VOICE ✍ 004 --> Backdated to WEDNESDAY EVENING, June 29th

[chose_death]

[Inspector Javert does not make a video broadcast this time. Instead, for this bulletin, his voice sounds crisp, cold, detached, and shockingly steady considering the fact that this woman is his wife and he hasn't heard from her since before Sunday.]I am seeking a woman called Dr. Naomi Hunter. Send any information, whether she is dead or living,

[How very interesting.]

Is this Dr. Hunter a very dangerous person?

voice

[chose_death]

[Javert's voice is so dry and impassive that it is hard to say whether he is joking or not.]

She is sometimes known to have a dangerous wit.

This is a very slight woman, a waif of a girl. I do not doubt that a strong wind would blow her away, rather. Hardly capable of dangerous feats.

voice

[nie_unschuldig]

Sometimes those you least expect to be are the most dangerous.

If she is so harmless why would the police be so determined to find her?

voice

[chose_death]

The police are determined to find her the same as any missing people from this calamity.

[It is with difficulty that Javert abruptly corrects and acknowledges the following fine difference, knowing full well that as Chief Inspector of Somni City, he is the voice of the police:]

I speak this time as a man. Not as the police.

voice

[nie_unschuldig]

Ah, so it is a personal inquiry and not an official one.

I'm afraid I haven't seen the lady in question.

[Not a total lie--he hasn't seen her since the flood started.]

However, I will happily keep an eye out for her if you could provide a description or photo.

voice

[chose_death]

[There is a palpable pause while Javert silently sifts through his few 'portraits' of her with a swiftly deepening frown. He has not personally snapped any photographs of her, but Naomi had an annoying tendency of playing with the image-snapping function of these devices and placing them on his Dreamberry.

The majority of them are improper. They will not do. He chooses to describe her, curtly, imperiously, and with a certain loose abandon - as if he is not speaking directly to Schuldig but to his own collar or hand.]

She is a dark woman in a desert of whitewash, medium height. You will recognize her easy. She is well-spoken and well-mannered. But she lacks decent shame and shows herself off like a preening peacock.

voice

[nie_unschuldig]

[So it's a good thing he already know what she looks like if that's the description someone who 1) works for the police and should be able to do detailed descriptions and 2) loves her gives.]

She sounds absolutely charming. If I happen upon her, I'll be sure to let her know someone is worried for her well being.

voice

[chose_death]

That is not surprising. People find her charming. Men better than women.

[Despite his cold and brusque delivery, Javert is confident that most men would recognize Naomi on that description alone. He has a very peculiar talent of being fairly on-point with his descriptions to the extent that if said individual is glimpsed, they would know exactly who he means... but otherwise, it would sound rather vague.

If there are other details Schuldig wants, he is welcome to ask this forbidding fellow. Javert snorts.]

She knows that already. Didn't I say she isn't stupid?

voice

[nie_unschuldig]

My apologies, I didn't mean to imply anything about her intelligence; let me rephrase. If I find her, I'll make sure she gets in contact with you.

[Maybe not right away...]

voice

[chose_death]

I will expect you to pass the word on to me.

[A beat.]

So that I may give you my ... thanks.

[Even if Javert does not exactly sound like he is capable of sincere gratitude, or that he even believes this man to follow through on his word.]

voice

[nie_unschuldig]

But of course.

Good day Inspector, may you find her soon enough.
