Late on the 6th [Voice]

Right, this is Smoker. I'm back in my own body, thanks to everyone who helped when I was a kid, and you know... during the shift.

Jitte and kickboxing lessons will be delayed until the 10th, but that doesn't mean stop practicing. Keep up the exercises, because I'll be very disappointed if any of you start slipping.

For anyone else interested in joining in, I teach basic self defense, kickboxing, and jitte. There are one-on-one sessions and group sessions, feel free to ask about a schedule because with the drafts ongoing, at least you can learn something to get a fighting chance for survival.

And who still here in the village knows anything about motorcycles? A friend recently reminded me life can be too short not to pursue some things.

Lupin, if you still remember the thing I asked Red about, I'd like to discuss it.

Kotomi-chan, if it's not a bad memory, whatever did happen with the paper your father was writing?

Still have one. Still has no engine.

[justicereigns]

Think I could trade in mission points?

[i_speak_softly]

Doubt it.

[He no longer has any hopes to be gotten up.]

[justicereigns]

They're kind of useless except as something to do, huh.

[i_speak_softly]

The missions? I think some people have learned worthwhile things from them.

[justicereigns]

Some. But I'm not into interrogating victims.

[i_speak_softly]

I volunteered.

[justicereigns]

For mission or trying to get information from them? Or both?

[i_speak_softly]

... Smoker, which "them" are we talking about?

[justicereigns]

[Now Smoker's getting even more confused.]

Malnosso? [Blunt. Though originally he'd been thinking the other world's inhabitants or enclosed victims.]

[i_speak_softly]

... For a mission. Like you said, something to do.

[justicereigns]

Right. Just another way to get stronger too.

[i_speak_softly]

[If it's that kind of mission. Personally, Don prefers running in the woods.]

[justicereigns]

[That's a type of getting stronger too. Kind of.]
