piratejournal | A Written Warning

WARNING:

I will no longer condone the continued harassment of local innocents nor the willful and callous destruction of their property.

The next one of you who throws a temper tantrum that causes harm to homes, stores, livelihoods, or scenery that do not belong to our enemies THE NAVY will find yourself tied up and punished in the same manner of your wanton destruction.

Davy Jones can bring you back from being murdered, but let's see what he can do with someone who is burned almost to death, shall we?

If you do not have respect for the sanctity of the lives of those around you, then I shall have no respect for you.

This is a promise.

Signed,
Elissa Cousland

[Elissa doesn't use her usual blue, ballpoint pen for this entry. While she may be overly enamoured of the wonders of plastic pen technology, a noble just doesn't make a formal proclamation with such an implement. Since she's long since rid of her old quill and ink, she has borrowed Haytham's to write out this decisive statement of warning. In it, she uses a formal, calligraphic font that is almost Celtic. It is signed with a bold, angry flourish.]

That's completely different. Any human can defend themselves. A puppy wouldn't decide to set fire to an entire island.

Fine. Miss Cousland, was it? I'll be looking forward to the day we do.

Not any human can defend themselves. What of the children who were affected by that fire? Maker, but you are all damnably obstinate!

Cousland, yes. Elissa Cousland. Grey Warden.

And your name?

They can blame their parents. Fine. The children shouldn't have had to suffer. Are you happy yet?

B.B. Hood. Dark Hunter.

No. I am not.

Do you have family?

That's none of your business, ma'am.

It might help you to have more compassion to imagine how you would feel if someone burned down your family home. That is the only reason that I was asking.

Of course, not everyone has a good, loving family, so it might not be the best suggestion.

I'd wind up with less compassion for humanity, and there woudn't be anything left of that someone for them to identify.

In other words, you are a hopeless cause.

Oh good, you ARE learning! I was worried for a second. ♥
