Um... I want to ask anybody who knows how to fight...

How do you pick a weapon? I mean... how do you know what suits you best? Do you try them until you figure it out, or do you let someone pick for you? And what if you-

...nevermind...

I chose a jitte because it's an added advantage against swords and it's easier to incapacitate someone with it without killing or severely injuring them.

[dawndigger]

A jitte? What's that? [It does sound handy.]

[justicereigns]

A metal pike with a tine. Most people think the tine is for catching swords; but that's more so the case with jutte (smaller version of jittes) it's mostly to catch vital organs and poke them, or catch someone under the arm and hold them down.

[dawndigger]

[He's not entirely sure what the "tine" is either, but he'll feel pretty foolish for asking twice.]

That sounds really useful... do a lot of people use swords where you're from?

[justicereigns]

[Smoker wouldn't mind, he's informative, just not sure how much the kid knows or not.]

Hm, probably more than not. My second in command is a swordswoman as well.

[dawndigger]

Lots of people use swords in Luceti, too... [Ahh, the pressure...]

[justicereigns]

See? Use a jitte.

Aside from me, Diane also uses them, assuming she's still here.

[dawndigger]

Oh, that makes sense!

Is Diane your partner? Or someone else?

[justicereigns]

What? No. She's a person here. Part of the Justice League.

Tashigi just uses swords.

[dawndigger]

Oh, got it. Sorry.

Maybe... I could see it sometime?

[justicereigns]

Yeah, sure! I'll even give you a demonstration if you want. I teach kickboxing occasionally over by the barracks, so if you do decide you want to learn it, I can help tutor it if you're inclined.

[dawndigger]

That would be really cool! But what's kickboxing?

[justicereigns]

A type of fighting with your hands and feet.

[dawndigger]

[Doesn't every way of fighting involve that? It's puzzling, but he figures it's something he'd have to see to understand, anyway. That's how he usually learns.]

When do you teach? I'll come and watch.

[justicereigns]

At the moment it's just been with Kirimi lately, but you're welcome any afternoon you feel like. She usually goes every other since she's studying other things as well.

[dawndigger]

...Kirimi? Isn't that... [That little girl. fff why is she learning kickboxing. Simon's mind, it is blown!]
