064 - Productivity

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:21:22 GMT

I hope nobody is planning on continuing the past few weekends' curses just for the heck of it, because I can tell you right now the police won't be tolerating innocent people getting involved in dangerous activity. I'm glad they're over, even if that stadium isn't gone yet. Nobody I know was hurt, right? I feel out of the loop, and that makes me nervous that something's going on that I don't know about.

Autumn. Time to dig all my warm clothes out of the other closet. It's always so beautiful, maybe because we just know it's going to end soon. Where I grew up winters were always cold and dark, nothing to look forward to.

[Police Filter]

As anyone would expect, we'll be upping patrols for Halloween. We've lost some police members over the past few months, so that'll mean a little extra work for everybody down the road, unfortunately. If you know of anyone would be qualified and interested in the Tech Intel job, let me know.

Anything in the pipeline I should know about? As far as I know, both court cases have gone to the legal stage so that's not really our concern, Ophelia hasn't broke out of jail yet, and the serial killer has gone quiet.

[Private to Logan]

About that birthday of yours...

[ooc: as a mun I am totally out of the loop, so just pretend that George totally knows what's going on because there is no excuse for her not to have been working away as per usual.]

063 - can't see the sun

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:34:50 GMT

Public Service Announcement: As with most curses that affect the entire city, it is highly recommended that individuals remain inside. If you need aid, you can either dial 911, leave a message on the Network, or make your way to the Police Force building. We will respond as quickly as possible, but common sense is the best way to stay safe. If you must travel, travel in groups and take a communicator of some sort with you.

Nicholas, Faye, Luke and Leia, Anita, and now Tosh and Tony? Jesus. I guess it bears reminding that none of us are going to be here forever. When death isn't permanent, it's hard not to think about people leaving the City in the same kind of terms as we would death back home. "Going to a better place". But the hope that you might see them again some time in the future almost makes it worse.

It makes it necessary that we don't get too stuck in the routine, don't forget the value of what we have here. It's almost enough to make even me cut back on the workaholic routine. Any of us could be gone tomorrow.

[Intel+Dept Heads Filter]
I won't be able to make it in to work today unless this fog clears up - two steps out the door and I have no idea where I am. Anybody with extra senses who can actually get around in this stuff should take extra patrol shifts to help out. It's situations like this that certain people like to take advantage of, not to mention the fog might not be the entire curse, just the part we know about.

Debra Morgan is joining us, so I expect everybody to welcome her and show her how we do things.

Hawkeye, anybody in the pipeline I should look into? Special Agent Fox Mulder has shown an interest in joining the police and I've put him into the process. He's a fictional television character in my world and I can vouch that he'd be an asset. Experience in the supernatural along with FBI training would be invaluable.

We've also lost another Head of Tech Intel. I'll start scouting again.

[ooc: so, uh, basically George's entire circle of friends have left the city aside from Riza, ~~Tony~~, and Logan. De-pressing. ]

062 - speak your mind

[accidental voice//edited private, viewable to Logan]

[outdoorsy sounds, a trawl in earth, birds chirping, dog barking]

Have to remember to go to the market Monday after work, there might be some end-of-season corn left. It's almost October, squashes will be in season. Hmmn, Halloween, there's a pretty good chance of a bad curse that night and it always attracts the crazies, got to mark it down for more patrols.

Gunner don't you dare dig those up - I just planted them. No! Bad dog! Yes, you heard me.

Should stop by the clinic and make an appointment some time soon too, just to make sure. Cervical cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, like Dad, not the way I want to go, but we don't get to pick.

Didn't expect it, couldn't handle it when it happened. Lucky it was just a curse, but still. Scars. And blood. Blood on my hands. Nearly threw up, that morning. Thought it was happening again, thought it was another nightmare, blood everywhere but no cuts. Other people's blood, that time. Faces, memories. Nothing I can do to stop it from happening again, to either me or someone else. Thank god for Logan, for his quick healing. He won't ever be blood on my hands. God, I hope not. Knock on wood.

[dog nose snuffling]

Alright, here's hoping these bulbs come up in the spring. Here's hoping I'll be here to see them. Seems like a long time to plan ahead here. Nice to work with my hands, though, to do something productive and simple and lacking in paperwork and bureaucracy...

Alright Gunner, time to go inside. Tired yet? Well, the sun's going down and you can't stay out all night. In you go.

[tidying up noises, fumbling and clanking of tools]

Hey, how did this get here? Damnit, of course with a curse like this it has to end up on the Network somehow...

[text]

Well, it's all true or else you'd know I was lying. That's a bit of a pain. Some things aren't meant to be said out loud.

It was a curse like this a few months after I arrived that made me admit to being attracted to Logan. It's a little strange, but I've always gotten in trouble for speaking out more often than I should than not speaking out often enough. Like that time... Heh. A good kind of trouble. Anyways.

Sam, if i remember correctly you own a garage? I have a car that desperately needs some fixing up. More like bodywork than any real engine work. Unless you're not too busy to do it yourself, Logan. Or you could work together on it, I don't mind. I trust you both to take good care of her.

