Being here over the holidays has made me think of family and just how connected all of you guys seem to be. Despite everything, it's actually a pretty positive thing to see in a place like this. People leaning on one another, helping one another. It's nice.

...If I ask the admiral to send a few letters home can he do that? [She has some people that she wants to write to]


[Private to Dean]

....Cute. Real cute fella.

[Private to Mercer]

...I know that you're not the most social guy. I'm sorry that I bailed on you. The Holidays were kind of a bitch.

Let's talk.

Yeah, but time usually doesn't pass back home. It didn't for me, so sending letters might turn out unnecessary.

...rats.

I promised my partner I'd write to him.

[most_feared]

What's your partner like?

[He misses his like burning.]

John-John?

We came up through the academy together. [she puts a hand on her hip and tries to look as professional as a 23 year old can look.] Joined the UTF at the same time. He's...

[They have an awkward relationship.]

[Warden Filter]

[most_feared]

UTF?

[He goes there, because that's easier than inexplicable partner explanations.]

The LAPD's undead task force. Protecting you and your tax dollars since the arrival of werewolves, vampires, and the resurrection at Hollywood Cemetary.

[And here, she looks drained.]

It's hard to remember sometimes that people didn't see it. John Wayne rising from the dead was big TV.

[Considering Rooster Cogburn was on the Barge...]

Huh.

That didn't happen for us.

Do you know what happened?

Re: [Warden Filter]

[officerrenaldi]

...It's still an ongoing investigation.

[The vampires did it, but even then they're not entirely sure it was all JUST the vampires.]

The UTF is responsible for monitoring and policing all undead, supernatural and vampire activity in the San Fernando Valley extending to Hollywood California. So far-we're the only city that's effected.

[She sounds like a kid, a kid who witnessed a fight or something talking to a cop-as opposed to a cop herself]

...I was there. The only way they could think to make any headway would be to call off everybody. Anyone with a gun ended up at the Hollywood Cemetary.

It's a good job of keeping it contained. Especially if the event was wide-spread. [And you didn't have nueralyzers.]

How is the general public?

Re: [Warden Filter]

[officerrenaldi]

[She smiles then. It might be a little off. Just a little.] Ever see night of the living dead?

[But then she slips into professionalism and doesn't leave it.] It spread rather quickly.

[uneasy] ...It's really hard to explain if you're not there. I mean at one point you think werewolves are abnormal and then you're busting them and arresting them for being out on a full-moon while doing lock-down detail.

[Warden Filter]

[most_feared]

No, I think I get it. [Oh, does he ever get it.] At least the civilians dealing with it?

Re: [Warden Filter]

[officerrenaldi]

Yes.

[beat] As well as can be expected. People still think some of them sparkle.
