[Okita is feeling better so he went back to his graveyard shifts at the Welcome Center, mostly to distract himself from Nagakura leaving and now Kohaku being missing. Now that the New Feathers are arriving, he's been somewhat busy with preparation for the morning shifts so that helps keep his mind off things. He likes to leave breakfast ready for people as he leaves in the morning, so people in the Welcome Center might find a traditional Japanese breakfast (fish, rice, miso soup, pickled vegetables) left for them when they wake up.

After, he heads toward the barracks for practice, which is when he opens his journal.]

Good morning, Luceti! And welcome to all the new arrivals who are beginning to settle in. I hope you're all doing well. I sure am! Much better than before, at least. Especially now that the weather has cleared!

I know it's quite early yet, but if anyone would like to train a bit in the barracks? I'd love to have a partner. Kaku-san? Anyone?

Training, huh?

Good to hear you, by the way.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Mmhm~ I need to keep up.

Good to hear from you, too, Derek-san. Are you back from your mission?

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

I am. Been taking it easy for a few days.

So you have some combat training?

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. Resting after a mission is important.

And...yes, some. Which is a bit of a lie, but let's go with that.

Re: [Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Fine by me.

I'll have to start picking up my own training schedule soon. Being at of work isn't good for my upkeep.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh? What sort of training do you do? Perhaps we can train together.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Some hand to hand--aikido. Some sword work. Guns, but there's not enough ammo to practice that here.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Hand to hand, I can definitely practice with...swordwork is a little more dangerous, but we can try. I'm afraid I'm no good with guns.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah...we should probably stick with the hand to hand anyway. I was trained for kill shots when it comes to weaponry. I have good control, but would rather not push my luck.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

As was I. Whenever you're free then. I usually head to the barracks for training early in the mornings.

Re: [Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

In the next few days, then.

...I'm planning on starting a food garden on the roof of C6.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh? Trying to get a bit fresher food than what's in the stores, hm?

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Fresh and in case our supplies get cut off, yeah. The more self sufficient we are, the better off we'll be, I think.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's rather smart.

...do you think there is a danger of our supplies being cut off?

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

With a war right outside the gates, so to speak? Wouldn't surprise me if it did happen. Hopefully, the Malnosso have it down well enough that it's not a worry, but...it's war. Shit happens.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Mm...you have a point. Wars do have a way of getting far out of hand.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do. And the first thing to go tends to be the supplies.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It does seem that way. It's the basics of strategy, after all.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

And now they know the Malnosso use us as their own personal army.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He sighs a bit]

I just hope the enemy can't access our networks then.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

If they can, they probably already have. We'd have no way of telling.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That is a most disconcerting thought...

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...what was it like out there? If you don't mind me asking?

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

It was always night. We were pretty disorganized, over all. I spent most of my time on the outer border. It was more like skirmishes until the last part. We found their base. Took care of it.
