ADVERTISEMENT: Did we catch your attention yet? If so read on.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is looking for new recruits!
The pay is commensurate with experience… There will be health benefits! We have our own doctor at the Precinct and a never ending supply of ointments and bandages. Everyone is encouraged to join, men and women! We only require you to pass one interview! Applications materials are at the front desk. Once you fill it up please go to room 125 and ask for Lieutenant Fujita.
Help keep Tokyo safe! Join the TMPD! 
(OOC: feel free to come in this thread… It’s just Fujita looking for some fun. Hehehehe! Oh and the mascot really is the TMPD mascot in RL)
I walk in, curious as to what this is all about exactly. Just for the heck of it, I fill out this application. Can use all the income possible!
Although having to speak with that wolf Saitou is -not- going to be pleasant.
I ask for direction to room 125 and the officer points down the hall… He looks so afraid at the mere mention of his name! Saitou is rather scary-looking in my opinion…
Ah! Room 125… I knock on the door instantly -dreading- this. Maybe I can rip-up this application and quietly leave like I was never here in the first place….
( OOC: THAT is the PD mascot? …Way too cute. Blargh. )
Hmmm? Ah the first one for the day.. And the person knocks… This might not be too bad…
Opening the window, I made sure the rays of the sun shines directly on the seat opposite my table. It will not only be hot but it’s good that they can’t see my face well.
“Come in!” I say in the gruffest way possible.
He just had to be in his office. I twist the doorknob and open the door, peering inside. Smoke. It’s so smoky in here even with a window open.
Coughing, I take the application and try fanning the air around my face.
“Here for the -cough cough- job.” Well doesn’t he look all high and mighty over by his desk. Or even creepier… if that’s even possible.
I step inside his office fully, closing the door behind me. I should have left it open though at least partly to further aid airing out this room!
That is the -strangest- mascot I’ve ever seen.
It looks like a space bear. With a weird antennae.
*blinks*
Maybe I’m smoking too much opium again.
Blame it on Kawaji… He has a serious kawaii-ness issue. I complained about it to Toshimichi before he was killed but the man of course was busy trying to rebuild his nation state… Well I can’t imagine that “rodent” to last more than 5 yrs so…
*fujita goro 1878*
Is this any indication of what my day is going to be? *sigh*
The Tanuki comes in and is seriously looking for a job. She is coughing but I finished smoking 5 minutes ago. Now what could possibly be wrong?
“Sit down Ms.. Tanuk… Err Kamiya…”
Must control my tendencies this is official business..
Crossing my arms I look over Himura’s woman… Shameless! That Rurouni should be the one here looking for a job and not her.
“Tell me do you have any special abilities and why do you think I should hire you?”
Ugh. I hope this is quick and painless. The longer I have to stay in this room… the thinner my patience is. Taking a seat on the chair across from him, I squint at the sunlight coming in.
Oh dear kami, make this REALLY quick. And now he’s already asking questions.
“Those questions were asked on the application Sa–err, Fujita-san.” Ooh. Take that back. But do I really need to repeat what I already wrote out? I slide the application toward him.
“I mean… I run my own dojo and am quite adept at kenjutsu.” But the police use sabers… and I am -not- touching one of those. “And you should hire me because…” You probably desperate for new recruits to be asking for women! “I will not disappoint you and I -am- responsible.”
And the damage you caused to the dojo with your fight with Kenshin wasn’t cheap to repair you jerk!
She’s telling me things I already know…
Taking the paper I toss it to another pile on the table without looking at it. How many times have I told those idiots that a paper interview was never enough? It’s a good thing, Kawaji agreed to leave the “recruiting” in my hands.
“Kamiyaaa-ssssnn..” Ugh I hate honorifics…
“Tell me something distinctive about you. There are many strong men and women out there… And responsibility is something I can teach…”
Narrowing my eyes I place my free hand on the table and started to tap.
Be frank Tanuki… I know there’s something you want to say…
*reads flyer* Only men and women Fujita-san? What about the rest of us?
*looks at mascot* What the hell -is- that thing?! *rips mascot of paper, and crumples it up* It was weak. Now it’s gone.
