Current Mood: working

Discedo City Watch/Citizen Defense

~~I'm going to get smacked for this if it needed Mod Approval...~~

After the ghost event and seeing how little was done to help the affected, Hitsugaya kind of got upset. FF!Seifer brought up the Police Force, and HItsugaya has gotten the idea to patch it up and get it back up and running. Not to the extent it used to be, though. Instead of being like the police forces on Earth, it would more be about the defense of all the citizens. Keeping things organized in case of an attack or disaster, offering protection if they wanted it, and just keeping an eye on the city. Basically, a city watch, if you would.

Now, I went through both PlayMyAce and Discedo_Logs and I couldn't find anything recent related to the police, or the police station. The characters connected to leading it seem to have dropped from the game, as far as I could tell. If I'm wrong, please correct me so I can change or drop the plan. I don't want to cause any trouble. ~~Especially since FF!Seifer mentioned somone might be living in the station and Discedo's rooming list doesn't say who...~~

So, if the plan goes through, the services offered are explained below

Patrolling the city to keep an eye on the monsters
Offering protective services to anyone who requests them
Keeping as much documentation as possible of any events that affect the city (Is paper still scarce?)
Creating safe routes too and from the major populated areas in the city in case of another disaster event

If anyone (and I do mean anyone) wants to join in or suggest something, please, feel free.

These are the posts related to the police force. /o/ One of them contains a list of police force members (although it's a little outdated), another one consists of contact information and what have you.

Either way, a new organization post is definitely a good thing, even if it's not exactly a police force.

A little outdated may be an understatement, but thank you. Even if nearly everyone there has dropped from Discedo, every little bit of info helps.

Now, to figure out how NOT to piss anyone off.

Yeeeah, they were written a few months ago. :x But yes, at least it's something. And you can always PM/IM those people to get information out of them.

I really doubt anyone is going to get angry. It's not the police force -- it's something else. It should be okay, but there's nothing wrong with double checking with one of the mods.

~~Also, paper is still scarce. It's there, but most of it isn't clean. Plus Tohma is stealing it alllll.~~

But yes! If this goes through, you can throw [Bad username or site: stopwatchrose title= @ livejournal.com] onto this list. I'll probably poke the rest of the Utena cast and be all "Heeeey. Come protect the city! 8D"

Yeah, unfortunately there's nothing particularly current with regards to the police force. I think Adri was trying to do something with Eli and the force though, and that's the most recent thing I can recall. A lot of it's fallen through in the past due to lack of interest (IC/OOCly) and characters dropping combined with the overall aim being far too complicated.

So, something simpler -- something like what you've suggested, would probably be better, and if it lacks the tag of 'police force', part of me thinks it might have a greater chance of success ICly since, for some reason, it seemed a lot of characters had a knee jerk reaction of JESUS CHRIST A POLICE FORCE DON'T WANT ONE OF THOSE. Titles and names can make all the difference.

That said and done, if you have any questions related to the law aspect of Discedo from... way back when, I'd be happy to heeeelp. And police, although I was more involved in the lawyer aspect.

(As an aside and from a character perspective, I'd tentatively like to say this is something the Master would try to get involved in. Not the physical, clearing of the monsters side or anything, but a more kind of I AM IN CHARGE, POWEEEEEER sense -- by which I mean he could do organisation and giving orders. He was in charge of the MoD for a period in canon, he has ~experience~. Plus power. And trust! That he would inevitably later betray because he Likes To Lie.)

I'll be sure to drop them a line when it's not 2:33 AM Central US time. hehe...finals week isn't going to help.

Again, I'll contact one of the mods tomorrow. I doubt anyone's awake right now.

Noted~ I shall add him to the tentative list.

Silly. 3:36AM and I am awake. |D Oh, May. Why are you full of finals? 8<

I'm excited to see how this turns out. ♥

I did find another person with intrest in getting the force back up and running, but it seems that idea got dropped, as well.

Oh, don't I know it. I read some early posts before I joined the game, and not many people actually liked the police force.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you. ^^

(And, character wise? The Master's idea of "POWEEEEER" is going to send alarm bells ringing in Hitsu's head for quite a while, but he'll appreciate the help.)

I have no idea. Good luck, though!

♥ You shall be among the first to know~

/slowly tracks entry

Well, hopefully some more people will crawl out of the woodwork with this post /laugh

(Well, he won't be going POWEEEER which, by the way, is far better when you imagine Jeremy Clarkson saying it, he'll just be all OH B-T-W, I HAVE EXPERIENCE. FANCY SOME HELP? Unless, of course, the fact that he Is Not To Be Trusted shines through. Or the Doctor says something sob)

Edited 2010-05-04 07:52 (UTC)

I'm hoping they will by morning. Goodness knows this place is big.

