[video | open] Defense Force... announcement thing.
Good day, Marina-- or, I suppose, Marina Nova. I hope everyone is adjusting as well as can be expected. We've suffered some tremendous losses [herself very much included,] but I am certain we will be able to manage things as well as possible.

With regards to the Defense Force -- with Suzaku Kururugi among those lost, and the Wardens confirming for me that weapons and life sign monitoring are no longer available -- I would like to make a proposal. [and she's going to make it openly, so anyone can weigh in... trolls she can handle, and it's worth the risk to give everyone a chance to speak.]

Although I believed strongly in Suzaku and what he did with the Force, there was something troubling me. In some cases, members' primary motivation for joining was to obtain a weapon. And while I know for a fact that Suzaku would not admit anyone who was not suitable, it nonetheless seems as though such a team should have members whose primary reason for joining is belief in its purpose. And further, I believe that the invasion of privacy that the former Defense Force utilized for monitoring life signs made inmates uneasy. I know I had my own questions about such methodology, but it was not my team and thus not my place to debate what was in place.

However, now that many things have begun anew, I am wondering if there are those among us who believe strongly enough in protecting others that they would agree to do so without the promise of a weapon, or any such personal gain. A new leader would need to be elected, and I would be happy to oversee the process if the potential members would like. Any and all proposals will be considered.

With regards to weaponry and special abilities for those who would use them in defense of themselves or others, that is a battle that I will continue to fight with the Wardens, regardless of whether there is a formal Defense Force. I believe in our members, and all of you will have my full support regardless of the status of the organization as a whole.

	Unfortunate. [And it reminds him of Road, who's been lost a little longer but lost all the same. And then the boy, and a few less similar losses. Like his bar.] They let you tote that around now? [He hasn't quite bothered to read any rules and notes. Or listen to much of anything. But he nods at the glass. Fill him a deep glass, will you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Unfortunate is an understated way to put it. But she shows very little change in her usual poise as she pours two glasses and hands him the fuller one.] Evidently. They sell it at the store, although I believe there is a limit to what one can purchase. [She holds up her glass.] To a speedy recovery, Tyki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He takes the glass, giving contents a swirl before tapping it to hers.] And may you find your partner again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She pauses just before the glass touches her lips, knowing that even should that happen his memories of her might be beyond retrieving. But pessimism isn't her outlook, and so she takes her sip with a smile. Everything will work out as it should.] I think, the bar's loss aside, you might like the new facility. It's very nicely put together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ugh, his poor bar.] Is it? If only I could see for myself. Do tell me a little more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The sectors are very nicely laid out. Sector 3 in particular has a lovely spa and hot springs. I've never seen any bathing area quite like it. [She sips at her wine, wondering if that's of any interest to someone like him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hot springs sound nice. [Worth checking out.] What about the beach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2012-07-10 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	The beach remains, though the location seems to be slightly different. There have been some huts added. Oh, and fishing is permitted there. [She remembers that was a thing you liked.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That reminds him of the Koi pond, and he nods.] Sounds like somewhere I'll need to visit. Anything new strike your fancy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not especially, but I've been rather distracted since we arrived. [Defense Force, lost loves. You understand.] Although I've heard very good things about the living accommodations, I'm a little disappointed they're all apartment buildings. I may ask for permission to construct a house at some future point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And what of your church? [Going to be rebuilding it too? Yeah, he's asking about it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2012-07-13 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles, finding his asking interesting.] Perhaps. There is already a prayer facility here, but I believe a church should reflect the community, not the Wardens. (Reply to this) (Parent)
