There's a new building just off the square in Itinere. Above the door, engraved into the white arch are the words Haven Police Department. Inside residents will find a beautifully restored police station with an open bull pen, benches, offices and meeting rooms. Upstairs there are a few jail cells. The door to the police station is unlocked and there's a blonde at the front desk. She's not wearing a uniform, but she clearly works there.

I inquired about the need for a police station a few weeks ago. There was enough interest in having one that I went ahead and wished (that will never not be weird) the police station I work at in Haven, Maine here. As of right now, we offer a variety of services, not all of them traditionally police like a security escort if you feel unsafe or just want to be safer. Of course, we'll also investigate any crime that's been committed. If you need help, give us a call. Think of us more like a security team than a police station, I guess. Anyway, I'm Audrey Parker and I guess I'm in charge here.

Those of you that I spoke to earlier about working with the police, come see me.

[ooc: if Audrey spoke to you on her other post about working for the police or with the police, consider your character hired. ]

You couldn't wish a brand spanking new updated police station into this brand spanking new world we find ourselves in? It had to be the Haven police building, huh? Of course it did.

[ Duke has some still very fresh not so great memories of that building. ]

What would I do with a brand spanking new updated police station, Duke?

[ If she knew, she would be so sorry, Duke. ]

The same thing you do with the old, out of date, and completely not with the times one you wished here. Only it'll have that new building smell, not to be confused with new car smell.

The old, out of date and completely not with the times station has heart. You can't replace that.

Well it has been alive before so... Also, totally bad pun given the state of things.

[ Duke hesitates and then sighs and sends another text. ]

Okay, so I'm gonna be patrolling, boss. Make sure people stay off the streets... from out here. Have fun doing paperwork.

Can the police do anything about the monsters pouring out of the thunderstorm?

I wish we could. The most we can do is tell you to stay inside. If you've got a basement, I suggest you go there. If you're somewhere that you feel is unprotected, I can come escort you to a safer location. We've got a basement in the police station that anyone is welcome to come stay in.

That's what I thought. Thanks anyway. I'll stay here. You stay safe too.

I'm sorry. I wish there was more I could do but...this is obviously out of my hands. I'm just trying to keep people safe right now. Thanks.

"and I guess I'm in charge here" - honey, that's no way to kick off your authority. Say it like you mean it, Aud! ;)

No, but in all seriousness, if you could shoot me a general schedule you'd like me to be there, that would be amazing. I'm trying to get back into the swing of like a normal life...not that this stuff is entirely normal, but you know. So I could use a little help in that arena.

[ That, and she's the Alpha, so it'll be nice to hand over the reins to someone else for a change and let them call the shots and make the hard decisions. That's about ninety percent of the appeal of this for Laura, if she's honest. ]

Do you have internships available?

[Blue Sargent, Detective. It sounds way better than Blue Sargent, waitress right now.]

Actually, I hadn't thought about it, but yeah. I could do an internship. Let's wait until this mess with the flying monsters is over and you can swing by the station, fill out information. What was you're name?

I'm not afraid of the monsters. I've faced demons before.

[So what if she had to kill her boyfriend to defeat the demon? Cabeswater saved Gansey in the end.]

My name's Blue Sargent. I would be happy to talk this over more whenever you have a chance, ma'am.

You may not be afraid, but you still need to be safe and careful. That's part of being on the police force. We can't help anyone if we're not safe.

Once the monsters disappear and things are safe here, come by the police department. I'll talk to you about it.

I plan on being careful.

[She's too sensible not to be careful, no matter how loud her bravado might get.]

Do you want me to prepare a resume in the mean time?

Just something letting me know your experience and skills. It doesn't have to be formal. You can drop it by the station or hold onto it and I'll go over it with you when we have that interview.

I'll drop it by next time I run out for groceries.

[Because as dangerous as it might be outside, Blue can't stay cooped up all the time.]
