Dear Captains of Various Crews of Those Spirited Away by Davy Jones,

Would you ever keep a secret from your crew? Why or why not?

Personally, I'm not sure what secret would be deemed worth keeping away from my crew, but I'd think I'd be able to confide in at least my first mate. It could depend on the secret, itself. Is it one that will spare them my tragic end from an incurable illness? Then perhaps I'd keep it for a bit, until I knew that it was truly incurable.

Really, being captain is a harder job than one may think. I took that role on knowing the difficulty, however.

Overall, I would not keep secrets that directly influence my crew or their interests if I could help it, whether or not the secret would affect those secrets positively or negatively. If I can't trust my crew, then I might as well end their lives right now, since their presence would be unnecessary.

[The next part is added a moment later.]

As if they would go down easily, or at all!

Best Regards,
Captain Grell the Red

P.S.
If there are those who held positions of leadership in your world who also wish to reply and aren't captains, it would be appreciated.

[NOPE. Fighting for your life at your own expense is better than being forced to fight for someone else's.]

[No, you always fight for everyone else's too. Otherwise your crew wouldn't be so loyal and trust you to handle their best interests.]

[Forcing them to fight to stay on their crew in some silly game rather than allowing them to fight because they want to as the pirates, and beings they are, is in the crew's best interests. Grell wouldn't use her crew in such a way that would limit them to just things.

She wouldn't be any better than those who enslaved her otherwise.]

[No no. There is no forcing them to fight in the game, that's the whole point. If they don't want to do the game, they don't. Period.]
