Calibration 25 [Video/Action]

[officer_garrus]

[Just a cop patrolling the streets. A turian cop at that.]

Everywhere I look, someone's breaking the law. Bribery, grand larceny... and sometimes it feels like I'm the only decent officer in this city.

[OOC: Garrus is a not-corrupt cop in the city that never sleeps. Feel free to come up to him for whatever reason. Report a crime, heckle him, team up with him, anything goes.]

I know the feeling.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Hopefully you also refuse offers to be "bought" then.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Too often for my liking.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Well, good to know I'm not the only one in this city who refuses to bend over backwards for the seedy underbelly.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

To say nothing of how half the population could be arrested for having chemicals in their veins alone.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

That would require a bit more uncorrupt manpower than currently available, but you have a point.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure if we had the sources to arrest everyone who deserved it, we'd be left with a ghost town.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

That would still be better than the current state of affairs, if you ask me.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but it would require a hell of a lot of dirt at least.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I have no problem prosecuting anyone who's dirty.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Even if it meant risking having their goons at your throat?

[He swears one of Azula's employees is responsible for lone partiers suffering sudden blood loss.]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Only more fodder for me to prosecute. It might not be easy, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

True. It may be a thankless job here, but it would be worth it.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Glad you agree.

[pyromatique.livejournal.com]

What are you gonna do? Cry about it?

[ a u d i o ]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

No. I'm going to do something about it.

[ a u d i o ]

[pyromatique.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[ a u d i o ]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Like cracking down. Even if I have to arrest and jail everyone myself.

[ a u d i o ]

[pyromatique.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that, big guy. Let me know how it goes, huh? [ Cause he'd love to hear about it. In the meantime, Pyro will just be another useless officer in the City. He'll just be enjoying his time in the city of sin for now. ]

[Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[There's a man in the fountain. Swimming. He's drunk, roofied, beat up and tramp stamped. It's very, very early in the morning. Like around 3:00 or 4:00. Have at him Officer.]

[Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy, another partier who's obviously on something. Probably multiple things.

He approaches the fountain, tazer in hand.]

Alright, sir, step out of the fountain nice and slow.

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I thought it was a pool.

[He's just kind of standing there. The water feels good on all his cuts and bruises.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He approaches nice and slow, still keeping the tazer out.]

Alright, sir, just stay calm and we'll get you taken care of.

[He steps into the fountain and takes Dean by the arm.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Taken care of?

[Even drunk, roofied and beat up, Dean realizes that's probably code for something...]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[Tugs at Dean's arm to lead him out of the fountain and to his squad car.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean goes willingly enough, for the moment. He's sort of been beat into submission by his entire night. Also, far from in the best shape to fight someone. He steps out of the fountain, sees the squad car and goes along a little less willingly.]

Look, Officer, the kinda night I've had...I just need to find my friends and get back to the hotel.

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

You will, once we get you down to the station.

[He tugs a little more insistantly.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

I don't need to go to the station. It'll be fine

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Sir, don't make me use the tazer or handcuffs.

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Whoa, Dude! Seriously? [Dean comes to a full stop here.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

You have the right to remain silent...

[He opens the back of his squad car and starts pushing Dean into the back seat even as he continues to read Dean his rights.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Of course Dean is going to fight it. That's what he does.]

[ooc: Any ideas on how/when you want him to escape?]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Why do they always try and make a break for it? Struggles to keep hold of Dean, one hand going for the handcuffs.]

[ooc: Maybe after the handcuffs go on? Or he could try and make a break as soon as Garrus opens the car at the station? Run through Vegas in handcuffs to provide comedy. If those don't work for you, perhaps right as Garrus whips the cuffs out?]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Dude, you oughta be out there getting the guys who beat the hell outta me!

[He manages to keep hold of Dean and subdue him well enough. Not that Dean stops fighting]

[ooc: Let's go for the station. It'll give him time to gather himself and the comedy will be awesome.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He presses Dean against the hood and cuffs his hands behind him before shoving him into the car.]

I might, once you agree to cooperate.

[Gets in the driver's seat and starts driving to the station.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[He mutters under his breath about dickhead cops and settles in. If he's got to be stuck back here, he might as well figure a way out. He's got to check pockets first, see if he's got anything he can get to to pick a lock with.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

I heard that.

[Pulls up to the station and walks to the passenger side, opening the door and reaching out to grab Dean.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You were supposed to.

[As soon as the door opens, Dean barrels out, slamming one shoulder into Garrus' body. He's going to bolt as fast as he can.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Hey!

[He brings his tazer back out and runs after Dean.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean is booking it, ducking into alleys and around corners.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He would call for backup, but knowing the rest of the force, they're probably betting on who can eat the most pot brownies.

Nonetheless, he keeps on Dean's trail.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[He darts into a casino and starts running through it.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He runs into the casino after Dean. Damn it's crowded and loud in here. He could taze someone on accident.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[It's exactly what Dean was counting on and he makes sure to keep to the biggest of the crowds.]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He goes after Dean, but finds it hard to wade through the crowd.]

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean is trying to slip through the crowd without gettign bogged down. He darts into an elevator with a crowd of women, holds up the handcuffs.]

Male stripper.

[And waggles his eyebrows]

Re: [Action]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He tries to make the elevator, but the doors close right as he gets there.]

Dammit!

Re: [Action]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean will head up to the room with the girls, spend a couple of hours in a locked room and make sure Garrus is gone before he heads down the fire escape and back to his own hotel.]
