inquiries & a challenge

Who: Ray Kowalski
Broadcast: Video
Action: Windrose, and space!
When: today and also whenever the races are happening

[Ray is looking bored bored bored. He has a toothpick stuck in the corner of his mouth, and he's throwing a ball from one hand to the other, sometimes scrambling after it when he misses- it's astigmatism, okay, he just doesn't see all that good.]

Alright, so I got a question. Not everyone here's from Earth, whatever, but most of you are from some kinda place with some kinda rules and laws. And I figure a bunch of you have gotta be law enforcement yourselves, y'know, statically. [sic]

Now me? I'm just a regular schmo, city cop worked his way up to Detective. I didn't always wanna be a cop, but I tried it out and it stuck. Chasin' bad guys, putting on the heat, lock 'em up. Bam-bam-bam. [He slams the ball into his hand three times, then sits forward and grins.] It's a job, right? Just like bein' an engineer in here.

[He misses it. He misses it a lot, actually; misses his partner and the job, the satisfaction of a puzzle and a chase and locking up someone who made the world a little more dangerous.] So the rest of you: what do you do? How's it work in your world?

[Added, a few minutes later:]

By the way: I don't have my ar here to race you in, but back home I'm the last guy you wanna get into a car chase with. [He may be exaggerating slightly, but who could contradict him?] Figure I gotta keep those instinct working. I'll be there in two hours, ready to go.

Why two hours?

[Two whole hours?]

[Wait, racing? She is all over that. And just pops up at the appropriate time

Grinning in a way that should probably be worrying, come to think of it.]

Okay, let's go kick some ass.

[She's totally still allowed to do this, right? Maybe she should have asked a doctor first. Maybe that's the reason she very carefully didn't ask her doctor.]

Oh and you asked about law enforcement, right? We have the Order of Justice. They were kind of run down for a while and the militia did a lot of policing, but the general got them back up and running because she thought that was a bad idea.

I think I said I'm captain of the Kirkwall city guard. Most cities have a city guard. A lot of guards are former soldiers, but not all of them.

[Beverly's still not entirely sure how to react to Ray, as he's so unlike anyone she's met before, but she can't deny that she's intrigued by the whole detective thing, even if murder mysteries don't hold quite the same sway over her imagination after what happened to Reyga.]

You never told me you were a detective!

[ She looks thoughtful about this question. It's somewhat important; she's never considered it before. ]

I am an adventurer, but there are many titles I hold now that may work like...law enforcement?

[ Hmmmm. ] I am a soldier of the Immortal Flames, and a member of the Scions. I used to be a mercenary. All of those sort of fall into that. I think?

I am more used to racing horses than ships, so I shall be sending you my wishes for a victory, Ray.

I shall see if I cannot make you a prize for said win as well.

[ A question worthy of asking, yet one she had not considered for herself. ]

I work many jobs as an adventurer, yet I fear the one that holds the most weight as employment would be that I am a second lieutenant of the Immortal Flames, the grand company of Ul'dah.

[Wanda's face appears on the screen, a friendly grin on her face. It feels like it has been some time since she and Ray last spoke. It was good to see and hear from him again.]

Hello, "Stanley." [Obvious attempt to poke fun is obvious.] I remember you mentioning that you worked in law enforcement. I suppose you could say we both had similar jobs.

[The feed opens on a hard-edged, buzzed-cut woman with a cutting gaze. This, to her, is an excersize in posturing. It's a different world than the one she came from, but she's using what she learned as an Imperator to try and pull some clout among the fleet.]

I was a top Imperator for the Immortan. We upheld his law and protected his property. [Except, of course, when she did the exact opposite, but that's not the point she's trying to get across now.]

A position like mine is gained from overcoming the competition, and comes with great respect and responsibility. You get enough of that under your thumb, you can do nearly anything.

Detective, huh? That can be a fun one. Sounds like you enjoyed the work, even if it wasn't what you'd originally been gunning for...

[or however that must have gone. he shoots a lazy grin at the screen from where he's sitting in his captain chair.]

Law enforcement where I'm from is kind of a scramble. Severely understaffed. I wasn't on government pay or anything like that, but my group got unofficially contracted for help maybe a couple times a week.
