[today, Plane-goers, is a special day! for you see, today we have sighted the elusive 'Guv' in his natural habitat: the pub. or as natural as a pub comes on the Plane, meaning he's at the Astral Bar. because really, when isn't he. but today is different, because the Guv isn't drinking, though he sourly wishes he were. no, today, this terrifying animal has in front of him actual, honest-to-god paperwork

you see, Plane-goers, on occasion, the Guv will stop being boorish and actually look at casework. the reasons behind this unusual behaviour differ, but for today, that reason is nightmares, and what better way to soothe a distraught mind than with pointless, nancy paperwork?

yeah, that's what the Guv thinks, too]

Bloody hell.

[wry smile] They didn't like it when I beat up too many people. [shakes her head as she slides him his glass] Worse. Suddenly he's the head of the most corrupt law firm in Los Angeles.

Too much paperwork, they say. [snorts] So go in there and drag his arse out.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Did I mention they employ literal demons?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Point?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[wry grin] It'll take a bit of planning. For now, I'm brooding.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Just don't do it too long. Good coppers don't sit around feeling sorry for themselves. Even if they're birds.

[wry, wistful laugh] You sound like my lieutenant.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Smart bloke, then.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

He is. Or was. [more drinking, yes] Haven't seen him in years.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

He go join the bloody cult, too?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Nah. I got fired.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Was it worth it?

[after a moment, she meets his gaze steadily] Yeah.

There are a lot of cops in the world. Most people have no idea what goes on under the surface. More of us need to fight it.

[just nods at that, understanding what she means]

So long as you keep doing right, you should be fine, luv. Not enough people give a damn about anything anymore.
