[TL;DR ahoy. She was going to put this up using video, the better to cow all of you into submission with her stern glare, but then realized that she might get a bit long-winded.]

It has come to my attention that a number of you have been taking the theoretical aspects of partnerships for granted - or fail to truly grasp the meaning of being half of a partnership. I have talked to at least one child who believes that he can survive a witch encounter even after flunking our "pretend" classes. I have attempted to rectify this viewpoint, but I am not certain if my admonitions were able to sink through his thick skull.

Now, take heed. Witch missions are restricted to three-star, and with good reason. They are far too powerful for beginner technicians. As of this stage in your training, none of you will escape unharmed if a witch were to fight you with the intent to kill. Our best chance of preparing you for such an encounter would be to raise you to at least two-stars, or even three-stars, as quickly as possible, and this is where theory comes in.

Meister and weapon promotion isn't only dependent on how "badass" you are on the battlefield. We also need to consider your knowledge, your experience, maturity and understanding of your partnership and all concepts of paired combat. It might seem tedious and a waste with our lack of time, but it is exactly because we are pressed for time that we need to make sure that you fully comprehend your responsibilities as a meister or a weapon sooner rather than later. The meister moves in combat, the weapon takes their wavelengths and amplifies both into a single force capable of cutting through our enemies. Neither is more important than the other, and there are some of you who keep thinking otherwise. If you can't understand and accept even this simplest of concepts, then you won't be able to resonate and fight effectively on the field.

To be fair, we were forced to stop giving specialized classes because the staff is shorthanded at the moment. We will try to put up the new system as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, this doesn't mean that you can't sit in with the regular classes, or that you should grow complacent and believe that you can't do any reading or practicing on your own. Do not stop learning, and listen to us--or at least respect our experience, as the veterans in this war. Your survival might depend on it.

I want to dress up for Halloween! I've heard that people give out candy if you go around costumes.

But I don't know what I should dress up as... All the nonsense I saw in the stores looked stupid or ugly. And it was all for adults, too....

What do girls normally dress up as? Is there anything cute I could be~?

Yo Watch members.

Vriska has been spotted. I'm in the Outer Residential District right now and I just saw...Katsura, I believe giving chase. She appears to be armed with a Weapon but I can't tell exactly what it is from this distance. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious and you guys have something planned out or already know but figured I'd give a heads up just in case.

((ooc; this post comes later in the evening, the chase is still on but getting it up early at request and since I have a 7 hour train ride coming up |D;; so yea, responses will be very delayed))

[This post goes up directly after Rise’s in the evening. Here’s Roy again - he’s at home, but he’s dressed up to go. Also looking very serious. Dojima, in the meantime, is in the background, leaning against the door frame of their bedroom and watching Roy at work - he’s on his feet, amazingly, and looking better than he did the LAST time he showed up on the network. ...Still sick, though.]

Vriska Serket has been spotted by one of our men - she's wanted for a crime levied against one of the residents here. I want everyone to try and stay indoors, and avoid contact with her. We of the Watch have an operation underway to catch her before this night ends, and we’d like, as much as possible, for the rest of you to let us handle this.


Filtered | The Agency;

I need visuals on Vriska while she’s on the run. Would you mind giving me access to that sort of information for the duration of this operation? I’ll be on the move, so I’ll need to see this from my PDA while I’m tracking her.


Filtered | Rise Kujikawa;

Thanks for the head’s up. We’ll take it from here.


Cut for length, and some Awkward. )
