Reese here. Keep it under a minute, or I'm hanging up.

((Leave any and all RP/fanfic related messages here!))

The message is mostly for my partner. He...talks. Quite a lot.

What's going on?

The usual.

Cancer. Diloxin.

Cylons. Nutjobs coming back from the dead.

Religious war just getting ready to break out.

Nothing Bill and I can't handle.

I don't doubt it.

I'd offer to help, but I'm not entirely sure what an L.A. Cop could do against...are they robots? I'm not even sure how that all works.

A law enforcement officer could do wonders for the religious riots stirred up by Gaius Baltar and his followers.

META: You'd think his name was Gaius Christ or something like that.

I'm afraid we might be stretching Bill's marines too thin. But, then again, Baltar and his followers are on Bill's ship, so I suppose it's only fair that they deal with the marines when they cause trouble.

Oh, riots. Yeah, I know all I need to know about riots.

((He even grew the Jesus beard >>))

Doesn't sound like you have too much of a choice.

So you're not interested in the job?

((It was quite disgusting, in my opinion.))

I don't like the idea of anything going wrong and Bill being made to answer for it. At least if they were civilian law enforcement, I'd be the one put on the rack for it.

Who am I kidding, they'll put me on the rack whether it's my fault or not.

Didn't say that. Anyone in your ranks know who Jack Reese is?

((I bet food got caught in it when he was eating. All the time. I JUST BET.))

They will.

Why do you put up with it?

Jack Reese? Can't say as I know anyone by that name. Tory might know. My assistant, she knows everyone.

((*shudders* He has a cult now.))

What else can I do? If I quit now, that voids the bargain I made with whichever higher power is actually listening.

And if your assistant doesn't know, that's one huge point in your people's favor.

Higher power?

I have more than enough experience dealing with people and their father issues. Maybe I could help. Not that I ever did Bill and Lee that much good.

Ah, are you an atheist? Bill's an atheist. And Baltar believes in the Cylon god, which I'm willing to admit may or may not exist.

((Liiiife. The real thing, not the show XD))

Everyone's got them. Father issues -- even the ones without fathers.

I'm...not really anything. Atheists believe there's no God. I don't know if I believe in belief.
