Anyone who is taking leadership or tactics classes that I've not yet spoken to, please set up a meeting with me. It doesn't have to be asap, but sooner is better than later. My office hours are posted.

Also, if you haven't started reading yet, you'd better start now. There will be a test and I'd prepare for the worst, if I were you.

I'm taking it. When do we need to talk?

[BBS]

[thatched]

Don't need to, Toby-baby. I already know what I'm going to do with you. Congrats, by the way, on the engagement.

[BBS]

[corruptedsouls]

Oh, all right.

Thank you! I'm really excited.

[BBS]

[thatched]

We should go and celebrate when it gets closer to the day. How about I throw you a bachelor party?

[BBS]

[corruptedsouls]

What's a bachelor party?

[BBS]

[thatched]

An unmarried man is a bachelor. This is to celebrate the last night of your bachelor stage of life. It's almost a transition into adulthood.

[BBS]

[corruptedsouls]

Oh! Then yeah! That sounds like fun!

[BBS]

[thatched]

Leave it all to me, sweetheart. You'll have the time of your life. Speaking of which, when are you planning on doing it?

[BBS]

[corruptedsouls]

I don't know. Espio didn't say anything.

[BBS]

[fierybluebird]

Written exam or practical?

[BBS]

[thatched]

Standard Fourth Division.

[Which is the equivalent of throwing the baby in the water and seeing if he learns to swim quickly]

[BBS]

[fierybluebird]

You think they're ready for that?

[BBS]

[thatched]

Don't worry, mate. I know what I'm doing. I've had five years of practice.

[BBS]

[fierybluebird]

That's reassuring.

I'll trust your fifteen years back on the Grand Line more, thanks.

[BBS]

[thatched]

Not the same thing. There's a difference between training men who want to be pirates and tender spring clover.

[BBS]

[fierybluebird]

In that pirates can only be trained if they want to be.

[BBS]

[thatched]

True enough. Some of us just can't be tamed.

[BBS]

[curiouseyes]

That means I need to schedule a meeting with you.

-Koriand'r

[BBS]

[thatched]

Oh, you're a student?



[Well there went that idea]


I'm in my office right now if you want to stop by.

[BBS]

[curiouseyes]

I am. Only have half a year left.

[surprise]

I am come over right now. I'll be right there.

[And she's practically out the door already]

[BBS]

[thatched]

Roger that. I'll have the door open so come on in.

[his office may seem smaller than she's used to, but only because his desk and chair are a bit bigger to accommodate his seven foot frame. There are a few packed bookshelves in one corner, a droopy looking fern in the other and a picture dominating the wall behind him.

Thatch is working on his terminal, a small porcelain tea set near his elbow, with steam coming from the pot]

[curiouseyes]

[She arrives at his office in just a few minutes. She steps part way in looking at his office for a moment before she knocks on the door]

Hello, Sir.

[Action]

[thatched]

Hello, miss.

[he looks away from the terminal and smiles at her]

Have a seat. Have some tea. [he gestures] And please tell me how to pronounce your name since I'm a little flummoxed.

[Action]

[curiouseyes]

Thank you.

[She walks over and sits down across from him at his desk before pouring herself some tea]

Koriand'r. There is an Earth spice with the same pronunciation. Coriander. Or you can call me Kory if that is easier.

[Action]

[thatched]

Coriander. Got it.

So which class are you in, Miss Coriander. And when?

[he pours himself some tea as well]

Lemon?
