What is it? You don't think I'd be suited to piracy?

I disagree. Adventure on the high seas, daring swordfights, buried treasures. Though - the plundering and killing and drunkenness I'm not very keen on, you're right.

And induction by kidnapping? There isn't an easier way to go about this?

[Belle this is serious even if it isn't even happening for months, okay.]

I'll be careful. I'll find a way. Don't worry.

I need to see this

[theboywiththebook]

Do you mean with that trailer we just got awhile ago?

screencaps of tweets that were just on my tumblr dash. i'll find them again, hang on.

[lucency]

I'm not sure. Apparently, I won't be for a while. But it's possible - especially if no other pirates have decided to show.

woooo

[theboywiththebook]

Well I know my mun just found out we're airing on the 30th. He's getting excited.

[lucency]

Oh? Well, now that she knows, so is mine! Not too much longer.

[burdenof]

Oh.

That all sounds thrilling and - highly unanticipated.

[lucency]

My thoughts exactly!

Of course, I doubt I'll be so intrigued when the moment finally arises, but it's entertaining enough. For now.

[burdenof]

A kidnapping is not the ideal entrance to piracy, but I imagine that this is how most of them come into the business.

I do hope you will be safe.

[lucency]

Truthfully, I imagine that isn't the purpose of - what happens. [Potentially exciting as pirates may or may not be, that part doesn't sit well with her.] But I can't imagine many things that would make them do such a thing.

[burdenof]

Perhaps it is nothing to do with you at all, but those associated with you.

( Because she certainly knows how that is. )

[lucency]

But - why would they want to get to them? [Really, there are only two people, but both are equally disconcerting in different ways. Any sense of playfulness fades.]

Well. All that means is that I need to solve it before they have to step in.

[burdenof]

Perhaps you are someone's weakness.

I know that I am. ( She half smiles, a melancholy look in her eyes. ) Need you any help?

[lucency]

[That worry doesn't go away, but Belle smiles as well - more to herself. It's a strange feeling, actually knowing that for sure, as she does now.]

I'm not sure. Perhaps some assistance to not drag anyone else into this.

[burdenof]

( She reaches to give her arm a small, reassuring squeeze. )

You are strong and you will pull through whatever comes your way. ( Which is meant to give her strength as well as act as a blessing. ) Keep your ears open.

[servesnopurpose]

That all just sounds dangerous to me! [But Cogsworth is a coward, so his opinion is most likely unfit to be actual advice.]

[lucency]

Perhaps. But there's nothing wrong with growing away from your comfort zone - and sometimes it takes danger to do that.

[servesnopurpose]

And yet risking death for a little adventure doesn't come off as irresponsible to you? One bit?

[lucency]

Are you trying to tell me that I should sit at home, locked up, walking and speaking softly because that's safe? And therefore responsible?

[servesnopurpose]

Locked up? Of course not. However, I would consider even that as a better alternative to dying.

[lucency]

And then there are some who don't consider that living at all. Not too different from being dead too early.
