Sixth summoning [Voice] - Family Lost

Oct 22, 2011 15:53

[The PCD turns on to silence at first, before Nathaniel speaks, his voice soft, calm.]

Jean Louis and Mireille have returned home. My condolences to anyone who were friends with them.

[A moment of silence.]I'd like to reassure everyone, however, that this will not impede any progress. We are more than capable of rising above such dark times, ( Read more... )

goodbye my friends, what is right and what is easy, oblivious or socially ignorant?, burning the candle on three ends, political moves, my problems they are hidden, what is a family?, -police force plot, vulnerable nat is vulnerable

They're gone?

...At least Jean Louis' done beeping me ten times a day. Unless you're planning to take that over?

[And John might notice she's calling him by his first name.]

I'm gonna ask Beka's unit members if they're okay to work with me. I can be in charge of both teams for now. Unless one of them would rather become unit leader in Beka's place.

I hope not to bother you, but if you like, I don't have to contact you unless it's vital.

[He nods.]

I'll have you in charge of both teams until we can find a suitable replacement. Can you inform them?

[She quirks a quizzical eyebrow. Come on, John. Can't you tell when she's being sarcastic?] I don't mind you contacting me whenever needed. You don't have to wait until it's vital. In fact, I'd rather you didn't wait.

Yes. I'll do this shortly.

[ooc: I'll throw a post, tomorrow at the latest.]

[Seriously Raven, when will you learn that John will never understand sarcasm.]

Yes, alright. Thank you for your assistance.

[A pause.]

I'm concerned about Raphael. Have you dealt with her before?

[He's gotta learn if he intends to spend time around her. And it's not that difficult anyway.]

As you should. ...I usually avoid having to deal with her. She's way too powerful and dangerous.

She wants to take over the police force, doesn't she? [After all, that's what she's been trying to do since the beginning.]

I've been informed of that. But in Jean Louis' absence, she is a very real threat.

[A pause.]

I want her off the project.

To be honest, I've never wanted her in. I told Jean Louis that from the very start. But it seems impossible to tell her no.

I'll help you achieve that if I can.

It might be best if you continue steering clear of her. Out of the line of fire.

[Thoughtfully.]

If she kills me, Hino Rei and yourself should decide what to do next.

I'm afraid this strategy won't work for as long as it already has.

Why would she kill you? You'd come back anyway.

It's a matter of not interacting with her. I can keep both of your task forces as seperate as possible.

...if she kills or otherwise incapacitates me, then. I'm sure there are plenty of ways she can cause brain damage and render me useless without killing me. I'm prepared to accept the consiquences.

...John. [She sighs and looks him in the eye.] I appreciate what you're trying to do. But I won't accept to have you put yourself in danger to keep me away from her.

I'm not a damsel in distress. I'm fully capable of defending myself alone.

Also I did not heal you back then to have you throw yourself at Raphael and accept the consequences. That'd be stupid and totally defeat the purpose.

It's not just you I'm trying to protect.

[Just as firmly.]

It's everyone who is wary or Raphael. It's the integrity of this force and the reputation we must uphold in order to be deserving of the public's trust. I will do everything in my power to keep her at bay, but if that is not sufficient, then I entrust yourself and miss Rei to act appropriately in my absence.

[A soft snort.] What makes you think you're up to this task? Especially alone?

I'll do my best. And I can't talk for Rei, of course. But I doubt we have the same vision of this police force as you do.

I'm not planning on throwing my life away.

[He smiles at her.]

I don't charge into things headfirst- despite my willingness to intervene, I do think things out carefully and I don't plan on bein incapacitated any time soon.

[A pause.]

I'm talking about a backup plan. A 'just in case'.

[She doesn't smile back. There's really no reason for her to.] That's why I'm telling you that too. 'Just in case'.

[He sighs.]

Do you want me to tell you that I'll be careful?
