Run out the Guns...this is about to get nasty...

Well, lads, you heard me! We ain't got much time to do it, either. Things have taken a turn for the worst and your Cap'n here may be payin' for a debt that isn't his. It's not even my fight, for Pete's sake!

In essence, this Cap'n here has has been hapless enough to wander into a war and he's bein' forced to pick sides. Honestly, neither of them may be right, but i do know which one's wrong. That much is certain.

So, enough with the shanannigans. Basically, Tina is angry at me for showing a tad bit, alright, you got me, a good deal, of affection towards Tink whom, in case you forgot, lied to Tina's face about a mistake she'd made in her relationship. I really do like Tina a lot, she's my favorite person, mind you, but i'm morally opposed to not being around someone whom i like or, at the very least, enjoy the company of purely because my frined doesn't wish it. I'm going to do what makes me happy first, then i'll worry about someone else. Besides, i'm not even involved in the conflict! Who am i to judge Tink for lying to Tina about what she did; no one, that's who. I have no right and neither does she. Plain and simple. And now, ladies and gents, i am forced to take a fall for it. A fall that may drastically change how things work at my youth group. And, the sad thing is, whether i win or lose, somebody's not coming back. This isn't good.

It bodes ill for every mother's son who calls himself pirate.

Run out the guns, ladies! Give me grapeshot every other cannon! Arm yourselves, lads. We take the ship.

*a young deckswab steps forward and speaks in a humbled tone*

"And what of the survivors, Cap'n."

*Cap'n Vincent stopped and tapped the hilt of his rapier. He drew it and sighed as he leaned on it. His weary body collapsing onto the steel. He stood tall and laid it on his shoulder drawing his pistol in the process.*

"There's not enough rum for 'em. Let 'em drink Davy's."

Raise the black flag. We sail under the colors you were born into. Let every mother's son remember why she's named The Regret. And never let them forget it.
