[Javert's cold, stern expression, resplendent with authority, appears on this video announcement. To those who know him there are two aspects of his personage that are immediately out of the ordinary: the first is his lack of top hat, which he never leaves home without. The second is the bright pink-and-orange cloth adorning his shoulders. What is is that the good Inspector is wearing today, and what has happened to his thick woolen all-weather greatcoat?

Well. It turns out it's a Hawaiian-print shirt. Who would have thought Javert to be so festive (and unprofessional) for these summer months?

That's because he truly isn't.]

Considering recent events, the Somni City Police Service wants able men to fill new vacancies on the force. All departments are hiring, and the Police Training Academy will begin at the month's end as a requirement for new officers on duty. Compensation will be arranged according to the standard police salary schedule and assigned rank.

--There is also another matter of some importance: Let me remind the Public that suspicious activities must be called in to the police quickly. Police call boxes are placed around the city, or you may call or send for an officer at the nearest station in your district.

You will direct your inquiries and applications to Chief Inspector Javert of the District Five Police Station.

[Judging from Javert's loud-coloured shirt, Mac supposes the guy is soaking up the sun and enjoying some time away from work; cops need vacations, after all.]

Actually, officer, somethin' a lil' weird happened not too long ago. This big guy with an eye-patch was givin' me the creeps. He didn't hurt me or nothin', but he came chargin' at me real fast n' I had t'get the heck outta the way. Think he wanted to punch me, iunno. [The kid rubs his head sheepishly after a moment, feeling vaguely responsible.] ...I was tryin' to explain t'him what boxin' was all about 'cause he didn't know, n' I think he took it real seriously.

[He's been thinking about this for some time, more or less since his arrival. There's hardly a HeroTV here to go to, after all, but there remains a need for money (and, perhaps, a need to protect). His conversation with the Chief Prosecutor only encouraged him, and this seems to be the perfect opportunity.]

Is there anything specifically that you look for in applicants, Chief Inspector? Or the applications themselves?

[One of his detectives is having a problem with this call, and it isn't the Inspector's crime to fashion. Though that might take some getting used to... Which would probably not be possible unless she had some shades to block the brightly-colored tackiness.]

... Just men, sir?

[The Chief Inspector appraises this effeminate man with a nonplussed expression.]

The quickest way to find out is to submit your own application, [he says curtly, a hint of a French accent detectable in that cold, imperious voice.] Do you intend to?

[wow Javert some of us keep our hair in check okok.

STILL, he doesn't seem perturbed by the Inspector's manner, or his hideous clothing. Instead, he gives a nod, equally curt - though perhaps more respectful.]

[Javert chides Noel dismissively with a sharp tsk, a click of his tongue.]

Don't let's be ridiculous, Vermillion. Women have their uses in the service. You are evidence of that.

Then I suspect we shall get acquainted soon. [That scrutinizing gaze of his is powerful enough to burn holes through tarp.] What do you call yourself?

[An indecipherable flicker passes through Inspector Javert's eyes, but before Mac could even begin to comprehend what it could mean, it is gone. Javert regards Mac calmly and critically. He has carefully absorbed every word despite Mac's less-than-proper accent.]

This concerns me, I think, [remarks Javert slowly and thoughtfully. He raises his chin just a little higher.]

You will speak a full report with the central police headquarters. It is in the Government District, central sector. Request the attention of Chief Inspector Javert and Prosecutor von Karma. It will receive proper attention.

Inspector. I've a matter to be discussed with you.

Not of the catastrophe type, Inspector, but it is indeed a matter I wished to discuss privately with you before execution. It has come to my attention that a good many "dreamers" here, or otherworldy citizens, if you will, possess abilities far above the norm. In light of recent events, such individuals will be useful provided they can be initiated into service. It is my plan to recruit as many of these as possible, diving them into squads based on ability and talent. Disasters will go much smoother if we have a more cohesive understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses; indeed, I've spent my entire career doing the exact same thing.

So I can jus' walk in anytime n' ask for one of 'em when I'm there?

...Recent events? [ he's new and has no clue what's going on. ]

[... That shirt looks kinda weird- Wait, focus on what was said, not what he's wearing!]

Uh yes, I have not been here for very long but I would like to join. I am Asbel Lhant.

Inspector Javert, I must speak with you about something important.

[Sora shades his eyes as if he were shading from the sun. That is one bright shirt, man.]

If you're looking for someone, I definitely want in!

This is a new one, then, [Javert murmurs mysteriously, his eyes steady and cold. Those are a pair of eyes that do not miss a tic.] You will discover for yourself soon enough.

[And then he curtly barks a question of his own:]

How long has it been since your arrival here?

[Javert eyes this unfamiliar face criticially, a deep grimace drawing his thin lips tight.]

What is your age? You are a teenager?

[Oh, Asbel will get work either way, but age will determine whether he will be dropped into apprenticeship or the full police academy. Javert is quite a bit too old to accurately estimate the teenager's legality.]

So I shall listen, Madame. [Javert's tone, though curt and stolid, is very professional and respectful.] Does the matter require a meeting? Or will it be spoken here?

Edited 2011-08-09 14:06 (UTC)

Indeed, I am looking for someones. I believe I made that clear.

[Javert looks closely at this boy, a pinch of a frown just beginning to emerge at the corner of his mouth.]

What position do you want?

No. You did not hear me properly. It is difficult to arrange a lengthy meeting with these fellows. Time is very short.

It is the reception at the front that will take your report. The officers there will handle you correctly, but you must follow my instructions.

I swear to you I will see your report myself.

[ Itachi's ruby red eyes stare straight into the screen. ]

Two days ago.

Very new, [remarks Javert through his teeth. Those red eyes, though unusual and (in his experience) the mark of a man with something dreadful to hide, are not enough to rattle an unflappable, cold and poised man such as the Inspector. He meets that gaze steadily with his gray irises.] But it is that time, after all.

There was some disordered rioting of sorts, a group of like-dressed scoundrels making an ugly scene. The danger is already past. The month is a new one. Don't concern yourself about it now.

Edited 2011-08-09 15:33 (UTC)

[Snatching a piece of paper, he pens down a few notes, falling silent momentarily as he does so.]

Thanks, sir. ...Guess I'll, uh, get goin' then.
