justicereigns | [ voice ] Confiscating Pirate Ships, hello new feathers, teaching self-defense

Hello new feathers and old.

First off, I'm Captain Smoker. [Those who know otherwise can point out that he's a commodore, and that it doesn't even matter in this place.] I teach kickboxing, basic self defense, and jitte for anyone who would need it. I can also help spar against swordsmen if they're looking to expand their skills. Every so often a draft goes out taking people at random; kids and civilians alike, so even a little bit of practice can help. There are other self defense classes being taught so I'm sure we could work something out between teachers and create a formal schedule if need be.

Secondly, there's a lot of discussion about putting together a more permanent form of police or watch group to deal as first responders to threats to the village. Since that doesn't seem like something that will get worked out too easily, I'd like to suggest making a safe haven of the barracks. Anyone who can't or doesn't want to fight could safely put there in emergencies and defenders could keep watch.

On a different note; Jack Sparrow I'm confiscating your ship. Your previous acts of piracy here in Luceti have shown you're not to be trusted with one. Now let that be a lesson to other would-be pirates here.

[ooc: yeah, no, even Smoker doesn't expect that to work so feel free to tell him to fuck off. He just promised to give it a try, and he misses beating up pirates =\ Anyways, please do yell at him for overstepping bounds, though he really won't give a fuck.]

Opportune?

[THIS is how much he pays attention to what's happening around him.]

Oh, nothing~ [Yes, let's keep that whole, I've been nearly killling people for awhile now "thing" under wraps.]

I just like to see a good man at work.

[Filter | 100% ]

By the by, I've moved residences. I don't believe I'd had the chance to tell you, love.

[OH GRELL. This is the most fail relationship... But since he thought she was part fishman, that should have been an indicator.]

Heh, I do my best. [Blush. Blush.]

[Filtered]

Oh? Where to?

[Yeeeeeah, he's sexy, but kind of dense on some things. That's alright. She doesn't mind.]

And your best is certainly lovely.

House 11. With the darling little Elizabeth Middleford. She's a cutie. From the same place as I am. And, as you know, girls simply must stick together.

[What a relief. Probably...]

Hah... quit it.

[Filtered]

Oh! Of course I know her. She's in some of my lessons. All right that's good, two of my favorite people here can look after each other.

[...Probably.]

Oh, you'd be upset if I quit.

[Filtered]

Has she now....? How.... [beat] Interesting. I would not have thought she'd be in for that sort of thing.

[And the girly routine is back.]

Oh, you flatterer! You'll simply have to come by sometime. I'm sure she'd love to have you over.

And you know I do.

I dunno... I think I could survive.

[Filtered]

Oh? Then don't tell her you know. She's extremely capable. I'd almost pit her against my Ensign except that I actually value Tashigi too much to lose her.

[...]

Hah... [Mumbles and clears his throat.] I'll see what I can do.

Nfu, is that so? Maybe I should then. See how you enjoy it.

[Filtered]

Most interesting... I shall keep her secret as you wish, love.

And flustered again? I'd think you'd be over that by now.

It'd be fine. [Sulking though.]

[Filtered]

Thanks.

I'm not flustered... che... well only a little. But I'll stop by. Let me know a time Elizabeth doesn't mind.

Perhaps you flourish under a cold shoulder as much as I?

[Filtered]

I'll be sure to ask. She does love to have company over. Helps...liven up the place. [pffft - living]

Heh, all right, maybe not that much.

[Filtered]

I'll come help cook some night or other. [He's not the best, but at least he can survive off his skills. Bachelor and all. And yaaay death joke.]

Nfu, I didn't think so. [She lets out an amused sigh.] You're such a darling man.

[Filtered]

Your company would be most welcome, Smoker. When you aren't busy teaching all the little ones here how to fight and enforcing the law, hm?

[Flustered again and coughs and accidentally knocks something over and swears.] I am not darling. [Gruff.]

[Filtered]

Ha, dinner then. Sometime after Elizabeth's lesson? I'll leave my nights free.

Perhaps you would like it better if I said you were my darling~?

[ufufu]

[Filtered]

That would suit me just fine. My nights are always free for you.

[EVEN MORE BRIGHT RED. And silence. ~~Very big yes.~~ FINALLY clears his throat.]

Perhaps.

[Filtered]

[And an audible grin.] Nights it is then.
