justicereigns | Smoker's return [Action / Video]

[The minute Smoker realizes he's back in Luceti, he gets his jitte. Like hell he's letting some pirate take it for a few months again. Then there's the basic things. A month's supply of cigars, and oh, isn't that nice of him, they even thought to get him a bunch of his own marine brand. They literally say marine on the little gold tabs, so surely no pirates would want to try them, right? Then it's off to get coffee, prowl around the general vicinity and head on home. As he's heading inside, the sheer amount of packages he's carrying jostles the journal open.]

Ikki, I have to thank you for the Cosmos-- Haki... [Annoyed growl. No Ikki. :| Figures. So he goes to open the journal for real and everyone can get a look at Smoker, two years later, no longer wearing his hair in ~~awesome~~ spikes, sunglasses, a giant scar, but still 100% Smoker.] Where the hell is Ikki? And how long have I been gone that he moved out? [He can tell Ikkk is still in Luceti, if not where, but what the hell man?] What's the date?

Right, to everyone else, I'm Vice Admiral Smoker. [Oh that's right, he uses his real title now. Watch out world.] As soon as I can, I'd like to get back into teaching jitte and kickboxing. Any old or new students, we'll meet at the barracks. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are open sessions, the other days can be scheduled for private hours or one on one sparring. If anyone spots a marine, let me know. Do not try to engage anyone from G5 in a regular conversation, they've earned their reputation as being pyromaniac psychos, just send them my way and I'll deal with them. [There is no affection to that. If anything "deal with them" sounds a little like "beat senseless and chain to a wall somewhere." Anyone want to laugh at him for his choice of command post?]

I assume we must be in a New Feather cycle, so welcome to Luceti. There are other people teaching forms of martial arts or filial magic, but unless the Drafts and missions have stopped -- which I doubt -- you'll want to take advantage of at least one form if you can.

All right, that's all.

[Feel free to action jump Smoker anytime before getting home, or right afterwards because he will be out and about being Smoker.]

Got a present for a friend, as a way of cheering him up a bit. Oh, and an auto-repair put on the boat he built with some friends. To keep it safe.

[Grins.] Sounds nice. [OH WAIT. If this friend is Jack Sparrow and/or his ship is the ship with auto-repair that is the opposite of nice. WELL DAMN. He will just have to stalk better and keep an ear out about it.]

Hopefully the mission wasn't too bad either?

[No, no, nothing of the sort. Just the Maia Alycon Volturnus, Giles, Ami, and Helios' ship. Though have fun stalking, Ginia will be quite quiet about it.]

Guard duty. I had company, it was a good learning experience.

[Oh goodie.]

Sounds simple. Was it? Who was the company? [Asks more questions...]

It was, amazingly enough. And I went with Pao-Lin. [Get more answers.]

Good kid. Great taste in tea.

Who were you guarding?

Good head on her shoulders too.

Just some Malnosso convoys, the ones responsible for getting food to the different enclosures. Not so bad, only two small skirmishes and a bigger ambush toward the end.

Definitely.

The Third Party certainly are strange.

Tell me about it. Still, mission was a success and that's the important part, right?

Sounds like it. And no injuries right?

A little sore, but nothing out of the ordinary and nothing a bit of rest can't fix.

Make sure you rest up then. I need to have someone who really knows what they're doing back in lessons as soon as possible.

You can count on me being back by Monday. Have any new students?

Kotomi-chan might join. Detective Chun-Li is probably going to manage to even teach me a few things.

Detective Chun-Li, huh? Haven't heard the name before. Recent arrival? And what's she teaching you?

Yes. Martial arts of some kinds, apparently she's well-versed. And we'll be teaching alongside, since she uses something called "Chi" which sounds like haki, except from what I can tell, they use it for moves like rokushiki in her world.

[She laughs quietly.] You lost me toward the latter half, but I think I get the general idea. Detective and a martial artist... I'll have to meet her sometime.

You'll probably like her I'm sure.

I'm sure I will. I like most around here, especially if they can take care of themselves.

That, I'm sure of.

Even if she is naive to the pirates.

Not everyone has pirates in their world like the ones you have in your world.

She still instantly befriended them. That's either naive or stupid.

Even if they are pirates, they can be friendly.

Tch. But they apparently spoke of revenge and other things and she still didn't think twice of it.

Maybe she's the kind of person who likes to give people a chance.
