[Private to crew of the Charming Murderess] [Audio + Possible action]

[gokai_red]

Okay, so here's the thing.

As that Hornblower guy pointed out, every month people arrive at the same time. No reason to think it's gonna be any different now.

Everyone always appears at the same place.

Right now? Anyone who comes in is going to be wading face first into a firing squad.

I don't like it.

If I see something I don't like, I wreck it.

So, I'm going to do something about it.

If enough of you DON'T want to, I'll find some other way of getting on that island and getting people off that's not going to put this ship in the crossfire. If you all DO want to kick around some of these assholes though, then we need to figure out how we do it without getting sunk ourselves.

I might be Captain, but I'm new to this ship. I'm not expecting you to stick your necks out for me, or anyone else, yet.

But we've got a long road ahead, and we won't get very far on it if we spend all of it hiding. Plus, if any potential help we could get gets constantly stuck on an island crawling with those bastards, that's going to put us in a bind eventually anyway.

Whether you want to be or not, we're labeled as pirates. I say we give 'em reason to worry about that label.

I agree, we cannot leave the new arrivals to fend for themselves. You have my aid, whether the decision is made to move fully forward with the ship or take a small operation on foot.

[gokai_red]

Knew I liked you.

No matter how we go about it, I doubt we're going to be able to avoid some pretty heavy fighting. Better be ready for it.

voice

[forhylia]

Of course. I always am.

[written]

[thethundersaid]

I will come.

[written]

[gokai_red]

Perfect.

You get to visit the scene of the crime after all.

[thethundersaid]

[In a ship this small, it's hard to resist raising an eyebrow when Marv passes him on deck after reading that comment.]

I'm not sure someone who says "if I don't like it, I'll wreck it" has room to judge.

[missvicegirl]

Oh hey, you get to fix the problem you started a bit. Good for you, kid!

[written]

[thethundersaid]

I'm not a kid.

But I see no reason not to finish what I started.

[forthevillage]

I am an uninvited guest aboard this ship, and as such I am at your disposal for whatever needs to be done.

[There is also the matter of him taking responsibility for his brother's actions, but he won't say that where Sasuke can hear.]

voice

[gokai_red]

Right now, so long as you can kick some ass, I'm good.

voice

[forthevillage]

That is something I consider myself reasonably capable of.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

You see? Danger seeker and trouble magnet!

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Ah, right on cue.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

I'm merely pointing out that I was right. I suppose you can't be stopped, though.

voice

[superstitiouspirate]

[You won't know this voce, but this drunkard has been holed up on the Murderess hiding more or less in the hold of the ship, quietly drinking all the rum.]

Aye hoist the colors and makes sail for Isla Empieza...

[Thre might be some slurring of the words there.]

voice

[gokai_red]

Ah, thought we've been missin' someone.

voice

[superstitiouspirate]

Not missing, just' otherwise engaged.

voice.

[hero_complexed]

No. I think we should help who ever we can.

And don't pay attention to Malfoy.

voice.

[gokai_red]

Hell, we might find some help there ourselves.

...

And don't worry. I don't.

[voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Futo and I can probably formulate a proper attack strategy.

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Might not be a bad idea. Go for it.

[Voice]

[breaks_pots]

Mm.

[He gave a nod, though it couldn't be heard. It was a natural reaction.]

Circle around. Find a way in without monsters. Keep them from falling on you that way.

[Voice]

[gokai_red]

[Pause]

Monsters?

[missvicegirl]

Ah, you being altruistic and disguising it as purely selfish gain. It's just like old times.

But eh, I don't like the idea of a bunch of newbies being fenced in, either. It ain't fair, really.

[gokai_red]

Ha. Funny.

Come on, it's not like you don't also just want to see what we're facing here.
