This is a message for the "South Attleton Safety Society."

Fuck off. Using powers for personal gain falls under assault and is already covered by the legal code. I'm not going to outlaw people being born a certain way. Hell, if I'm being brutally honest here, the demon license I implemented was aimed primarily at one person.

Also, any heckling of or otherwise interfering with people based on some stupid notion of 'normies vs power' is going to be classified as disturbing the peace, and my deputies will arrest and fine you.

Attleton doesn't need civilians playing soldier out of boredom. Go back to making stupid complaints to my office about garden gnomes and flamingos.

You're still on that?!

[Hello Dante. It's Augustine and he's annoyed.]

This isn't about you this time, so get off your diva high horse.

Re: video;

[immortalrose]

Oh really? Yet you still felt the need to bring that incident up again.

[Look who's not denying he's a "diva".]

Not only that but keep that silly law intact.

[crimsongirl]

Who the hell are those guys?

[If it got a Guardian upset, Homura was curious.]

Video

[alwaysimpaled]

A group of people with too much time on their hands and too big for their britches.

[He does cock an eyebrow though. Not every day you see what appears to be a high school girl carrying that many swords.]

...You new around here?

Re: Video

[crimsongirl]

Sounds like a few idiots I beat up before.

And yeah, name's Homura, leader of the Crimson Squad...if they were here anyway.

[Guess who also read the newspaper and seems a little irritated by it. Rip doesn't even live in Attleton and she's annoyed.]

According to zhem, me carrying a gun for self defense vould be considered offensive to zhe 'normies' despite hafing less mobility zhan zhem during zhe day.

Are zhey idiots or just need to haf a vake up call on just how responsible zome of us are.

Openly carrying a firearm is not okay. I've not made a law about it because I figured everyone would have the common sense to not. If it becomes an issue, I will. Also, considering the crowd you run with something tells me you don't need to worry about self defense.

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

It's not like I carry my musket vith me everyvhere I go. Und besides, even zhough ve are razher good at defending ourselves, one must alvays vorry about self defense. Even a vampire like me.

[solar_flare]

Uhhh...I don't think any of those guys can see the same channels we use. But you do know there's no law enforcement there outside of citizen patrols, right? They're just doing the best they can, there's no point getting mad at them for filling the void if they're not getting any legitimate training.

[Video]

[alwaysimpaled]

That's kind of the point. I can blow off some steam, let you guys know I'm not going to do anything stupid like regulating powers without reasonable cause, and nobody gets mad that I cussed 'em out.

I guess this is where I ask if you need a hand somewhere.

Just keep an eye open. Leave the civvies alone, but don't let anyone take this SASS group as some kind of threat against the pendant bearers.

private, video; hi dante, it's ur new best friend.

[fairbrook]

( Yep... it's her again. Seems like someone has been having fun playing with the functions on her phone, but her demeanor indicates anything but. In fact, her tone is rather grave. )

I see you're already familiar with the vampire Rip van Winkle.

( Where did he get that whiskey from before? She could definitely use some about now. )

private video; at least she's not buying stuff on his tab so that's a plus

[alwaysimpaled]

[He sighs, starting to chug a fresh bottle. He goes through whiskey fast.]

Depends on what you call 'familiar.' Never met her face to face, but I've met her 'boyfriend' - an idiot that let a demon posses a kid that can blow shit up by looking at it funny - and let's just say she's not made the best of impressions.

private, video; she's too proud to make someone else pay for her, imo.

[fairbrook]

( It's good to hear Rip hasn't cause him too much trouble. For that, she's grateful. )

I see. ( It's at this moment she retrieves a tin of cigars from her pocket. This... might be a long conversation. ) I'm sure you can guess by my manner of contacting you, she is from my world.

( Having opened the tin by now, she plucks a cigar between her fingers and makes to light it up. )

While you might not have any reason to believe me, I can tell you she is a highly dangerous vampire with connections to a Nazi Organization called Millenium. ( Nazi vampires, Dante. Nazi. Vampires. ) Furthermore, it was one of my agents who killed her.

I have no intent to drag my battles into this world, but I fear she may hold a grudge against me, and may very well decide to stir up trouble as a result of my arrival.

( Basically: keep an eye on her. )

[despairunending]

Huh. From the sounds of things they're just trying to step up to do what you won't. But I'm guessing you're not one of these so-called "normies" or you'd understand a little better where they're coming from.

voice

[alwaysimpaled]

Oh you picked the wrong person to try that on dearie. See, I'm not even human. Well, only half human. And it's amazing the range of reactions people take when you're just a 'halfbreed.' Not to mention I didn't have the luxury of growing up with parents, so I was just "that kid" living on the streets for a good chunk of time.

And considering my mother was a 'normie' and was literally ripped limb from limb because of good ol' dad's debts, I think I have a decent understanding of where they're coming from.

The short version is that I'm not going to start imposing laws just because someone was born different, but I'm also not going to let anyone with power abuse that power or use it for personal gain at the expense of someone without power.

Got any other shots you'd like to try?

voice

[despairunending]

If you're half-human you're not exactly normal. Sure didn't have any of those where I'm from, anyway.

[Not to say she's entirely unfamiliar with the notion of exceptional vs ordinary. It's precisely because she's familiar with such a system that this situation calls to her.

So of course, she can't just leave well enough alone.]

But anyway, I think it's pretty brave of them to speak out like that...or is that what you don't like? Seems pretty harsh to shut them down just for making their feelings known.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled]

Why would they even want something like that? Aren't there enough people around who use their powers for good?

[Video]

[alwaysimpaled]

Because people with power are inevitably going to be tempted to use that power for personal gain at the expense of someone else. Goes with any kind of power. Political, physical, magical, anything. That's why cops are needed in every world, even if there's super heroes or mages, or whatever.

[priceofmagic]

Y-Yes, sir. I'll carry extra arrest papers.

Um... But, I'd like us to proceed cautiously... If their motives are not logical, it may just be a cover, you know? It also might give that Tomura guy something to work with...

private video

[alwaysimpaled]

Honestly, I'm more concerned about someone with powers taking their declaration as an open challenge or something. The "arresting" part is more of slap cuffs on 'em, bring 'em to the station and slap 'em with a fine, and sending 'em on their way.

Just keep an eye on the powered folk.

[video]

[fadedscarlet]

Wow, reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaal mature of you. That's going to show them that you mean serious business.

Sure.

[alwaysimpaled]

If I knew we were doing middle-school level comebacks I'd have been more juvenile in my approach.

Neiner neiner boo boo and shit.
