Well, it's funny how quickly time flies when you're having fun, isn't it? [ Oh there's so much sarcasm there. He's had such a great week. Actually, there's a pretty annoyed edge to his tone. ]

I want to thank eveyrone who's stayed calm over the past week and a half. The way the community's pulled together has been really inspiring. I know I can't speak on a national scale, or even a state-wide scale [ :( ] but I can assure you that as a city, we're going to make sure that we have procedures in place, and that we can do everything we can to ensure both the safety of both the natives, and you. If anyone has any suggestions, my brand new communicator's on, and my door's open, so I'd be happy to entertain any ideas.

That being said, please remember that the authorities are out there to help you, and if you suspect something shitty's going down, I'd encourage you to report it to the people you trust the most, as well as the police.

[ A small pause. He taps a pen on the table. ]

Stay safe out there, and let's pray we're overreacting.

Just trying for some conversation.

[viced]

That's not exactly appropriate conversation, James. Can't we talk about, oh, I don't know, the weather?

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

The weather? I realise I'm British, sir, but that's surprisingly not a subject I find much interest in.

encrypted;

[viced]

Well shit, with most people from our country, it's a topic of heated debate!

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

There must be something better to discuss.

encrypted;

[viced]

How about the fucking crisis on our doorstep?

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

Which one?

encrypted;

[viced]

Which one?

Which one? Are you being fucking serious?

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

Well. I had quite the crisis deciding on which tie to wear this morning.

encrypted;

[viced]

Boo fucking hoo! James, you know what I'm talking about.

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

You really do need to stop worrying about it.

encrypted;

[viced]

Stop worrying? James, that's my goddamn job is to worry, and then come up with the best solution possible!

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

Valid point, sir. One can only hope you're not one of them.

encrypted;

[viced]

I'm pretty sure I'd be a bit much for them to handle to impersonate, James.

encrypted;

[doubleoohbaby]

I've heard they're rather good at all that.
