I. THE VERDANT SENTRY - Attention, New Recruits! It's clear that all of the city's law enforcement is handled by the various branches of the Sentry: from Mounted Division handling street patrol, to the Aerial Corps provided airborne support for tactical and rescue operations, to the Nautical Branch undertaking regular sea patrols as the first line of defense along the archipelago's borders. But everyone interested in joining up has to go through their basic training program, and that starts today with a general skills assessment. There's quite a mix of attendees today, spread across nearly every race represented in Aifaran and including other Dreamfolk, but whatever the recruiter is saying is getting lost in the two chatty Igheeri who seem to think they're too good to listen to the standard welcome speech... time to interrupt by signaling the person in charge? Take care of it yourself? Gripe about it to the person in line beside you? II. KIRIN RODEO - Place Your Bets! At the end of every month, the Mounted Division of the Sentry holds their skills competition. When they're not on the field, their steeds are often the subject of much admiration from children and more than a few adults. Astride many breeds of kirin, some lithe and fleet, some stockier and stronger, these off-duty officers demonstrate their control and bond over the notoriously strong-willed and intelligent creatures with complicated maneuvers. There's a surprisingly in-depth system for betting on one's favourite to win the various matches, and just about everyone's willing to explain the odds to newcomers. There's only one rule: all proceeds go to funding of the city's charities. (Bragging rights on winning are still yours to keep.) Two bells ring loudly over the crowd - last call for wagers! III. WE HAVE REGULATIONS ABOUT THIS - Munga on the Loose! Munga are ill-tempered, rat-sized spiky lizards with a gift for camouflage, and whose venom in their spines and teeth is also highly hallucinogenic. And... they're on the loose. Fortunately, keeping them is highly regulated, and pretty much everyone in Aifaran knows about them, but loose Munga are uncommon enough that the reaction is more likely to be startled flailing at a hint of spines and skittering. Today someone's exotic pet has slipped out of their hands, and it's trailing a harness and lead as it zigzags away, prickling and hissing and going for the ankles. It's given a wide berth, except by those who don't notice until it's too late or those too preoccupied by something else. Hopefully the proper authorities have been notified to catch and return the creature, but maybe someone helpful can keep it from getting too far away? IV. A SURPRISE WINDFALL - Officer, This Isn't Mine... There was a loud thud as someone tosses a heavy bag from the window of a dilapidated building. Five seconds later there’s smoke pouring out the windows and your holding what seems to be someone else’s luggage. Opening it, you find carefully wrapped bricks of some very illegal drugs, and someone down the side alley is pointing at you and yelling. A mounted Sentry officer is giving you a rather peculiar look as well while he calls in the fire brigade. And among the people fleeing the building, there are five Kin’nal looking at you, wide-eyed, as it suddenly dawns on them that they messed up. Take your new prize and split before reinforcements arrive? Try to explain the mistake? Take note that the building is still on fire? V. INTO THE UNKNOWN - Watch Your Back Out There The sea patrol discovered the new irregularity a few days ago, reporting that it looks like a series of tall and jagged stone towers rising up from the ocean. It's incomplete as these planar-shunted locations often are, as if something massive had taken a bite of some mysterious city and then spat it whole into the seas of Konryu. Having been chosen as part of the exploration team, you've been working your way through the complicated labyrinth of stone tunnels and dead ends, searching for what the Opara engineers had enthusiastically described as a potential new power source. "Trace the green glowing power lines," was their (sort of helpful) instruction. However the lean, dark and toothy thing you've just glimpsed should probably be a more pressing concern... warn others? Take it on yourself? Pray it hasn't spotted you? VI. WILDCARD - Because You're Not The Boss Of Me Anything else that doesn't fit the above prompts is welcome, just keep it within the game setting please!

[ This smirk promises nothing, one way or another. In fact, Hibiki is lifting up a cup of tea and sipping at it. ] Well, a skilled criminal could handle that much, as well.
