Coordinating the police force

[intuitive_aptitude]

Seeing as there's an influx of people who want to work for the police force — in various positions — and since somehow, my little weirdo has been tasked with running the police, I have a proposal for some fun potential CR.

There are at least 4 PCs, and maybe even 5 or 6 PCs who all are talking to Gabriel about jobs right now.

1. Once you all pass your interviews, Gabriel is going to want to start partnering you up, because that's what he's seen on TV, but also because that's how the paramilitary organization he spent a little time with did things. If you're interested in this, can you let me know here? And if any of you have preferences for who you're paired with b/c you want to build CR with that person, I can just make up a random reason why Gabriel would put you two together.

2. Once you're partnered (or not) — he's going to be interested in giving you missions. Now, usually these won't conflict with our crime-committing PCs, but sometimes they will, depending on what's happening. He has a few things in mind, but if there's something you specifically want to play, let me know too, and I'll just magically have Gabe be on the same page.

For reference, here are all the PCs I know about so far who have explicitly expressed interest in joining the force and are in the process of getting a job here:

- Homicide: Mystique (aka Raven) + Chloe Decker (+ Lucifer)
- Drugs: Jill Valentine + Felicity Smoak
- Robberies: James Norrington
- Fetch Walker?

If I should add you to this list, even if our tags haven't gotten your character to an explicit ask yet, please let me know!

----- updates! ------

1. Gabriel is also looking for an assistant. Someone who isn't trying to be an officer or a detective, but who just wants a job and is real organized. Kate may take this job???

2. He may be asking Erik to come back to the force soon. So if that makes your characters want to work there more, feel free to factor that in. But that isn't going to go well. Erik won't be able to have that job.

No, I don't imagine that they would need to come to blows. Mystique would rather use her other considerable skills first, but really little qualms about using manipulation or violence to achieve her goals or do what she feels needs to be done.

I'm certain he can be a pain in the butt- and that's perfectly fine- the world is full of them.

[mockeryofthedivine]

Manipulation is totally possible with Lucifer. Just don't let him realise you're doing it XD

[polymorphcomplex]

Now that would be funny. Of course not! Mystique is a discrete and cunning soul.

Damn, now I have to add another series to my watchlist.

[mockeryofthedivine]

She'll just have to be super good about it, since Lucifer has Issues with being manipulated, so it's a pretty guaranteed way to piss him off

yes, do watch it! it's great fun

[polymorphcomplex]

Mystique only manipulates when necessary or things are dire, but not dire enough to break to precision violence. Then again, I think to a certain point, Mystique and Lucifer will see to eye on a few fundamental matters. Now whether either cares to admit it. Who knows?

Tell me he'll offer her a friendly drink at his club. ^.^"

It looks like a great and fun series, but it'll take some time to get to it. I think it's good that I'm going in canon-blind so I can get to know the characters are Mystique learns about them.

[mockeryofthedivine]

They probably will have some similar viewpoints, yes! Should be interesting to see them interact, certainly. (Lucifer's just likely to be Difficult about her being Chloe's partner, because as far as he's concerned he's Chloe's partner.) We can see how things go!

Hah, he doesn't have a club atm! He's a fair way off having the resources to do that. So alas, he's not able to arrange for free drinks.

No rush, it's all good!

It's going to be the weirdest menage a trois. But Chloe's pretty used to handling Lucifer (or not handling him) so it should work out. Hopefully.

[intuitive_aptitude]

lol reading all of the responses to all of this is amazing. done and done. Pair with Mystique with a trail of Lucifer.

[dominusvobiscum]

I don't think anyone knows what they're in for.
