[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.

voice

[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.

voice

[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]

Good!

Though if you've got any thoughts about HOW to go about it, I'm all ears.

[written]

[gokai_red]

Perfect.

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

voice

[gokai_red]

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

[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.

voice

[forhylia]

...The "how" is the tricky part, yes. I have been thinking on this myself. These great beastly ships are hardly stealthy, and we cannot simply charge through an entire barricade. I take it you are coming to similar blocks in your planning?

Re: voice

[gokai_red]

Little bit.

There's gotta be a way trough, but this isn't my old Galleon and I can't treat it like it is, either. A straight charge would get us killed at worst, and leave us without a ship at the least.

Re: [action]

[gokai_red]

[He claps the book shut as he walks past]

Ha! Who's judging?

Re: [action]

[thethundersaid]

[He's amused despite himself at the eagerness of someone to possibly end up destroying an already-destroyed town, mouth quirking very slightly.]

Fair enough. How prepared is this crew for a battle?

voice

[forthevillage]

That is something I consider myself reasonably capable of.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

You see? Danger seeker and trouble magnet!

[action]

[gokai_red]

...eh, I think we can make due. A good amount of us seem pretty battle ready.

voice

[gokai_red]

Hey, if you're half as damaging to everything around you as the other guy, we should be good.

[voice]

[gokai_red]

Ah, right on cue.

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]

[dragonbadfaith]

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

voice

[forthevillage]

By "that other guy," should I assume you mean my brother?

voice.

[hero_complexed]

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

And don't pay attention to Malfoy.

[voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Futo and I can probably formulate a proper attack strategy.

[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]

Yeah. Unless I'm over-estimating and his skill at wide scale desolation is something just he's particular good at.
