mun just beat black flag, wondering what to do with this loser

[jackdaws]

Jesus, woman, I've no appetite for being bandied around for your own pleasure unless there's ought to be gained from it. Gold, which you've clearly none of.

Seeing as though you're no lady of fortune, shall we lay out some ground rules in the fashion of a true democracy? Be as it may you're the helmsman, I'm still captain. And unless you'd rather I rot below deck while you run us to ruin, I say we set sail for the nearest port of wealth... or of leisure.

A place with both would be far preferable. [A grin.] Do you say aye, or nay?

Comments

[tomyfriends]

Same as ever, Kenway?

[SIGH. bro you and your yo ho bullshit is super old.]

Suppose it's good to know that there are some things in this world that are constants.

[jackdaws]

We can't all be as changeable as you, Jim. [Pointed look. Besides, you love his yo ho bullshit. Deep down.]

[them_apples]

Leisure, you say?

[Have this incredibly sceptical, if not amused look, Edward. This isn't quite what he remembers of you from when he was a little kiddy.]

[jackdaws]

[Sorry, Haytham, but this one doesn't remember you at all. Edward looks him up and down, equally amused, though for his own reasons.]

Aye, leisure. I'm sure a dapper gent like yourself knows a thing or two about that.

Apologies in advance btw, haven't brought this guy out in a good while

[them_apples]

[A dapper gent, hah. Edward, if only you knew.]

Well, perhaps I may have indulged once or twice in between my work. [Wow that's awkward to say to one's father.]

But tell me, is gold and leisure all a dapper gent such as yourself seeks of the world?

[fuckyeahmaths]

Oh, that is terribly rude. I am sure it is not her fault she has no gold for you, when she is not a pirate and you are, and besides a port of leisure does not sound at all exciting.

[ huge opinionated dragon noises!! ]

[jackdaws]

[...Is he seriously getting sass from a giant talking lizard.]

Wouldn't expect a dragon of all things to disagree with me. D'you have any more interesting alternatives?

[Like a hoard of treasure in a lair you evidently don't care much about guarding?]

[fuckyeahmaths]

[ wow no you try to take ANYTHING of his and he'll eat you.

also no he doesn't and that makes him puff up because how dare you be right. ]

Oh! You know that I do not, else I would certainly not be here, and would have said so before. And it is uncommonly ignorant of you to call me a thing when we are already talking and you can see that I am not some sheep or dog.

[nottheproblem]

[Paint many things unamused. Like Ziio. Or unimpressed. Or both.]

Surely your time can be put to better use than chasing stories of treasure and shiny coins.

[jackdaws]

[Totally ignoring how unimpressed she is. He's used to that reaction.] Once I've made my fortune, I can put my time to better things. Until then, chasing shiny coins is what it'll be.

[nottheproblem]

Once you've made your fortune. [Incredulous.] Well. You certainly are a man of luxuries to have the time to pursue fortune and glory. [And now that she's getting a better look at him...]

[front_mortar]

Ports'a wealth an' leisure? Sounds like ya got the right idea, hon!

[jackdaws]

There's more what I like to hear. Someone here knows how to have a bit of fun, rather than preaching at me from all sides!

[front_mortar]

Hah! What's th'point of life iffin ya don't enjoy it while it lasts, am I right?

[neverlady]

Looking to settle somewhere, Edward?

[jackdaws]

Settle? Nay, lass. Uncharted lands to explore, perhaps, but never settle.

[neverlady]

Never's a dangerous word to be usin'.

[tacohat]

[Sorry, dad. It's been decades, he doesn't recognize you immediately.]

Your kind has often preached questionable ambition, but I at least expected loftier goals than wealth and leisure.

[jackdaws]

[Which is fine, because he has no idea who you are, either. Besides some posh London dandy with a nice hat.]

"My kind" let men live as they will. Unlike you, we don't preach at no one.

[tacohat]

[And you are just some coarse half-drunk Assassin, by all appearances.]

And what do your call your Creed, if not that? You Assassins preach unfettered freedom, but are willfully blind to the chaos it will draw.

oh my god this is so late

[mohawk_tomahawk]

I can appreciate the adventurous spirit. The search of wealth and plunder seems to motivate you much.

[And...leisure, what ever that means. What does it mean.

Maybe judging a little at any rate.]

no worries!

[jackdaws]

[It means less than morally wholesome things you and your innocent ears are not suited to hear, dear grandchild.]

You can, can you? Odd, for an Assassin to be willing to speak well of a scoundrel like myself. [Ignoring the judging part. He'll take what he can get and feel smug about it.]

[mohawk_tomahawk]

[dangit grandpa, i'm all growed up]

As a captain of a ship myself, I know what it means to find glory in sailing the seas. It raises the crew's morale.

[He's allowed to take small pride, right? Though maybe not as smug about it.]

[sicarius]

[Oh hello.]

I would suggest being nice to la madonna, she holds the fate of your future, after all.

[Is that a grin? It is. Edward you are in for a ride.]

[jackdaws]

I'll be nice to her if she's nice to me. I prefer working on equal terms.

[Spaniards joining in on the lecturing now? Joy.]