I didn’t write the ad… Ahou. If I would’ve written it you know it’ll read men, women, children and everything else that walks the planet! The more recruits we have the stronger we can be…
And I won’t have to worry about sleeping and such…
As for the mascot, yeah I agree with you. Come up with a better one and we will present it to Kawaji.
Oh, but I think the mascot is utterly -kawaii-! But, of course, it is nowhere -near- as cute as Saizou. Or as deadly. Mmm. My attack piggie!
Anyway, certainly, I will join up! Please tell me that there will be great opportunity for the application of Aku Soku Zan? I wouldn’t mind
killingbringing a few Meiji officials to justice.Is Takani smoking opium?
*glances at the ceiling*
And not cutting me in on the profits, either?
“Let’s open an opium den, Takani.”
That’ll piss off Saitou.
There is great opportunity here Souji… I just didn’t ask you because I thought you’d want to be left alone peacefully.
But since you asked, you can start today. I have an extra uniform you can use…
*points behind bookcase*
*puts on the uniform and finds the arms and legs are just -way- too long for him. Must be one of Saitou’s*
Oh, ha ha ha, Saitou-san, very funny.
*takes out his wakizashi and cuts it down to size*
*secretly gets about 1000 of those things made and tacks them up all over Kamatari’s house just to see her flip out and destroy them.*
Oh… And the police usually wears sabers Souji… I’m afraid until after you are promoted I’ll have to confiscate that wakizashi.
*holds out hand*
“Heh… Sure go ahead. I’ll personally guard the Kitsune while you can have a very special jail cel.”
Of course, Saitou-san.
*hands it over*
Actually, I’d rather my bokken than a saber, if that’s alright?
*wonders if Saitou-san remembers how many recruits he almost killed with a bokken or a shinai*
“Fine.”
Doesn’t he realize how futile it is to try to -jail- a -shinobi-?
That’ll do just fine… Just try not to hit too hard. We want them alive for questioning.
Hmmm… We must be careful and strip search Aoshi… Now who can do that? Enishi maybe… Or Kamatari if she feels up to it.
Ah forget it… We’ll just have the Shinobi in jail with only a fudonshi.
That would be all I need.
I can’t wait…
*grin*
*pout*
But, after the questioning, then we kill them, right?
I think that’s how Hijikata-san said to do it.
“Yes…”
*narrows eyes*
If they decide to be uncooperative.
Stripping Shinimori. *drool* Fujita-san, it must be done. For the safety of Japan.
Then you have absolutely complete and utter permission to do so. Just make sure you give him back his fudonshi when you are finished. I’d like to see what the Shinobi has in mind…
???!!!?!?!?!?!?!
To self: When the hell did Aoshi Shinomori become psychic?
Again, thinking to self: What the hell is up with this man?
Knows if she slaps him or punches him first that she -will- end up in jail cell.
“Hannya tells me many things.”
“Soooooooo, Saitou-san, who are we going to pummel…ahem…I mean question first?”
*takes notes*
“What kind of things does Hannya tell you?”
*wonders if any of those things include gambling strategies… just in case she opens that opium den*
*consults with Hannya*
“He says you’re very fetching when you’re angry. And, also, he says that stripes are the new black this season.”
*Smirk*
Easy… The Hitokiri of course…
Yes, I’m fetching to a dead man. How reassuring.
OF course, this could just be some kind of multiple personality thing which I don’t understand… but at least Shinomori isn’t pummeling me yet. I suppose he forgot that I was never supposed to talk about his men.
I decide to walk on over and start fingering his trademark trenchcoat.
“And what else does he say, mmmm?”
“He says, ‘Hands off the Okashira’s coat, lady’.”
I shrug.
“You asked.”
*Looks at Megumi*
Thinks to self: I should try that trick again…
“Nice pick up line…”
*Smirk*
*looks at Saitou Hajime staring*
*starts stuffing medical box with heavier objects, rocks and other fun things*
“That was a pick up line?”
Thinks: !!!!
::sneezes::
“Sessha must be catching a cold….all this rain.”
