Second Brawl: A Little Holiday Cheer!
[Mid-afternoon, after her morning shift at Seventh Heaven and lunch, Chun-Li appears over the journal in a video feed. Smiling, and dressed in a heavy brown varsity jacket over warm looking clothes, she’s outside in the plaza, waving down at the camera.]
Hello everyone. This is Chun-Li,, and I’d like to announce that due to the weather, and Smoker’s continued absence I will be cancelling the self-defense classes at the barracks for the next few days. At least until after Christmas, or till Smoker gets back. It just feels appropriate. However, if you’d still be interested continuing to train or you need a sparring partner I’ll be happy to keep up classes in the Battle Dome. It’s just not a good idea to do too much heavy breathing in the snow like this, particularly the sorts of breathing exercises I've been teaching, so keep that up while you're indoors, or meet me at the usual time in the Dome.
That said, I’m also willing to teach anyone proper firearm usage to anyone who doesn’t already know how to use them. That’ll be in the Battle Dome as well, of course, since we don’t really have a whole lot of 9 millimeter ammo to spare. I’m a licensed instructor back home, and I can teach you how to use anything from a pistol to a shotgun. If you can’t defend yourself with your fists, may as well get a gun and learn how to shoot. I’m a strict teacher, though. Don’t expect to be coddled, and I won’t tolerate horseplay, especially with something like firearms.
[She pauses and looks around, letting out a sharp huff]
Switching gears here, what are some foods that remind you of winter, and the holiday season? It’s been a while since I really had time to myself for the holidays, and I gotta say I could use some comfort food. I know lots of folks have been asking about the holidays and stuff, but I guess I just don’t quite know what to make of it.
[She breaks off, looking away from the camera and turning to look up at the sky, and she looks a little more glum than usual. Thinking of her dad, and mom, and Po-Lin always makes her a bit wistful.]
Always makes me a bit daydreamy. Holidays.
[She turns back, smiles and cuts the feed before heading to the store to pick up stuff to cook. That evening, anyone in Community House 3 would be greeted by the smells of an enormous meal being prepared on the 6th floor. Anyone is welcome to stop by, she’s making desserts, Chinese food exactly as Gen taught her, and she’s got a small radio blasting some Chinese pop-songs throughout the floor. Cook something for the people you live with the elf had said, so...she'd complied happily!]

[She shrugs]
There are a lot of people here from that world, various pirate crews. The Straw Hats and the Whitebeard Pirates are the largest groups. They're pretty nice, and not what you'd expect from pirates.
no subject
[Violence in multiple senses and pillaging come to mind when he gives thought to some of the crimes pirates have been said to commit, but he imagines she wouldn't be chummy with and invite over anyone with a mind to hurt others and cause a ruckus.]
Looks like there's a lot a people here I still don't know about. [And with Newfeathers rolling in periodically, this will forever be a thing. Tipping back his cup, he drains the rest of the nog in one draught and sets it down onto the table.]
no subject
[She shrugs]
It's not like I know much either. There are a lot of people, y'know.
no subject
[All in due time, of course - for he believes there has to be some way, sooner or later, they can get back home besides sitting about passively and waiting to get the boot. He has to try... and at the very least, hope.]
As many of us as we can, at least.
no subject
Mutual benefit, and having friends is better than having in enemies. So when we get out of here we can all do it together.
no subject
So about this business at the battledome... Got any takers? [Sure, the invite's only been up for a few hours, but he expects at least one person to have shown interest in some basic firearm training.]
no subject
[She nods briskly]
It'd be good to have another soldier along though, I'm only really qualified to teach police issue weapons.
no subject
[He reaches out and helps himself to some finger food made available. The man has come with an appetite.]
We'll start small - maybe even stay that way. Let 'em get a feel for one model of handgun and the kickback, get the stance down, and work on their precision. At the end of the day, though, I don't want them to get too cozy with it. We're not making soldiers out of them. If the possibility of having to use a gun outside of a training scenario makes them uncomfortable, that's probably a good thing. As long as they know the basics and understand how to handle a handfun responsibly and properly, I’d say that's good enough.
[That in itself demands enough practice.]
What do you think?
no subject
No, I completely agree. The point isn't soldiers, it's to give them the ability to defend themselves if they need to. And it's also something that they should just know. Firearms are no laughing matter, and a healthy respect for them is something that everyone should learn.
*handgun ... lawl, I wrote 'handfun'. Yes, Spencer, we all know you like them.

Fine with me. [Is Tenten a boy or a girl's name, he wonders?] Between your instruction and mine, this person's gonna walk out of that dome an expert. Ain't no stopping him or her.
