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

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

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Nope!

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Oh, for Merlin's sake. You're going to get us killed. You can't just go about wrecking things, you'll need a strategy.

[voice]

[gokai_red]

If you look around, we're already working on that.

There's a difference between planning to kick their asses and planning to get us killed.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Oh? What have people come up with?

Yes, yes. But we're still just one ship versus god knows how many. Or are we joining with the other suicidal crews?

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Might have a good way to at least get in there. Then it's just a matter of paving a way for folks to get out. Maybe get a few on here.

We might not have what we need to take those guys out now, but I'm sure as hell not wanting to give 'em the satisfaction of having an open slaughter handed to them.

But hey, if there's other people headed in at the same time... I guess we are!

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

I take it leaving the same way as we arrive isn't an option, then?

Well, that's strength in numbers, at the very least. And we've quite a few magic users on board, which is always reassuring.

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Might be, actually.

So you in or out, then?

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

It's not as though I can just leave the ship, of course I have to come with you maniacs. In, I guess.

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Hey, always some kinda choice. Wouldn't have asked, otherwise.

But if you're in, that makes nearly everyone, I think.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Speaks in a flat tone.]

Cheers. We can all go be shot at together.

[Marvelous laughs at first in reply.]

See, that's the spirit!
