( Private // Unhackable )

My apologies from an extended absence from the Network; a certain amount of time had been required to familiarize myself with the City once again.

It seems like some things don't change, do they? The City itself undergoes an alarming turnover rate, and yet it still stays the same, essentially.

Minor revisions to the City Guide were made during my time of absence, and should anyone have anything to contribute, please direct them here; I will be working extensively on it to make sure that it stays relevant and up-to-date.

To all the newcomers and the ones I'm as yet unfamiliar with; I'm Yagami Light - it would be a pleasure to meet most, if not all of you eventually.


[Police Force // Viewable]

I believe I've idled enough in the City - if I may, I request for a position in the police force once again while I regain all my bearings. I believe I will be better able to serve justice the City better within the force instead of somewhere else.

[/Private]

[Kristoph Gavin//Private]

It's been a pleasure having dined with you, Kristoph. I was pleasantly surprised by how much we seem to have in common despite occupying opposing positions in the law enforcement profession. I should like to meet with you again sometime.

[/Private]

Where am I? What's...

This place holds some measure of familiarity, but I've never been here before. Where -

If this is some kind of obscene joke, it is definitely not appreciated. I cannot be dead, I cannot be used to this. My heart's not beating and yet I'm not afraid. What is going on? Who is responsible for this?

I demand answers

I require an audience with the person who runs this circus. Explanations are due, and I am unwilling to to waste any more time than is absolutely necessary. And to whomever that is responsible for it, kindly cease that incessant ticking.

Ah, Warden elections again, isn't it? It seems like the City is significantly more active when times like these come around.

[Private to Seras Victoria]

Miss Victoria, I wish you all the best in the elections. It had been a true pleasure working with you, and it truly is my sincere hope that you will achieve the position, especially with your vast potential.

[/Private]

[Filtered to the Gentlemen//User: Kira//Absolutely unhackable]

If I may, gentlemen, shall we use Seras Victoria? I suggest unity as well, a poor showing is terribly unbecoming.

Hmm, I think I've made a little too much cookies this morning; but perhaps the officers at the station would be up to having some of them? I'm aware that most - if not all of you - tend to skip breakfast, after all.

Should anyone like to have some, I've packaged them in little handy boxes, and they are available for pick up at any time.

Also, a matter worth announcing to the people of this esteemed City. I have set up a task force for superhuman officers in order to facilitate better response and more effective containment and arrest methods regarding the more powerful persons/criminals within this City. Pay is of course negotiable, and those who have an interest, kindly leave a note here, and I shall get back to you as soon as possible.

Officer Hawkeye, do take note of the individuals; I will send you their particulars as soon as I receive them, and please send down the collated files to me tomorrow morning.

Mr Valentine, if you will, could you please put the mass of staff files in order, and check that the prior records of criminals are updated?

[[ooc: Yeaaaaah, very much affected. Also, cookies may taste too sweet/too hard/singed at the edges. He may be a perfectionist, but baking really isn't his forte. Going to bed now, but will tag in a few hours! ;.;]]

I apologize for the trouble/problems I've brought while I had been affected by the curses. To Mr Gintoki, please accept my apologies, and thank you for being being kind enough to accommodate my younger self's whims.



[Police Force Filter//Light's own codes//Rendered completely unviewable to outside surveillance]

Sergeant Sagara has resigned as your direct superior, officers; you will all report to me from now on. However, there are matters that has to be straightened out.

I will require for someone competent enough to take his place. Should anyone be interested in this position, kindly leave a note, and reasons detailing why you feel you would be suitable for the job. Sergeant, I would like you to consider suitable candidates as well.

[/Filtered]

[Private//Unhackable]

Excellent. This could not have come at a better time.

Once was bad enough, but this City doesn't seem to cease it's antics--damn it.

.....Not this again.

I won't be seeing anyone today; kindly leave your messages, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

I require additional bandages, if anyone is able to spare them. They keep getting in the way.

[[ooc: Strikes hackable, etc etc]]

Since it looks like I've finally managed a day off work, a little rest and relaxation should be in order.

I hope whatever I taught you regarding the computer device was useful, Mr. Felix.



[Private to Major//Unhackable]

I would like to ask for a favor, Major, should you wish to give it.

[/Private]

[Private to Tesla//Unhackable]

If all goes as planned, there will be a quarter of an hour afforded for you to extract Nnoitra from prison in two days. Ophelia, however, will be obliged to stay within the prison for however long it takes.

