It seems I only ever address the journals with bad news.

[A small sigh. It's to be expected, but he's growing tired of the revolving door that seems to be his crew.]

The Uchiha brothers, Sasuke and Itachi, seem to be gone. This time without explanation.

[Private to the Sabers]
As for this crew, we are low in numbers and in a bit of a bind now that we are, once again, in a shaky position of leadership. We have always maintained a casual air to our ranks, and that will not be changing for as long as it seems to work.

We do, however, need to discuss the matter of the Corpse King. He is showing his face again, this time with a growing armada, and I am sure many of you have revenge on the mind. Though I too would like to run my blade through his gut, we must keep our heads. This is not a time for reckless decision, and I will not toss you all onto the front lines against both him and the Navy, even if it means the slim chance of obtaining another shard.

Our absolute priority right now, I think, is keeping this crew afloat. I propose that we make way for Empieza for recruiting, as that time is coming up soon again.

I will be in my quarters, if you would like to speak with me in person.

Even with the cover of using another crew as a decoy, I do not think it wise to pursue him once again.

The matter at hand, more than restoring our honor to such an embarrassing event, is still the potential of a shard. I feel this fact above all others must make us consider options. We did not plan well, blinded by our over confidence in the matter... an oversight I blame upon myself. That is why this time I propose we observe, plan, and use everything we can in our power to outwit our enemy.

No brash boarding, not infiltration without a backup plan. We wait, we see, and we take what can be taken when the opportunity arises.

[forhylia]

I will hold off on writing an attack completely out of the picture, then, until we have waited and observed. Even if we end up doing nothing, we will have learned something.

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

Learning is sometimes worth more than acting.

[forhylia]

If only we had taken that position the first time...

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

It is easy to say what we should have done. And I must admit I was far too willing to go along. However, since then I have awoken to some important conclusions, and I will not fail in such matters again.
