Good morning everyone,
I'm supporting some continuing cleanup activity for the Nonah police, relating to the vandalism. If you see any more, or have noticed new problems come up, you can let me know. I can't imagine a party being what stops upset people from expressing their feelings like this, so...
(This offer is OK for other cities too! I've talked to each hub city's police commissioners about my offer and gotten the green light to support)

Also...if you're not feeling safe in your neighborhood, let me know. I can talk to some of the staff who assign patrol rotations and see if things can be moved around. It might not be too much, but it's something that can help.

That's all for right now I think...thank you for your support!

THIS IS VERY KIND OF YOU, MANABU.
IF YOU GET TOO MUCH WORK AND NEED A QUIET NIGHT, I'LL LOOK AFTER SCOUT FOR A COUPLE NIGHTS IF YOU WANT.

[siriusly]

I'll keep the offer in mind, I appreciate that...
So far, he's been pretty eager to come along on canvasing jobs. Thinks he's a K-9 or something haha...but at least it does wear him out a good bit.

[h2no]

AIN'T NOTHING BETTER TO GET SIGNATURES THAN A PUPPY.

[siriusly]

You might be right about that.
But in any case, thank you. I think I should be OK, but I'll rely on you if I need the extra hand. [granted, he'd have to be half-dead to admit he needs help. but. look. shut up.]

[h2no]

YOU GOT IT, KID.
BE CAREFUL.
DON'T UPSET BRENDAN.

[siriusly]

[?? ? confused bark??] What? Did something else happen?

[h2no]

NO, BUT HE LIKES YOU.
I FEEL LIKE SEEING YOU PASSED OUT ON THE NEWS WOULD UPSET HIM.

[siriusly]

I'm not going to pass out on the news...

[h2no]

YOU KNOW, I SAID THE SAME THING.
THEN I DID.

It's lovely that you're doing such nice charitable work, darling. Well done!

[siriusly]

It's not really charity if it's part of my training, is it? Well...kind of. Even if I volunteered it, it's still part of getting used to the roles an officer has here.
Nothing new hit the house since the party, right? I didn't notice any fresh dents on the mailbox...

[marriedmedium]

Now, don't be so humble! It's still doing good deeds, and that's what's important! And thinks are just fine at home, although we are running low on Merlot.

[siriusly]

[oh, jeez.]

Just Merlot, or should I make a stop on the way home to pick some stuff up?

[marriedmedium]

Oh, don't trouble yourself! I have a liquor boy who'll bring it by later.

[siriusly]

...Liquor boy?
That's not like a milk man is it?

[marriedmedium]

Is the milk man the person who stocks jugs at the supermarkets? In any case, Tommy picks up an order for me after I've called it in and brings it by if I'm unable to pop in myself.

[siriusly]

Oh.
So that's Tommy, not just us getting mail randomly more than once a day huh...

Been pretty quiet here so far, but that might not mean a whole lot. Let me know if you need any help, I'm right in Nonah too.

[siriusly]

I appreciate that!
Are you also helping out the local law enforcement?

[flightforfreedom]

Was helping out the fire department, earlier, so I've been trying but it's a weird system for me to navigate. Not like home.

Is there an easy way to communicate with them rather than just trying to show up when they're there?

[siriusly]

Haha I know what you mean. It's really confusing in places...
For fire? I'm not actually sure. It's possible the city ambassador has a name for that one. As for police...I guess you could talk to me? Since I'm studying here to join the force.

[flightforfreedom]

Oh really? I didn't even realise we could, but then again, I've been military my whole life and the rules are a bit different. What's it like?

[siriusly]

It's...tricky.
I mean, the process isn't really tricky. You have to interview, take a preliminary exam, have certain learning and license requirements beforehand...procedural things like that, which makes sense. Not just anyone deserves to have a badge and serve.
It's more that the atmosphere is very hard to navigate right now. Some people are glad to have me there, trying. Others think I'm some kind of spy, trying to sabotage the force.
Being an imPort...I already get special treatment. So even though I'm trying to do this from the ground up, the deck is already stacked in some ways I have to try and fix.
I don't know what your military was like, especially if you were seeing a lot of combat, but I think...or rather I hope it wasn't as full of red tape. So you could actually do the job and help, I mean.

[flightforfreedom]

That sounds really frustrating, to be honest.

And I wish I could tell you it was different. But the Fleet had just as much red tape. It wasn't until I joined the Resistance that I felt I could actually do anything.

As for special treatment - you were also kidnapped against your will. Super 'special'.

[siriusly]

Kidnapped is...one way to put it I guess...but that would mean I hold it against the people I'm trying to help out and work with. Like they chose to put me here. That's not really the case. A lot of this is out of everyone's hands from what I can tell...
