Twelfth summoning || Political ponderings [Video]

[knew_anyway]

[The video button is hit and Nat smiles at the PCD, sitting at his desk, surrounded by stacks and stacks of books and papers- an organized chaos.]

The victor of our last poll was none other than mister Alphonse Elric.

[He smiles.]

Congratulations, mister Elric on your new position as ombudsman. I look forward to working with you. [Nathaniel glances through his papers for a moment, before looking up toward the camera again.]

There's been quite a few new people. I'd like to welcome all of you- my name is John Mandrake, and I serve as the secretary for our Protection Squad. If you have any questions or concerns, I'd be honored to address them.

[He nods once and turns off the feed.]

[Private to Alphonse Elric || Unhackable || Text]

I'd like to talk to you about a few key points that we didn't discuss when you were simply filling in for Roy Mustang

[Private to Hino Rei || Unhackable || Text]

I'm doing the summoning tonight. If anything happens to me, please work with Alphonse and maintain calm.

Ms. Unohana would never accept a leading position, but she's always been very valuable in terms of resources. And she's always given me wonderful advice.

Maybe Mr. Ukitake?

An excellent choice. I would go to him first.

[A slight nod.]

[al_truism]

Would you want to talk to him about being your second?

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'm not sure.

[He glances off.]

Yes. But it isn't my choice to make.

[Video || Private || Unhackable]

[al_truism]

Why not?

[Gently.]

[Video || Private || Unhackable]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Because I won't be here.

[He shrugs.]

I shouldn't have any say on what happens when I'm not here.

[al_truism]

Talk to him anyway? Or whoever you might like. You have more information than I do.

Hopefully we won't need to make that decision at all.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I will plan on it.

[A smile.]

But if anything happens to me in the immediate future, you and Rei should be able to piece everything together from my notes.

[al_truism]

... you're planning something.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I am about to take a small, calculated risk.

[Video || Private || Unhackable]

[al_truism]

What's that?

[Video || Private || Unhackable]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Simply a personal project of mine. Nothing that concerns the protection squad.

[al_truism]

It does, if something may happen to you.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I'm not expecting it to. It's simply a precaution.
