[ 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.]

[Gets more serious and falls into basic jitte steps she should recognize, but sets his jacket aside as well.] Ready when you are.

By the time they are done, she's a bit breathless. It's not lack of shape this time, but she's noticing that the people in Luceti are indeed nothing like those in her world. The challenge is higher here, everyone is far better than the opponents she's used to. She's not a genius swordman here, she's just talented. It both hurts her pride and feeds her ambition, if she can seriously train with those people, she will become stronger and capable of protecting Ciel even if they are alone. She wouldn't have to say goodbye to him or have him leave without a word.
Of course she can't stop being cute, she doesn't want to be scary for Ciel but he's not there now, so she can follow her own vow to be a wife that can protect him.]
... Did you know I used swords?
[Action] Sorry this was so late. /BEHIND FOREVER
Hn... no. But most people around here who are willing to pick up the jitte or spar with me are good with swords. -- And in the academy I was often challenged to spars by swordsmen.
I'm more surprised you dual wield. That takes years. How long have you been studying this?
[Action]
I think that one could say that I started studying ever since I learned to walk... I don't really remember when or how it started, mother always insisted on it though.
[Even when Lizzie refused with all her might. But back then she was young, she was naive. She didn't understand well what her mother meant when she said that it was for both Ciel's and her own sake, or what being the Queen's Watchdog meant. Now she knows, she learned the hard way.]
I must apologize for not saying it sooner.
[Action]
Was this all of it though?
[Action]
Yes... I was feeling bad for not having told you before so I wanted to show you. It's not strange if I ask you to not talk much about this, right? I know that in a place like Luceti it may be impossible to, but I would prefer it if those details regarding my persona weren't too much of public domain.

Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me Elizabeth.
