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

[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!]

I cannot speak for all machines, much as you cannot speak for all organic life.

[Gosh Thoma, you can't just be robot racist like that.]

However, I find it to be a necessary descriptor. You are human for example. A human and a non-human entity could share some life experiences so long as you are both organic. Eating. Sleeping. Injury. Therefore, I could not describe certain behaviours of yours as "human" but "organic".

[He's sorry he doesn't understand machines at all!!!]

Oh, ah, sorry about that. I'm really new to all this advanced technology, and I don't really know how the rules work. But, I see what you mean there...you'll have to accept my apology for being so short sighted on the matter.

Though, when I think about it, your existence alone is pretty neat. That means that machines and humans...or maybe organics...live together then?

[He's looking at this from the positive side of things, this guy definitely isn't a killer robot or anything, right?]

I was created by my inventor to be a weapon of war. I did not coexist with anyone.

[At this point, not even his creator. Once he glitched his way into sentience he locked the guy up and turned traitor.

Didn't kill him, though...so maybe there was some lingering attachment, small as it may have been.

Even that we are communicating now was brought about by my own hand. I was not built with the capability of speech.

[At the very least he doesn't sound like he cares all that much. It's all spoken plainly, matter-of-fact.]

[Ohhh, oh...this got a lot darker than he was expecting. But it's ok, everyone lives or...exists in their life their own way, and Metal Sonic is no exception! Though, he definitely feels like he should be way more nervous than he was originally.]

So you broke away and created the ability to speak for yourself, that's great! At least you don't have to be forced into fighting in a war if you don't want to now.

[Listen, that's a win as far as he's concerned. War is messy and awful.]

Correct.
mechspeed: (but it's fine if you'd just drown)

That is why I will cooperate with the department, crush our opponents and fulfill my contract with the Enma.

[At least now he's CONSENTING to the war! Hooray for freedom.]

[CONSENT IS ALWAYS GOOD HE GUESSES...]

Have you uh, ever thought about just talking it through?

[It's a life skill!!!!!]
mechspeed: (because both of them are artificial)

For what purpose? Violence is the most efficient route in conflict resolution.
