IM CRYING ISAAC JUST

HOLDS IT

NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH IT

LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE-

Isaac:  

Isaac: you want coffee or water

Juni - Elisha

Elisha: Oh, water is fine, thank you!

Elisha sits!

Elisha: Very nice of you to humor my application by the way  Though to be honest, I've only decided to take this seriously because Lorelie threatened to let me go after finding out I'd gone through the trouble 

Ohyou - Isaac

LORELIE!!!!!! XJDKDHDNDB

Juni - Elisha

lorelie vc if u bother the sheriff ur gonna have to suffer for it we all know u dont need a job

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...Is that so.

Isaac gets another coffee and a glass of water, sets it down in front of Elisha before sitting with a dad groan.  

Isaac: Let's get this over quickly for both our sakes then.

Juni - Elisha

DAD GROAN

Ohyou - Isaac

NDKDJSISJ YOU KNOW THE ONE

Juni - Elisha

I DO AND IM CRYING

Elisha: Sure thing! ^__^ any questions about my qualifications?

Ohyou - Isaac

Juni - Elisha

NGNNRJGIRIGIEIGIIEIGJEJG

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: I prefer to ask my own questions.

Juni - Elisha

Elisha: Well you are a detective, that doesnt surprise me at all :) ask away!

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: So. What appeals to ya 'bout the role?

Juni - Elisha

Elisha laces his fingers together, elbows resting on the arms of the chair

Elisha: You know? some people might answer power~ Others might say community. Some people help out of the kindness of their hearts! For me personally? I am invested in the integrity of Walpurgis' safety. And there's no doubt being deputy would force me to grow as a person.

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: Uh-huh.

Isaac: ...N' what sorta experience have ya got that would help ya be a good Deputy?

Juni - Elisha

Elisha: I do know quite a bit of basic first aid~ I'm sure that's useful. And I'm experienced with violence and the macabre-- that is, I have a very strong stomach.

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...I guess that could come in handy, uh. 

Isaac: ..Then are you any good at solvin' disputes peacefully?

Isaac is raising a brow, curious about how he's gonna try answer this one.

Juni - Elisha

FNENGKOEIYOEOT

elisha just

Elisha: Yes! 

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...I need an example.

Juni - Elisha

He sighs

Elisha: I can behave when I absolutely need to~ And I like to think I'm rather good with words. It can be surprising what you can accomplish with the right words and the right reputation :> Most people hate being seen as less reasonable or less likeable than me and will back down with the right arguments. Sometimes, winning arguments means losing them, and I don't mind losing them for the sake of the outcome.

Ohyou - Isaac

The sheriff is silently studying Elisha for a moment before giving a lil huff out of his nose. Even if Elisha didn't really want this job, it was... interesting to learn how the changeling's mind worked.  

Isaac: Alright... How do you think a Deputy Sheriff should handle a case of litterin' n' ensure it doesn't happen again?

Juni - Elisha

Elisha leans forwards, resting elbows on the desk and chin in hands.

Elisha: The kinds of people who litter aren't the kinds of of people who care about others. At the best they're thoughtless. At the worst, they're intentionally negligent and self serving. They won't stop because they're caught once. There needs to be reasonable consequence and reasonable fear of being caught. 

Elisha: reasonable consequence is easy, but really varies on intention and individual. for some, the humiliation of fixing their crime is enough. others might need the inconvenience of service, making the crime not worth it. others still might be convinced by a duel. so on and so forth.

He tilts his head.

Elisha: I think equitable punishment is more important than equal punishment. 

Elisha: as for fear of being caught... you need to catch them exactly at the moment when they've performed the act. Not too early and not too late. They need to believe you're able to catch them, even when it doesn't seem like you're watching. It might be a bit too much investment for the scale of the crime though. 

Elisha: Ultimately, compensating the severity of punishment might help make up for the lack of ability to monitor in such an extreme way.

Elisha: I usually find a very thorough discussion with myself to be unpleasant enough for people to be dissuaded from repeat offense 

head in my hands why do u love to hear urself talk

Ohyou - Isaac

JKLFJDSAKLASDFKLJASDF

ISAAC IS ALSO THINKING THAT IM CRYING

Isaac: ...i mean, i think that would work with just about anyone.

