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.

Oh gosh, I'm in the history books? Really? I've made it? Me?

You're not lying right? You're being honest aren't you? That I got in right? I'm part of it? Three hundred years in the future? Right? Right? [he's not so much tearing up as actually crying]

And yes... yes we were... does... does that mean we're not now? does... [and now he's crying for another reason] Is it really all over? Is it really all done?

H-hey...

[ Okay, is this a European thing? Because that Teddie kid tended to break down in tears too more often than Nanako, and now he had a crying adult on his hands-- ]

Take, a deep breath, alright? [ What the fuck is he gonna do-- ] I wouldn't lie about it, you and him are remembered. But I meant... that in the past tense for me, since you're... historical figures to my time, you know? I don't remember much more of that class since it was 20 years ago for me or so...

[ Deep breath-- ]

Take anything I say other than 'you were remembered' as a grain of salt?

Do...do you mean there's a chance? Do you mean you could have misremembered? [he can take that. He can do a million things with a chance. But with the last page already written it feels hopeless. Everything feels hopeless and overwhelming all of a sudden and he just wants to go back to his own cabin on his own ship and know that Ed is there nearby and that he can see him again whenever he likes]

--Yeah, I do.

[ He's not exactly lying. He never thought when he read that fact about Blackbeard and the Gentleman pirate working together, that those two could be ... intimate with one another. And he couldn't remember everything he'd ever read history wise. Just that they'd both worked together, and been execu--...

...

Yeah, he definitely would keep mum on that part. ]

I definitely could've misremembered, and you might not even be from the same timeline as me, so whatever I know may not even occur in your future. It's pretty... unstable that way.

Right. Right. I mean, anything can happen, can't it. Anything is possible. And you know, even if it isn't, I'm not going to let that stop me because --because I refuse. I've faced greater odds. [not really]

Listen... [this man seems like an individual who is at least kind to Stede if anything else] Would you be interested in signing on with me?
