[Voice] Lessons & Named Attacks / Action pre-kidnapping

[justicereigns]

Hello to New Feathers, and old.

This is Smoker, I teach jitte, self-defense, and kickboxing over by the barracks. By now I'm sure most of you have heard about the drafts that happen here, and it never hurts to be as prepared as you can be. Chun-Li also teaches lessons, particularly for beginners, but she can do private lessons too. If you want, she's also wiling to teach proper firearm use. No experience required, but if you have experience, we can work with that too.

For more experienced fighters, I've got a question for you. Do you make your own attacks, and if so, do you name them? And how do you decide on the names or themes in that case?

Thanks.

[ooc: If your character's interested in classes, Chun-Li might threadjump if that's okay!]


[Smoker's actually out early on the Thursday of the 22nd, getting in a few extra hours of exercise alone in the cold before anyone shows up -- hypothetically. He brought out an entire pot of coffee and he's got an extra empty cup next to his own, more out of a habit he doesn't care to kick than anything else. It's a few hours and well into morning before he's kidnapped, leaving behind only the coffee, jitte, and sunglasses. Lupin will be finding both sunglasses and jitte and holding onto the sunglasses. However, anyone's welcome to come join Smoker for coffee or exercise. After that, he'll be kidnapped for awhile. Good thing he mentioned Chun-Li also teaches, huh?]

Maybe.

There are a lot of lines of theory that battle roars help psyche a person up and scare off enemies after all, and named attacks do seem a little similar in that way.

[etudes]

Then that's probably it after all. So the attack name is something that encourages people.. [ it makes sense, so she nods. ]

Does Smoker-kun have a lot of attack names then?

[justicereigns]

I do. Only for my devil fruit attacks though.

It helps me differentiate them.

[etudes]

That sounds amazing.. tell me more about them, Smoker-kun.

[justicereigns]

They're probably easier to show, but all right.

White Snake chases after after a foe, it's when I turn my arm into smoke to try to grab an enemy. It can also pick them up and whip them into the ground.

White Blow is just a punch, leaving my fist in tact, but the rest of the arm into smoke.

White Vine I turn completely into smoke and spiral up or down, depending on the fight or where I need to get to.

White Spark I turn into smoke and rush forward as fast as possible.

White Launcher I turn my legs into smoke and rocket off to pin someone down with my jitte. [He probably sounds most proud of that one.]

And White Out I turn my arms into smoke and catch all the enemies in the area in one go.

[etudes]

.. I didn't know Smoker-kun had that many attacks.. it makes him sound even stronger than before, even though Smoker-kun was already really, really amazing to begin with.

[justicereigns]

What, really?

Hm. I just use it to differentiate though...

[etudes]

No, they sound.. 'cool'. [ It sounds weird when Kotomi uses that word.. ]

Smoker-kun's enemies will be trembling in fear at hearing that, I'm sure.

1/2

[justicereigns]

Cool, huh. [Weird or not, Smoker's self-esteem is probably the highest it will ever get. He's cool!]

You think so? [Grins and practices saying one of the attack names extra growly-like.]

2/2

[justicereigns]

White Spark!

[etudes]

[ See, normally Kotomi might go into b-bully!! wibbling about that, but by now she knows Smoker definitely isn't a bully, so instead she only gasps in surprise. ]

W.. wow.. that's amazing..! It feels like I'm being blown away..

[justicereigns]

[Grins!]

You think so?

I'll have to try it out for real then. Thanks Kotomi-chan.

[etudes]

If Smoker-kun ever wants to practice his attack names again, then.. just ask me. [ a smile. ]

.. Ah, this is where I say 'see you later', right?

[justicereigns]

Thanks, I'll remember to take you up on that.

[Nods his head.] "If you say see you later alligator," I'm supposed to respond with "In awhile crocodile." [He shrugs.] Because it rhymes.

[etudes]

[ oh, she gets this one! here, let her try-- ]

Then.. 'See you later, alligator'.

[justicereigns]

In awhile crocodile.