Isaac: ...got any problem wtih authority n' stuff? you'll be workin' wiv' me, n' answerin' to the mayor.

Juni - Elisha

elisha hesITATES FOR THE FIRST TIME FJENFJEKF FEAR OF OLWIN 

Elisha: Well! Olwin has kept Walpurgis standing for centuries, and I certainly have no issue with you our beloved Sheriff :> 

Elisha: Of course it goes without speaking that I would say something if it felt like it were unjust or unfair but you don't strike me as the unreasonable sort, so I have no problem with listening~ 

Elisha: They say the best follower is a leader and the best leader is a follower-- that is, those that know how to listen and act can fill both roles most adeptly. Do you consider yourself a leader or a follower?

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...I mean, I'd say I was both. But leanin' towards more of a leader with my age n' work n' all.  

Isaac: Doesn't mean I ain't afraid o' listenin' to other ideas n' lettin' someone else 'ave time in the limelight.  

Isaac: Ya got any biases or issues wiv' others I should be worried about?

Juni - Elisha

Elisha:  I like people who take accurate measure of themselves. 

Elisha: And not particularly. We're all equal in the grave, after all. I was a bit wary of demons for a short while, but there are a lot of rather friendly ones in town, none of which who want to eat me, so Id say that is no longer an issue :>

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...Do ya always gotta talk like that?

Juni - Elisha

Elisha: like what :3

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: 'We're all equal in the grave'...

Isaac: Ya talk like fucking Hannibal-

Juni - Elisha

Elisha bursts out laughing and leans back again 

Elisha: Is it difficult to take me seriously? I just think it's best to put my most honest foot forward :> people should know what theyre getting into when they meet me~ I would hate for them to just fall for a pretty face and pretty words. awfully unfair! 

Elisha: also, you talk like the lone ranger, sooo glass coffins and all that

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...Lone rang- 

Isaac: Look, I was born n' raised in Texas n' just happen to be-  

Isaac: I ain't explainin' myself to you.  

Isaac: Fine. Last question.

Isaac: You good wiv' paperwork n' patrols?

Juni - Elisha

looks extremely pleased with himself.

Elisha: Both sound reasonably well within my capabilities. 

Elisha: I already make reports when I perform my current duties, and I'm physically capable of walking, running, and looking 

Elisha:  

Elisha: as long as you aren't a two headed possum outside of the town barrier I suppose :\

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: ...Quest was tellin' me 'bout your attempts.  

Isaac: I'm sure you'll get 'em next time. Just a hint of  on Isaac's face... NFKLDASF

Juni - Elisha

FHOAIWEGH TBH ELISHA'S NOT EVEN MAD CUS ISAAC'S BEEN RESPONDING EXACTLY AS HE EXPECTS TO EVERYTHING-- 

Elisha: What matters is that they were found and given to loving homes, no? 

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: In Toshi's care? Probably.

Isaac: That's it from me. Any questions?

Juni - Elisha

sits up straight 

Elisha: how long have you been a sheriff? when did you come to walpurgis? how much coffee do you actually drink a day? what did you eat for dinner last night, how long did you sleep? how much of your day do you spend with maisy? who was her mother? are you looking to retire any time in the near future? does your work fulfill you or does duty compell you? or both?

Elisha: you can ignore any questions you don't feel are appropriate :>

Ohyou - Isaac

Isaac: for about eight years. 

Isaac: been here ten years. 

Isaac: anything from 5 to 10 cups.  

Isaac: mexican food gaby made.  

Isaac: 5 hours.  

Isaac: as much as i can. 

Isaac: delilah lykanos.  

Isaac: ...i've think i've entertained you enough now. you best be goin' back to your actual job.

Juni - Elisha

Elisha: You sure have! 

Elisha: Thank you for the indulgence, it was a very eye opening experience~~~<3 

Elisha: You can just toss that in the bin by the way, I don't mind :> (nods at the folder) elisha sparkles some rejuvenation magic at him before leaving too for the trouble FHOWEIGHWOEIGH
