...This is gonna sound kinda weird, but hypothetically--just work with me here, hypothetically someone had a birthday here. Does it still count even though they're sorta uh, dead? See, I have this buddy and he's been worrying about it for about a week now--if it counts, would he just keep tacking the years on? Does it even matter here? I know some worlds have limits like in some you can only drive when you're 16 (if you have a license that is), and then some you can only drink if you're a certain age.

_{[Demyx could you be any less obvious? Just man up and admit it's your birthday, jeeze.]}

A-Anyway, would it be weird if he did want to go out and celebrate with himself, even if it doesn't count?

[ oh hey, this message brought to you by... not the Initiative, not a Transport... a citizen?? ]

Afternoon, Transports. Let's keep this short, as I'm sure we're all busy people.

My name is Thom Sorenstam. I'm Commissioner of Exsilium's police force, formed as of a few months ago. I've been working with Inspector Barnaby Brooks since to establish a Transport unit within the force.

So that's where you come in.

[ shuffling of papers.... ]

We're recruiting. [ a smack -- Thom hitting the table with his fist. ] Two sergeants, picked by myself and Brooks, twenty to thirty constables, two hundred marques' pay per month, a little more for the sergeants. You'll be reporting to your sergeants or to Inspector Brooks, and mostly be dealing with Transport business.

If you're interested, talk to me over... this thing, or at our office on [ X AND Y INTERSECTION ]. I'll want to hear how long you've been here, your experiences, your qualifications, specialties, skills, the whole blasted thing. And I'd love to do background checks on all of you, but that's goddamn impossi-- [ someone in the background interjects. their words aren't clear, but she sure sounds disapproving. COUGH. ] Anyway.

[ more paper shuffling. muttering. ]

Any other questions, crimes, concerns? Leave 'em here. I'll get to them.



[ ooc: original police force sign-ups were here! calhoun/chargethesebatteries and nathaniel/noble_nate will be our sergeants, everyone else will be coming in as constables.

you're still welcome to sign up OOCly. IC signing-on in this post is optional and can be handwaved, so long you've signed up in the OOC post! ]

Okay, let's see here... Push this one, uh... Then that--Whoa!

_{[After some fumbling (and a near drop), the device finally flickers to life to show a hooded figure peering down into the camera. At first he's dead silent, his mouth opening and closing a few times as he tries to figure out what to say before he decides to take a chance and shake a proverbial fin.]}

Soooooo, I guess I should probably introduce myself or something... I gotta admit I'm totally lost even with that chick telling me the basics. Either way-- _{[He reaches up to push the hood back Light what is wrong with his hair.]} You guys can just call me Demyx, and this is gonna sound really dumb considering the whole... y'know, circumstances, but does anyone know a good place to grab a bite to eat? I figure it'd be better to get some grub while I try to make sense of some of this stuff, anyway.
