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.]

He's an annoying prick. [Lupin, he means.] Reminds me of Straw-Hat.

That's fine. It's hard to get the ball rolling in this place... I've had the City Watch idea since I got here and still only minimal progress.

As it is, it's at the point where I think actually creating a formal set of laws would just inspire certain brats to test it out. [Damn teens. >:|]

Everyone's gotta have their rival.

Well, now you have me to help out with things. [Aka a willing secretary.]

I'm actually against setting down any sort of formal rules. It'd only cause more trouble and most people have the sense enough to keep things civil and clean.

Tsk. Doesn't make them less annoying.

[Two secretaries B) He's in heaven.]

That's exactly it. I suspected it before, but testing it out by threatening Jack's ship completely proved it. An overwhelming number of Luceti people resist rules for the sake of it more than adhere to them. [He doesn't have a problem with it; he's the same way. Still... it's weird. In his world, he was practically alone in that tendency. Especially in the marines.] I have no idea why the Malnosso are thinking in keeping that as a trend.

It's because, despite the fact we're in a monitor bubble and lab rats for the Malnosso, we have a sense of freedom. This village, this community, is made of the things people have put together. Been going on for four years, into the fifth now, haven't had rules, why change it now? That's the feeling I get from things. And maybe... maybe it's not so far off.

[Nods, though it's invisible.]

I hate any form of rules and regulations beyond common sense... and those are already enforced. I wouldn't say it's a freedom, but having them would certainly be counterproductive at this point.

Especially since the consequences are there anyway.

I'd still like to have something more formal in place for an emergency, like the barrier falling. Although people have gotten more organized about handling Shifts so that's good to see. Tsk. But it's another old argument. Maybe it's better to stay fluid. [Shakes his head. He can't decide, and that one is harder to "test."]

Flexible, but firm. A group that can adapt to what happens, be used as needed, but is always ready to react in case something happens. I think while everyone is getting better at handling shifts, there are still things that can be done. I still believe some kind of village-wide alarm system outside of the journals would be beneficial.

Exactly.

And agreed. Maybe if just even one person can say, "This a Shift, nobody panic," assuming they're unaffected themselves. Or only slightly affected.

The voice of reason in a sea of insanity can go a long way. Of course, depending on the shift, there's no way to change the state of mind, but.. an idea to think on.

Figuring out evacuation plans would be good, though we did pretty well for ourselves during October. Lots of quick thinkers and people taking action.

Exactly.

I'm still thinking the Barracks. It's large and easy to defend and the Welcoming Center is too much in the thick of everything else.

Then tunnels are also easy to defend, but they collapsed during the earthquake once and I'm not sure how much I'd trust them during a lot of emergencies. Maybe a few though. They're definitely easy to defend.

Not a bad choice. The teleporter can be used to get people out of the immediate village too.

I wonder if checking for any structural damage and reinforcing them would be an idea? I haven't been down there much so I'm afraid I can't say more.

Good thinking.

Possibly. Magic is useless down there though so it'd have to be people with a lot experience in such a thing.

We have some good builders if all the work on the boats are any indication. I'm sure something can be figured out.

Battle Dome might not be a bad evacuation point either, since there's a clinic there. However, we should also think of locations in the north to move to.

Good point.

Unless that also goes haywire again.

True, but if it goes wayside, that'll affect most of our plans.

I suppose. All right, battledome and clinic as well.

Come to think of it... there are a lot of fortifiable places here. I wonder if that's intentional.

Hard to tell. Depends on if they were built that way by people here, or provided by the Malnosso. Still, I won't complain if there are good defensive locations in case of an attack or something.

Unless it means they knew advance and don't want to tell us.

Tsk, we'd have noticed traps by now though, so either way it's good enough.

I'm willing to say on this one it's coincidence.

I think once my vision is back, I'd like to get some maps and begin drafting out possible evacuation plans.

Fair enough.

Hn. [Oh, to mention Nami or not. On the one hand... Straw-Hat >:| On the other hand, he knows Straw-Hat wouldn't settle for 2nd best, and Nami has mentioned having maps over public journal. Could Ginia find her on her own?] Ask around. There's a few others here who drew some maps of the area already, they might have good ideas.

[Already one step ahead.] I've met one of the cartographers around here, got a map from her. It's pretty nice. I'll have to see if she has any extra copies.

Oh. Nami?

Hn. All right. Maybe you can ask her at the poker night. [They can talk... through Ginia =\ It's so mature.]

Yes, her.

On that note, we'll need to set a date for the first night.

What days are good?

I'm honestly good with any days. I have plans on the 15th so many not then, but any other time would work. I'm flexible with these things.
