092 - POLICING

[bythe_books]

[Warden Filter]
We've got an inmate on the loose with no warden. He's already killed three-- no, hang on...

Four people now, by my count, and that's the bare-- the bare minimum we're talking here. Given delay between death and... [He coughs, sounding a little uncomfortable] revival, that means there could be other victims that are currently unaccounted for. We need to find him and put a stop to this before more people get hurt.

First thing, every inmate needs to be accounted for, for their own safety. If you haven't already, please check your items to make sure they're all right. For those of you with temporary assignments, I'm guessing your items won't work, so you're gonna have to touch base with your, er, unofficial inmate some other way.

Second, we need to secure every level. We should take teams of three, at least, and patrol the floors. We need to find Armand and get him contained ASAP. If anyone has any information that could help us right now, like his usual hiding places, friends, anybody he's likely go after, you need to tell us. I mean-- God, do we know anything about this bloke?

And when this is over, we need to figure out what's going on with the inmates. This whole... 'super powers' thing isn't making any bloody sense.

[Added after Armand St. Just's post:] [sigh] Make that five.

[Private to Prefect]
Stay in your room, and don't open the door for anyone until I say it's safe.

[Added Later: Private to Dr. Crane]
Dr. Crane, I'm gonna have to ask you to stay in your room and don't open the door for anybody. There's a killer on the loose, and we need to make sure every inmate's safe and accounted for.

[OOC: NORMALLY I DON'T LIKE TO CROSS OVER INTO PLOTS THAT INVOLVE MY OWN CHARACTERS... but Sam wouldn't sit around and ignore this. And I figure the flood will interrupt any policing before they catch Armand or something.]

Damn. My temporary assignment, Johnathan Crane, can someone make sure he's locked down until this Armand is apprehended?

[Warden filter]

[bythe_books]

I'll send him a message and pop by once we've got a search organised. What's his room number?

And did you ever have any encounters with Armand, before yesterday?

[Warden filter]

[fourafterfive.livejournal.com]

I'm on the firth floor at the moment. If anyone else wishes to meet up to check the area, I'm prepared.

How are unassigned inmates dealt with when they cause this level of destruction?

[Warden filter]

[bythe_books]

Usually, we subdue them and take them down to the cells for holding, sometimes until a warden's assigned to 'em. It's not the best solution, but it's about all we've got here.

Of course, usually they don't kill this many people. I don't even know-- we can't even track the bastard.

[a-bit-put-upon.livejournal.com]

My tracker is on the fritz, but my ward is accounted for. I'll explain the situation to her as best I can and ensure her safety. I'm very sorry I wouldn't be of much help on the patrolling front, but if there's anything I can do, please let me know.

[bythe_books]

Can't you... use your screwdriver or something?

[gimmethemap]

I can patrol.

[bythe_books]

Right. Talk to Evey, see if you can get a third person, and that's one group down. [Mutters] Now we just need eight more.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

What? There's killer on the loose the only advice you have is to stay in my room?


...Any idea what floor they're on?

Private

[bythe_books]

Just lock the bloody door. From the sound of it, if he doesn't have the opportunity, he's not gonna go after you.

We're making the rounds to find him.

I'M GONNA SAY ARMAND IS IN HIS ROOM AFTER HIS BAYBEE GOT TAKEN FROM HIM.

[willkissawookie.livejournal.com]

I can help make patrols.

WELL THIS WILL BE A VERY SHORT SEARCH

[bythe_books]

Great. Evey and Morgan could use a hand.

[ADDED LATER:] I never thought I'd ask Princess Leia this-- What kinds of... doors do you have?

[Warden Filter]

[peektuttut]

I can patrol.

[Warden Filter]

[bythe_books]

Thanks. If you could go with Leia, Morgan and Evey, that'll give us two groups of four.

Warden Filter

[i-cantakeit.livejournal.com]

I can patrol, but we might need groups of more than three if we have enough people willing to do it. Vampires tend to be stronger than normal humans. There's got to be a motive, but until we find it, we need to look at the facts. He's been disorganized with his kills, all over the spectrum, and they all seem like crimes of opportunity more than anything else, so right now, no one's safe.

Warden Filter

[bythe_books]

I agree, larger groups would be better, but until we get enough volunteers, our options are sorta limited.

The only thing the victims have in common is they were all alone when it happened. At least safety in numbers works in this case... for now, anyway.

[boeshane_boy]

I'll help. [By which he means kill.]

[bythe_books]

Thanks. You and Prentiss go with Sexby.

[Warden Filter]

[bybloodandhonor.livejournal.com]

I'll assist patrolling as well.

[Warden Filter]

[bythe_books]

Thanks, we need all the help we can get. D'you know Edward Sexby? He could use another to patrol with him.

Can someone make sure Elle's alright?

I've talked to her, so I know she is, but if someone could make sure it stays that way, it'd be appreciated.

[warden filter]

[bythe_books]

I'll see what I can do.

She should still have her, ah... powers, yeah? That could keep him at bay if he tries anything.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I am there. I'll take five once I have talked to Judas, I'll start searching for the man.

Good. Looks like we've got more volunteers now. Not enough to sweep every floor at the same time, but we could have maybe one start at the bottom, the other start at the top, and meet halfway.

hi, I'm late to the party. :|

[una_persson]

I'll keep an eye on things in Zero.

[bythe_books]

Don't do it by yourself. Right now, being alone is the biggest risk you can take.
