Sixth summoning [Voice] - Family Lost

[knew_anyway]

[The PCD turns on to silence at first, before Nathaniel speaks, his voice soft, calm.]

Jean Louis and Mireille have returned home. My condolences to anyone who were friends with them.

[A moment of silence.]

I'd like to reassure everyone, however, that this will not impede any progress. We are more than capable of rising above such dark times, even without their guiding hands- I have utter faith in that.

[Another pause- as if he wants to say anything else- but he switches the PCD off.]

[Text || Private to the Police Force Filter]

I am willing to take Jean Louis' responsibilities in addition to my own. If anyone has questions or concerns, please refer back to me.

Beka Cooper is also missing, but I have retrieved some of the maps she managed to make. We will have to reorganize a little to allow for her absence.

We cannot let these disappearances weaken us, no matter how they may hurt.

...I'm sorry.


[[ooc: I AM STILL TAGGING NAT'S OTHER POST fjdkls I'm sorry, I just had to make a goodbye post from him. :( ]]

There are others equally willing.

I appreciate the support. However, I feel it's best if I take up his duties for the time being, until we can properly decide how things should be handled.

From what authority does that decision come?

[Juliet is looking upset, but composed, for the moment.]

Thank you, good sir. My condolences to you as well.

[She hesitates a moment.]

I am glad that the policing force will continue to grow, although the Durocs have gone. I think it would make them both very proud to see it flourish and be of help to this place. It would be a fitting tribute to them, as they cared so much about the people of the city.

Thank you, ma'am.

[A deep breath.]

I certainly hope I can do their memory some justice. They deserve to have their hard work pay off.

[capuletnomore]

Juliet. I am Juliet Montague, good sir.

They do. They deserve everything they would ever wish. And if you are earnest in your attempts, you will do them justice indeed.

[Why yes, Bartimaeus has figured out how to private things now...just not to be unhackable yet. There is a small sound in addition to the voice as he is in the form of a lady bird and buzzing about the mic.]

People you knew?

[voice | private]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Bluntly.]

Friends?

[He is learning about filters! Despite sucking at technology like this.]

It's sad to see Duroc-san go, even if I've only spoken to him a few times. [lol he's new.] He seemed eager to get as many on the force that could help as needed.

I'll help in anyway that I can.

Oh, I'm Asato Tsuzuki.[Kinda tired of typing the last name first, eee] Sorry that I couldn't speak to you in better circumstances first.

[Any help is good help!]

Yes- we need all of the volunteers we can get.

[Nathaniel murmurs in acknowledgement.]

It's good to meet you, mister Tsuzuki. My name is John Mandrake- I worked alongside Jean Louis these past few months.

It wasn't that long ago that I volunteered for, and joined, the police force, Mandrake-san. I'm afraid I don't know many also involved in the project, yet.

[And this help, no matter how lazy he can come off, is a hard worker and possibly the most powerful shinigami working under Lord Enma, so yay?]

I may not seem like much help at first, but I'll work hard.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

They're gone?

...At least Jean Louis' done beeping me ten times a day. Unless you're planning to take that over?

[And John might notice she's calling him by his first name.]

I'm gonna ask Beka's unit members if they're okay to work with me. I can be in charge of both teams for now. Unless one of them would rather become unit leader in Beka's place.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I hope not to bother you, but if you like, I don't have to contact you unless it's vital.

[He nods.]

I'll have you in charge of both teams until we can find a suitable replacement. Can you inform them?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She quirks a quizzical eyebrow. Come on, John. Can't you tell when she's being sarcastic?] I don't mind you contacting me whenever needed. You don't have to wait until it's vital. In fact, I'd rather you didn't wait.

Yes. I'll do this shortly.

[ooc: I'll throw a post, tomorrow at the latest.]

You haven't been here very long, have you? Progress is impeded upon all the time.

Re: [Video]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I've been here long enough to know that. However, I will not allow this protective force become stagnant and fade into nothingness without their influence.

[thelightbringer]

Are you taking charge of the government now?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

No one person is to be in charge. It's merely a matter of delegating Jean Louis' workload onto those who are willing.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[thelightbringer]

How much of the workload was poor Jean Louis shouldering?

You are putting me to shame.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

What makes you say that?

[grandvision.livejournal.com]

You've been doing an excellent job being the public face of the police force.


[Roy might be feeling a liiiiiiiiiiiiiittle competitive, especially considering the concerns his friends have shared with him about John. But none of that comes across in his demeanor, which is self-effacing and a little abashed.]

[bunny_flower]

And just what responsibilities are we talking about, Mandrake-san?

[Police Force Filter]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Merely his old secretarial position. Organization and keeping track of things. I don't intend on making any sort of grab for power, I simply do not want this project to fall into disarray.
