1st Testimony: Early December Catchall
[Dick Gumshoe, a local earthbending police detective who wishes he was a metalbending cop but is perpetually down on his luck. The good detective can be found at a few locales throughout the city.
A. Sitting on the steps of city hall during a lunch break. He'll be eating from a dinky container of Flameo Instant noodles while also dabbling at a sketchbook. The sketches are far from professional, but they seem to be reflecting some kind of badgermole-like creature.
B. By the police station! He'll mostly be there to do business... or just chat up everyone in the area and look for cases to latch onto. And if someone doesn't seem to belong there, he may pop over to see if they need to be questioned. He may also have a dog with him.
C. In an empty-ish lot within the spirit wilds, where he practices his earthbending. He's also set up a tin can on a dormant vine, and he'll make many a valiant, exaggerated effort to bend it. The result is him holding a ridiculous-looking pose while staring the can down for several minutes.]

[Wait... though...]
You mean like a mascot? Out in front of the police station?
[That sounds like a Varrick idea on one of his weird days...]
no subject
Yeah, something like that! That's what we've got in mind. Times have been troubling, so it'll really help to boost morale! And criminals will think rwice about messing with us.
no subject
[And seriously, she means this in the NICEST AND MOST RHETORICAL WAY POSSIBLE...]
I don't know how much a badgermole costume is going to scare down the crime rate.
no subject
You've got a fair point there, pal... We won't know for sure until we test it! But even if he can't scare enemies.. Let's not count the Blue Badgermole out yet!! He can be a real inspiration to the good people on the side. Someone for the kids to look up to!
no subject
...Does he have a name?
[She rests her hands on her hips.]
no subject
A name... Well, he doesn't have a name-name. The other guys decided we'll just call him the Blue Badgermole. Still pretty neat, eh pal?
no subject
[She can concede to that, even if the mental image of Beifong standing next to a guy in a blue badgermole suit is nothing short of hilarious.]
I'm Asami, by the way.
[Prompted by the 'pal.']
no subject
[He blinks for a moment as he puts it all together.]
You wouldn't happen to be Asami Sato, would ya? [That ultra-fashionable young rich girl who every guy wants to date and every girl wants to be and also date?]
no subject
Yup, that's me.
[She reaches out to offer a handshake and another small but pleasant smile.]

Preliminary plans for what we're going to do about all the changes that have taken place, recently. A good chunk of the roadways need to be redesigned from the ground up.
[And, of course, this has to be coordinated with Lin's department.]
no subject
Gee! That sounds like Miss Sato alright, always doing her best to help out around the city!
Let me guess... You want the police's help with your newest project, huh? Well don't worry! [He gives a confident smirk.] If you ever need someone arrested, I'm your man! All you have to do is point them out, no questions asked!
no subject
[She cracks a smile.]
No arrests, just making sure traffic can still run smoothly once construction begins.
[Which won't be for a while, but again... No Lin.]
no subject
I'm better at arresting, but don't you worry, pal! Just tell us where and when, and we'll have something set up to help you! You got a detective's guarantee!
no subject
[One more little smile at the mention of the Blue Badermole, and Asami turns to leave. She still has a lot to get done in her personal study for the day.]
It was nice meeting you.
