[After discovering how her journal might work in this thread, Maribelle wastes no time in trying an entry of her own.]

To all those capable of reading this message, I would like to announce that I fully intend to form a company of individuals who are sick of the lowborn filth and scum known as pirates. For too long have I witnessed the innocent have their livelihoods and lives threatened by these brigands, and now I have been shanghaied to work for one?! No I say! We must take a stand together as one, and defend this world from these hooligans at every turn!

There will never be peace in this world if we simply let pirate ransack, pillage, and steal from whoever they please. So I'm issuing a call to the masses, rally to me all of you who wish to see Justice. Rally to me those who are confused and live in fear of being squashed under the heel of this pirate menace. Rally to me all of ye people who wish to see a brighter tomorrow, for I shall not rest until we all can see it!

A true, legitimate hero! A fighter of evil across land or sea! Uh, it was usually more of the former than the latter, but heroes can adapt for any habitat.

A hero you say? A vanquisher of evil, and a paragon of honor and chivalry?

Mighty hero, might I impose upon you to help me in my quest? There shall no doubt be perilous dangers, but I feel that if you were to help us in our dire cause we might just stand a chance of defeating the evils of this land... and sea. With you, I feel we shall be able to defend the innocent, defeat the dastardly, and return the shining ray of hope and light to the world.

[Okay... she might be laying it on a little thick, but all of it was honest at least. He seemed the type to respect grand spoken gestures and heroic monologues much like her Darling Lissa's son Owain. Clearly these two must meet someday]

[His tone is relatively matter of fact. Maybe the effect of the flattery on him plateau'd. Or maybe he's just in his comfort zone] An alliance would bring a lot of power and efficiency but - ["But I've always worked only with people that saw me as their equal. Partners." are the unspoken words] I'll consider it.

Oh...

[There's definately a hint of disappointment in her voice. Still... at least he said he'd consider it.]

Well... if you do decide to help us, I'm meeting with prospective applicants this Wednesday afternoon. (see log comm) I would be truly honored if you would join us, but I would even accept you working with us as a free agent.
