Okay. No. Fuck this. Fuck all this bullshit!

[Alex has stormed below deck and gotten her journal. She's kind of yelling at it. Sorry everyone.]

I'm not staying on this ship!

I'm-- That's just-- It's a bad idea, okay? I need to get off this ship. Now.

I can fight. I can't sail. I get sick as hell at night, but I need off this ship.

Anyone hiring?

[She may change her mind after she cools down, but she's furious right now. And anger, hunger, and night? Are going to make a bad combination. And not even an asshole like the guy on her ship who got them banned deserves that.]

L-Elf? What ship are you on? Your captain got room for one more? Someone?


[It takes some time -- well after dark -- before Alex actually gets herself up and goes looking for someone. A particular someone, actually. Her stomach's killing her, but she walks the ship until she finds him.

Haytham Kenway.]

Sir? I-- Can I talk to you?

L-Elf is on the same crew I am. I'm sure we could find room for you.

However, though I am not the captain, I would want to be certain that this sort of response on your end is not something that would repeat itself.

[She is currently being addressed quite sternly by a thirteen year old boy.]

What has angered you about your current ship and crew?

[And now she's being talked down to by a kid.

Great.

Fuck this day, seriously.]

What's wrong is that one asshole on our crew got us banned from any information from the one person who seems to have it. For months. And doesn't seem to give a shit that him being a selfish jerk hurts all of us because he's totally alone and not responsible for anyone else. Except that, you know, a crew is a team and if we're not in this together then what's the fucking point of being together. And, of course, I don't get it. What is "it"? No idea. Know why? Because I'm apparently supposed to just get it without it ever being talked about, but I'm the brat for calling him out on it.

That's what's wrong.

[Mentioning that his brother is the reason they all got kicked off the main island for a while probably isn't the best idea, then.]

Your anger is understandable, but it will get you nowhere.

Ultimately, your crewmate may not have even known that his words would affect your crew as a whole. We are at the mercy of others here.

If you have an important question that needs asking, perhaps you can get someone on another crew to ask for you.

If he didn't know and actually felt bad about it? I wouldn't be this pissed. Instead, he's still throwing a fit. Like we should be agreeing with him because we won't get to see anything she tells people. For months.

voice

[forthevillage]

I see...

But will leaving the crew actually rid you of this punishment?

Re: voice

[oneofthelost]

Don't know, don't care. Leaving is more to get me away from the asshole who got us all in trouble in the first place so I don't have to worry about him doing something like that again.

voice

[forthevillage]

I wish you luck with that, then.

[Note that this isn't an invitation to his crew. Not that he has a say.]
