THUNDERCATS



Here we are! I've been meaning to make this post for some time now, but I've finally got plenty of time on my hands to get down with it. As you know, I play Hijikata Toushirou, who has been seen starring in such things such as The Mayonnaise Commercial ft. Jerry and the crowd favourite Ticking-Time-Bombs Pooping Babies ft. Katsura. In more recent things, he’s the dumb co-owner(?) of Mayocorp, a company by all means dubious. Anyway, the point of this post is not about Mayocorp or Hijikata’s obvious issues... but rather about a topic I’ve been meaning to get settled within the community.

PLAYER-BASED POLICE FORCE.

It’s been mentioned a few times (to me) already, and I’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned even more amongst the lot of you. I’m also aware that there is a number of characters - old and new - who are very much into this justice business, be it because of their canons or the profession of the character in canon or personality, etc... and at this point I don’t think there has been anything officially set up for this branch of..activity.... There are a couple of businesses/buildings that sort of have surveillance as their motif but the once-owners have dropped the game before anything came out of them AS FAR AS I KNOW.

A while back (LIKE..IN OCTOBER...I’VE BEEN BUSY OK.....) I checked with Kiss about having a police force by non-npcs, and paraphrasing: the landlord gets to have the final word on things, but we can handle stuff such as petty crimes (eg. stealing, breaking & entering), possibly create a patrolling unit, and cater for people wanting to file complaints etc. In this case, I think we would be able to work as a unit alongside the Holly Heights Court of Justice. We deal with the dirty work kinda thing, the court does the judging. DUN DUN.

By no means do I want to be the FIGURE OF AUTHORITY for this, and I would definitely like if this were to be inclusive for all players interested in having their characters join the task force and/or the court of justice. I say this because my character, while B+ leader skills, is more of the type to follow someone who is better and more inspiring as a leader. --but I guess we could... discuss this further in the future when we have a consistent team? YEAHHHhhh.

In terms of gameplay, Hijikata would be down with setting this up to a starting point. I believe our Tiger & Bunny friends are in for this too. An IC recruitment post would be set up later this week or early next week, depending.

LMAO SO WHILE INITIALLY THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE THIS BRANCHING OFF FROM MAYOCORP, I’M SURE no one wants to work under that dumb company name sajlskdjlf so it would be a separate establishment, perhaps under the same branch as the court of justice??? ERM.

Things of relevance, then, if you’re interested!

a. character you’re interested to throw into this
b. location for this police force (existing building, branch off another business, new business altogether)
c. any other thoughts

Also! I do want to add that having a police force is by no means meant to cripple all these fun anarchistic plottings that comes with some of you guys’ characters, but hopefully it will help add some … tension in having to go around the whole system. If that makes sense! Also making an OOC post about it to ~plot~ ‘cause I know my plurk is on a private timeline and would hate to leave anyone interested out of the planning.

OK THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

man i've always wanted to be on a police force ina game but my characters are never right for the job

but either way, worick and nic are really amiable with their canon's cops and are even often brought in to help solve major crimes. they're more like freelancer and/or mercernaries but they'll definitely probably weave their way around the force and keep their nose in it, if that's alright? caitie will maybe/probably throw her two cents in

as for location, i'd say just make a new business!

it's a curse

i will add depth to ur depths BUT YEAH they're considered a Neutral Force who do whatever for the right price but they'll probably play their cards a little closer considering the light nature of holly heights, so they could easily wind up doing freelance bitchwork for the police force or just generally working fairly close alongside them. worick has an eidetic memory so he can identify almost anyone in any situation

a. guess.
b. lol, he don't care, he won't be there anyway, but to help you guys out... existing building for extra laziness???
c. anonymous information calls, without the anonymity. also, if you under-the-table deal with him, like provide him with information regarding perps, yeah. if that happens, good things will come from it.

a. keith goodman! this account
b. he doesn't care, as long as they're not slipping around on mayonnaise or smth idk. probably something with a work-out facility (aka a connected gym LOL). and i'm up for whatever is the ic decision, so i'm useless here.
c. nnnnnope! just wants to be an active member of it. i think i mentioned that eiki shiki and him discussed it briefly before, and he's mentioned it to a few others too, so he's p damn excited!!

a. kyouko kirigiri! this gal right here
b. anywhere, really! as long as it's professional, she won't care.
c. SHE'S MORE OF A DETECTIVE THAN AN ACTUAL COP... so analyzing crime scenes is kind of her thing. super high-school level, yo.

she's already working at the court of justice since that was the closest thing to her profession, but this is a little more suiting i think uwu teenage girl detective to the rescue

Kotetsu's done some work on recruiting Yosuke for this. Yosuke will be a terrible cop or anything like... that........ he just wants the glory of being a PROTECTOR OF JUSTICE.

who probably does work rosters or something idk.

a. None. I'm just here to disrupt your plan :D
b. I think it will be good to use one of the existing building for this. The Preventer HQ looks good to be one since it's stocked with an armory and has functional surveillance system.
c. If this gets set up, Veda Tech will be willing to offer tech support. I'm also willing to have the top dogs in the police force to know that Tieria has information about stuffs and he's working alongside Eiki (your boss lady?) in secrecy.
