[LOCKED TO DEPARTMENT OF ENMA] Voice; UN: jsarchivist

[eyediot]

[The voice that speaks is English, posh, and sounds utterly exhausted and done with everything at the moment. Still a pleasant voice to listen to though. Could read a phone book and make it sound nice.]

I have, against all better judgment, been tasked with welcoming the new members to the Department of Enma.

Welcome. [It sounds less like an actual welcome and more "this is scripted and I am required to say the word 'welcome' somewhere in this."] This faction is for city departments with most of you being funneled directly into the law enforcement branch whether you like it or not. There is, unfortunately, no direct way to transfer out of this department until you have been part of the system for several weeks and even then it is not a guarantee. And that alone is a frustrating process. However, there are other departments within this building that you can find work in, such as the legal department if that is more your particular specialty.

The department is given the great burden of trying to keep order in the City amongst the other factions. It's a futile effort given the amount of problems that arise, but nonetheless you will be expected to assist in times of need. If you find the Department does not pay enough for your living expenses, I've been told you are welcome to get a second job. There is also provided assigned living quarters that are borderline adequate that you are still paying for yourself.

My name is Jonathan Sims. I work in the records and archives department. I will not answer your questions, however, superior officer Lieutenant Julieta Juris will be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has. She is experienced and has been here for some time now. I can provide directions and her office hours if new recruits need.

[Is he throwing Julieta under the bus?

Maybe so. Maybe next time don't voluntell him to do this after you argue with him over whether or not being dead is an “excuse” to “give up” working in a department he hates from the outset and just accept his transfer request the first time.]

We are currently investigating a kidnapping that happened at the most recent festival. We have some leads as to the whereabouts, but are still looking into some details.

I suppose that's everything. Good luck. Again, I will not answer your questions, but please feel free to direct all inquiries to Superior Officer Lieutenant Julieta Juris.


[ooc; Open to all Enma folks, threadjack, go wild!]

We have a small group of personnel looking into the Wastelands, starting with the Department's own archives. You interested?

[osteoderm]

If you're offering, certainly. I take it there hasn't been much interest in the Wastelands thus far, until the most recent events?

[killtime]

If the Archivist can tolerate you, then sure. Why the fuck not. [ Her tone is the verbal equivalent of a shrug. ] If anyone's been interested in the Wastelands before this, I haven't heard about it.

[osteoderm]

I won't endeavor to get on their bad side, at the very least. [ he sounds a bit amused by the idea, really. not that he isn't aware he can be a bit much to handle for some... ] Everybody being content inside the city thus far is surprising, but I suppose it has it's rewards, yes? It begs the question what is- or isn't- out there.

[killtime]

It's busy around here. [ A bit dryly: ] Maybe we'd all be exploring more if there wasn't a near-apocalyptic event in this fucking city every other week.

[osteoderm]

It does seem a little...short-staffed. [ or underqualified for most things, perhaps, but he'll keep that one to himself. ] Is that something I should be preparing myself for, pre-emptively? At the very least, I'm good at working under pressure. Adrenaline helps the brain work in ways you wouldn't expect.
