trade my soul for a wish

[from_scratch]

This is a successor to "call me maybe", which is getting crowded.

Cam is dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup when he feels the summons. He goes ahead and grabs it. Doesn't even drop the sandwich.

"Okay. I'll have equipment worked out and an emergency call system set up by the end of the day. You can use your discretion in picking other people to fill out the force; you people have to sleep so you'll probably need at least one more, more likely three or four. I'll send you a copy of my list of who wants to do things."

"I'll take care of it. I've been a manager before."


By the end of the day, presumably having received equipment and the far end of an emergency line, Steel has the best four candidates from the list, including herself, arranged to be available for policing 24 hours a day. No patrols are taking place yet, but she plans to implement them as the population continues to increase.

Since the stabbing incident, one of the slang names for the island has risen to near-unanimity. "Entromei," a portmanteau of the Tlane words for "merciful" and "home".

Entromei. Cam likes that enough to keep.

The city- and it is a proper city after a couple of months, with thousands and thousands of residents- keeps growing quickly. There are a few social issues and a few things for the police to deal with, but all in all things are running smoothly.

One day a representative of the Telra Senate contacts him though Steel. He would like to talk to the ruler of Entromei about entering a trade partnership with the Republic of Telra.

That's... well, hm. Cam doesn't need anything traded, but brushing them off might actually be a worse idea than having a meeting and trying to control his snark.

"Steel, you want to come along as my advisor and make sure I don't overmuch annoy anyone?"
