piratejournal | Two ♥

[Rise takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She hasn't really done something like this in almost a year - not after she first dropped the "Risette" character in disgust - but she'd resolved to be comfortable with every part of herself, and that included the flirty idol persona. Besides, she needed to get Captain Motochika on the road so she could go find Senpai.]

[She opens her book and takes a deep breath again.]

Good afternoon, everybody! This is Rise again, speaking on behalf of Captain Motochika Chōsokabe - the pirate, not the samurai - and his crew! For just a few more hours we're recruiting sailors for a venture out of Isla Empieza to go and find those crystal shards.

"So's everybody," you say, and I guess that's true, but Captain Motochika (pirate) is a rarity among us, a genuinely experienced captain of the waves, with the skills of a sailor, warrior, and explorer that we need in a ship's captain in this strange place. How can you do better for a captain than an honest-to-goodness anchor-swinging pirate, hm~? I bet you can't.

Of course, on the opposite end of the crew, there's little old me, just a humble sixteen-year-old girl trying to make her way in the world. I don't have a lot of skills or experience outside of singing, acting, magical treasure-finding and monster-avoiding skills, and the knowledge of gourmet dishes that convinced the good Captain Motochika (pirate) to bring me on as the ship's cook, but I can guarantee I'll try my best! I'd especially like to join up with any experienced sailors who can show me the ropes - I'd be really appreciative, in fact~

So if you're a good sailor or fighter who wants to work with one of the most experienced captains among us, or would like to give a hand to a girl who's a little lost in return for good cooking and maybe a song and some help finding your heart's desire, please come meet us at the docks this evening. You can't miss us!

[She closes the book and sighs. At least she didn't have to wear a bikini for that.]

[Really, he can't help it. He can't. He's spoken to Motochika and Motochika sounds like a soft-touch. Compared to himself. And compared to even Jack Sparrow. Pirate Lords, the both of them, in charge of entire seas.

So. Here. Have some deep, nasally, stacatto laughter, because really, this is fucking funny.]

Well, I apologize if this didn't meet your standards for recruitment advertisements, but I've never recruited for a pirate ship before.

It stands to reason if you have to keep mentioning he's a pirate, he's not likely to be a very good one, is he?

Oh, that's just so people who weren't paying attention could be sure to remember which Motochika Chōsokabe I was talking about. There's two of them, and I think the one who's a samurai already has a full crew.

Ahem. 'one of the most experienced captains among us'? I doubt it.

[ He tries not to.

He really does. Because this lass sounds so serious but really, that just makes it even funnier. And far be him to be of the same mind as Hector Barbossa, but there's not much else there was to do.

I mean, really. "One of the most experienced captains among us"?

Jack can do nothing but laugh. ]

H-hey, this is going to start damaging my self-esteem here...

Mayhap you should consider gettin' more self-esteem, then, if laughin' is all that's needed t' damage it.

Based on that and your accent, I can conclude you never went to high school.

Education ain't got nothin' to do with intelligence, lass.

No matter what altitude the school be at.

[Uh oh. If Rise's cooking then that crew is in trouble. But seriously, how did one of them didn't pass out from said cooking?

And whoever is laughing up there, shut up. Not everyone has experience in being a pirate.]

So you got a place in mind where you're going?

I told you I'm coming where you are, just as soon as I figure out where that is. Have you asked your crew about it yet?

We're on Aeolipile Isle. I'm just glad I can move around somewhat.

Then that's where we're going. Even if the captain doesn't know it yet.

And he'll be alright with it?

Ah! I take it you've found a crew then? Congratulations, Kujikawa-dono!

[Things Rise never expected to hear herself referred to as: that.]

Thank you! Just so you know, I'd be happy with something a little less formal than "Kujikawa-dono". Like...most things less formal than "-dono", really.

Ah... Kujikawa-... san? Is that better?

Perfect! Frankly I'd accept Rise-chan if you really felt like it, but Kujikawa-san is good when we haven't even really met in person

I-I'm not calling you Rise-chan. That's too much.

You're really pushing the pirate captain bit.

Well, if you've got it, what's more important on a resumé than experience?

Experience is fine but you don't need to shout it to every Harry, Dick and Moe.

Man, I'm starting to realize how hard writing a commercial script is, now. Everyone's telling me I oversold it.

There's an art to everything and you just started. Relax, you'll get it next time.
