[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.]

Someone stole your jitte, Daddy?

You appear to be rather upset Mister Smoker...

[And then out of the forest near the Barracks comes an eight foot tall brown orc in the armor depicted in the icon with an ax in hand... but also in a large cloak made of the skins of several animals crudely sewn together. He's no tailor or leatherworker, but the snow got worse while he was out there and he improvised. Right now, he's actually heading towards the Barracks with a Purpose. To see what this fortified building is like.

...Also to be somewhere comparatively warmer than the forests, after over a week or skirting the barrier's edge]

[There was a familiar voice over the journals, one that Lupin had been meaning to poke at for a little while now. They had missed their Rhum at the holidays, but this....

It was better than Christmas.]

Oh ho, Cap? Someone took it?

I wonder who'd have the stones to do that?

[voice]

[brandnewday]

Oh. Hibiki actually knows what a jitte is. She's more familiar with sai because of Okinawa, but that gets her to stop and listen to the rest.]

A pirate took it...? There are pirates in Luceti?!

[ilyana]

[Wait... this voice sounded terribly familiar...]

... S-Santa?

[No... it couldn't be, right?]

Sorry... I think... you just sort of reminded me of someone else.

[redhairedknight]

Oh? Who took it last time? [She's surprised someone would do that sort of thing more than once.]

[ SMOKER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING.. you're making Kotomi here all wibbly by being so angry! ]

S.. Smoker-kun..?

action

[willak]

[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.]

[Henry only got one thing out of that.]

There are pirates here?

[The strange enchanted book still unnerves Aragorn, but he has been assured of its usefulness. Having found a secluded glen far enough away from the village to ensure solitude, the ranger sits on a fallen log and lets the journal fall open in his hands. Inside he sees - and hears - and angry looking man talking about drafts and learning self defense.]

I think there's little you could teach me. Though teaching those that can't fight is worthwhile. But what are shifts and drafts, I wonder?

[feetoffury]

Welcome back. I was worried for a bit.

So, your jitte went missing? What do you know about it so far?

[voice]

[toujoursfluer]

Hmmm. I wonder how you're going to get it back.
