knew_anyway[The feed starts with Nathaniel sitting at his desk, contemplatively glancing toward a few papers- notes- as he considers his words carefully, before looking up, directly into the screen and beginning to speak.]
Shortly before his departure from Adstringendum, Colonel Roy Mustang resigned from his position of Ombudsman. As this was in the height of our last event, I decided to postpone the reelection until after the panic died down a little. Having kept up with the work, I can assure any potential applicants that the workload will not be overwhelming, and I would be pleased to assist in any way I can.
It should be volunteer basis only, and the next Ombudsperson should be elected from the pool of potential volunteers. I will warn everyone who applies- it is a demanding position. However, you will get the satisfaction of helping the community decisions, as well as the opportunity to listen to many different viewpoints. I would highly encourage anyone with an interest in peace and organization to apply. You may respond to this post with any signs of interest.
[A deep breath, and Nathaniel steeples his fingers.]
Furthermore, there are a few more things regarding this 'Police Force' that I would like to address. Firstly is the name itself- I believe that it detracts from our overall goal and gives a bad impression. We are not intent on policing the people at this time, we are only concerned with protecting them. While we do intend to lock up dangerous civilians, it is only out of concern for others; and in a case where the people are altered by an event, only for the duration of the event.
We are not here to control your lives; we are here to help you live them safely. For this reason, I suggest we change the name of our organization to the 'Protection Squad'. Any further suggestions will be welcome.
[Nathaniel pauses one final time, considering his next words very carefully.]
...there have been... concerns brought to me about my level of involvement in this Protection Squad. Some believe that my assuming Jean Louis' secretary position, as well as Cabal's research division and temporarily doing the Ombudsperson's tasks, that I have been attempting to... take everything over. [He swallows hard, but forces himself to keep eye contact with the camera.] I assure you all that this is not the case. My only concerns have been with upholding the integrity of our Protection Squad- keeping it organized, keeping it running smoothly. While I... realize that my work-oriented nature does not attain me much social approval, I would like to reiterate that I will answer any and all questions and concerns.
Additionally, I would like to remind everyone that positions in the protection squad are open and on a volunteer basis- I do the amount of work that I do for lack of assistants or other volunteers. Our research positions are desperately in need of people, as well as our communications, planning, and the patrols themselves.
[Nathaniel takes another deep breath.]
Thank you.

Thank you. What sort of work would you be most interested in doing- while we focus on protection, we also are trying to create research, education, healing, and organization branches.
[Video--Private]
Date: 2011-11-29 06:00 am (UTC)It might be better to become more involved.]
What do the research positions entail?

Edward and Alphonse Elric in particular, though Miss Unohana is unhappy with my actions as well. I'm concerned that they might try something.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:02 am (UTC)Oh dear, you sound as if you could use a good cup of tea.

Everyone has their reasons to be suspicious, I guess, but.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:05 am (UTC)I have experience in patrols and even individual protection from missions back in my home world. I'm also a medic ninja, so while I can provide physical protection and help keep an eye out for potential danger, I can certainly give you a hand trying to create a healing branch.
Also, I may be able to help out a bit in the organization branch. My teacher back home was the leader of our village, so I've been exposed to the inner workings of the village for the last few years, something that might help out with getting the protection squad put and kept together.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:06 am (UTC)-I could.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:08 am (UTC)Perhaps you could help in multiple fields- though I admit that the brunt of the work seems to be in organization. Timekeeping, event summaries, plans for a potential marketplace and other social environments through which people can develop a sense of unity.

I appreciate the help, Rei.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:14 am (UTC)I've done somethings similar to that. While Shizune-san is Tsunade-Shishou's assistant, I've lost track of the times I've had to remind her of events coming up or make sure that her hangover isn't bad enough so she could keep awake during the day and run the village.
So I think I would be able to handle the work here, no problem.

And- you and Bartimaeus. [Nathaniel glances away, biting his lip.] The two of you know my birth name. If I ever- you know if I become some kind of- [He's stumbling over his words.] -if I'm the person that everyone is afraid that I am-

Johannes Cabal was assisting me, but with his subsequent return...

The list might be short, you know. I don't know if anyone else would apply.
[Video PRIVATE JUST BECAUSE]
Date: 2011-11-29 06:27 am (UTC)You wouldn't be, I assure you. There has only ever been one man who has ever done so and he is back in my world. Here any work I needed to do is done for the day- so I insist.

Date: 2011-11-29 06:29 am (UTC)By the way, my name is Haruno Sakura. I figure that might be important for the rest of the protection squad to know.
