Anyone who's been with the department for any length of time would have dealt with her father at one time or another. I can also see some people resenting her, the idea that's she got the job because of her family connections and not because of her abilities is going to stick in some people's minds.<br/>The weight if expectations has been dragging her back a little, so she's a couple of 'dumb rookie' mistakes like leaving important bit of kit back at the station but nothing that would cause a case to fall apart or put anyone in danger.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I think Maxon wouldn't have the above problem so much, since he understands the whole family footsteps thing. Usually if a family is good at something, you don't change it. That said, she is still a bit of a 'rookie' and he's hyper conscious of simple mistakes at times. Since those are the ones that will get him found out. So he likely keeps an eye on her, though it's hard to say if she thinks that helpful or him being a dick.<br/><br/>Otherwise, Maxon is a real unit player. Comes from his time in the service. I see him having tons of respect for the Lt., given the man's a decorated hero. More so because he's managed a family life with the job, something he never could. That also likely lends toward some envy.....<br/><br/>I'm not sure what exactly he'd think of Cassidy. Likely the type of gal that he'd shake his head at in public, but laugh about the somewhat geeky things she does. I'd say he's fond of her, but I'm still uncertain on how interactions with them might be.<br/><br/>I'd say he probably isn't too fond of how Andy turned out after everything happened, but he gets it. He lost buddies himself and some to suicide, so he just gives the man the space he needs. Though he'd try to make himself available to talk to if he ever needed, ya know, when his mouth isn't attached to a bottle of jack.<br/><br/>Those are the first thoughts off my head.<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=250426.msg12380905#msg12380905">Quote from: Chrystal on 04-06-2016, 15:43:25</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'm assuming everyone is waiting for EJ to post first in the IC thread?<br/><br/>While I have no problem with this, if anyone is bored and wants to post, just think what your character might be doing at 6:30 on a Monday morning...<br/><br/>Most would be just getting up, getting breakfast etc...

Looks like that will be slow going, though; so I'll write it out soon.
