quite a lot around here...


[Clean face, dark hair, eyepatch.

Yep. Guess who's back, Death City? And looking a lot tired, and a little concerned. Roy Mustang's smiling, though. That's a good thing, right?]


Hello again, everyone. Sorry I took so long, coming back. Members of the Watch, please check in with me immediately. As for the rest... well, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in.
