[Journal Entry]

So 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.

God, they were still trying to insist on that, huh?
remarkablerain: (whatever)

[personal profile] remarkablerain 2023-02-01 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they better grow up and start accepting them.

Anyway, I can't put in any opinion, since I'm part of one of those groups you'd be giving funding to, instead.
remarkablerain: (what was that I'm being obstinate)

[personal profile] remarkablerain 2023-02-01 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep that noted away, yeah.

I can't offer my support one way or another, given my position, of course.

That said, if we are to enact this Joint Public Security Division, or whatever you want to call it, I do expect some more communication between the other groups and OOPARTS. Not to toot my department's own horn but I would like to say we're the public face of "supernatural threat resolution" in Domino, and, well.

With the Masquerade well and broken I like to think our history gives us some negotiating power despite Kaibacorp and Leo Corp generally wrestling over the city.
becomeanwarrior: (Don't got a good feeling about this...)

Well, maybe if the police hadn't cut my crew loose after our department building got BLOWN UP in order to absolve responsibility for us being constantly under-funded and being a mockery of the DMP, I'd be a little more sympathetic to them.

You really should just invest in your own sleeper cab, you know. If you're going to have to travel between the cities so much you should at least be able to do so in comfort.

As for communicating with the big players, if you get me a list of who I should be needing to contact for KaibaCorp's SpecOps, Top Teams, and the CST, I can probably do my rounds. Obviously we already have a pretty good working relationship with SAI and Officer Kaito.

Quelle surprise.

...Tendou and Tenjou, huh? Well, I can likely make nice with them. Ideally.

Not keen on SOL being weirdly private, though Spec Ops' rep... tracks. Hope the condition isn't something that'll throw this whole thing into chaos...

Between the three of us, I have a sneaking suspicion I might be doing most of the face work...

[personal profile] becomeanwarrior 2023-02-18 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I kind of always knew I'd get dragged back eventually. If it wasn't for actual duties then Suguru would have probably stapled me to my desk because she doesn't want my job.

That's at least hopeful, I'll defer to your judgment.

I can only promise I'll do my best.

I am about 93% certain Katie would sooner sell me out herself than take on any responsibility of being fully in charge.

Don't get me wrong, she's fantastic in the role she's in, but I suspect she would not want to touch my responsibilities with a twenty foot pole.

Ironically, being indispensable means it's really hard to get someone else to take your job.
becomeanwarrior: (So what you're saying is...)

...Might be fine in a few years but no way am I giving her the reins while she's got the kids to handle.
becomeanwarrior: (So- Uh- The thing is...)

[personal profile] becomeanwarrior 2023-02-19 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I feel like if I disrupt too much of Didi's Mom Time I will be cursed for a hundred years, mainly.
becomeanwarrior: (So what you're saying is...)

[personal profile] becomeanwarrior 2023-02-19 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'll consult her, yes.

Either way, I'm prepared to handle the current workload as expected, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem regardless. I can always retire later.
becomeanwarrior: (Then that means...!)

[personal profile] becomeanwarrior 2023-02-19 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
You can leave the Public Security negotiations in my capable hands, Mrs. Mayor.

...Why does that name fill me with some weird deja vu...

George notices them on his gaming PC, and takes a look, mentally sighing.

“Hey my name is George Huntsman, an LDS student. I just skimmed what you wrote, and the last two posts from my partner spirits, Apocralyph and Ragnarok. While fiefdom law patchwork…sounds frustrating. I’ve live with these two long enough, that any closer to getting spirits as people, full stop. I support. Thanks Mayor.”
