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.

That's a big can of worms you're opening there, Miss Minette.

To even say 'aye' to such a thing invites a lot of trouble.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but trouble is rather easy to invite.

Would you like a worm, pretty birdie~?

[alksdjalskdjalskj Don't flirt with him damn it!]

[He was trying to be cool here!]

[Okay he can do this, totally easier on the journal anyway, so hah.]

I've noticed.

I'd prefer a taste of something a little sweeter actually.

[She wasn't even flirting with him yet GOSH.

There...is a bit of silence over on his end? But he's back now, it seems.]

Chocolate covered worms?

[:|]

I was thinking of something redde--

[Wait.]

[No.]

[He facepalms and snaps himself out of it.]

No thank you, Kitten. How was your massacre?

[YET. But now she heard some Freudian slip there~!]

Are you sure? I could accommodate you~!

It is still in the works, but we have a plan. [Mostly just chasing them all over the world until she says otherwise.]

[Coughs.] Probably not if you knew the full extent of what I have in mind.

That so? Pity. Sounds like you must be dying to get some action.

Ah~? Why don't you enlighten me?

[Grell hums softly, because it's true.]

Someone will surely be DYING when we're through.

No way, eh. You might be willing to invite trouble, but I'm trying to skirt around it a little longer.

[And he hums right back.] It's nice that your crew is in such agreement with you on that, eh.

At least I am wearing a skirt! Although I've been thinking about a new one. Should I let you pick out the next one, since you'll be around it for a while?

I don't see how they would disagree, honestly. Yet, not all of their crew seems to be on the same page with their...captain.

[She says the word in disdain, because she doesn't think Codi really deserves such a title.]

[....]

[He doesn't know if he hates you or not, but he might have a nosebleed, well damn.] Is that a real offer? Because I warn you, I just might take you up on it.

Hah. Well, inheriting a crew is never easy, and rookies are generally idiots. They've had less time to make mistakes and learn from them.

[Excellent. Although it doesn't count for much since she can't revel in it.]

Only if you have good taste in clothing. [Which should be a 'yes' because he always keeps his shirt open.]

I certainly hope that is the case. It's not challenging to fight a crew already at such a handicap such as disorganization.

Second or third best, I should think. But I have a fantastic eye for colors. [And legs.]

They seem to be falling apart just in fear of you, Kitten.

Then you may assist me. [She's got some of those. Maybe four.] Don't let me down~!

That was the initial plan, but now? It's pathetic! [SIGHS DRAMATICALLY] We should just put them out of their misery!

[Are the stolen extras well preserved?] I'll do my best.

It might be better for them, but do you really want to do the navy a favor like that?

[Proooooobably not. Don't worry, they don't stick around long.]

And let the navy take all the glory? Honestly, Marco! You should know the answer to your own question!

I wouldn't keep a secret from my crew. [That was rather blunt.]

I don't see the point in doing such a silly thing, honestly. Secrets always come out in the end and that then destroys the trust you might have.

[Gross!]

[And he laughs.] What glory? You said yourself this isn't even a fight between a spider and flies caught in a web.

But they're our targets! Not theirs! Just because it's an uneven fight doesn't mean we won't fight!

So long as you have no regrets, eh?

Go get 'em, Kitten.

Precisely! It's hard to fight as a unit with such a thing making a rift between us. It would be the death of us all!

I don't plan to have any!

Such a supportive birdie you are~!

[You know what? He blames Thatch for this. He has some sort of Pavlovian reaction to being called a birdie now.]

Well, I was never one to root for the underdog.

And your crew is sweeter.

[Tracing patterns idly on the wood railing of his ship.]