[ooc: EDIT: After Mohinder's comment, the accidental voice post was filtered because the mun totally didn't notice the first time around. You can still comment and say you saw it before it was privated, but it's unlikely. And I totally forgot to mention, small text is things she wouldn't normally type, equal to strikeouts or privates on a normal day. She's more verbose at the same time.]

061 - gain

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:32:36 GMT

Well, I am now the proud owner of a '68 Ford Mustang GT. I refuse to have any kind of buyer's remorse over buying this car because 1 - we need a car, and 2 - I've always wanted this car. One of my best friends in high school was obsessed with Steve McQueen and made me watch Bullitt at least a dozen times with her. Now I'll admit that the Dodge Charger is a stronger, faster car, but you can't deny the sheer sex appeal of the Mustang. It needs a new paint job, new wheels, the body has some dents and rust showing, not to mention the interior is shit, but the engine purrs like a kitten. With any luck in a few months she'll be looking as good as she feels.

If I was a guy, you could call this a mid-life crisis, but thankfully women have no such thing.

I'm also bringing a friend home with me today. I don't know how well keeping a dog in the house will go, but no one else seems to want him and I know Nicholas wouldn't want him abandoned.

[Filtered to Dept Heads, Styles, Walter Dornez, & the defending lawyers//unhackable]

Has anyone spoken to the Deities about setting a date for the trial?

[ooc: Yup, that's totally a jab at you, Styles. Picking a fight for the sake of eliciting some sort of emotional response.

George just bought a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback with a V8, 335hp 7L Cobra Jet engine. The mun was inspired by Uncanny X-Men 502, you can see the pages here and here (note that they misspelled Maserati. Fail, editors.). You can watch the scene from Bullitt here ]

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:21:08 GMT

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.

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.

059 - actionspam - Six Months

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 03:33:42 GMT

[After leaving explicit notice that she wasn't to be contacted unless the City was about to be blown up, George had left the office yesterday with the full intention of relaxing at home, alone with Logan. Many people said that the six month mark was a time when you should judge whether a relationship is really going to continue or not, but it was easy for her to make that call. After that first night together she'd known that Logan was worth the effort.

So she sat curled up in a chair with a quilt and a cup of black tea and inhaled the distinctive smell of fall through the cracked-open window. A year ago she never would have seen herself like this, happy and comfortable, but here it was.]

[ooc: closed for Logan! ♥]

058 - Questions

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:32:10 GMT

When did Rose leave and where did she go home to?

What kind of kindness does the City show when it doesn't separate a mother from her child (or vice versa)? Or is it just a whim?

Captain Kuchiki: Are you handling the investigation of Ophelia's attack on Anita Blake?

Anita and/or friends of: How are you/she feeling?

When do you really know a relationship is going to last?

~~Why can't I tell him I love him? And why hasn't he said it to me?~~

I don't really expect an answer to any of my questions today, so feel free to ignore them if they aren't appropriate. I'm trying to avoid the insensitive ones, but it seems to be a part of the curse that some people be embarrassed. How often do you run into such a philosophical curse, though?

I'm glad that curse is over. Although some people were obviously taken surprised by the curse, others were taking full advantage of it. If I manhandled anyone in the course of trying to make my way across the city unmolested I apologize, but I wasn't about to let someone slap me in the face for no good reason.

I've been informed that a couple of murders have taken place and we have been requested to look into the matter. I need someone to speak to other involved parties to co-ordinate and then I need someone to look into this guy's background and find out who should be involved in taking him on should such a thing occur.

The house is covered in marinara sauce. The smell is everywhere, I don't think I'll be able to eat it for a long time after this. Better than the magma I was expecting, though. Small blessings.

I'm still not entirely sure what everyone found so amusing about me as a elderly woman, though I don't really remember much from that day. Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself too much.

Anything to report? Monday morning I want everyone working on this case in the meeting room so we can pool knowledge; we're not getting very far working like this. That would include anyone from Spirit Activity working under Captain Kuchiki.

Waking up here certainly was a surprise. I had always thought it was just a dream, if a particularly vivid one. The more I tried to think about it, the more holes appeared.

I'm very sorry I forgot.

[a thoughtful pause]

I think I've figured most of it out, but I'm afraid I won't be much help to the Police Force. With old age and retirement comes a whole host of physical problems I'm sure no one wants to hear about. The regular me will probably be back at midnight, of course.

That said, does anyone want to join an old lady for a cup of coffee?

Sweet, wonderful you
you make me happy with the things you do

this feeling follows me wherever I go.

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
but I'm beginning to wonder why.

...Damnit, what's this thing doing on? And of course it's not going to delete. [sigh]

[Text//Police Filter//unhackable]

While I'm here, I might as well get some other things done. Anita and Spoiler have found another decapitated body with more traceable features than usual. However, I suspect that the scene might be contaminated and I want Forensics to first be looking for any aerosol or gas poisons in the air before anyone else goes into the area. Anita may have only been affected first because of increased sensitivity. We don't know who or what we're dealing with so we don't know what we can expect.

