[Well, someone's looking cheerful today! Even Achoo is giving the PCD the canine equivalent of a smileThink everyone'll agree things be much better this week than last week's fribbery. Seems we all learned our lessons right enough. Still, seems a shame this place ain't got Dogs of a sort. We're all neighborly-like, but there's bound to be stuff ( Read more... )

What sort of prior experience do you have?

[video] lowercitydog August 25 2011, 17:27:58 UTC

Like I said, I ain't got my bronze badge yet, so I ain't been a Dog more than three years, but My Lord Provost took my siblings and I and our mum in when I was eight. Learned a lot livin' with him and such.

Plus I grew up in the Lower City 'o Corus, and y'gonna get a quick education in all kindsa laws 'n the breaking of 'em there.

[Smile.]

You'll excuse me, Mademoiselle, but your terms make no sense to me. What does your job entail?

[She takes a deep breath and thinks a moment. When she speaks, it's slowly, and it's obvious she's taking care with her words]

Where I am from, the city of Corus, the law enforcement is handled by the Lord Provost's Guards. We're called 'Dogs' by most f- people. I've been a member of the Guards for about three years.

Before that, I lived with the Lord Provost, since he took my family in when I was eight. So even growing up, I learned things from him.

And before that and again now I lived in the Lower City, which is pretty much considered the worst part of the city. So I've seen a lot of stuff.

[He listens, satisfied that she seems to be making an effort to speak more plainly.]

I see.

This Lord Provost. He trusts you despite your background?

[video - private] lowercitydog August 25 2011, 18:16:51 UTC

He found me 'cause I sorta stumbled into helping him solve a case.

And you have natural skills for that sort of thing.

[video - private] lowercitydog August 25 2011, 18:37:17 UTC

I guess so. I just feel I've got these skills and it's either work for My Lord Provost who's done so much for me, or fall in with the Rogue.

Such loyalty is priceless.

[He doesn't ask her to clarify 'Rogue', mostly because he thinks he can figure that one out on his own. Instead, he smiles.]

Your name?

[video - private] lowercitydog August 25 2011, 18:49:55 UTC

Suppose so. It's about the rarest thing you can find in the Lower City.

Name's Rebekah Cooper, sir. But you can call me Beka. Everyone does.

[video - private] 1/2 population_ctrl August 25 2011, 19:30:14 UTC

It's a rarity everywhere, Madamoiselle Beka.

[video - private] population_ctrl August 25 2011, 19:33:07 UTC

[A short pause.]

I could use your assistance on an upcoming project. Relevant to your interests, of course.

[video - private] lowercitydog August 25 2011, 23:46:58 UTC

Most fol... people are only loyal while they think their loyalty will get them stuff.

What sort of project?

[video - private] population_ctrl August 26 2011, 07:09:10 UTC

Plans to introduce some structure to this place. You'll hear more on Saturday.
