Captain's Log

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!]

( Action pre-kidnapping morning of 22nd )

I've finished the As, Qs, Zs, and FINALLY the Rs. Now I have to go get the Gs from Garp. Great. If I'm not back in 12 hours, someone come rescue me from that tea-fiend. Fuck how many days have I been chained to this goddam desk?

Still don't have my jitte. That fucking bastard, Sengoku says I have to finish all the paperwork first. Great. Prick's just trying to make it harder for me to find something better to do. While trying to fix all this bullshit I found something that might interest you Demon Woman and Bookman. Which also reminds me, guess what your first task is going to be this month Lavi. While you're on it, I'd like a comprehensive file detailing everything you know about the Noah.

Nevan, I'm ready for that demonstration before I go.

Zenigata you're in charge of the ship given Tashigi's leave and in light of Lavi's recent recklessness. It shouldn't take long in any case.

Karen, I'd appreciate it if you could come with me, but I understand if you don't want to. I wouldn't want to.

Subaru & Kamui: any updates on the situation with the Major that you're aware of?

The rest of you pirate assholes stay put for a goddam week. I don't have time for your bullshit.

Coffee is meant to be black, as strong as possible and with as little of the fluffy crap as possible. I don't want a mochachina latte frappe with cinnamon swirl. Just a cup of fucking hot black coffee. It's functional, it keeps you alert on the job and thus it should be strong, not weakened with milk, sugar, or anything else. I don't want tea with a hint of jasmine or oolong or any of that other shit. Just coffee. What is so damned hard to understand about that?

On that note. Coffee belongs in your mouth, not on your pants.

And don't even get me started on tea.
