Well... now that the draft is over, I think it's a good time to do this. Because of all the fighting we have do while we're here, either by choice or by force, it's a good idea to have some understanding of combat in case of an emergency. From what I heard about this last battle, even the people who took refuge weren't able to stay out of the fight. We can't really afford to take chances like that anymore, and I'd like to do something about that- so I have a proposal for the girls of Luceti.

First of all, I'm Suki. I know I look young, but where I'm from, I lead a group of girls known as the Kyoshi Warriors. We're well-trained in combat, and the focus of our style is a mix of defense, stealth, and using our opponent's strength against them. Girls are often smaller and not as strong as men, and it's very important to never view that as a weakness.

None of my warriors are here right now, but I want to start the group here anyway. There's no age limit, no experience needed, you just have to be willing to listen and learn. If you'd like to join, or ask me questions, please, let me know, okay? And if you don't want to get involved in my group, Buffy runs a fighting school as well, and I'm sure there's plenty of great teachers willing to help there, too.

I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt if it can be avoided, so... I hope you'll all think about it.

[Oh yes, absolutely relevant to her fighting style.]

You've never had it?

[What is this heresy?]

[kyoshi]

I don't think so. What is it?

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

Only the best food in the world! You should come by my shop and I'll treat you!

[kyoshi]

Oh, you have a shop? Is it in the plaza, then?

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

Sure is! Right by Good Spirits! You can't miss it.

I can show you what I can do while you're here too!

[kyoshi]

Great! I think I'll stop by, then. Are you open today?

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

You bet. All day, every day. Girl's gotta earn a living, you know?

[Which is more true in Tokyo than it is in Luceti, but hardworking habits die hard.]

[kyoshi]

Oh, so it's something you did back home?

[Wow, so independent.]

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

I sure did. Learned from my dad, then trained by the raging seas. Once I moved to Tokyo to be with my fiance, I needed a way to take care of myself.

[kyoshi]

Oh, you're engaged too? Congratulations! [How exciting!]

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

Thank you! We've been engaged since we were little, but my Ranma-honey is the bravest and strongest man I know.

So you're engaged? What's he like?

[kyoshi]

Have you ever met Sokka? He works at the smithy here.

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

I have met him! He came by the shop before.

[kyoshi]

I thought he might. I loves food.

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

I can tell. He's about the same age as my Ranma. I think boys their age are always hungry.

[kyoshi]

Haha, that's probably true! It's amazing we don't run out of food, with all the teenage guys that live here.

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

I lose a small fortune feeding Ranma, but what's a girl to do, you know?

[kyoshi]

Not much. You have to support the man you love. [Even if they're blockheads half the time.]

[cutefiancee.livejournal.com]

You got that right.

[It's why Akane doesn't stand a chance in Ukyo's estimation.]
