Hey! Korra, here-

Would anyone happen to know anything about fighting with swords? I got a pair from the "Krissmis" ship. I think they're Fire Nation... [not that anybody is going to have a clue what that means...] Broadswords, maybe? They look pretty old fashion, but they're in good shape.

I just have no idea how to use them. I want to, though! I could pay for lessons and everything.

Is this what I think it is?

[Oh, well. Yes. It's actually some salami, a entire box of it, she received it from the Christmas ship. It's even labelled]

I don't know a lot about this whole Christmas day celebration, aside from what I've heard here, but, um....thanks?  I think.

[Should anyone come across her, she'll be lugging around that box to her room.  Why she is even keeping it is a mystery to her]

Calling all able and willing ships.

Since it has been apparent that multiple ships will be raiding Isla Empieza, I find it imperative that we have a proper strategy. Even with all of us, we are outnumbered and, very likely, outgunned.

The strategy I have proposed is using magics and other talents to create a foggy mass, possibly stormlike in appearance, that will disguise our approach and fool the Navy into not firing a single shot until we are already behind them and at the advantage.

Though I am open to other ideas. Anything beyond a full frontal assault has some merit, but if you're going to suggest some suicidal blazing guns routine, I'm going to politely ask you to shove it and let the real strategists talk.

So. Suggestions?

So... If you guys didn't hear what Dog said, the Navy's out and coming for us...

What are the chances of them finding us here? From that description of their ships Dog gave us, we'd be pretty outgunned if even one or two of them suddenly showed up.

[aka, let's not have anyone dying again. Please.]

[Private to Ace]

Do you have a plan ready for this?

[This script is absurdly good, the sort of writing that convinces the reader that good penmanship is a waste of time because it'll never reach this level with any amount of practice.]

To my fellow pirates and all others reading this,

I have met some of you, but for those I have not, my name is Princess Celestia, and I owe you an apology. Despite my best efforts, this is not my world, and thus, this is not my sun. I have tried to raise it many times over this past very long night, but with no success at all. For those of you who had to endure... less than pleasant circumstances, I can only offer my sympathies.

On that note, particularly if you are somepony I've met here, I would like to hear from you and know you are all right. I assure you I am well in turn.

I'd like to hear what everypony learned during this long night, as well. After such a trying time, it helps to put words to the lessons you have learned during these dark spots. Whether this was an act of caprice or malice, we undo the whims of the forces that oppose us by growing and learning from what we experience.

((OOC: Basically, Sora was dead, but now he's alive. He died via Insta-Death during the event. Expect him to respond with lots of confusion!))

[There's a sound of rustling and groaning.] Huh?

What--...?

[After a nice long pause (because he's not feeling so well--and who can blame him??)]

Where... am I?

Spade Pirates

This is Ace.

I found this cool little shop that sells a lot of different things. I think it might be magic, because I bought Vivre cards from it that work without you needing to weave them properly. There's one of every crew member for everyone, so it was pretty expensive. I was forced to sell the really fancy green hat I got off that jerk I punched.

They've been tested them too, so I know they work like the real thing. Each card has a name on them, so you know who they'll be pulled to.

I'll pass them out on the ship. Just be sure not to lose them.

Be ready, by the way. We're gonna set sail once the ship is stocked up.

I'm starting to think that nobody knows what bending is around here...

[But what better way to track them down than through this?]

Is there anyone here who can? Water, earth, fire, anything? Or does anyone even know what it is?

[She doesn't bother with air, for what she feels are obvious reasons.]
