This is just a reminder that the Salvation House soup kitchen could use a few more volunteers. I'll be there tonight. I hope to see some familiar faces around, too.

We've got a great city here, but remember: under the glitz and glam, there are a lot of people out there facing hard times-- a lot of them drunks. Maybe if you see their faces, get to know them, it won't be so easy to head to the gin mills. [Which Arthur knows you're totally doing right under his nose. TEMPERANCE, PEOPLE.]

[SPAM]
[Officer Arthur (everyone's on a first-name basis with him, okay) is making the rounds on his beat today. Say hello to him, citizens! Or, if you're involved in a life of crime, run away. Unless you're one of the little urchin orphans, in which case he'll probably give you a nickel or dime for information (and a cool 50 cents if you look particularly hungry) and send you on your way.]

[OOC: LOL I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PLAYING A COP WHO ISN'T SAM TYLER. Anyway, Officer Arthur is an earnest, idealistic cop, who just wants to serve Lady Justice, okay. He won't go after any crooks without EVIDENCEEEE, so feel free to troll him if you're a scumbag who's just out of his reach /fist shake

Actually, just troll him anyway. He's too earnest.]

[The Commisioner's daughter gives you a fond little smirk, Arthur.]

I'm sure that will convince them, Officer.

I just hope it'll give them something to think about.

Something to rant about, more likely.

People's priorities in this city are upside down. It's like if they don't see something or someone, they forget about them.

Nobody sees the faces until they're in the morning paper. People in this city have selective vision.

[ Satsuki is a street cop with OCD tendencies and a hard-on for law and order. ]

Whatever happened to looking out for your fellow man? People think this city is one big party.

Most people are inherently selfish. That's exactly why the city needs responsible law enforcement officers such as ourselves.

I just wonder if we're doing enough. [Some days, it feels like the criminals have the run of the place.]

Does that mean you're going to volunteer?

If I have the time. There's far too much work to do and far too few people to do it.

Well, you don't have time to feed them all.

Oh sorry, completely my fault... Oh! Arthur! How are you? [ The busy Irish school teacher had very nearly walked into him, he was busy reading a book as he walked which he had a bad habit of doing.]

Don't worry about it. [Arthur offers a friendly smile. Doyle's a good man; one of the few in Redemption.] Just working my beat, making sure people stay out of trouble.

What about you? How are the kids? [Arthur may have gone and spoken at the school one or two times. He's just that much of a boy scout.]

Hopefully ya haven't had too busy of a day then. [ He spoke closing the book he was holding once the page was marked. Arthur was good people so he enjoyed the times he could speak to him.]

The kid's be fine, I'm a bit worried about one o' em but I'm sure it be nothing to concern meself over. You know if you'd like later this week we have a gap between the lessons if you wanted to stop by and speak to them again. [ Best teacher ever. Cops all the time~!]

Inspiring.

I make this call just about every week. So far, it hasn't inspired much. [And yet he's still gonna try.]

Someone might as well try. Getting through to one person's better than no one.

[She sounds a little bleary - there was a party last night, okay? - and hungover, but still smiling.]

I can probably be there. [Nothing wrong with a little charity work between nightclub hopping.]

[It's a good thing this is voice, so she can't see his goofy smile.]

Glad to hear it. I'll save you a ladle.

[But she still knows! She knows. And she's got a goofy smile, too.]

Can we go for taffy afterwards?

....Well hell kid. Maybe I'll drag my rookie over and have him help out. donate to the cause. [Hoffman will watch and possibly drink himself. Sorry ~~Blake~~ Arthur]

[DAMN IT, STOP DRINKING, MAN. SET AN EXAMPLE.] The whole precinct should come out and give it a try one day. It'd probably do a lot for morale.

Only way to stop criminals on the street is with policework. Not charity work. But I admire the initiative.

[Here is a little urchin orphan peering at you, Arthur. She's never quite sure what to make of cops, but this one always seemed all right - not brutal for the sake of it, like some.]

You remain a better man than I.
