For those who knew her, Grell Sutcliffe has been sent home. She will be missed. [At least by him. For those who were her victims... well.]

For New Feathers, I'm Captain Smoker. [Commodore. Whatever. He doesn't acknowledge that. Especially in Luceti.] And I train jitte outside the barracks. For those already learning, lessons are not disrupted. For group sessions, anyone can drop in and join, those are run through most of the afternoons. I also offer one on one lessons and kickboxing.

We're also still looking to assemble anyone with police enforcement experience, so don't be afraid to speak up.

On a more leisurely note, Ginia, what do you say to having a poker game once a week at the Cloud Nine? [Because he really needs another addiction on top of the others.]

[Whenever Smoker does a message that's not related to his lessons... It probably is related to drinks judged by his track record. He has nothing to comment on the lessons, or the police enforcement experience, or the poker game thing. He doesn't need lessons neither is interested in learning anything new, he's not a police and really isn't interested in helping specially and he has no idea what poker is to begin with but games aren't his thing normally.

Honestly, he really shouldn't have anything to say regarding Grell. He never got to know her properly.]

You're not going to go into a drunk stupor now, right?

[Well, he's not sure he himself wouldn't react that way if someone he really cared about was sent while he was still stuck there and all.]

[justicereigns]

[Grunts and shakes his head. Another day for another reason, maybe. But he's trying to stay away from overdoing it. Especially after Ikki did.]

I don't think she'd respect that much.

[ action ]

[uccellodifuoco]

She wouldn't. And she wouldn't be here to bring your drunk ass back to the apartment either.

[Pao-lin was already pinged by the mention of training and learning a new fighting style, and she'll get back to that topic soon enough, but first...]

If you need anyone with law enforcement experience, I can help! I've been a Hero for a couple of years already, so...

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Glad to have you on board Pao-Lin. So far it's only been reinforcing emergency systems to help people who can't fight in the event of a Shift or an attack. The current plan has been non-combatants to the barracks or tunnels, somewhere easy to defend.

Make sure you check in with Ginia as well, she has some experience organizing stuff like this. [He's so horrible. He just passes everything to her so that he can do his own thing. Which is what he does with Tashigi or anyone he likes in his world too... but still.]

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Oh, I didn't know Ginia was helping out with this, too! She really helps out a lot around here, doesn't she?

[ nothing ]

[ one blonde slayer simply notes that disappearance with silence and relief. no words. no text.

just quiet contemplation and the ability to breathe freely. ]

[shadedsunlight]

[Let's say one of her friends pinged her toward this. Yes? Yes.]

Poker? Sounds like an excellent idea. I'm for it. What day do you propose?

And I'm sorry about your friend.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

[Yosh!]

Whatever day will get the most interesting people.

Thanks. First Ciel, then Elizabeth... I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Still a pain in the ass.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Let's see... we could always schedule something on one of the weekends, see who comes by and gauge interest, then go from there.

Yeah, always is. Seems like for every cycle there is bringing one in, there's another taking people back to their world.

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[...and a sigh of relief was sighed, and so many prayers of thanks were said. All, fortunately, out of earshot of the journal. Luceti, this is the best Christmas present Giles could ever have dared hope for.

When he dares to approach, he's a little more together:]

Th-Thank you for telling us.

...you're Smoker, then?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

[He appreciates that people aren't vocalizing their cheers to him. Or he'd punch them.]

Yes.

[He's not the most talkative man in the world.]

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[Clearly. Probably even less talkative than normal, at the moment.]

S-Sorry. Stupid time to ask, I know. I'm just...um, a friend of Ginia's.

[voice]

[redheaded-rock.livejournal.com]

Captain Smoker? I don't have a lot of experience and I certainly never patrolled anywhere, but I did spend some time organizing files and reports for a police agency. If you need anyone with that sort of experience... [Alexis trails off, a little uncertain. After all, her skills aren't exactly necessary.]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

PERFECT! When can you start?

[Eheheheh... Smoker's made it his own personal policy to do absolutely no paperwork in Luceti. Which is why he has no idea what's going on unless he personally investigates. Either way, he really means that whole "perfect" thing. Damn you paperwork, the bane of so many cops' existences.]

[voice]

[redheaded-rock.livejournal.com]

... Really? [She's really not used to thinking her abilities are in any way perfect.] Uhm. Any time, really. I mean, I have the brunch I'm putting together so... any time after tomorrow?

[dun-measure-up.livejournal.com]

You have any idea who'd be welcome to that poker game, Suga...Smoker.

Sorry, almost forgot.

[justicereigns]

Anyone who wants in.

Thinking of joining?

[dun-measure-up.livejournal.com]

Ain't like I have more pressing engagements.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Anyone who wants in, huh.

[justicereigns]

Daughters of marines included.

[That... is the nicest overture he can make. Especially since if he has to call her a pirate he'll want to say no. But no, come join and clean him of his cigars Nami. Maybe he can study your poker face.]

[voice]

[redjacketthief.livejournal.com]

Wait--there's a specific way to fight with a jitte?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

What? Yes, of course there is.

[lostinmyway]

...Oh.

[Grune...really doesn't know what to think about that. Because Grell wasn't a very nice person, and she had been mean to Giles, but...in a strange way, they had been friends. She had been certain all Grell needed was someone to show her how to be nice, but now Grune won't have that chance to help her. Not until she comes back.

When the weather gets warmer, she'll plant bright red roses for Grell. And she'll look after the lilies she and Grell had planted together for Elizabeth. It'll make her happy when she comes back.

A moment later, and she adds:] Thank you for telling us, Smoker.

[justicereigns]

[Grunts.]

Sorry about this.
