[Warden Filter]
Alright, as we're all very well aware at this point, people seem to get kidnapped here a lot. And obviously we can't prepare for everything - believe me, if you'd have told me I was going to get bit by a rattlesnake on board the ship a couple weeks ago, I would have said you were nuts - but it never hurts to know a couple things just in case you get pounced in the gym and end up being held hostage for a couple hours.
So, that said, I'm going to be holding self defense classes, either in the gym or the CES, every day of the week, floods, ports and other natural disasters permitting. Mostly basic stuff, like how to get out of a choke hold and how to incapacitate someone quickly if they come up from behind you, and if people are interested in going a step farther and covering some more complicated stuff, I'd be up for that, too.
For the record, I'm not teaching you how to kill people, just how to hold your own in a fight and incapacitate anyone with plans to make off with your unconscious body. And if you have an inmate you want to get training too, let me know and they're more than welcome to come. I just figured this shouldn't be a totally open invite if anyone's concerned someone's going to use this stuff on them the next time someone cooks up a 'I want to take over the Barge' scheme.
Somewhat relatedly, if anyone just wants to go spar and/or brush up on some technique, I'm always up for that. I've got a background in just about everything, weapon based or not, although if anyone's got a basis in something like eskrima or whatever kind of stick fighting is normal where you're from, I have to admit I'm partial to it.
[Warden Cop Filter - George, Carla, Angua, did I forget anyone?]
So, back when Howie was here - you remember, George - he said he and the other warden cops used to have "Friday night pints". I don't really drink, but it might be kind of fun to start that up again, swap some stories... Would you all be interested in giving it a shot after dinner tonight? Or next week, if someone's got plans?
[Private to Rorschach]
Do you want to go up to the CES with me? [No ulterior motive here at all. Why would you ever suggest that. >>]
[Private to Jim]
So Tim got me a paintball set for Christmas. Want to go try it out? [This seems safer than you shooting a phaser at him and trying to dodge it. :x]

Good luck with it.

We'll see. First I have to get my door put back on.
[ Private ]
Can't you just ask the Admiral?
[ Private ]
[He might show up in the gym sometime; as far as the asking the Admiral for anything goes, though... it's an honest question. No one's told him he could ask for such trivial things.]
[ Private ]
[Ironically Dick's maybe a little more wary of the gym than he was before, so it seems like we have a slight failure at being in synch here.]
[ Private ]
[Dean is amused by this. And who knows, maybe someday he'll man up and drag his ass up from belowdecks.
[ Private ]
[Dean, if Bones can do it, you totally can.]
[ Private ]
[SO HIGH.]