[Private musings//extra unhackable, but viewable to Logan]

If a curse comes up that forces people to spill important secrets, there's nothing we can do to stop police information from leaking onto the network, especially when we can't go back and filter things because of the curse. I guess that situation can't be any worse than the Mirror City.

What do you do when all your technique fails you? This serial killer isn't as bad as that angel, where we knew what was going on and couldn't do anything about it. Public disgrace is worse than any private frustration. I have some informants, but no backup. I have officers, but no training or rules. I have a jail, but no legal system. Every case is made even harder without full force of the FBI behind me. Am I supposed to learn from this whole situation that everything I've worked for is useless? Anarchy is the necessary state of mankind and I should just enjoy it while I can?

No. I can't accept that. We can make this city right, and we have to, because otherwise what do we have left? I can't quit, it's just not an option. I'll make it to mandatory retirement age if it kills me.

Time to go home. Yes, home...

I need a long, hot bath.

Jeeze, I grew up in Wisconsin and we don't exactly have mild winters there, but this is something else. I don't recommend anybody go out of doors today for any reason, because I don't know how many police members we can get out who can handle the cold in case something happens. No matter how tempting it might be, children should not be outside for any reason and I'm looking at you Lyra. We don't want anyone getting lost in snowdrifts or worse.

Being out here in a house in the middle of nowhere the middle of a snowstorm reminds me of some not so nice movies. The Shining, especially. Let's hope this curse is more benign than that. Did I hear someone mention that this kind of thing has lasted a week before?

That said, I'm thinking the idea of getting a vehicle was a good one, Logan. You sure the heating will hold up?

In any case, if you need me leave me a message and I'll get back as soon as possible. I'll be staying ~~in bed~~ at home today.

At least it's relatively warm out...

5. psychopaths
6. uncontrolled vampires & werewolves & magicians
7. vigilantes
8. drug dealers

12. not being able to protect everyone
13. I died
14. Having to make lists because of some stupid curse
15. And apparently it needs to be a nice round number like fifteen.

Reasons why I should have stayed off the Network today:
1. The Corinthian propositioning Logan
2. Oh god
3. My next list could be really embarrassing
4. I know better

Reasons why I'm glad I'm on the Network today:
1. Lots of interesting and private information

- get up to date on interview of Rorchach
- make up a file on masked vigilantes and find possible way to meet (incentive? "iron man"?)
- get anything from forensics on headless bodies?

If you were accosted by someone acting on my instructions the other day I apologize, but I was completely cursed. I wouldn't ~~be that obvious~~ do anything like that ~~without good reason~~. The Police are here to serve the interests of the citizens, not themselves or the state. ~~In an ideal world.~~

The amusement park seems nice, but I hope that everyone's on their guard to a certain extent because it is rare that the City gives something nice without also giving something horrible to go along with it. Disturbing, when you can't even trust an amusement park, isn't it? If you weren't cynical coming into this city, you certainly will be by the time you leave. If you leave.

[Intel Dept Filter//unhackable]

Alright, so we've got a few jobs on the go right now. First of all, there's been rumour of headless bodies being found around the city, one or two at a time. Keep an eye out, but I haven't seen anything conclusive yet.

As you've most likely noticed, Blitza Airflyer was killed in a vigilante attack by a man going under the name and guise of Rorschach. We don't condone vigilanteism under any degree and this will be treated like any other murder investigation. Captain Kuchiki is heading up this investigation, so any pertinant information should go to him. My main concern is that he may have collaborators or sympathizers interested in doing similar acts in the near future. Find out what you can about these people and whether or not another attack is immanent.

We've also got a man named Kimblee who has been making general threats against the police and the City in general, so keep an eye on him, he has been reported as being highly dangerous and volatile. No matter what, don't rise to his taunts. Professionalism, please.

That should be enough to keep everyone busy for a while.

What else...

Civilians should stay indoors until at least tomorrow morning, but that should be common sense. Yes, I'm working from the assumption that this is a curse and, considering the amount of damage it's causing, won't last very long. Everyone should know the drill by now.

That last curse didn't seem to do much harm. Finally got down to starting that garden in the front of the house, although I'll have to make time to keep it up. Tiger lilies, some chives, assorted perennials. Everything seems to grow in this soil, but you never know what the curse days will do to a garden - I'm sure we're due a random snowstorm or somesuch.

If anyone has any additional information they'd like to share about the terrorist attacks that have yet to do so, now would be the time.

[ooc: George = "farmer/earth-worker". G went to visit Seventh Heaven to pick up the dispenser there, if that's alright with everyone, and I think it's fair to assume that all the rest are in police hands? Investigations Are Ongoing. HAPPY CANADA DAY! ♥ (I was working, grumblegrumble) And my internet is being finicky, so tags might be erratic.]
