[Locked from Codi]

[Fuu sighs slightly. What kind of crew did she actually join? They aren't helping anyone and it seems that things will just go from bad to worse and honestly, while she wanted to try and stop it all she wondered if the captain just wouldn't try it again at a later date. She wanted to help people not to fight in pointless battles that have no right being fought at all. It wasn't long before she locked this voice post and started to speak.]

I have a general wondering. Has anyone ever questioned a captain's actions before? If so how did you go about talking to them about it? [She was concerned and that much was obvious.]

I thought I would at least ask before I am certain about what I'll say.

[Locked to Akira, Crocker, Dustin and Hachiken]

I hope you are all okay even in light of very recent events. I have a question I want to bring to you and I want your honest opinion. It's about our captain. I... honestly want to know what you think about how they have been running things and also if you want me to bring anything up with them?

[Locked to Codi.]

Captain, we need to talk. It's important and will help me make a choice as to what I'll do next.

Our captain is a lunatic, so most of his actions are questionable, anyway.

[And yet, he's still on the crew.]

But he can be reasonable most times. If we really had a problem with something, we'd just tell him so.

[windofthephoenixtemple]

I see. So he knows when he is in the wrong at least or when things go a little too out of control?

[She's pretty sure this isn't the case with Codi. She doesn't even call them captain right now.]

[formerabyssinian]

Usually, but he has the rest of us if he can't do so on his own. He's pretty good about listening to his crew.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

All the time.

I just talk to him. No problem.

[Voice]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

So it's easy for you, I assume?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

I've had two captains. One was my father, the other is my baby brother.

If I ever disagreed with my Pops, it was because I didn't know all of what he was thinking and he was always willing to take the time to explain it if I asked.

With Ace, he's still a brat, yoi. But he means well, and he's always got a good reason for what he does.

[He wouldn't ever call it easy because communication is not his strongest point at all, but they're family. If anything, he'll kick his family's collective asses, but he knows since they all love each other, it'll work out okay.]

The harder ones are where I'm not sure of the right way to go. Then I just put my faith in my captain and let them choose. [Ergo, the harder part is being the captain in his opinion. Backing up his father or Ace is the easy part. Even if they do something insane and stupid, he trusts them, and they trust him to pull them through it.] So the question is, do your trust your Captain?

[Private Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

When I joined, I figured everybody was pretty good-natured. Turns out that I'm an idiot, as usual. Between Codi's attitude toward the Navy, this fairy business, and her mouth biting us in the ass, I've had it. I'm done.

First, I'm gonna' sort this mess out and try to quell this thing before it gets out of hand. Then I'm destroyin' Crocker's machine. Then I'm gone. I don't care if I have to swim home. I'll go it alone if I have to.

[Private Voice]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

I guess we both thought that when we first joined. I thought I was doing a good thing in helping but... It seems that I was wrong. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this though.

If you'd like to come with me to talk to Codi, I'll be happy for you to help. I think I could use someone there.

[Though she just hopes she has elsewhere to go to maybe go back to the main island and get ones own boat, or find a nicer crew. She didn't know what she wanted to do yet. But she knew after this a break was the best idea.]

Re: [Private Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

That'd be helpful. Maybe two voices of reason would get through to her. She's too fuckin' prideful! That's a hell of a thing, comin' from me, but I've been there before. My pride bit me in the ass, and now it's happenin' to her.

[voice, locked from Codi]

[windyellow]

I'm not even sure what started all of this stuff other than what that that other crew was saying about the captain. This like not a very comfortable thing for me, and hopefully we can peacefully resolve this. I do think the captain went a little too far in her teasing though.

[voice, locked from Codi]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

I hope we can too, but if Codi doesn't give them an apology and this talk doesn't help, we'd have to think of our next step and prepare for the worst.

In which case if the worst is to happen I'd like for you to do this, but only when the need arrives for it. I'd want you to take Hachiken whose usually found in the kitchen and use the Nav. I'd rather he not be involved with this at all.

If you know another crew who would be willing to take you for a time then go to them. I could always see if someone I know would be willing. Would that be okay?

[voice, locked from Codi]

[windyellow]

You know this whole thing could have been resolved already if Codi would just apologize to everyone. I'm hoping for the best.

[Always the optimist.]

One thing though, if we leave what happens to you? Wouldn't you need help too?

[voice, locked from Codi]

[crackpotcrocker]

I can't say I appreciate her getting us involved in another fight.

[But what's he to say? His own temper can land him into trouble.]

...But she wants to be my friend - and that's more then I could ever want.

If anything that machine should in theory keep up from having to fight should worst come to worst.

[voice, locked from Codi]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[So she at least is nice in some areas that she can see clearly, but yet getting people who at least half cannot fight is just a little too much to her to handle right now. Especially at who they were aimed at.]

I...wouldn't trust the machine too much if Akira has anything to say about it.

[Just a word of warning there.]

[voice, locked from Codi]

[crackpotcrocker]

[There's a voice of dread.]

What do you mean?!

[To an extant he kind of saw this coming but Codi did have him backed up but the way things are turning now maybe...]

[Voice]

[unlikelyfarmhand]

[Hachiken chokes out an answer.]

I'm...fine.

[He's a terrible liar]

[Voice]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

That doesn't sound like your fine. What's wrong? Do you need a medic?

[Because she'll be on her way.]

[voice - private to Fuu]

[maskedtyrant]

Yes, yes, I get it! Very important!

[Codi sounds breathless--she's running.]

Look, we can talk about this when we get on the ship. Okay?

[voice - private to Fuu]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[She is starting to wonder what this is about. In fact she has already decide to go to get off the ship and onto the shore.]

Why? Did you annoy the other crew more?

[Voice/Locked]

[put_yur_guns_on]

Havin' trouble?

I haven't had to question the guy callin' himself captain, but I figure it'd be the same as some disagreements as a lord and his followers.

...although I can't say I've had that experience either, but my guys can be as crazy as me, heh. But they know they can tell me anything if they've got concerns. So, hopefully whoever you're callin' captain is open to hearin' their own crew out, ah? Ships don't seem to run themselves, captain or no.

[Voice/Locked]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

Yes. Our 'captain' has made another crew angry and one they shouldn't have and so now things are getting a little out of hand.

[She pauses as she listens.]

I certainly hope so. If not this can get ugly and I hope it won't actually echo to other crews to join in or something.

[Filtered]

[theartofboom]

[For once, Chandra sounds serious, her voice edged with curiosity and concern.]

At times, yes. Ace is arguably less sane than I am.

[And this should say something.]

[Filtered]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[She pauses for a moment. Is she actually saying she is more insane? She wondered why but choose not to ask questions. It wasn't the time.]

So it isn't just our crew that wonders. But I assume you trust him?

voice;

[feetarestrange]

I'd say just talking to them is the best choice. Find a good moment and let them know how you really feel.

voice;

[windofthephoenixtemple]

That's the plan hopefully and hope things don't get worse.
