Sixth summoning [Voice] - Family Lost

[knew_anyway]

[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,

There are others equally willing.

I appreciate the support. However, I feel it's best if I take up his duties for the time being, until we can properly decide how things should be handled.

[expunger]

From what authority does that decision come?

private;

[knew_anyway]

From his own. He's left me many notes.

[A lie, but he needs to- he knows well enough that he cannot let this fall into her hands.]

[Juliet is looking upset, but composed, for the moment.]

Thank you, good sir. My condolences to you as well.

[She hesitates a moment.]

I am glad that the policing force will continue to grow, although the Durocs have gone. I think it would make them both very proud to see it flourish and be of help to this place. It would be a fitting tribute to them, as they cared so much about the people of the city.

Thank you, ma'am.

[A deep breath.]

I certainly hope I can do their memory some justice. They deserve to have their hard work pay off.

[capuletnomore]

Juliet. I am Juliet Montague, good sir.

They do. They deserve everything they would ever wish. And if you are earnest in your attempts, you will do them justice indeed.

Good to meet you. My name is John Mandrake.

[He offers a wry smile.]

And I'm trying very hard to be earnest.

[voice | private]

[knew_anyway]

Yes.

[Bluntly.]

[voice | private]

[knew_anyway]

You think I have friends?

[But his voice is edged.]

I wouldn't have expected you to think so highly of me.

[He is learning about filters! Despite sucking at technology like this.]

It's sad to see Duroc-san go, even if I've only spoken to him a few times. [lol he's new.] He seemed eager to get as many on the force that could help as needed.

I'll help in anyway that I can.

Oh, I'm Asato Tsuzuki.[Kinda tired of typing the last name first, eee] Sorry that I couldn't speak to you in better circumstances first.

[knew_anyway]

[Any help is good help!]

Yes- we need all of the volunteers we can get.

[Nathaniel murmurs in acknowledgement.]

It's good to meet you, mister Tsuzuki. My name is John Mandrake- I worked alongside Jean Louis these past few months.

[amethyst_gaze]

It wasn't that long ago that I volunteered for, and joined, the police force, Mandrake-san. I'm afraid I don't know many also involved in the project, yet.

[And this help, no matter how lazy he can come off, is a hard worker and possibly the most powerful shinigami working under Lord Enma, so yay?]

I may not seem like much help at first, but I'll work hard.

police filter

[knew_anyway]

I appreciate your desire to help.

[He nods at him.]

Don't worry about that. You'll meet others.

[feel_nevermore]

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.

[knew_anyway]

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?

[feel_nevermore]

[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.]

[knew_anyway]

[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?
