[It never fails, right? Make a plan like a New Year's Resolution, and it's doomed to fail. Not even a mountain of perfectly stacked rocks seem to be enough to change his luck on that. Smoker's voice is predictably growly as usual.]

It looks like the rest of the New Feathers are done trickling in and that often means a new draft is coming. They do not seem to prefer acquiring fighters, and as such, even people unaccustomed to fighting need to be prepared. I teach basic self-defense, jitte, and kickboxing outside of the barracks every day. Anyone interested in learning is welcome to join in, or just stop by for warmups.

On a lighter note, I feel like making some ice cream. Anyone want some? Just name the flavor you want. Go wild. Just not rum, some miscreant, probably a pirate, ran off with all of it recently.

And whoever switched my cigars with "pumpkin spice," the joke's on you, I actually like it. So there.

Plenty of winter islands appreciate ice cream even more than the summer ones.

Some cigars do. These cigars, at least.

[amberguardian]

Really? But I guess it's not too weird. People eat warm food all the time.

Does it have a different color of smoke?

[justicereigns]

Exactly. Ice cream is good in any weather. And in winter, it's just easier.

No, still white. But it smells different.

[amberguardian]

Yes, and they won't melt.

Are there ones that have different colors? [Because Shurichiro smokes, and that would be a fun thing.]

[justicereigns]

They will, just not as quickly.

Probably? But I'm not sure the salts or powders would be safe. Maybe if it was just food coloring. It might stain a person's teeth like certain kinds of candy, however.

[amberguardian]

Oh, that's would be bad.

[justicereigns]

It might be okay? I'll have to think on it. I'm no chemist, so it's not really my forte. I know there's a way to do different colors of fire, but I'm not sure about smoke. There probably is.

And even if it does stain teeth, it would only be temporarily.

[amberguardian]

It sounds a little like an April fools prank.

[justicereigns]

Yeah, probably.

But don't try to prank me with one, I'll remember this. [Teasing, honestly.]

[amberguardian]

Y-you know I wouldn't do that!
