[Video - Nova City PSA]
[The feed opens up to show the office of the Guardian Skyrise with Gale (decked out in a new outfit, because of course he is) sitting on his desk with legs crossed instead of in the chair like a normal (professional) person. Music was playing in the background, which was probably wildly unnecessary for a video that was essentially a PSA, but hey. Gale will go stir crazy if he has to do boring shit in silence. Behind him on the filing cabinets is every past Guardian figure ever released, all in differing individual ridiculous poses... but if you look real close behind the others, the two former Attleton Guardians Blaze and Cassian are busy reenacting a certain scene from the Lion King, with the rubbish bin conveniently right beneath Cass.]
Gooood evening, citizens, friends, lovers and everything in between. [Yep. Real professional.] Strap in, folks, cuz I've got quite the announcement for ya. First off, I'm proud to announce that Ayame and Enno have joined Yang, Grievous and myself on the Nova City Guardian Team. In addition to them, I will be considering candidates for a fifth deputy position, funded right out of my own pocket. If you have any interest, by all means, pay me a visit at the Guardian Skyrise and we'll talk. Secondly, I've been surveyin' the city for new potential WayPoint locations for the past month, so I'd like to say we're well on our way to getting those implemented sometime in the near future.
[He claps his hands.]
That said! I'm here to announce some very minor changes to the bounty licenses here in Nova. Firstly, if any of you newbies get excited and take up a bounty here before you have a license, don't fret! We ain't interested in punishin' ya for something that minor, but you will be required to apply for one once the target is turned in. If you deny the application, then any future Nova bounties without a license will be illegal and therefore grounds for trouble with the law. And no one wants that.
[Don't give him more work, guys. The licenses already annoy him.]
Secondly, the subject of wounded bounty targets has been a hot one on and off since the newspaper article on the subject a few months back. [He shakes the exact March issue it was listed in for emphasis.] Many of us on the current Guardian team were previously, and are currently, bounty hunters ourselves, and we're well aware that injuries are a necessary evil dependin' on the nature of the target. But, sometimes hunters get a little self-righteous and go overboard to cause unnecessary damage where it ain't called for. So! After extensive talks with the deputy team, we've agreed that if we have any reason to suspect that any force or injury on the target was overboard or unnecessary, then the case will be thoroughly investigated. And, if we deem that, yeah, you went a liiiittle too far, punishment will depend on the severity of the case. This will be anywhere from fines, jail time, temporary or permanent removal of your license, or working the 2 to 8 AM shift at After Life.
[That last one was probably thrown in for humor.... maybe.]
We discussed the possibility of a three strike system, but deemed it too unreliable given how wildly different each bounty case can be and one punishment across the board can be seen as unfair to those who do follow the law. In short, do us all a solid and don't horribly maim your quarry, yeah? We'd appreciate it.
[And the feed cuts.]

[Hell's bells, Guardian shit was stressful. No wonder he didn't care much for the field, but strangely, he did have some sense of enjoyment out of it. Maybe deep down, even the slightest bit of pride. But after the shit in May, he knew he had to manage that stress as best he could. He's content with leaving that whole deal secret.
So, he still makes it a point to find some time to be out and about while still maintaining Guardian things with relative ease. He may be taking time to look over one of his three clubs, sitting with his german shepherd Gunner and a certain big ass bird in a park (much to onlookers' awe and confusion), or who knows. He might even be found in some arcade for some DDR. Throughout the week, he could be anywhere from the Skyrise or Nova City, to Genessia City or Everglade. The boy gets around.]