[ This is....more a dig at the police on her part than anything else, honestly. She has a low opinion of law enforcement in general after certain personal experiences. ]
no subject
As a magician, that won't be a problem. [ The problem is that he's a seventeen year old boy and if he gets caught on the way to the station with this mess then it won't look good. ]
[ ... ]
[ What is he saying? He's the Kaitou Kid. Of course he can deliver the good without getting caught. ]
-But being a teenager, I may not get the benefit of the doubt.
no subject
[ Is that the sound of police?
Hibiki lowers her cup, though, and smirks. She'd enjoyed watching the show. This wasn't the milieu in which she'd expected to find anybody actually talented at performing, but she won't fuss if a flower is blooming out of season. ]
Your sleight-of-hand is impressive.
no subject
[ He can definitely hear sirens and this really isn't something he needs to deal with. Damn. ]
I might be a little out of time.
[ He's going to regret this. He scoops up the bag and slings it over his shoulder. ]
no subject
[ Was his show good enough to merit her presenting him with the tremendous gift of assistance....?
Hibiki supposes she'll see based on what he does next. But at least this is interesting, unlike most of what she's seen today. ]
no subject
[ Or he could just hide it for the time being. He glances up at the building again and sees a fire escape landing that he can probably put the bag on and still be back on the ground pretending to be none the wiser before any cops show up. ]
[ Too bad he can't just use Kid's grappling hook-since he's in normal civilian guise he'll have to do this the normal way. Sort of. ]
[ He jumps up to grab the fire escape ladder and starts his climb up to the landing-but climbing straight on is going to take too long so the moment he's up on the first landing he's directly below the third. All he has to do is climb up on the railing and jump up to the next one, fingers gripping the cold metal so he can pull himself up. ]
no subject
Yes, this is quite an entertaining show. So much so that she'll keep one eye on him and one eye on the approaching police, stepping out into the road. It probably wouldn't hurt to cultivate someone talented's acquaintance, and getting them indebted to her would be an excellent start.
Does she have a plan herself, though?
Why would she?
And thus she's just. Standing in the middle of the road. Casual as can be. As a building burns and the police approach. ]
no subject
[ That taken care of, he quickly makes his way back down to the ground, landing in a squat. ]
no subject
Do you doubt my testimony?
[ It's certainly being given in a fully confident, authoritative voice. ]
Such disruptive occurrences are against my style. They depress me.
[ She frowns at the designated Bad Cop. ] I stopped you to tell you to clean it up!!
[ Yes, "order the police to put out a fire because she doesn't like looking at it" is definitely one of her better ideas. ]
no subject
[ Oh hey, s'up officer. ]
Not only that, but there were kids around here earlier-how long does it take to get the fire department down here anyway.
[ He offers a frown of his own. ]
[ What bag of drugs? ]
no subject
The cops debate this new testimony amongst themselves, write up something, hand it to Hibiki, and hurry off to help direct traffic so the fire brigade can get through.
Hibiki frowns down at the slip of paper. ] "Fine for public disturbance"....?
[ What....is this baffling document? ]
no subject
Really? That guy wrote you a ticket? for what?
no subject
[ She passes the ticket to Kaito and seems to have no interest in taking it back. ] You may dispose of it when you're done with it.
no subject
I wonder if they have a system in place that will you contest this. I have no idea where they came up with 'public distubance.' Unless, they're mad you gave them a little attitude.
no subject
[ Is she getting that back or are you saving her the trouble and throwing it away? Because that is totally what she is going to do, if it returns to her possession. ]
no subject
[ He does indeed hold the paper back out to her. ]
Or else you could end up with a warrant out for your arrest.
no subject
[ Hibiki folds the paper up. Is there a waste receptacle around here? ] Such stifling rules don't apply to me.
no subject
no subject
[ Said with the full confidence of someone who's used to that being the final word. And who's a little distracted right now.
WHY IS THERE NO TRASH CAN
ARE THESE PEOPLE LIVING IN THEIR OWN DISCARDED RUBBISH ]
