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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

At the very least you have my respect, and I find you, if not pleasant, a fascinating individual. And that, above all else, makes you likeable.

Thanks??

[He will never stop being confused now.]

Err... likewise, I think.

[Adele can't help a soft chuckle.] Thank you Smoker. Try to take it easy on Lupin, yes? He is still just barely recovered.

He claims he's back to ninety-nine percent.

Though if he picks a fight with a phoenix or two, I'm sure that progress will go down to "dead."

...dare I ask what sort of trouble he may consider getting himself into this time?

Ask him. Apparently he's an easily baited idiot -- and I have no patience for the pirates here.

He's a grown man. I should not have to check in on him so often. [She sighs and massages her face.] One of the pirates, then. Lovely.

A grown man who apparently hasn't grown out of such childishness.

Leave one nest of irresponsible idiots and then get deposited directly into another.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, yes? Or am I using that phrase incorrectly.

It's actually less intense here, so the reverse of that applies.

Why would one jump up into a frying pan? [Adele shakes her head with a soft huff.] At least it is as you said, less intense. It is one thing this place has in it's favor.

Out of a fire? Better alternative.

There's a few others. Prettier company for one.

You are bereft of lovely company in your home world?

I've got Tashigi, my second in command, but she's Tashigi. [Says it like she's his daughter or niece.]

I suppose if the one is all you have, living in a village where most, if not all the eligible women are at least somewhat attractive must be a welcome change.

It's one of the perks.

It must make life much more pleasant for you.

[A shrug.]

That and not needing to put out fire my own men start; yeah, it's nice to be back here.

The work of a leader is never done, yes? Even if those you lead have a tenancy to do foolish things.

Hn. They're idiots.

I wish I could say there are fewer idiots here but...[A soft laugh.]

There's plenty of idiots, but there are more smart people I'll say.

It is an even mix, I should think.

Hm... could be. I probably haven't met enough people here.
