002·· The New Force [voice post]

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

This city officially has a new police force. Given, I'm the only one on the force currently, that I know of. But that's easy enough to work around.

The station is a mess, there's stacks of unfinished paperwork left from the previous cops, and I swear there's a coffee ring on every piece of paper in this place. I wouldn't be surprised if half the files in this place were missing. Not that I'd even know if they were. And this is only the precinct downtown! I don't even want to know what the other ones around the city look like.

So all you little heroes, do me a favor and don't make things harder for me then they obviously already are. I don't care what you do, so long as you stay out of my way.

....

The hell? Who drops cotton swabs in the printer?! Dumb so--

Need help cleaning the place up, officer?

[truthstarantula.livejournal.com]

COP?

You are not allowed to beat me up.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

But there's more of us than you. We can help you!

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

I think I've got things under control. But if you want to stop by and help clean, be my guest.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Then obviously don't give me a reason to.

[ofsteel.livejournal.com]

I might. It'll be a good start to getting a form of civilian law enforcement underway.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Listen kid. The last I checked, cops went by a different rule book then superheroes.

Where I come from, supers have to register with the government. We have to follow laws, too!

They wouldn't even let me fly without a license.

In a weird way I'm rather relieved that the police force is rebuilding. Wouldn't be sport without it, and really someone does have to more... reprehensible criminals in their place.

Also if a crotchety elder Interpol agent named Koichi Zenigata shows up could you offer him a job? It's not going to be the same without the old man chasing me.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Just because I'm currently the only one on the force doesn't mean that I'll be offering people jobs. If he's Interpol then he'll know how to get a damn job himself.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Now if only people in this city actually wanted to join the force, because that would really help.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Well this isn't where you came from. Do whatever it is that you do and stay out of my way, unless you plan on studying law.

And if I need help from you or anyone else I'll be sure to let you all know.

[immortalitea.livejournal.com]

You'll need to tell me exactly where your way is, so that I can stay out of it.

[ofsteel.livejournal.com]

Give them time. From what I'm hearing, they've suffered a big scare. If there's any chance another police force would disappear, I wouldn't be eager to get on board, either.

Our usual purpose is to make things easier for you, not harder. I don't have plans to deviate from the norm.

If you're at the downtown precinct, we should focus our patrols on the outlying ones.

[my-names-jonas.livejournal.com]

If there are no other police officers, how were you made a member of the force? Who hired you and oversaw your rather-brief training?

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Let's just say that my run in with supers in the past usually didn't end well.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

They've had plenty of time to get over it in my opinion. And that wont be happening again if I have anything to say about it.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

I was a cop to begin with, so I already have the training. And if there's any different laws in this city I'll figure them out soon enough.

This city has to get a new police force at some point, so I'm just starting them off. Let's just say I started myself up and left some transfer papers with City Hall.

You do realize that, if you were brought through the teleporter, you're a super too? It seems to be giving the unpowered powers.

[my-names-jonas.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

I'm not. The thing didn't give me any powers.

[greenarrowtoo.livejournal.com]

None that you know of yet.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Looking at what got teleported with me, I'd say that I'm probably not going to be getting any powers.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

The lack of a police force isn't enough to get me to change jobs.

[truthstarantula.livejournal.com]

Why would I give anyone a reason to beat me up? Cops just always want to beat me up.

Except for that one. I think she wanted to have sex with me.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

If you see me doing my job, which from the looks of things will be 24/7 keep to yourself. Or there might be trouble.

[allaboutamask.livejournal.com]

Right.

And they were just pissed off because you're such a model citizen.
