[Your friendly neighborhood Ukitake strikes again! He's sitting at his desk today with a blanket draped over his shoulders as he periodically sips some tea.]Good morning, Adstringendum! I hope everyone has recovered from last week and isn't too embarrassed by learning things you might not have wanted to know. Or if you found a way to get a laugh

Would you mind listing some of the improvements you've been involved in, as well as any previous experience with public office you might have?

Happily. I was a part of the original "Police Force" before it went quiet after Roy Mustang's disappearance (the time before last), but for the most part I offer my best skills as a fighter. Whenever a crisis arises here, I try to keep everyone calm and level-headed or, if things escalate too far, I help defend the city by actually fighting. The most recent example I can remember is when Madara tried to take over the entire city, but I, along with others, sealed him before he could do more damage at the end.

As for previous experience, I am a Shinigami captain in Soul Society. I was part of one of the first classes at the Spiritual Arts Academy and then became one of the first captains of the Gotei 13, heading the Thirteenth Division specifically.

Fighting the good fight is nice and all, but when/if you're ombudsman you'll probably have to put that sort of thing aside.

I'm sorry to ask again, but were you involved in any improvements to the city itself? And if not, what improvements are you intending to implement in the future?

I understand that. It's a good thing there are others who can fight just as well in my absence.

I did not have a hand in any of the physical improvements, but I would absolutely incorporate organization first and foremost. There are many of us here who are gifted in various ways, but if they went out and tried to fix things on their own, I imagine it would only end up in chaos and possibly without the intended results. As such, I know that parts of the city do not have running water and/or electricity and while we have gotten by without them, they are improvements that would be worth the trouble if we can find a way to create and stabilize them.

[She will stare at this for a bit, before a light giggle escapes her lips. You're adorkable Uki.]

So you can be quite adorable when you want to be.

[Now to the other matter at hand.]

I saw that…about the ombudsman, but I don’t know what this ombudsman is supposed to do, so maybe a bit of more explanation about it will be greatly appreciated.

[He bows his head, though he's smiling.]

Yes, so I've been told.

The ombudsman is someone who will listen to the people and try to implement what they want to see in the city. He will not be a man in power, but a means to getting things done. Of course, everyone should vote for who they think will do the best.

[You amuse him far too much some times, Ukitake.]

That's the worse campaign slogan ever.

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

What slogan? I am speaking on behalf of all of us.

[Which he is, actually. Daddy is not a biased creature.

...Just sneaky.]

[reflectivedawn]

Be safe, be prepared and vote!

[The words are accompanied by wild hand gestures.]

[taichou_tb]

And it is all very good advice.

[Castiel looks a bit worn out, but he leaves it on video anyway, simply because he's never actually spoken to Ukitake before and video works best for unfamiliar people, he's discovered.]

You are one of the candidates, correct?

[The only one he doesn't know, even if he's seen him on the network various times.]

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

[And Ukitake has seen Castiel before, but never managed to meet him. How fortunate they have this moment, now.]

I am, yes.

[wingsandwill]

You are the only of the three I am not familiar with.

[He's not particularly concerned about this election of the ombudsman position now that it's Nat heading the police force rather than Jean Louis, but still.]

[Video]

[taichou_tb]

I would be more than happy to change that.

[Voice]

[taichou_tb]

Yes. It isn't the best place to end up, but because of that, shouldn't we try to make it the best we can while we're here? A welcome is the first step.

[Voice]

[taichou_tb]

It happens occasionally.
