Several weeks ago Captain Rogers asked who would be willing to help patrol in emergency situations. He's relayed the information to me. Since everyone has very unique qualities, I will refrain- for now- from making too tight a schedule. However, if the situation is dire enough, please try to take directions as to who has to go where.

I've made a list pairing people according to their strengths.

Iris Wildthyme & Loki Laufeyson.
Sergeant Bucky Barnes & Stephanie Brown & Helena, if she wishes.
Arthas Menethil & Lydia Martin.
Kira Yukimura & Peter Parker. Preferably on deck and the upper levels.
Eugene Sledge & Steve Rogers. Preferably vital areas.
Ben & Souji Okita. Preferably vital areas.
Luna Lovegood & Jax Teller.

[Handwritten lists are left on the doors of those involved!]

Please let me know if you object to any of these, and we will find a way to make this work out as best as we can. In extreme situations we will patrol in shifts of 4 hours, allowing everyone enough rest to work at maximum capacity. Those with increased abilities should feel free to patrol alone or with other teams after their regular shift has finished, of course! But please don't strain yourself, for your sake as much as that of others.

If anyone else would like to volunteer, please let either myself or Captain Rogers know, so we can be as organized as possible. And if everyone feels the arrangements are alright, I believe Miss Lovegood and Miss Wildthyme have offered to help us practice...?

Excuse me, young man. I think I were quite clear when I talked to Steve that I don't do any part of my work according to someone else's roster or timetable.

[mistconduct]

Be gentle with my goddamn inmate, Iris. He's a fragile duckling.

[routemistress]

I'll swaddle 'im in bubble wrap and roll 'im round the 'allways, Chris love, I promise.

[tricksandmischief]

I thought the implication was that I would be patrolling with you, my warden. Did you refuse?

[sharpsurprise]

I apologize, ma'am, I wasn't aware. But under difficult circumstances, planning is essential, don't you think?

Would you still be willing to patrol with Mr. Laufeyson?

[routemistress]

I've got no problem with Loki. I rather like 'im, actually. And I'll let you and Steve know when I'm patrolling; I'm just not up for doing it to a timetable. I'll only forget or get distracted if I try, routine's never been my strong suit.

I usually go when I need to 'ave a good think.

[brains_before_bullets]

I don't remember signin' up for this.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Oh, did I forget to mention?

I signed us both up.

[brains_before_bullets]

...Why?

[sharpsurprise]

Ah, as Miss Lovegood said. I think you'll be quite capable!

[brains_before_bullets]

That's what folks've been sayin'.

Keeping busy I see.

[He hadn't gotten the opportunity to ask Vergil about this- and now feels slightly guilty. Still, though: nothing that can't be changed!]

I was getting a little bored, yes! But it seems practical, doesn't it?

Would you like to help?

[ There was no need to feel guilty.]

A man should keep busy, idleness does no good. And no, I would not care to be part of this. I was merely commenting.

[tricksandmischief]

And what strengths exactly make myself a good match with her?

I expected to be paired with my own warden.

[sharpsurprise]

Endurance. Strong personalities. I'm sure it's a match!

A warden. If you'd like your warden to join you, I'll ask him if he wants to. Would you?

[lydiascreams]

Thank you for organizing that, Souji!

I spoke with with Steve and I'll gladly help with schedules, and whatever organizational issues you might have.

[Souji & Steve]
[And then she switches to private because they should be aware of the issue.]

I have no problems at all with my partner and I'll gladly go patrolling with Arthas. But because of what I am, and of what he is, being around him might become a problem with my abilities. If it does, I'll ask to be partnered up with someone else. [If she had control over them, it might not be an issue, but that's not the case.]

[sharpsurprise]

Oh, it was no trouble at all! Thank you for your help, Miss Lydia, I think we'll need it!

[Private]
I'm sorry, I hadn't- I'm sorry. Would you like me to change your partner now?

[Private]

[punched_hitler]

Oh - yes, of course, Lydia. [He does appreciate she's willing to give it a try, but he also appreciates that she'll come forward if it doesn't work.] If it's not a good match, we'll make something else work. This isn't about forcing anyone into anything, because that's not going to help any of us, right?

And thanks for the organizational help. I still think the more eyes on this, the better.

[myresponsibility]

Sounds good to me.

[sharpsurprise]

Thank you, Mr. Parker.

[darknessb4me]

Fine with me.

[sharpsurprise]

Wonderful!

[warisart]

[Ben is typically difficult to read, his expressions subtle, his physical fidgeting held to a minimum; now is no exception. The tension in his shoulders and the line of his jaw isn't exactly uncharacteristic, or it might be, it's hard to say.]

Perhaps we should start with formal introductions then, sir. My name is Ben, designation X5-493.

[sharpsurprise]

[Souji, on the other hand, is pretty easy to get a read on. He looks relaxed, if a little more distant than how he usually behaves.]

Mh! My family name is Okita, my given name is Souji. What would you like me to call you?
