[This is a man who sounds pretty angry. Of course if you know Smoker well, then you might know he often sounds like that. Still, even for Smoker, clearly something's set him off.]

Welcome to New Feathers, if you haven't heard about the Shifts or Drafts yet, I suggest you look into it. If you want to learn basic self defense I could teach you, or Chun-Li could, or any of other teachers who offer it. Normally I'd offer to teach jitte as well, but I'm using flimsy knock-offs right now because some idiot seems to have borrowed it without permission.

[And here he gives a lethal glare to the camera.] I know a pirate took it before, and I've spent all this month hunting you down. I don't know who took it, but step forward now and I'll be far more lenient than if you continue to make me wait!

[His tone suggests that "lenient" means he'll only beat the thief half to death instead of two-thirds.]

I'll be by the barracks stacking rocks. [And making a snowman. Not that he's going to admit to that to anyone. Except kids maybe.]

There are those who are dead in their timelines, so being on this world gives them a chance to spend extra time with people they knew.

Yeah, they don't get along well with "abominations" like us. You can ask around people who've been on the draft, but they really hate our existence.

[elessar_telcontar]

If they could be made to understand that we are not here by choice, they might e reasoned with. If I wished to make contact with the Third Party, how would I do it?

[justicereigns]

You're more suspicious of him than the pirates. I fail to grasp your reasoning here.

[justicereigns]

Go on a draft. But they can't be reasoned with. They know we didn't ask to be here, their way of sending us "home" is by trying to kill us by removing our wings.

[elessar_telcontar]

[He considered the other man's words for a moment.]

Can drafts be volunteered?

[Video]

[feetoffury]

Because he's Lupin?

I dunno, I don't have quite the same feelings about most of the pirates, remember?

[spohkh]

Then that would be perhaps why you and Miss Robin do not 'get along'... [Way to go Spock, gold star.]

I wonder what would happen if you not longer 'hunted' pirates.

[etudes]

I.. I-I'll tell them to give it back..!!

[ Both her voice and body are already shaking as she's saying it, honestly. ]

[justicereigns]

Heh yeah, we don't have as many kids here as we used to. Though wher that's good or bad... [He shrugs.]

Is it any fun?

[justicereigns]

No. Missions can though, and they might find something useful for you.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

But the pirates are worse than Lupin. Lupin just steals things for attention, pirates are pirates for attention.

[No, no, hear him out, that is totally worse okay.]

[justicereigns]

[Y U P.]

She'd still be annoying. She's only a pirate because she chooses to be.

[TRUTH TOLD, he doesn't hate Robin THAT THAT much. It's hard for him to really "hate" most of the Straw Hat crew in general, but he does find her genuinely frustrating.]

[justicereigns]

[A-AW!!! He's touched she'd go to such lengths.]

Thanks Kotomi-chan, I'm sure you would. But it's all right, I've got to get it back my own way.

And I already asked my daughter to spy on them. [And thus Keimi was the best/worst mermaid detective there ever was. Mostly because she was the only mermaid detective there ever was...]

[Video]

[feetoffury]

Do go on.

[elessar_telcontar]

And how do I volunteer for these missions?

[etudes]

.. If Smoker-kun says he can do it by himself, I'll trust it.. [ It's a relief to not have to face bullies either way, she's such a scaredy cat. ]

But isn't spying on people bad too..?

[spohkh]

And you are only a hunter because you choose to be. A rather fascinating turn of events, yes?

Though I will admit that her personality takes much to.... get used to. She confuses me often, though I do not believe that she would intentionally harm anyone who is not an absolute threat.

[voice]

[toujoursfluer]

Hmm. What indeed?

And yes...it's amazing how...effective seastone can be on certain areas of a man's body.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

That's disturbing.

[justicereigns]

Because I choose to follow my justice. Justice she's on the other side of.

It's not her personality that bothers me.

[voice]

[toujoursfluer]

[She blinks as if in surprise]

I would have thought you'd known about it.

[justicereigns]

Not when it's to thwart pirates.

[Says their number one stalker.]

[justicereigns]

Check near the back of your journal, there should be a list of what's open in there and for really big projects, they'll post a notice.

[OOC info and links over here!]

[spohkh]

I see. [Spock was actually beginning to understand now... He regarded Smoker again...]

Thank you for your information... it was enlightening. I will keep, as they say, an 'eye' out for your Jitte. [Spock though... he had a feeling he knew who had it.

And it was definitely not Robin or Law.]

[justicereigns]

They wreck lives, not just property.
