Watch Shenanigans

[heavenly_earth]

With the recent spike in activity, The Watch has an increasing workload. Not only are they working to keep the guests of the city safe, but now with the picketing and rioting civilians, they're being called on to talk down, disperse, or in the worst case, subdue crowds and make arrests where possible. Needless to say, the city is in chaos, and as its protectors, it's the Watch's job to work to help restore order.

Shibusen will be lending additional agents given how short-staffed the Watch is currently, to aid in this. They're encouraged to try to talk them down and coordinate with the local police to handle the more trouble-making civilians as well as protect the non-combatants of the city.

It's a big job, and hopefully everyone's up for it. To maximize interaction and capitalize on this event, I'll be posting a big, city-wide log for everyone to tag into- non-members and members alike to defend or aid one another during this chaotic run.

Feel free to use this post for CR coordination!

Go here.

Neji will be locating trouble areas and relaying them to their appropriate zone with a brief rundown of what appears to be the problem, so everyone's free to handwave directions if they'd like- accurate or inaccurate as they may be. He'll be looking primarily for a collection of souls in one area and may or may not know if they're armed or injured.

He'll be reiterating that the use of deadly force is prohibited against the civilians, and to avoid using it if at all possible. If it's a life-or-death situation well, make your own calls. But they don't need the civilians to have more fuel to add to the fire.

Further than that, he'll be located at Shibusen, working to keep the rioters at bay. He's up for any CR!

Is this post going to have anything to do with finding the kidnapped people or forming the rescue teams? Or is this aimed to be mostly keeping rioters at bay/Watch fun?

[heavenly_earth]

Mostly rioters/watch fun. Neji and Azusa will be posting once they've located the kidnapped victims and the rescue team will shoot off from there. I assume in another log.

[tauborn]

Okay good to know!

[tauborn]

Takuto will be mostly running around like a chicken with its head cut off as he looks for Yako. But since his search will take him all around the city, he'll be dropping in here and there where his fellow Watch people need help.

Just let me know if you want a run-in or some help from a desperate Takuto.

Mello is going to be hunting for his kidnapped best friend, so he'll be all over Death City, too. When he's not on his actual patrol, he'll be doing that. Someone will probably have to remind him about that "no deadly force" rule. Possibly multiple someones will need to.

[itsfondue]

Steve is currently working with Tony and Bruce on some other stuff, but he will try to coordinate with the local police/agents/other members and try talking down those that are causing more problems.

[recitings]

Genesis will be taking to the sky for most of the event, as he'll want to go wherever he is needed most while trying to keep an eye out for those kidnapped.

He'll be most likely to swoop down on to individuals/businesses that need his assistance, so let me know if you want me to have him drop in.

Chika's partner is part of the watch, so she'll definitely be helping out now that everything's gone to hell.

Up for some threads with anyone, though she's definitely going to be spending some time with Zero in case they need each others help for what they end up dealing with.

[feelsgoodinyou]

How bad would Mello react to finding out that Yami Bakura could locate at least one of the abducted people really easily if he just wanted to?

[want_the_world]

Wow, so bad. >D

[wildest]

Considering three of Kotetsu's castmates have now disappeared from the city (two permanently and one temporarily), he'll be kind of... really preoccupied with both helping out wherever he can in Death City as well as looking for his mistakenly assumed missing buddies. :'(

[thorny]

So when you say non-members can tag in as well does this mean that Rose can catcall the Watch's peacekeeping efforts and/or get caught brutalizing some rioters?

Just making sure since I'm kind of sleep-addled right now, haha.

[blue_wayfinder]

So, I feel like we need more CR between these two. :3c

[motherofthesun]

Amaterasu is going to be helping disband rioters peacefully and stopping people who are fighting. She'll disappear though to check in at the clinic. Boy, she's going to be exhausted after this.

[blue_wayfinder]

Aqua, Eve and Giroro will be helping out, of course.

Giroro will be out and about with a modified paintball gun (because while he's acquired other weapons since coming, this is the only one that won't kill anyone though this one shoots paintballs at speeds that are above what is safe, so there's that.)

Eve will be hanging out with Keroro, so I guess anyone wanting to tag her will be double tagged!

Aqua will be around too, mostly attempting crowd control.

And...Hyoubu is probably out and about too. Mostly just for laughs and for a front row seat to all this chaos. If he wasn't convinced that he would end up spilling it, there would have been popcorn in this picture.

[blue_wayfinder]

So, Hyoubu will probably be...loitering is really the best word I can think of. Loitering and not being of much help. And you know, if he sees anyone trying to talk people down he'd probably go and play devil's advocate. Out of boredom. :D

(Which is to say, I want more CR with you, please.)

[blue_wayfinder]

We should do something for this event. I don't know what, but it's been too long since we've threaded.

[heavenly_earth]

Sure why not

[recitings]

Be a damsel in distress for him? /SHOT

[thorny]

yes

[scatterflower]

Yes. We definitely should! Even if it's just them meeting up in between patrols, these two definitely need to just talk again. Chika's been pretty busy with the Arcade and everything so she hasn't had as much time to check on people as she would like.

[heavenly_earth]

Cause what we need now is clearly more chaos, yes :3 /popcorn

[thorny]

Truer words have never been spoken.
