[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 3578588, member: 11520"] The smudged flyer nailed to the bulletin board caught your eye. Despite smoky morning light and the light snowfall the official Magistrate's seal and the large crudely lettered 'I. I.' were clearly visible. The 14th ward needs you! Men and Women of action, Ignatious Ironshirt, Magistrate of the 14th Ward is looking for qualified applicants to protect the peace and good order. The special investigative squad is in need of new recruits. Guard, Military, Watch, or Investigative experience preferred but not required. If you have honor, a desire to serve, and the taste for a challenge then the 14th Ward wants you. Present yourself to Ignatious Ironshirt in the second hour after high noon on the 13th at the Magisterial offices. Uniforms and Arms provided to successful applicants. - [signed] I. I.
