hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

That's fair. They're not for everyone. They do, however, do much to eliminate any disadvantage in strength. Depending on age, getting a concealed carry permit might be difficult, so perhaps it's best to focus on hand-to-hand training then. I can't really help with that, unfortunately.

[optimistical]

It's all right. I appreciate the help! I'm 22 so I don't know if getting a concealed permit would be that much trouble for me but like I said, I don't think it'd be a good fit for me. It definitely would have been useful though, since I'm not particularly strong or big.

Do you own a gun?

[truedetective]

Ah, yes.
It belonged to my father.

I'm still too young to have a concealed carry permit myself, so I primarily just practice with it at the range.

I, too, am neither strong nor large, so having a force equalizer is helpful.

[optimistical]

I wonder if you'll be allowed to use it if we have another monster invasion. I feel like even if you don't have a concealed carry permit, the situation is reasonable enough to carry it around.

[truedetective]

To be perfectly honest, if it came to that, I would likely ask forgiveness rather than permission.

[optimistical]

I've heard that there are some officers on the app so I guess they would probably be more lenient on things like that? Since they'll be able to recognize that monsters aren't a normal thing.

[truedetective]

Oh, yes. I have no doubt in my mind that those officers would turn a blind eye; they know me, after all. It's those who aren't Awakened that I'm concerned with.

[optimistical]

Have you run into trouble with those officers yet? The ones who aren't Awakened?

[truedetective]

No, I haven't.
That said, I try to keep myself on the correct side of the law as much as possible, so I haven't exactly had the opportunity to do so just yet.

[optimistical]

That's probably for the best. I don't think meeting with the officers by breaking the law will leave a good first impression.

[truedetective]

Oh, it wouldn't be a first impression. I work with them on a weekly basis. A sort of internship program. Which makes it all the more important to stay on the level.

[optimistical]

Really? What kind of work do you do with them?

[truedetective]

As I said, effectively intern work. I'm training to be a detective on the job, so to speak.

[optimistical]

A detective? Wow, I didn't know you could intern for something like that

[truedetective]

It's somewhat...
...custom?
My family has history at this precinct, so I suppose you could call it a favor.

[optimistical]

I see. So I guess if I go down to the station, I wouldn't be able to get myself an internship like that?

[truedetective]

Probably not, I'm afraid. I have no doubts that my family history is the only reason they even considered it.
Is it something you'd be interested in?

[optimistical]

No, I'm not really good at solving mysteries or anything like that. I was thinking more for my friend.

She remembered that she was a detective in her other life and that she felt more... like she needed to solve things after she remembered? She's not on the network anymore but I figured that maybe if she comes back, I could have let her known.

[truedetective]

I see. That's very kind of you to do. I suppose it certainly couldn't hurt to ask. That I've done it might make it more possible for them to do it for other youths in the future. The worst they can say is no, correct?

[optimistical]

Yeah, you're right. I can ask anyway and see where I can go from there.

Thanks, I appreciate it! :)
