[Accidental Video]

[There's a blur of motion and pages as the journal falls through the air and lands on the ground, a leather book bag and some other notebooks landing nearby. Within the camera's view is Ginia, holding a bag of groceries, backed against a building, and watching something (or somethings) calmly out of view. With care, she slowly

Sounds more like a shift. Tell the non-combatants to stay inside, and if you need to help getting to anyone, drop me a line.

Ask for what you want, the worst they can do is say no. I'm not a heavy artillery person and I have a devil fruit so I don't need anything else. And weapons that could destroy the planet seem a little reckless while you're standing on it, so I'd hope the Malnosso aren't stupid enough for that.

You can plan with others, but the Malnosso don't organize it.

Devil fruit? And good to know. Not looking so much into heavy artillery, but I'm not going to say no to a grenade launcher or a sniper rifle.

All right. So how about things like walkie talkies or earbuds and coms to keep everyone connected? Something like that work or at least with the people willing to work together?

[Written] akldjaskld missed the edit at first sorry

[justicereigns]

Devil fruit ability is basically a superpower.
You could probably ask for rifles or cannons, just keep in mind to ask for enough bullets or rounds or cannonballs.

Consider this, someone falls and the Third Party picks the comm up. They then send out a distress signal for everyone to come help and pick off everyone one by one in a trap. People do mostly do their own thing; same as Luceti in general, but there's enough people who'd both want to help and would be gullible enough for that. It's not a bad idea, but it would need serious tweaking.

Also... Earbuds?

[ooc: edit = afterthought for him.]

[Written] No, no, it's okay! It came in really late anyway. My fail.

[shadedsunlight]

Got it.

Ammunition, the downside of firearms.

Point made. So we're talking about an enemy that's highly intelligent and organized and fighters that have the right ideas in mind, but can let the urge to help others override common sense. [She's including herself in that statement.] Guess I have more to think on.

Communication device, something small enough to fit discreetly inside someone's ear. You'll need a mic to talk into, but with the right set up, it's a great way to communicate with a team without anyone knowing.

[justicereigns]

Correct, that is exactly how it is.

Most of the draftees do not have soldier training, much less officer training. People protest this to the Malnosso, but I personally think they throw in kids and civilians as part of their experiment so see how people deal with it anyway.

[Written] Part 2 >> no more edit chain

[justicereigns]

Hm... I see. Maybe if you could get one that just works in that the healers back in their "base" control the voice and send out messages. I wouldn't know how to update their information though, perhaps something could be done with magic?

[Written] Yes. No more edits. Still, asdflkjasf sorry for all that.

[shadedsunlight]

All one big social experiment and we're just the unfortunate lab rats. At least there are plenty of opportunities to learn how to fight, just a matter of people wanting to learn. By the by, thanks for the jitte lesson. Let me know when your next one is.

It's something to think about. If I get drafted, I don't want to step on any toes and try to take over, especially since it's my first battle, but hell. I don't want to see people get needlessly hurt.

[Written] rofl no no, me too XD

[justicereigns]

Correct. And no problem. As for the next one, now that I've got a good beat on your skills, afternoons are fine. Mon-Wed-Fri good? Or just one of those days if you'd prefer.

If people don't want to listen to you, they won't. An army of all officers gets nothing done, but do as you feel best either way. They don't have to go along with it if they don't want to.

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Afternoon Mon-Wed-Fri sounds good, I can work my schedule around that. I like having regular practice too.

Wouldn't expect people to either being a new feather and all. [And mute.] But if I can pitch some ideas and they turn out useful, I'll take that.

By the by, everything clear on your end, Captain?

[Written]

[justicereigns]

That's fine then. I've never been captured by the Malnosso, don't ask me why or how, but that means I'm usually pretty stable. Don't worry too much about missing lessons though, they can be easily made up.

You might want to try coordinating them in advance. Or that night at the fort thing they have.

I'm trying to find any idiots stuck outside in the Shift. There was a pirate ship mast in the middle of nowhere. It's a bit bizarre but decent training for the second half of the Grand Line. How about you?

[Written] I'm in Japan and there's a show on right now with a One Piece theme. I'm amused.

[shadedsunlight]

May my luck be as good as yours.

We'll see what happens. Until then, I'll keep drafting out plans.

Faring all right. Ran into a few strange places, bit bruised up, but nothing some ice can't fix. Been getting a lot of training in right now.

[Written] lol Nice XD Which show?

[justicereigns]

One can only hope.

Best way to practice if you ask me. Keep on the lookout for other new feathers, it seems they're still trickling in, even with the Shift.

[Written] Not sure, but it looks like one of the quiz shows with celebrities.

[shadedsunlight]

This late? Really? All right, will do. I'll be doing regular patrols until all of this is over, keeping an eye out for anyone that may need help.

[Written] ohhh sweet :3

[justicereigns]

Thanks Ginia.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Just doing my job, Captain.

Will do. You too, sir.

((ooc; Completely optional, but Ginia's other personality is running around here if Smoker wants to meet her.))
