60 - Loss
It seems like every time I take a nice weekend off, something bad happens. This is only the second or third time, of course, but it's still enough to make me suspicious. Things always seem to be even less of a coincidence in this city than anywhere else.

[Private to Styles//unhackable]

Are you Do you want to Shit.

Want to get a drink?

You're still a dick, but he liked you so I might as well try.

[Filtered to Palace/Styles Employees//unhackable]

Anybody heard from or seen Styles since Broklehurst left? We need to know if he's still going to be capable of handling the prosecution on the decapitation case.

[Intel Filter//unhackable]

This is just a reminder for everybody to keep police business within as narrow filters as possible.

The Warden would like us to monitor Walter Dornez's activities while he is on house arrest, so he is to check in twice a week with front-door security, us, and then the Warden. So please don't try to shoot him or something if he's in the building. I want his Network activity monitored if at all possible. If this all blows up in our faces it's going to be us cleaning up the aftermath, not the Warden, so no matter how idiotic his decision might be we've got to do our best by it.

[ooc: strikes are private, hackable by empaths, blah blah blah. Broccoli is gone, so George is sadfais. D:]

Being alright for a case and being alright personally are two completely different things.

He makes you get over it, at least for a little while. The hate, that is.

It would be easier if he showed some sort of remorse at all, but I guess that's too much to hope for.

My opinion. Charming can pretend to be in charge all he wants, but has zero understanding of how a police force should be run and I've never been one to obey orders blindly. I've told my people to carry on with what they've always done and if he starts a fuss I'll deal with it. All of them have commented to me on their dissatisfaction with his changes and I suspect it's the same in every other division. Unfortunately, my department back home was run by a political appointee, so this is familiar ground for me.

It's a little too familiar to me as well.

I've been telling people that I'm not going to forbid them from going out into the field as normal, but if Charming actually starts to try to interfere in things, we might have a problem. I've confidence in the force's ability to pull together, but there's only so much I can ask the average member to be willing to do.

Old habits die hard.

If we're lucky, Charming will be satisfied with figurehead status and we can keep everything he might not like under the table. I've warned him what will happen if he pushes too far, but I think he overestimates his own importance. If it comes down to it, by a month or two I'm pretty sure he'll have turned everyone in this city against him except the criminals.

I'm not too familiar with the new Warden, so I've got to ask—is he actually... capable of the position?

In my opinion? No. He's a politician, he has no idea what he's doing, and even if he is he's only going to look out for himself.

I'm none too happy about Nick up and leaving either. I would have liked a better end to the time off.

I wanted to tell ya I'm taking up some teaching at the new school. The hours won't be bad, here's to hoping that it'll go alright. I'm teaching woodshop.

It was still a nice weekend, but I'm going to miss having him around.

Teaching, eh? It's a good idea, I'm sure you'll do a great job.
