[ It's nearly two in the morning, and Duo looks about as exhausted as he sounds. As if his sleep schedule wasn't sporadic and meager as it could be at the moment from years of sleeping when and where he could, not apparently his mind found this the appropriate time to plague him with nightmares and replays of memories he would rather forget. Dark circles are beginning to form under his eyes and rubbing at them probably doesn't make it any better, but he's doing it anyway.

Unfortunately his first attempt at talking is interrupted by a yawn, but when he does speak it's hushed and drowsy. ]

I know it's like... ungodly o'clock in the morning right now, and I'm sorry if I'm waking anyone up but.. [ Hold on, it's apparently break time to take a drag off of the cigarette in his other hand, as he sighs the smoke out through his nose a moment later. ]

Sleep is completely evading me tonight, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a particular 'trick' to getting back to sleep after nightmares? Or just.. a general way that it's better to try and fall asleep with than nicotine and a shot of whiskey? Otherwise that's my next step, because I'm seriously gonna fall out if I keep not being able to sleep..

I mean, my sleep schedule is really messed up but I've never really had the nightmare problem until I came here... Is that like, a common side effect or just me.. ?

Anyway, sorry I'm rambling but my brain is fried. I'd really appreciate any answers...

[Darcia looks as though he's been missing sleep again, and looks quietly at his communicator for a long time before he says anything.]

...I have been thinking deeply of my beloved these last nights. I wonder, am I the only one who has suffered loss? Who else is mourning the lack of loved ones here?

[He's pensive, looking away from the screen for a long moment, then the video ends.]

Current Mood: pensive

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.]

Filter: DOGS/The Watch
[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

(There's a small amount of undignified fumbling when the feed clicks on, but it settles quickly on the stoic face of a man who looks, as ever, tired and worn around the edges nowadays.)

There are several things I currently find necessary to broadcast. Firstly, I would like to know the whereabouts of a white wolf with red markings upon her face and flanks. I owe her much and would like to offer an apology.

Secondly, I require... employment, preferably. I have little idea as to how to go about seeking it, but in my own world I was both a warrior and an alchemist from a line of unsurpassed talent.

(He doesn't seem to be boasting in any way, merely stating the facts. He looks away from the feed for a moment or two, apparently caught by some memory, then looks back again, composed.) I would be grateful to anyone who might assist me in such an endeavour.

Lastly, I would like to apologise to anyone who was privy to the disgraceful broadcast from this unit last time. Such behaviour is unacceptable, and I am deeply ashamed than anyone might have borne witness to such a display.

(He bows his head, then turns off the feed.)

Current Mood: tired

[The feed turns with a clatter as the communicator is thrown against the wall, and so the first images are a swirl of fuzziness as it slids to a stop somewhere close enough to give a view of said wall.

There's the sharp thump of furniture being knocked over. And then the screaming starts.

It's loud and hoarse, and goes on a while before trailing off into ragged sobs. A blue-clad shoulder comes into view, slamming hard into the wall and sliding down, turning enough in the process that those who know him can recognise the figure as Lord Darcia.

He scrabbles at the wall like a trapped animal and tears stream down his cheeks, face contorted in grief. His right eye is wide, unseeing, and the left side of his face is a scoop of shadow, yawning hollow. He raises his head, only to slam it back into the wall, rocking back and forth and still sobbing like a child or a madman.

It's clear he's still caught in the grip of a nightmare, but after a while, his cries can be finally heard as words.]

Hamona... Hamona... where... why... I killed... why... Hamona... I killed her...

Seems it's still needed. Don't mind us.
