Late on the 6th [Voice]

[justicereigns]

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?

[ Totally ignoring the tsun, she doesn't see it!! ]

That's amazing.. It must mean Smoker-kun is Luceti's love expert.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] 1/2

[justicereigns]

What?

[No. Sorry, Kotomi-chan, that's a massive what moment.]

[ voice // piggyback filter ] 2/3 I couldn't count from laughing too much :P

[justicereigns]

Hah... hardly....

My experiences are more like a giant series of what not to do.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] 3/4 Nope still can't count

[justicereigns]

Ikki sort of pegged me right before.

In my world I didn't have time or patience for much more than one-night --

[Oh. Right. Kotomi-chan... he will just.... censor that train of though there.]

I'm still learning, I've just had time to have a lot more experiences. Usually negative.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] 4/4 done

[justicereigns]

I think if you asked, a lot of Luceti has been in love before. [He might be overestimating that given the number of teenagers, but whatever.]

It doesn't make them experts. Love is kind of too complicated like that. Someone in a stable relationship who didn't make mistakes wouldn't know how to handle them when they're made, but someone who makes a bunch would just be clumsy at it. You learn as you go, since it's always going to be different.

[Shudders a little at the idea he's an expert. Lol nope... he had to ask Ikki and Lupin for help. And it took him how long to make a move on Grell? Not to mention how messed up it got when she left. And he doesn't even want to think over the mess that is Valentine's in this place.] Either way, I'm definitely not an expert.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] yes, I could hardly write that tag with a straight face either..

[etudes]

... Hmm, I think I get it a little.. [ she nods to herself. ]

I'd like it though if Smoker-kun could get more postive experiences in the future though. Smoker-kun is a really, really nice person, so he deserves a lot of love.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] XDD Amazing thing to come back to

[justicereigns]

Well, I'm dating Grell here... so we'll see how that goes.

[He says like it hasn't been a year (intermittently).]

[ voice // piggyback filter ] i'm glad to provide!

[etudes]

[ yes, she's clapping her hands since she's giving applause. ]

Congratulations. [ as if it's something new.. ] I hope you become very, very happy. I'm rooting for Smoker-kun for sure.

[ voice // piggyback filter ] B)

[justicereigns]

[Bright, BRIGHT red over here. Guh. He can't even handle compliments from pirates, he has no idea how to handle someone rooting for him to do well in... love? Yeah... definitely no idea.]

Thanks. I'll try not to mess it up. [Really that seems like the thing to say. Oh, if she only knew...]
