001 ♫ (voice)

[behisstrength]

[It is a deep, rich voice that greets listeners, calm and confident, distinct from his counterpart.]

The Koumyou seeks crew. I am its captain, Chōsokabe Motochika... the daimyo, not the pirate. Beside me stands Akechi Mitsuhide, whom some of you already know. We do not expect past experience from potential crew members: only a steadfast desire to contribute and the determination to see our task done.

So what do we have to offer?

We possess extensive naval experience, in and out of battle; the skill, focus and conviction of seasoned samurai; a sense of responsibilty towards our own and the willingness to share our knowledge.

Seize the opportunity -- come and meet us to discover whether you resonate with our crew.

[... Oh no you didn't.] If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you.

You want to get home too, right? [Don't pretend this is charity, because he doesn't need yours. Except maybe he does. A little.]

[behisstrength]

So be it.

[That flare of attitude is much better to see than the almost bored tone before.]

Allow me to amend my assurance. We strive to forge a path home for every last one of us, even if we must defy fate itself. I expect you to do your part too with the same unwavering conviction.

[shark_face]

I will. [For slightly less altruistic reasons, maybe - but he'll do it if it's the last thing he does.]

And I'll swim whatever distance and stroke you want. Just tell me when and where.

Mitsuhide and I want to meet you in person regardless. Come down to the shipyard at your leisure. We will arrange the details of your display of skill then.
