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.]

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

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

Of course. ... can I ask how close it was? I'm sure there were a few votes that were just -- well, they might not have entirely understood what they were voting for. I want to make sure this is justified.

No.
I said 'we' for a reason. I'm going. You're going to have to deal with it.

But she does know a lot about how I operate and the sorts of things I'll be working on- as does Castiel. The two of them can piece together my research. I try to keep a record of everything that I do here in the event of my loss, but- some things are more important.
[A little pause, and he sighs.]
If I die, am detained, sent home, or if something happens to me, I trust you to take over my position- with the help of miss Rei- until a new secretary can be instated.

He had to protect her just as much as she wanted to protect him. Nathaniel would not let anyone else get caught up in this- not if he could help it.]

Date: 2011-12-20 07:32 am (UTC)Not currently. I would look to the shinigami captains, however- miss Unohana would not accept the position, but mister Ukitake might. Raven and Rei and Castiel are all good choices- but Rei is hotheaded, Castiel lacks a certain empathy, and Raven is... complicated.
