violetlies: You attempted what you called the "Long Island Heist", in which you shoved a half glass of Long Island down your pants and asked me to help you sneak it out. That drunk. (If this is love I cannot wait to part)

Considering it's my natural habit to strategize, I'd hope so.

[Some people were more inclined to punch, punch, punch, then think. Kokichi knew a fair few. (un)Luckily, he wasn't Tenko. He wasn't some kind of glory-seeker, either - that was Kaito's department, not his. To Kokichi, the thought that he's partaking in some kind of class intended for heroes seems like downright whiplash. He was so used to acting in the role of a villain...

Well. Still. He'd absolutely be smug about it to Kaito if he were to show up. Step aside, hero boy.

He nodded.]


The biggest thing I've heard about combat is that it pays to be adaptable. So. Find something long-range first, then short-range, maybe. I know in the end one probably is gonna end up more honed than the other, but I 'spose I can't tell for sure until I try some stuff out.

[Which he's perfectly fine with doing. Experimentation was vital at this stage. And then once he had an idea of how he'd take to actually holding and using something, he could buckle down.]

[ He breaks into a smile, here: that particularly fond one he gives when something reminds him of a story. ]

To that end, we've developed something of a tradition, on Remnant... the place which was my home before Trench. Many of our weapons are designed for both long-range and and close combat.

[ He lifts his cane as though in demonstration, twirls it. ]

I'm afraid I cannot give a suitable demonstration with this old thing... it is only a bladed cane. [ This is a blatant lie. ] But any of the others from my homeland... Ruby, Oscar, Qrow, to name a few... could show you the strategy. You're right that a person is often more skilled in one arena than the other, but it is vital to have that flexibility.

We could begin with something as simple as an unadorned blade. I seem to be lacking in ranged weapons, I'm afraid, so for today we may be constrained in our options.
violetlies: i made the cop pinkie-promise not to arrest me if i failed the breathalizer. (Must see my work here)

Hm. That's a tradition I can appreciate. [It's smart, in a place that is likely more combat-focused than normal Japan. Hearing of other worlds was always fascinating, really, though usually harrowing. It made his own experiences seem like nothing.

He watches as Ozpin lifts his cane--and being one to detect liars, the only thing that tips him off to the fact that they might mutually be aware that's a lie is a small, amused smile on Kokichi's part. It's better for other people to think that, huh?

He nods.]


Well! I can't object to that. Unadorned blade it is! I'm ready!
