Vincent Valentine.

Report.

White Fang employees, you heard the consensus. Mind the ghosts, do not attack them and do not let them touch you on pain of becoming a bunch of salt. If possibly stay out of confined areas and make sure you have room to retreat if one appears.

Val, Tseng, this goes for both of you as well. I will not be pleased if I find out either of you were careless.

[Private to Cyrus//Unhackable]

I want a closer look at that thing above the clock tower, so I don't have time to come pry you out of whatever lab you're no doubt entrenched in. Please don't turn into salt while I'm gone. That would be very inconvenient for myself and my Lady.

It's come to my attention, given the slow regrowth of the monster populations, that it might be a good idea to move some of White Fang's more dangerous research to an isolated and more secure facility. Just in case. And I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I've already picked out a location.

Blah blah blah official announcement about Riget blah blah

This building will need some work to make it usable and ~~relatively~~ safe, and I'm not going to force anyone to move over here that would prefer to stay in the main White Fang building, being as close as it is to the Hospital. However, I've been watching this place for some time now and can assure everyone that the Hospital monsters do not seem to be in residence.

Volunteers for the clean-up operation are welcome, and as always White Fang is hiring.

Ah.

Perhaps a two part dedication, since my sweet guide has found her way back to us.

If the heart of a man is depressed with cares,
The mist is dispelled when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears,

Roses and lilies her cheeks disclose,
But her ripe lips are more sweet than those.

Press her,
Caress her,
With blisses,
Her kisses

Dissolve us in pleasure, and soft repose.

Dedicated as always to miss Noriega, and to Citrine's return.

Ahem.

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day;

My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.

An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;

An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.

The grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.

Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,

Now let us sport us while we may;
And now, like am'rous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.

Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Won't you reconsider?

((OOC: YES COMPLETELY PUBLIC.))

Well well. What timing.

White Fang. If you wish to continue working for this organization under new management, please report in here. Anyone who doesn't reply or asks to be let go will be considered released from the roster without consequence, and free to make their own way.

That being said, we're hiring. Anyone who wishes to move to the upper level needs a job and I'm willing, in this crisis, to employ just about anyone who can offer a useful skill.

Also, you should all come work for me because I'm much prettier than Mr. Schenberg.

[Private to Kadaj//Unhackable]

...

My apologies, Citrine.

May you be cursed with interesting times when you get home, and never complain again of boredom.

~~I'm sorry I~~

Good luck.

All members of White Fang.

~~I waited too long to~~ I have a proposition for you.

Some of you may remember me under the name 'Duke,' some of you may not know me at all. I had the fortune to meet and ~~sort of~~ befriend Treize Khushrenada when he was still here, and furthermore had the opportunity to ally with his organization. Citrine mentioned White Fang's dwindling numbers and lack of leadership with the recent disappearances. No doubt some of you now wish to reconsider your employment and move to Celestial Being or find something more mundane to support yourselves with during this crisis, and I can't argue against doing so. Everyone must do what they feel is necessary.

But that also goes for myself, and I would like to offer an alternative. Let me keep White Fang alive. There will be people who find themselves unable to accept either Celestial Being or another organization's ideals and methods or perhaps the mere presence of some of their members. The city needs balance. More than that, in the current crisis we need organizations that can provide for citizens not only physical resources that cannot be obtained by individuals but also the chance to move to the upper level.

I'm asking for a vote. Anyone who would rather leave White Fang is free to do so. Anyone who would like to see it continue under modified management, please inform me here.

Oh. The name is Valentine, now, but I'll answer to anything complimentary and to that old alias for simplicity's sake.

[Private//Unhackable]

Rude. Reno. I'll be going to collect Val now. Also, if either of you joins Celestial Being while I'm not looking, I'll be very upset with you for at least three to five minutes.

Kids. Now that we've gotten that little misconception out of the way...

You and your boyfriend with emo hair owe me. I'm thinking a date, or liquor, or both.

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 19:33:23 GMT

It's come to my attention that I should probably be getting a job, whether this is a dream or not. I suppose I've nothing better to do.

Valentine's the name, since I had it first I'm keeping it, thank you. My skills include looking this good and commendable modesty.

I've been a chemist, monster-hunter, bartender, university professor, archeologist, professional motorcycle racer, crocodile wrestler, model, and for a very brief period I was an addition to the harem of Empress Shiwashabani in her remote jungle kingdom.

Oh. And a secret agent.

All job offers or propositions should be directed below.

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 02:51:41 GMT

I don't have much time on here, it seems, Vi--doctor's orders, so I'll be brief.

Any issues anyone in this city has about the conduct of my employees in a professional degree may be brought up to me, and I take full responsibility for their actions while on company time. In a similar vein, I consider attacks on my employees as attacks on this company, which I will take very, very personally and will respond accordingly. Consider this your fair warning.

[Department filter]

Sasuke and Citrine, you two are still officially in charge. I will of course be around, but I can't justify taking back all control just yet. Both of you are highly capable and intelligent individuals. Act like it.

Also. I see Sephiroth and Genesis are here. Turks, keep your distance.

I need two volunteers as well.

And if someone could tell me what the rolling fuck happened to Soma Peries.

[Private to Val]

Valeria.

[Department + Turks//Open To Public]

As my lovely cohort miss Valeria pointed out, I'm overdue for an official announcement. Due to both the recent influx of new arrivals and monsters, I'm establishing a semi-permanent monster hunting contract with a much more attractive pay rate than the bounties, which of course are rated by the value of the materials brought back and are open to everyone in Purgatorium. All agents are still free to accept or not accept said contract.

In addition, we've gained a few new employees. I'll be updating the list when I can be bothered or when I can sweet talk my secretary into doing it for me.

As always, anyone interested in employment may get in touch with me below.

The lab in the basement of the Department Headquarters also has something of a staff now, so feel free to pester them about weapon upgrades or anything else sciency you might need.

As for the dolls, they have not proven themselves any more than an irritant. I can't recommend any official action just yet, except to keep alert when traveling.

[Turks Only//Unhackable]

I want the names of everyone who has manifested this 'tattoo.' There may be a common element in those who have been marked.

[Aizen + Hayato + Cyrus//Unhackable]

I'm going to need a large number of small scale anti-personnel explosives. Anyone who doesn't know how to build one, ask me or one of the others who does. The raw materials should be more than provided for.

And quickly, please.

[Private to Adam//Unhackable]

Got a moment?

[Private to Vincent//Unhackable]

Keep an eye on your friend Strife, will you? The Jenova siblings seem to have an interest in seeing him dead, which I would prefer didn't happen.

[Private to Val//Unhackable]

You and Valentine are in charge if something happens to me. Understood? I don't want to have to argue about it later. Also, if you would keep a close eye on Celestial Being, I would greatly appreciate it.

[Private to Cissnei//Unhackable]

Hi. A bossy minion of mine mentioned official debriefing, which sounds like something a responsible person would do, so drop me a line here and I'll answer any questions you need answered. Also, just so you know, you're already hired on with my company unless you tell me otherwise.