(Either way, Hitsu's gonna be wary. The Master is probably going to at least slightly remind him of a certain bad person...and that isn't going to be pretty)

Loool Hitsugaya why do you let Seifer play you like this fff Seifer'll be happy if something gets put together though.

I think Barbara Gordon might be living in the police station. I'm not certain, but during the last event when Seifer went to help her that's where he picked her up from.

Far as police goes, this (http://community.livejournal.com/discedo_ooc/1615919.html) was the last OOC discussion post I remember about the police (if you follow the link on Phoenix's post it'll take you to the previous recent discussion posts).

I'm not entirely certain what's been decided (if anything), but the last IC post regarding the police force I recall is Edgeworth's here (http://verily-ergo.livejournal.com/14872.html#cutid1).

And for IC interest,

snipers_shot still considers himself part of the police force. I thiiiink

muncalot is still on as a crime scene investigator? Though I wouldn't quote me on that. And I'm not certain what

notquitecap is doing, but I've gotten the impression he's up ICly for whatever as long as there's a just police force? Not too certain on that one. OH and I think

beseriousannie has mentioned/offered ICly before to be willing to do paperwork for the police if they ever get around to needing it.

As far as characters willing to help, out of mine, umm well Seifer's a jerk so he would refuse to be on any official record for it, but I'm sure he'd be around... generally, particularly during disaster events he'd be willing to take orders. Canute though would be willing though Hitsugaya might have to explain things to him here and there.

xP Becuase Hitsu's not good with people.

I'll be sure and drop her a line, then. Thanks for that. ^^

More people to contact about this, then. Thank you for the info~

I'll be sure to keep those three in the loop, then. Don't want anyone to feel left out.

pfft, Seifer you amuse me. And Hitsu has some experience with the explaining of things. He didn't get to be captain of the ONLY squad dealing with Arrancars for his pretty face alone, ya know~

Sadly the police have sort of vanished due to lack of organization and real interest. But, Hans here would still be glad to help out in an administrative sort of way. He offered up to do paper work and organizational type things with the force before, and would gladly do it for a city watch as well.

As for paper, it's a bit scarce unless you make it or ask for it. Hans has some blank books he's been using though, so records can be kept.

I have another character

guardianofman who would probably gladly help out with some of those things if needed especially helping people during emergencies and creating safe routs and other things, though he probably wouldn't join outright.

People with too much on thier plates and not enough forethought, that's all. It happens to the best of us, no matter what we do.

Always need someone to man the books, after all. Those books can be worse then the monsters themselves.

They don't to be the most extensive records, just a basic idea of what happened and how it ended/was stopped, so if it happens again, not so many people will panic. Though, from what I've seen, Discedo never has the exact same event twice.

I shall add him to the list, then. Volunteer instead of actual member, perhaps?

Hans is sort of anal when it comes to doing things "properly" so if he gets to keep the books they will be perfect and detailed!

Volunteer would be good. Or, like on call guy.

They're all his, then. Hopefully he won't run out of paper very quickly.

It shall be noted. ^^ Thanks for the help.

I had mentioned, lightly, that I was going to toss Joseph into the mix of things in regards to security. And given that it's Toshirou getting things started, the ever stoic TESTAMENT might actually ~~get off his lazy philosopher's ass~~ become more community-minded and help out too.

I'm sure he'll figure out a way to keep it up. Even if it's ripping up the damaged books from the library to make new paper.

Not a problem~

Hopefully Joseph won't mind patrolling for monsters/making safe routes too and from the apartments/Northern Lights/any defensible location.

Aww, did Hitsu make an impression on stoic Testament? xP

Nah he's totally cool with that. He enjoys punching stuff.

And yes, yes he did.

I'll keep that in mind. Should I add him to the list, then?

...well, that's a pleasant shock.

Yes!

It happens.

HEY! Echoing what Sia (Master-mun) said. Edgeworth is currently attempting to get records together so he can better help in planning something exactly like this, so I'll definitely be willing to throw him your way--although he's... more the planning/talking/intelligence type, he's... very tired of nothing getting done.

Lelouch won't be happy about it, but Nunnally will be willing to help with what she can (which won't be much...probably lie detecting and that's it).

Paper is...meh? Probably best to ask the scientists for that.
