[Locked to the Task Force//Unhackable]

There will shortly be a position for the new deputy of the Task Force. If you wish to take command, please let me know. I am sure an interview system with those who can do their job will be arragned for you. Upon your election, I will hand over my badge.

Excuse me, ser?

[tenshinoyobou]

I am unfit to do the job I have been elected for, under the influence of the Rose Glass or not. It is only fair, then, that I turn in my badge.

[Voice]

[kingslaying]

I see. And what are your reasons for deciding this, this time?

[tenshinoyobou]

Embroiled in my game of monsters and maidens, ser.

[Voice]

[kingslaying]

Then we'll damn well drag you out of it. Don't think you're escaping this so easily, ser.

[tenshinoyobou]

It would be best for the morale of the Task Force if they have a deputy who can actually be called upon to lead fairly.

[Voice]

[kingslaying]

And what have you been doing recently?

[tenshinoyobou]

Failing each and every person I care for, friend.

[kingslaying]

It's not my place to judge who you failed or how, Angeal, but you have not failed your duty here. You have done absolutely nothing, in fact, to make dropping from your post acceptable, and to be perfectly honest, I don't want you to.

In fact, since you have not yet resigned, I'm making it an order.

[tenshinoyobou]

I can't judge correctly. and if I can't make good judgements, how can I be expected to lead? You can't make orders which will harm the Task Force, Jaime. This is for the best.

[kingslaying]

For one thing, Angeal, I'll make whatever decisions I damn well please. For another thing, I'm not of the opinion that this will harm the Task Force, rather that it will benefit it, the people of this city, you, and myself, because if I'm Sherriff, you're damn well stuck as Deputy.

If you fear your judgement will be faulty, you ask me, or Ada, or any other member. You do not decide to drop from your post. There lies faulty judgement.

Just let him go, handsome. You can't force him to do his job.

[Voice]

[kingslaying]

Yes, I can, and I damn well will.

[Voice]

[coy_smile]

Between the two of you it's a wonder we get anything done.

[tenshinoyobou]

So you keep me in for morale?

What's the point? I'll not be able to keep it up.

[Voice]

[kingslaying]

The sight of your beaming face every day gives us all something to aspire to.

You'll keep up if I have to drag you by the beard, Angeal.
