TEXT TO ALL
Nova City Guardian Office is accepting applications for a new Deputy.

Current Deputy Team: Satsuki Kiryuin, Jaune Arc, Mercury Black, Saber.

If you would like to join this team, lead by City Guardian Weiss Schnee, please contact the Guardian's office ASAP for an interview. Any questions may be asked in response to this text. Please respond before 2/5.

Also, I apologize to anyone I may have offended while I was split. As it turns out, when your better half makes up more than half of your characteristics, the less kind of the two goes overboard in compensation.

ACTION AT THE SKYRISE
[ Listen, if anyone thought that Sun was going to ask Weiss to babysit Articuno that didn't mean she was going to have a giant legendary ice bird hanging out in her office? They weren't thinking. Weiss and Articuno get along too well to not spend all the time that Sun isn't there hanging out.

On the other hand, Weiss's deputies may or may not appreciate how ridiculously cold it is in the Guardian's office right now. It's like they just didn't bother to turn the heat on and instead went 'it's chilly out, let's turn the AC on.' Except there's no telling hum, it's mostly just ice-type Pokemon hanging out around the office. Even Lapras is in there chilling out with Smoochum humming while playing on his back.

That said, there's a lot of work to do. Mostly because bad!Weiss was more focused on herself than the rest of the city, so there's a lot of clean-up going on. But once that's handled and she can find a deputy to replace Nora.. well, then she can go on that vacation she'd planned- which she's rescheduled to 2/5. Four days of relaxation, followed by a couple of days at the Dream Docks. It's hard to say which order she should be doing that in, but since she can't know what will happen at the Docks, she's just going to worry about the stress she's currently feeling. Because she still really, really needed it for that.

If anyone wants to become a deputy, of course, they're going to have to put up with the cold icy office for now. Current deputies or anyone who wants to swing by is welcome too, of course. ]

OOC NOTE: The New Deputy has already been selected, but if your character wants to interview and not get it or stop by to play with Pokemon that's fine.

[Texting was fine and all, but Jaune wanted to see Weiss face to face. He figured he could help her catch up...as well as catch up on his own neglected paper work.]

Hey, Weiss-- Oh my god it's an ice phoenix. And it's cold...er than normal.

[whiteas]

[ The bird is about 5'7" and is next to Weiss at her desk right now, trying to play with Weiss's hair while Weiss is trying really hard not to pay attention because she's trying to work!! But also birdy chin scritches are so much fun and Articuno is the best so she keeps having to stifle a smile while she's trying. ]

It's Articuno, and Sun went to the Dream Docks so I'm watching it.

[aurabble]

Why does Sun have a snow bird? No, you know what, I'm not going to question it.

[He takes Neptune everywhere with him, so he lets him out of his Pokeball.]

I think Articuno has a point. Maybe your should take a break.

[whiteas]

I already took a break, I'm trying to clean up my mess so I can take a nice, long, week-length break.

[aurabble]

You mean a vacation?

[He gives her a blank look and makes himself comfortable.]

Can I help?

[whiteas]

The one I'd planned to take on my birthday, yes. Then Dream Docks at the end of it.

[ Eis seems interested in poking Neptune, while Weiss finally gives in and just lets Articuno preen her. ]

[aurabble]

Birthday? What day is it-- [Glances at his device. Frowns.] Happy late birthday.

[Neptune flops around, trying to flop on Eis. Jaune waves at Eis before he can't take it anymore and approaches Articuno.]

[ this is probably easier than video tbh ]

soooooooo i still got the job?

Text

[whiteas]

Yes.
Obviously there's some part of you that wants to try to be better. You proved that much.

Text

[sarcaskick]

all things considered I wasn't sure you'd want to see me around

sure didn't go over well with your buddies

Text

[whiteas]

No kidding.
Nora still quit and I can't blame her so you'd really better show your worth.

private text

[sarcaskick]

well i already know at least half of you knows my *worth* and then some

our little secret?

private text

[whiteas]

Did you just want this job so you could legally torment me after I made sure the post box wasn't actually near the house?

It better stay a secret.

[this is something interesting. He finds himself missing-- well not paperwork exactly. Nor bureaucracy. But a place in something that made a difference and didn't involve finger paint on his sweater vest or chalk dust from blackboards in his hair after late morning naps]

I am interested. However, what is the pay grade?

text

[whiteas]

****, the standard deputy pay unless you waive it because you want to volunteer but only one person has done that.

text

[lazyjustice]

That is suitable. Unfortunately I have expenses of my own

[and he truly believes you get what you pay for. At least in circumstances like this]

Is there a form to fill out?

text

[whiteas]

No. You'll need to come in person and I'll ask you questions, then test your abilities.

text

[lazyjustice]

Very well. But may I request somewhere with a reasonable amount of space?

[He can keep his abilities confined to tight quarters of course. But he doesn't want the resulting temperatures to freeze anyone to death. Besides which he doesn't imagine he'll look very convincing if he has to sit with his knees around his chin]

text

[whiteas]

Of course. We'll start in the Skyrise and then head over to Holodeck'd for the demonstration.

[reachnotflexibility]

[A way to clear up any ambiguity around Archangel and get some more information? Yes please. He'll deal with the consequences later - maybe she'll relax a little when she sees how effective his methods are, both as a deputy and as a vigilante.]

Still looking for a deputy? I'm a former C-Sec Officer. Police, back where I'm from.

Text

[whiteas]

I have some candidates if you're willing to come in for an interview. Having experience as an officer does give you an advantage, I'm sure.

Text

[reachnotflexibility]

Sounds good. Just tell me when and where.

Text

[whiteas]

Guardian Skyrise, now is fine.

[reachnotflexibility]

Be there in five.

[Garrus strolls into the building without anyone paying him a second glance. Quite a change. He gets directions to Weiss' office and heads on up, entering after knocking on the door. He nods his head in greeting.]

Miss Schnee. I'm Garrus Vakarian. I was part of C-Sec's Investigation Division for a bit back home. I think I could be of some help to you.

[ A huge alien should probably be something that Weiss wouldn't be used to or connect to other large aliens she's met, but honestly? She's met a lot of large aliens. Artanis used to be her deputy, Kuzan is a powered human who's almost twice her height, and she's from a world where the majority of men seem to be above 6 feet anyway, so nothing in particular stands out about him from their previous encounter. As far as she's concerned, he's a new person to meet.

Weiss indicates to a table and chairs so that he may sit down. ]

Nice to meet you, Garrus. I've got a couple of questions before I agree to anything. Let's start with you telling me a little bit about what C-sec is in your world and how that's prepared you to protect a city. [ Investigation Division sounds good, but if C-Sec is a cheating husband/wife service that's less impressive than if it's a military or police division. ]
