!!ON DUTY!!

💥Kind, and ain't afraid to cry, and treat his mama right. That's right, that's what I LIKE💥

It has come to my attention that this space has been... neglected.

This was not intentional, nor due to a lack of commitment. Quite simply, I forgot this blog existed for a time.

Between work obligations and matters best left undocumented, posting fell out of habit. There is no deeper reason — no mystery, no dramatic absence.

Posts will continue when possible. Though consider this less a promise than a simple acknowledgment.

[duke-detain]

I get it captain, with all the things happening in the city, I'd sometimes forget about this blog too! But it's time to dust it off, I should be back to proper duty in no time. Extra shifts included.

I should also get back to my apartment soon, I don't actually know what's happened to it since I'd been taken in by Vito—

[just-vito]

You’re movin’ out? DeTain it’s been like 9 months, your lease has DEFINITELY expired.

[duke-detain]

I'm sure I can work something out! I've got my 8 years worth of salary still just sitting around somewhere. I can't stay with you forever, at least— I don't think so.

[just-vito]

… but think of the lease paperwork… the applications and the contracts…

[duke-detain]

Hmm... Paperwork does require me to sit still for more than five minutes... Unless I do my activities in the office— Surely that's allowed.

I know you can't wait to get your free time back. So don't you worry Vito, I'll be out of your hair in no time.

I think with two Dukes now you don't need to do double shifts because that IS a double shift.

That's— Huh...

Well, I don't count it as a double shifts, letting my double take a shift and taking the credit? That's the easy way out. And the easiest way is rarely the best way.

Duke detain law. Except for y'know, coffee. Instant coffees the best way, ooh! Or bought out— During a nice drive/chase sequence? Yeah, that hits the spot in the best ways.

I should get some later, haven't had a good drink in ages!

[lt-duke-detain]

Between the two of us I think we were usually covering three full shifts. 24/7 Duke coverage. I hate being on leave, I'm already bored and twitchy leaving the city to rely on just one Duke. :(

[duke-detain]

I getcha, took me a while to be able to sit still right.

Well— it took a person not letting me go to sit still right but still—Don't worry. I'll take full for the both of us til youre all better and ready for action! The city's safe with me.

[just-vito]

It’s been like a month and he still pouts like a little kid when he gets reminded that somebody got to make an arrest in a freakin’ mech and he didn’t get to.

[officer-kasey]

Is getting to use a mech that cool? ¯ ▽ ¯ ;

[duke-detain]

How dare you even question that.

[officer-kasey]

I didn't mean it as an insult! They just seem like last resort tools to me. If you like them I know Duke, the other duke, has a proposal to add them to the force. You could join him on that effort! ´°▵°`

[duke-detain]

WE CAN HAVE MECHS? Give me approximately 45 minutes of sulking about it. And I'll be right out this door.

[duke-detain]

They're finally distracted enough for me to get my phone.

You know, for two crooks, they're weirdly strict about some things! I haven't been on the streets as much as I need to, because what do you mean I'm not able to have double shifts?! Is this their way of plotting to make sure I don't catch any more crimes? I won't fall for it, what would the kids say? THE duke detain, slacking off??? I can't believe I let it get this far...

[lt-duke-detain]

Oh hey you’re the original Duke! I’ve never seen you online before. You live with Vito right? I can only assume I’ve been picking up all the shifts that you haven’t been working. Now would be a really good time for you to get back to it though… I have to put in a leave request, I’m hurt.

[duke-detain]

Oh hey! You're the Duke Vito's been grumbling about! I never got to catch you on shift... Nice to finally meet you! But, yeah, don't worry. I've got you covered from here! You can leave it to me.

Hopefully I don't get carried out again, have you ever been carried out? It's an oddly persuasive tactic.

[lt-duke-detain]

The Inventor carried me out of the lab with his robot arms this morning or last night? My timeline is a little fuzzy. I didn’t find it very persuasive though. Mostly I was dizzy and felt like I was going to fall.

Great to actually meet you though. I’m on my way to debrief and talk with @officer-kasey and then I’m putting in that leave request.

[duke-detain]

You get on that. Maybe we can work together sometime! When you feel better, that is. I've always wanted to know what it would be like to have a replica of myself as a crime fighting partner!

[lt-duke-detain]

I don’t think there would be a crook anywhere we can’t catch! Frankie’s oldest kid does give me fits, I’d like to see him get away from two of us! I’m looking forward to it.

[duke-detain]

Geez, Frankie's got so many kids I lost track after the first few. 😅

[lt-duke-detain]

The newest one is a changeling or fairy or something! People love giving that guy more kids.

[duke-detain]

HAH! I knew fairies were real! Daisy owes me ten bucks.

[lt-duke-detain]

Oh man, speaking of supernatural creatures, you know VAMPIRES are real? That one really threw me for a while.

[duke-detain]

VAMPIRES ARE REAL? Oh geez, they aren't like, the dangerous are they? I don't think Allen would appreciate needing to worry about vampires now. 😅

[lt-duke-detain]

I have been assured by multiple people and one vampire that they are not in fact dangerous!

… Are you not afraid of vampires?

[duke-detain]

Not at the moment! I'm more of a... Assess how scared I have to be of something in the moment kind of guy.

Except for spiders... Terrified of those.

[lt-duke-detain]

Huh. Well I’m not scared of spiders, so if you’re ever trapped by a spider I’ll come put it outside.

[duke-detain]

Thanks. And if you ever need to negotiate with a vampire, I'm one call away. :D