[Private//Unhackable]

He's already spoken to Rosiel, then. From reviewing past entries on the Network, it looks like this Mello is a new one. Naomi Misora that foolish, foolish woman. She can do nothing to me during her first time here, and yet she still tries.

As it stands, she is not a threat. What should be focused on now - focused, assembled - I've lost one too many of my pawns to this City is yet another strategy. L is moving, L and all his pawns, and I cannot afford to stand still.

They will lose, I am sure of it. What can they do to a morally upright, normal citizen within this City? Even then, it's a fine line to be walked; the unsavory elements are too important to be overlooked. If they cannot be gotten rid of, then another use will be found. Their worthless existences would not be in vain if they're used to suit my purposes, at least.

And so, to set the table, and to gather the pieces.

Are you watching, L?

Kira will not lose.

[/Private]

[[ooc: Tesla-mun, Prince Charming-mun wouldn't be around this week, so we'll have to postpone the rescue until she returns? :3]]

Contrary to the rumors spreading; no, I have not resigned from the police force.

My apologies for my absence during these few weeks; there were urgent matters for me to attend to and resolve.

Should anyone require my assistance, I'll be in my office.

Sergeant Sagara, a word, please.

Are these...visits really necessary? The Note doesn't work on them, which makes it even more useless.

Hn. Might as well make do with this.

[Private//Unhackable]

Had I been alive, today would be the day I turn 25. One year older, a full year and a month after that event. But nothing changes, does it? Bones, flesh. It's all dead; preserved so perfectly, and I remain forever young.

Forever Kira. That would be the next goal; immortality. To be Kira for as long as it takes. Death is not an option for me anymore; I'm meant for greater things, and I cannot stop here. Long enough to ensure that L and all of his pawns stay here permanently, so that when I finally return to reclaim my place in the world, they will all be distant, inconsequential memories.

And another one comes, another strange person bearing a resemblance to him - which makes it how many, now? Three, four? Or are there more of them from Wammy's House that I don't know of yet. Hn, no, that's not important. The more they assemble here, the better. I will need more people to deal with them, to ensure that this City becomes their prison. Now then, how many pawns should I pull forward; what game should I set out?

One step at a time for now, to prevent mistakes. There will be a need for...alternate methods. I cannot use the same people repeatedly; or my moves will be able to be easy for them to read. The man, Alexis Hargreaves and his own pawns, will need to be looked into more closely.

If he has something I can make use of, then all the better it will be for me.

[/Unhackable]

I enjoyed having dinner with you, Father Nightroad; it's been awhile since I've gotten to speak with you like that, even if you didn't remember. Hopefully, you'll feel better soon?

I suppose I should be grateful that the curse missed me yesterday, obnoxiously blinding bright as it was; it looks like the people who were affected have a rough time of it today. The City enjoys making sport of us - and these days especially - our general demeanors, but if there's one thing learned, it's best to take it in stride and not react too badly. Difficult, of course, but only idiots rail at something that cannot be helped instead of doing damage control immediately especially for the newcomers, but I believe that one gets used to these things.

It just takes a little time, and at least they didn't decide to turn us into misshapen half-creatures, or to distort our respective genders.

[[ooc: Strikes soooo unhackable :3]]

And here I thought that the rampant commercialism of this day would not have made it here.

Nonetheless, a happy Valentine's Day to all who are celebrating it.



[[ooc: Flowers for his ladies~]]

[Private//Unhackable]

So things hadn't gone quite as planned, then. Instead of just one Warden now, they have two, and the second is one that I would not have liked to see on at any point in time. Irritatingly unwilling to budge, servile to some flawed justice and not Kira, the one person deduced most likely to be in L's pocket...Tsk. That doesn't matter now.

Vimes is most probably just another piece, one that I will eventually have to eradicate if he starts to snoop or to interfere too much. For now, to bring focus back to pending plans. Now that the spotlight's off me, it will be a perfect time to craft strategies. So many criminals in this City, so many killers ripe for using. Now, which one would be the most disposable?

First, to establish that one Warden is indeed a lot more competent than another. Citizens, you have a fondness for my face, don't you? You rally around so quickly, and so many things are handed to me on a silver plate....hm.

Players, gentlemen. Shall we set another round? For me, for your God Justice.

