[Journal Entry]
Feb. 1st, 2023 12:13 pmSo I'd like public opinion as the (new) Mayor.
As one of my first major acts as mayor, besides keeping up Old Man Domino's "Mayor's Daily Quiz" (since much of the power is held by Kaiba Corp typically) (and I'm not convinced that guy wasn't a ghost or an entity representing the concept of Domino as a whole), I'm planning on defunding the police.
Services will be split between a "Public Aid" Unit of like healthcare and social workers, along with help from SAI for the usual things they cover, and...
SOL's Cyber Security Specialists, Leo Corp's Top Team, Kaiba Corp's Special Ops and OOPARTS, with consolatory help from B.E.A.S.T. as a result of turnover with them, from a permanently staffed officer.
It might not be 100% defunding but.
I went into a meeting and asked them what they planned to do about the tripling to quintupling of Duel Spirit acitivity in the city since Halloween... and I got promptly told that's just Swamp Gas, Weather Balloons and the Sun creating mirages.
I then unfolded my wings and let my eyes go red, and I think I gave the police representative a stroke.
So.
Thoughts?
And yes I'm aware of the issues of highly privatized police forces, but it's either a hodge podge of security forces that DO acknowledge and WILL deal with the problems or a police force that refuses as hard policy to acknowledge Duel Spirits exist.
And yes I am planning on building a city on top of the city in the long run.
