[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's a small young woman (at least she looks young) dressed in a heavy coat and a scarf wrapped around her head to keep her ears warm. The offer at teaching self-defense interested her - Raylene never really learned how to do much beside waving a knife around and hoping that'd be threatening enough. It usually did work, but she wasn't afraid to stick someone if she had to.

Still - that ain't gonna do her a lick of good in a draft. And she can't do much damage without fangs or claws. So. Self-defense it was.]

You still offerin' some self-defense?

[She doesn't seem jittery when she speaks up to the man; but she's not stupid either - Raylene keeps her distance until she can deem him less than an outright threat.

And if he's building a snowman when she walks up - well she won't say anything.]

[He's initially twirling a jitte when she arrives. Not the missing one, of course, but he has backups. He stops when she speaks up though.]

Yes.

There are group sessions and one on one lessons. The group sessions are mixes of different skill levels but there are always a beginner or two so you don't have to feel out of place for it.

Are you interested in any particular type of style?

[She shrugs.]

Somethin that won't depend on me being bigger than the other guy. Somethin I can use this with.

[She flicks out her knife, the one that showed up a few days after she arrived. It's the same one she stuck her brother with.]

Seems simple enough. Did you do any fighting back in your world?
