[And here's another post from Mustang, over at the DOGS office.]

Looks like it's business as usual down here, beyond the string of disappearances. Has anyone else gone missing lately?

That said, some members of the Watch were among those who have gone back home. I'd like to remind to everyone that our organization could always use more people. Feel free to sign up if you want to help us out, or if you'd just be willing to let us call on you whenever we need an extra hand.


Filter: Shibusen;

I think BREW might be bringing in a new batch within the next few days. We should probably prepare for that.

[A beat.]

Death the Kid, Spirit: I have a request.


Filter: The Watch;

A good number of our own have returned home, from the looks of it - that means a number of shifts are not being covered. I'll need to know who'd be willing to fill in for the empty slots.

On a related note, until I can find a pair to replace Date and Dante, Lady and I will take command of Outer Residential Quarter III. Patrolmen assigned to this zone: I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know the moment you get this message.

Beyond that, I'm still on the market for people interested in joining Flynn Scifo as seconds-in-command to the Watch.


Filter: Toph Bei Fong and Temeraire;

Carmine's disappearance has left your Zone Leader without a partner, and therefore unable to properly fulfill his duties. Until he finds a partner, I'll need the two of you to take over the area.


Filter: Katsura and Gintoki / Neji and Lain;

The four of you make up the most experienced pairs we have at hand. Would any of you be willing to fill in the vacancy I mentioned?


Filter: Cloud Strife;

Mind if your old boss asks for a favor from you?


Filter: Lady;

I hope you don't mind the sudden Zone Leader appointment. On another note, you free on the 6th?

[This is a little later after Stein's class. Genesis is still in a solemn mood after losing Carmine-- after all, she was somehow more than just a partner for him. Some could have even thought that they were lovers from how intimate they acted with each other, but Genesis knows better. Their relationship was something unique. But he has to move on and continue to fulfill his duties.]

Carmine Zuigiber has been returned by BREW. [A breath.] She was my meister... and a person most dear to me.

As the Zone Leader of the Red Light District, I still have a duty to fulfill with the Watch-- and I still feel myself committed to fighting alongside Shibusen in this war. I can't accomplish either of these without a Meister.

[It's hard to notice in the way he carries himself, but admitting this is like tearing off all his pride for a moment to kowtow and beg for help. As this is his third time searching for a Meister, each word he speaks to ask for a partner stings.]

I'm willing to partner with whoever sees themselves fit to wield a large sword. But I would also want to request that those who propose to partner with me must be willing to work alongside me as a Zone Leader, and as an active fighter in the war.

I will be at the training grounds daily if you wish to meet me face to face.

I'm sure you would have noticed by now. Your boss hasn't been feeling well. I've turned him in to the Watch. He'll be cooling his head in prison.

[He pauses here, and the ensuing silence is stony, stiff. He hasn't talked to any of the Ryodan for a while now--maybe they've been kicked out by BREW, but his luck has never been that good. God knows how they're going to react to his declaration, but he won't stand for any more trouble, not from Kuroro, and certainly not from his subordinates.]

Don't even think about trying to bust him out.

[He ends the feed without further comment.]