Let's start another game, L. How much will you wager that I will bring down you and yours even harder than before? Thrusting your little pawn into the spotlight; do you show your cards that easily now, or is it yet another trap?

[/Private]

[Filtered to all Millennium//RCO//Major's Allies//Anonymous//Untraceable//Unhackable]

Feeling restless, gentlemen? I have a proposal to make, should you wish to listen.

[/Filter]

[Private//Prince Charming]

My sincere apologies for the extended silence on my end, Warden. There were urgent matters that demanded my immediate attention. Regarding the police force, as one had a hand in founding it, shall I retain my office, or?

[/Private]

The short reprieve did some good, at least; and it was pleasant to know that not many things changed while I was gone. Everyone's well, I hope? Please forgive my absence at your inauguration, Mr Charming, Vimes; there were a few matters that I had to tend to, and allow me to extend my sincere congratulations to you both.

I see that the new people are already coming in as well; I suppose it would be rather disingenuous to welcome all of you into a place where most of you would probably not like to be in, but nonetheless, should you need any help, I'll be most willing to assist.

As for today's curse, the most prudent thing to do is to not consume those candies, don't you think? Quite apparently, the City seems to find it pleasing to play yet another trick on us, and who knows how far it'll go this time? How foolish can you lot be, eating something that's so obviously cursed.

Curse aside, it looks like I've missed quite a significant bit. Will someone do me the favor of filling me in on matters?

[[ooc: Light...retreated somewhere Underground for awhile to get his plans in order, hence the absence. Strikes are deleted ♥ And if you were on Major's list before, you're on now for the filter. Responses to that filter are all untraceable and unhackable]]

I won't be running for the next term; it's time for a change, and I would like to be afforded a chance to be able to focus fully on the police force that I've set up. There is still much to be done without taking on the additional duties, and I'm sure that the next Warden would be able to do an excellent job.

I wish the current candidates the best of luck, and as police chief, I offer the services of the police force however I can to the new Warden.

[Private to RCO//Millennium//Envy//Cirucci]

Gentlemen, lady, I believe that Prince Charming may be an excellent candidate of choice, considering the fact that I am currently allowing someone else to take the position instead. As palatable and as excellent a choice that the Commander Vimes will be, I cannot let someone like that win I feel that someone who demonstrates flexibility would be more prudent to my your future plans.

What do you think?

[/Private]

*There's the sound of water running, and after a long moment, it's turned off after something relatively small falls into the sink with a loud clatter*



...This is going to be a problem.

[Private//Unhackable]

These sudden feelings, desires - I need...no. It's not time for Kira, this is not the place. All I've worked for, all those plans will be lost if I make a wrong move now based on something I cannot control.

Who knows the ones who are watching, the steps they'll take if they see what I really want, the need for power that runs like a drug in my veins. More of it, I need more of it; this is not enough. Warden is not good enough, the pawns are not yielding; they're not kneeling.

Rotten, ungrateful, disgusting blights, this City is filled with them. They don't know who their true God is, where their absolute justice lies. I--no.

I need to control this. The pawns cannot know. They cannot see what truly drives my ambitions, or the game will be over.

I cannot lose.

[Private]

It seems like there's something in the water today, or is it the return of the City's curses? Focus.

If anyone else is feeling the cravings, desires, I suggest that it be kept in check, before something regrettable is done. I don't need another issue sapping at my self-control at this time.

And Greed, I'm aware that you have a chronic issue with self-control, but kindly restrain yourself from going after minors. It may not be a law in your world, but in here, there are a majority who find it highly disgusting distasteful. Should anything like this happen again, a case may be brought against you. Despite your earlier preening, you should be aware that there are people here who are definitely more powerful than you are.

Keep that in mind before you propose/do something like that next time.

For now, your priority will be rescuing the ones who have been taken into the ship. Captain Short, you're to act as surveillance for the team who will be entering. I will require the specifics on what kind of equipment they're using, as well as the environment in the interior of the ship.

To all other branches, my team is able to offer backup, should any of you require it.

[Police Filter;]

To those of you who wish to stay, assemble in the Headquarters for further orders. The sudden destruction of the regime will require monitoring.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

There's something I don't trust about them. Why go to all that trouble without an agenda? Surely it must not be that simple, especially after blowing up the deities' offices.

Be careful, those of you who wish to make a deal. For the others, the Prison is open, should you wish for shelter.
