Just like old times.

Tradehollow. Haven't been there in a month or so. The Captain Without A Ship is about to make her return to the jeers and judgements of drunk idiots. I'm kinda lookin' forward to it to be honest. Bonnie has let us know that no only are the Bull Boys involved in this shit, but also the Stone Cold Shitheads too. Not overly happy to be investigating two incredibly brutal pirate lords, however I'm not about to let them walk away from this one. Most of the pirate lords never really seemed to get what being a pirate means. They think that a fucked up method of killing people constitutes a reputation that's worth having but, for me, being a pirate is living without limitations, it's living the life that you want on your own terms and being beholden to nobody other than yourself. It's a responsibility to leave the sea better than you found it and it's a responsibility to your crew that you will never intentionally steer them wrong.
That's something that I wish The Siblings understood. The looks that they gave me after I told them that we're setting sail brought me a great deal of anger. Rich folks like to think that they understand the world perfectly, that they know everything better than anyone else. I, first and foremost, am a pirate, I haven't been anything else for a long time but somehow my view on what Piracy is fall on deaf ears. Piracy is an ideal and to the folks around me it's either dangerous or a delusion. I think that Bud gets it and maybe Bonnie, but Bonnie has her own problems. Apparently The Madame recruits hypocrites left right and center. I guess it makes things easier if they're good at self-deception. Either way, Bonnie hates Bo for leaving The Madame behind, despite having done the same. Bo hates Bonnie for hating him, I kinda get why she does. People are weirdly loyal, even to the people that they've betrayed. I will say though that if they can't sort their shit out then we're on course for a fucking problem. Either that or Bo will kill her in her sleep, which would still be a problem but one that would be easier to solve. I know that Bonnie won't kill him, she knows what'd happen to her if she did. Bo is a little more self-destructive so I'm not 100% on that one. Probably won't. I'll say 95% that he won't kill her, 4% that he will, 1% they kill eachother in the confusion.
 
I got reminded of my dad recently. I don't think about him often, hell I barely even register the knife as his anymore, but it was interesting. He used to give all this advice about the world, or at least how he saw it. When he spoke, I listened. Would he be proud of what I did with his advice? Doesn't really matter I suppose. The dead rarely pass judgement after their own has passed.
