Good afternoon, imports. [ Oh hey, it's the mayor dressed back in a suit, and looking about as professional as usual. He has a grim smile on his face, and the comm is obviously placed on his mayoral desk, Mitchell on the other side. ]

I know it's been a very interesting two weeks, and I'm very sorry for my lack of presence. Unfortunately, it seems I'm just as human as anyone else, and found myself out of comission. I'm happy to say that as of today, I'm back in the Mayor's seat, and I'm proud of the way the City administration came together in a time when things weren't so certain. Each of the members of City Hall were exemplary during the past few weeks, and I think we can all agree that it's a godsend that I have so many talented and brilliant people here in City Hall.

[ He shuffles then, and looks down at his papers. ]

And while I know it's April Fools, there's something serious I need to address. Recently information came out about the police force. I'm disheartened to say that the force acted outside of the law in response to certain crises, and while I have always supported the police force, and hoped that they would always act with decorum, we're making sure that a full investigation is acted out over the next few weeks. Nobody should fear the cops, and I hope that most in the city will agree with me that the charges of torture are inexcusable. If they prove true, we will begin a closer look at the force, and begin implementing measures to ensure that there's greater oversight for not just the members of the police force, but also for the good of the City itself.

If anyone does have any information, I urge them to speak up about it. Any information can bring a speedy conclusion to this problem, and we can get the right people to the police force.

[ He pauses, still grim, before starting to reach out to the grab the comm, but there's a shift, and while reached out, Mitchell isn't in his suit anymore, he's in a really goofy getup. Helmet, jetpack, and all. He stops, looking at his hand, mouth opening, before: ]

Motherfu--

COMMUNICATOR, OFF.

[It's definitely from Sherlock's comm. But he's... twelve..?

Also he's pretty much ignoring all the serious stuff in this post. Who cares about police right now? They never listen to him anyway.]

Oh good, you're okay then. I don't think the costume really suits you, though.

[viced]

[ Uh. Is that Sherlock? No, that's some fucking kid. There's a sound of something heavy hitting the desk. ]

Definitely not. [ BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS HAHAHA ]

Never a dull day in the City. Who are you, again? Where's Sherlock?

[Blue is carrying a bunch of files into the office, which is now Mitchell's again, but he doesn't expect to see his real boss. He puts the papers down and peers over them and-]

Mr. Mayor!

[If he had a tail it would be wagging, because he's now hugging Mitch. Sorry.]

[viced]

Blue-- oof!

[ Mitch is caught off guard, still in his Great Machine gear, which is totally awkward, but his helmet's off, but that really doesn't help his image. ]

Hey there, pal.

You're doing what?

[Not even paying attention to the costume by this point. It's the City, he'll roll with it.]

We're investigating the allegations, Jack. Something that serious can't be let go.

[newbvampire]

We did our job and that creep Stiles is just trying to make us look bad. Do you even care he almost killed half the force with that bomb?

Voice

[viced]

Of course I fucking care! The fact of the matter is that we still have to investigate all allegations.

voice. private.

[inthenickoftime]

I couldn't agree more, sir.

Trust me when I say there's at least one officer taking this extremely seriously.

voice. encrypted.

[viced]

That's good to hear. I want to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch.

It's Officer Angel, correct?

(video.)

[solidorkable]

How is it that these things happen to you, Mitchell?

(voice.)

[viced]

Bad fucking luck, obviously.

[carbonite]

The police acting outside their jurisdiction? Say it isn't so.

[viced]

Hopefully it isn't so.

video; because he is like, too busy gossiping with office girls to action

[doubleoohbaby]

What the fuck was that?

VOICE

[viced]

[ FUUUUUUUU ]

I don't fucking know!

[hacktivist]

This development does not surprise me. Your imPort police force is mainly comprised of thugs, murderers and cutthroats.

[Ghost isn't really helping. At all.]

comment not here

[hellionated]

[ But he's kind of weirded out that there's something he agrees with Ghost on... ]

permavid

[hellionated]

[ Wow. ] Nice helmet.

[ That's not why he's here though. ]

Are you seriously surprised about that report? Everyone knows there's corruption in the police. Everyone always did know.

permavoice

[viced]

And if you knew, you should have spoken up. We can't combat anything on suspicion. If there was concrete evidence, direct them to the investigators.
