Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

By the barracks, around afternoon and evenings, Smoker is not a morning person. [Talking in 3rd person to pretend he's not having troubles... mm-hm.] If you want one one one lessons, it requires scheduling, otherwise group sessions you can drop in on as you see fit.

Are you interested?

I am, though I have little to no experience in hand to hand combat. Would the lessons be of a beginner's or an intermediate level?

Yes. They start at the most basic and progress with experience. I He's been teaching kids, so they didn't have any experience either.

In this place where drafts can happen at any time, it's important to have some sort of self defense. Anything is better than none.

...is there a particular reason you refer to yourself in the third person, or is it a generalized personality disorder?

I was hoping to avoid further confusion when Smo-- I show up as a male later.

Or I might be turning into Hina. One of those.

Male, female, you are still you, even if the genitals have changed, yes? Though I am certain others not as familiar with you, or the odd changes in this place, will be grateful for the courtesy.

Right. Thanks. [It's brief, but he genuinely does appreciate it, which is why he's more at ease for the rest.]

In any case, I can still do jitte lessons like this. It'll just be harder with height. So if you want to get a head start, normally I'd do a run through to see what level you're at. Since you already know though, I could get you started on basic exercises to build up muscle tone.

I would appreciate that. Should we meet, or would you be able to demonstrate them through video? If you are uncomfortable with your appearance I would rather not trouble you to walk around the village.

I'm not sure I could do it on the journal, so I'll meet you in person. [He has yet to use the updated features, having been gone for the last month and a half, sadly.]

Is tomorrow all right? I need to check in on a few things as I have been away for awhile.

Tomorrow's fine, take more time if you need it.

I appreciate that. I didn't catch your name Miss.

[Or even whether you're a pirate. Hm....]

Ah, forgive my oversight, please. Doctor Adele LeBlanc, at your service.

Captain Smoker.

Are you new to Luceti Doctor Adele?

Pleasure to make your acquaintance Captain Smoker.

Yes, I've been here only a little over a month.

Likewise. I'd apologize for the circumstances, but they're never all that stable here.

Still a New Feather then. At least as a doctor you'll have enough to keep busy. So why the interest in self-defense? Just what I mentioned earlier? [Meaning the Drafts.]

...I do not care to feel vulnerable or helpless. Back home all I had time for was learning to shoot, here? I've time enough to learn to protect myself through other means.

Good reason. I'll see what I can do to catch you up to speed then.

What did you shoot back home?

A revolver. It has yet to surface, but I don't have time to wait for it.

It still might. My jitte was missing the first three months I was here because some pirate took it.

I'd be more than a little vexed if someone found it before I did. My last name's engraved on the grip, it's rude to take something that has someone's name on it.

Extremely. [Of course the pirate who took his jitte knew it was his, but oh well, pirates are assholes.] I'll keep an eye out for it then when I go get another jitte for the lessons.

Which reminds me, what's your approximate height? [Because Smoker's learning how difficult it is to use a weapon that's even taller than you right now, and his world has giants and ten foot tall humans.]

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

Ah, approximately 158 centimeters. So...Five feet and two inches.

Anytime.

Damn. That's about my height now. Guess I'll get two of the same size then.

What height are you normally?

Six foot six.

[Now do you see his frustration?]
