Audio private to the Spades, early in the morning

[thatched]

Listen up. Prepare to move out. Captain's orders. Anything that needs to get done on shore, wrap up before noon today because that's when we'll be weighing anchor. Moon will take point, Sun will pick up any stragglers, but don't be a straggler. Namur is captaining the Moon but for anything else come to me. If you have problems with this you can remain on shore.

For anyone that remains with the Spade Pirates. The end is unknown. There is likely to be a hard fight or two before the end of it. But we'll get through it so long as we fight together. That is all.

[Thatch will be standing in the exact center of the Sun, arms folded, if you wish to talk.

[he decides he doesn't want to know the details and, frankly, as long as it isn't Ace, he doesn't much care]

Aye. That's well and good. You're welcome to ah--take the edge off of anyone whose gone off the deep end.

[which he hopes is no one, but just in case--]

I'm not sure it would work, but if I could get close enough someone, I could try and override whatever this mind control is. At least, Chandra thinks it's mind control. I'd need to bite them, or someone else to manage that though. I'd need to strengthen myself to do it at a distance.

[Action]

[thatched]

Not mind control, lad. No use making a bad situation worse. Just tire them out. [how can he tell him to just be a tick without using so many words]

[Action]

[reluctantjinrou]

Alright.

[Natsuno isn't in charge, and he's not about to piss Thatch off either, there's enough going on, so he'll defer to him without more than a shrug.]

[Action]

[thatched]

Good lad.

[he scratches the back of his head]

Best be prepared for some rough sailing either way, though.

[Action]

[reluctantjinrou]

I'm prepared. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know.

[Action]

[thatched]

I will. Thank you, lad. [even though he just said it. Have a friendly clap on the shoulder]
