Early Morning [0800 - 0900] — All Troubleshooters Report for Duty

No Special Troubleshooters have been selected for a mission this morning.

Morning & Afternoon [0900 - 1600] — Service Firm Positions
All Troubleshooters not assigned a mission should report to their Service Firm for their daily duties, unless specifically assigned a different shift.

Matt Murdock's office will be assigned to defend the most recent Specials accused of treason. He will not be allowed to contact the traitors directly, but he will be given the task of preparing his cases. He has 48 hours to prepare.

Jack Harkness has been selected to plan the entertainment for tonight's Charity Ball, thanks to the popularity of his performances during the Alpha Talent Show a few days ago. When he asks The Computer for help, several specials are assigned to him. Izzy Lightwood will be his event planning assistant and "Stiles" Stilinski will assist in MCing the night's event. Due to their popularity, all Specials will be approached about being auctioned off for dances in order to help raise money by Jack, Izzy and Stiles. They will also be asked if they're willing to take part in specially planned choreographed dances. Dance lessons will be provided for those that require them during the afternoon hours.

Evening [1600 - 2200] — Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will begin at 1800 at the Alpha Museum of Fine Art and will be hosted by The Humanists Alpha Society for the Arts. Tickets to the event are 1000cr and can be bought up until an hour before the event begins. Attendees have been given special permission to wear Old Reckoning clothing for this event only, as long as it is the same color as their clearance level. Specials may notice that many of the Alpha Citizen's outfits have gotten key parts of Old Reckoning clothing wrong, with buttons instead of sequins, for example, or men wearing ties that are much too long and go to their knees. Alpha's Very Special Forces will be present to ensure the safety of those attending.

An entire wing of the museum has been cleared as a makeshift dance floor. In an attached room there are several tables covered in white tablecloths and set with the crystal and china that usually only graces Violet citizen tables. Along the wall is a massive buffet made with real food and including an elaborate ice sculpture. There is a bar in the corner where Alpha's finest spirits are being disbursed freely. For the first hour, the focus is on the food and mingling. The music playing is calming and instrumental. There are some that steal the dancefloor for a slow spin, but the majority of the attendees seem reluctant to move away from the buffet.

And then at approximately 1900, Jack Harkness will take the stage and begin the evening's real entertainment.

Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.

Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

Fewer complications would be nice. Although Alcide isn't sure he would know what to do without them. He's more accustomed to working around them than he probably should be. When he'd been younger there would have been a time when being with someone who wasn't a wolf, someone who wasn't pack, would be unheard of. Wolves in his world can be very insular for the most part. But at some point along the way, Alcide broke away from that way of life and that line of thinking. He's different from the rest. And he doesn't want to go backwards.

When she smiles like that, Alcide finds it hard not to smile too. His lips slowly pull into one that makes him look just a little bit goofy, he thinks, so he quickly gets that under control so that it's just a small grin.

"I like that idea. Less fancy. Smaller affair. Just you for company. I'm good with that." The song ends and they're still swaying slightly - until Alcide notices they're doing it and he stops, his hand slipping away from Buffy's waist but the hand holding hers still lingering a moment longer before letting go too. "Guess I should go find Zee... make sure she's not too drunk to stand up." He says this with fondness. Zee's his best friend.

In all honesty, Buffy wouldn't know what to do without those complications either. She probably should consider dating someone 'normal' again, but someone normal will get killed in her world. Someone normal won't understand the complications that come with being the slayer and despite the fact that she is neither slayer nor is he wolf here, she still thinks that's some of Alcide's appeal. He knows what it's like to live in the supernatural world. They understand each other.

She likes that goofy smile, likes that she can make him smile that that when he doesn't ordinarily smile like that.

Now it's her turn to smile like a goof, ducking her head so that it hides the smile a little. She doesn't notice the lack of music either, to be honest, not until he stops dancing. She nods a little, disappointed that he doesn't want to dance a little more, but he's right: he needs to go check on Zee. "Okay. Good luck. Besides, I'll see you later tonight."

Room mates, after all.
