Um, if Celes-chan is out there listening.... err, Celestia Ludenberg that is... I talked to my friend, and she convinced me that maybe the two of us setting out on our own isn't the best course of action. We've decided to look around and see what we can't find out, and I was wondering... could you tell me a bit about your crew?

Like I said, it's not a commitment or anything, but I just wanted to see what you guys had to offer...

Um, the same goes for someone by the name of Lady Maribelle... I spoke to your friend Kyouya-kun, and I wanted to know if I could talk to you about what your crew is all about as well. Again, I'm Aida Mana, and I hope this isn't an imposition...

I suppose I can take time out of my day to tell you about my crew. What do you wish to know?

It's nice to see that my associate has been keeping busy in looking for like minded recruits. As you may have heard, I am Lady Maribelle and the goals of my crew are almost entirely altruistic. I seek to protect the innocent from being harmed by pirates, explore the islands of this world for the sake of all other newcomers, and to help bring peace and justice to all. We shall be treasure hunting solely for the sake of financing our voyages, and to keep such things out of the hands of pirates who might use them for many a nefarious purpose. Any pirate that dares to attack us shall be dealt with harshly, but that does not mean we shall go after every ship that flies a jolly roger.

Each case needs to be judged carefully, to see if a crew is actually a harm to the greater good, or the innocent. Some pirates are solely out there for the sake of treasure hunting and adventure, and while I do not condone them doing so under the pretense of lawlessness, we not only lack the manpower to act against every pirate crew, but some simply don't deserve to be persecuted. While in ports, we shall try to sell goods that we find on our adventures, and otherwise we shall act as treasure hunters. As to pirate crews that we defeat, we shall try to return any of their ill gotten gains to their rightful owners, but in the instance that rightful owners cannot be found we will hold onto such things.

There will no doubt be chores to be done by us all in our journey, yet I think you won't find much better offers in that regard. The locals don't care very much for those of us brought here, and sailing seems to be our only reasonable choice. If you are incapable of fighting there are still many more roles that need to be filled. I cannot promise you a completely free ride, but I can promise that working with me shall have benefits. I intend to see to it that every member of my crew shall receive a fair share of pay, as well as the finest protection offered by any crew.

If you seek to find a crew of honor, and integrity, then I suggest that you join me Aida Mana... because I promise that I will always have the best interests of my companions at heart.
