Hi all!

My name is Stede Bonnet, Gentleman Pirate. I'm sure some of you may know me, but if you don't you soon will! I'm currently looking for crew to sail together and have many adventures while we're here. Duties include looking after one another, talking it through, mending experience a plus but not necessary and someone to take notes. If you're interested, or know me! Please reply as soon as you can.

Also if anyone has seen Blackbeard or a tall man named Ed with long salt and pepper hair that is incredibly handsome and charming and probably the most amazing man I've ever known, please let me know.

And...if you're here, Ed, if you can hear me... [his voice breaks and he clears his throat] I've got some things to say to you as well. Starting with... I'm sorry.

Sorry. I'm having a hard time with "polite" and, you know. The whole murdering people thing. How do you genteel-y murder people?

[Sorry Stede, he's really hung up on the "pirate" part.]

Another planet. [No kidding.] Which, so far, no one here has heard of.

Well, it's true a pirate's life can be brutal. But it's also about freedom. So I don't have to murder people if I don't want to, and honestly I'd much rather negotiate. [the rest of it, well, things happen on the high seas, and who is he to judge]

What really? A whole other planet? Like Mars? Or Jupiter?

Freedom from... what, exactly?

[We're sorry again, for this man.]

A whole other planet. As in, another solar system entirely. So no, not Mars, or Jupiter. I've only ever been to your moon, actually.

From the world. From society. Freedom to do what you want... to... to love who you love even when everyone tells you you shouldn't. Sometimes it's either piracy or death. [Stede doesn't know if he'd have gone that far, but every day it had felt like he was dying a little more. Soon there would have been nothing left and it was selfish-- It's hard to feel badly about it since he'd met the love of his life]

You've been on the moon? Wow! That's incredible. What's it like up there?

Hold on... What does love have to do with piracy?

[What. That bit actually took him aback. If only because of confusion. Complete and abject confusion.]

It's uh. A moon. Rocks, dust... there's a base or two up there. No breathable atmosphere, though, so that's kind of a drawback.

Plenty to with piracy. But I'd feel there'd be a lot less if people weren't confined to who they ought to be with. [he still maintains that, for him personally, and perhaps Ed too, you wouldn't be a pirate if you didn't love it in some way]

Really? Just...rocks and dust? Are you sure?

I still don't follow. How does... how does romance and "being with" people deal with stealing and piracy?

[Confusion! He's trying to put two and two together, but keeps coming up with five.]

Oh, very sure. There's a couple of Alliance outposts up there. But that's about it.
