[ A very blonde, young face appears on the screen. He is charming and personable enough but looks very much cookie-cutter type in terms of outfit and presence. He’s channeling less suave boy next door, but more newscaster for the 6 o’clock news. Think your grandpa going golf on a Sunday morning kind of vibes. ]
Good day. I am Dimitri.
Following the announcement of the huge bounty tied to the kidnapping of Finance Wolf Kaberou Kannazaki’s daughter, several bounty hunters have made it their business to claim the cash reward tied to her recovery. As a matter of public safety, it is in our best interest to detain these independent bounty-hunters before it escalates in the city.
I propose an operation to make use of the city’s robust network – to create fake advertisements, print or online or by word of mouth, to lure them locations around the city where they can be apprehended and detained with force, if necessary. The advertisements need not be sophisticated. As hunters are motivated by greed and money, it is enough that it contains a reference to having a party of sorts that they can join to navigate the Wastelands, and a decent offer to split the rewards amongst themselves after. Online it is easier to track such interest, but we can utilize whatever method of spreading the word in order to pick up others as well.
[ Dimitri says this in a matter-of-fact way. He tilts his head and adds, rather thoughtfully, ] Of course, it is understood that not all would accept the bait. However, for whatever number we can corral and detain, more will always follow given that all of them are united with the same goal. And the more we detain as a department, the more it will stand as a warning to others and dissuade them from acting foolishly – at least, one hopes. [ He has a wry smile on his face when he says this. ] I leave it up to my colleagues for more creative ways of finding the rest of the troublemakers headed to the Wastelands.
If we move quickly before these hunters make alliances amongst themselves, we can nip the problem in the bud and maintain order in the city. [ a pause, and then he adds, ] Or before other Factions can lay credit to having maintained order instead.
Any other help and suggestions would be appreciated. The plan is quite rough around the edges and will need refining, and I am prepared to be schooled for it to be more effective where necessary.
I will be responding in text unless requested otherwise. Feel free to chat in the comments as you wish.
To all our new co-workers: welcome. I look forward to working with you.
[ feed off. ]
ooc: log to follow! it'll probably be up in the weekend.

I will keep in mind the staffing. It would be easier if we serve them under one charge and therefore only the more extreme cases would need a different affidavit served, however.

I’m willing to take point on documentation and paperwork if Barok is willing to sign off on my work.
no subject
I imagine we'll hear from him soon enough. I will engage other lieutenants as well if needed.
no subject
What’s your background in operations like this?
[He sure looks young.]
no subject
I come from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. The year is 1120 before I was here.
I work closely with the knights to maintain peace and order in the kingdom, and have been in my maiden battle two years ago, as part of an operation to suppress the rebellions against the royal family in western Faerghus. I was the commander of a battalion.
no subject
Pretty noteworthy credentials for a man your age, by my time’s standards.
What did suppressing the rebellion involve?
*1180 not 1120 i'm fucking dumb
You can imagine what that entails. The royal family has its own share of critics. Since then, they have been made to understand their role in the Kingdom permanently.
No worries, I knew what you meant. Love your Dima!!
How did you feel about that personally? It may be your duty, but surely you had some feeling about the people who chose to retaliate against their monarch.
no subject
As for myself, I don't find it ideal as to how it was settled. But I understand the necessity of dissent; it just so happens that the hand of the kingdom is heavy in its purport and its intended lesson. And too heavy, sometimes.
no subject
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a heavily suppressed rebellion that didn’t inspire a resurgence later. The prince will have his work cut out for him.
Do you have anything like sting operations at home?
no subject
[ he has to answer this one carefully because he is aware of one, the one he's carrying out before he got here against his weird uncle. lol. ]
There is no shortage of hidden and active crimes committed in Faerghus, whether against the royal family or its people. I am familiar with such efforts. It is not my favoured tactic, but it can be effective.
no subject
And thank you for answering my questions. It’s important to me that I have a full accounting of who I’m doing work for.
no subject
We work together, Kim.
no subject
Must be a pretty big change for you, too, from 1180 to now. [Or whatever the equivalent is when the kingdom names aren’t the same.] A whole lot more in the way of due process.
