Video | KPD Announcement

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis appears more relaxed and content than usual, her hair is braided and pulled over one shoulder.]

Though it was some time ago, I appreciated your defense of me against the unfounded charges anonymously posted to the network and am pleased to say that I have spoken with Arbitrator Eliyen and have been reinstated as the KPD's Chief of Police.

The past few months have not been ideal, but I would like to thank Pepper, Gene and Kaliel for handling the KPD in my absence. It isn't an easy job and it was made even more difficult due to the atrocities committed by the Cultists. The KPD has several of these cultists in custody, but they are nothing more than pawns in a greater plan. I promise that we will find the masterminds and they will pay for their crimes.

[Now for the new things]

To better serve Keeliai, I will be doubling the number of officers in the coming months. In addition, we acquired four Kirin a few months ago for a mounted force, but need a single person to devote some time to their care. If anyone is interested in that position, please let me know.

That is all.

Congratulations, Valdis. Good to see you back.

[redlightgreenlight]

Thank you, Jack. It's been awhile since we've spoken.

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, but you've been busy with stuff, and I've been... uh, enjoying the air conditioning.

[ Rather, avoiding the heat outside. ]

Congrats, Boss Lady. It's great to have you back.

[He's missed you so much. ]

It's good to be back, Chat.

Hopefully next time people might be a little less stupid about this kind of thing. I mean, probably not, but we can hope, right?

Glad to hear it. We should go to the Golden Koi and get a few drinks to celebrate. I can't get drunk and I'm guessing you can't either, but we can get a bunch of fruity cocktails and pretend.

Re: video;

Pretending to be drunk would be unbecoming for the Chief of Police, but I'm not opposed to a few drinks.

Which is why I'm so glad you're Chief of Police, and I'm not. 'Eccentric scientist' has way less strict personal conduct expectations.

Well, it's about time.

[Any hints of frustration behind the pleased grin would not be directed at Valdis herself, of course, but of the situation as a whole. Otherwise, she did her best to maintain her cheerful facade, despite the hints of weariness in her eyes.]

Much as I'd love to volunteer to help out, I'm pretty sure Jack would chain me to my bed if I took on any more work. But I might be able to help get the word out more through the Welcome Center, if you need. That's what the bulletin board out front is for.

Thank you, Zatanna. I would appreciate that...You looked exhausted.

[She winced as if she'd been caught, absently rubbing at her eye as she muttered under her breath about something something concealer for the future...]

Still noticeable, huh?

For the record, I am sleeping... [And she glanced around just in case anybody was lingering by to question that claim.] ...it's just that there's been so much to do lately. I feel like the minute the sun's up, I blink and it's going down again.

'Grats. Whoever posted that garbage was a real douche.

[Yeah, yeah, whatever, Aly doesn't care. But...]

...kirin? Police kirin?

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

Yes. Are you interested in helping?

[wolfishflame]

[H o r s i e s. Well, unicorny things. Still!]

Sure. If they 'n' you don't mind me.

[lasergrenades]

Woohoo! Welcome back! We should totally have a party at the headquarters. Then you can try more flavors of cupcakes and see if vanilla is still your favorite, although you know that Kaliel is totally gonna grump about it but who cares!

[She's talking very rapidly.]

Also we need to name the kirin.

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm not sure that this is something we need to have a party over...But you are correct, we should name the Kirin.

I'm glad you're back.

[Jackie's smiling, and it's sincere. From someone whose last lengthy interaction with Valdis had been about the trust issues he had with his friends all being cops, it's a step in the right direction.]

Wanna come for a drink at the Koi? It's on me.

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

I would love to, Jackie.

[no_light]

Congratulations. I had no doubt you would come out on top.

[ Even if he is a little bit disappointed, but that she had been suspended was more than he'd expected. It would have been too nice for it to last. ]

video

[redlightgreenlight]

Is that so?

[If only he knew that the suspension had been a ploy, but she wasn't about to tell him.]

I appreciate your support, Kylo.

[denyamenti]

Does this mean I should make an effort to hide my crimes again?

video;

[redlightgreenlight]

Well, I'd hate to have to arrest you again.

[Too soon?]

[saintoflangley]

Good to see you back. I almost can't believe you got tangled up in the bureaucracy...but on the other hand, yes I can.

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

It happens to the best of us.
