Captain of a motley crew - open to any and all

[ecopiracy]

All right, you lot, liven up! You are all hereby honorary members of my pirate crew. You'll be taking orders from me now, so look sharp!

Give me an hour in your pirate village and I'll have my own crew, thank you.

[ecopiracy]

The only way you're getting to Far Drop, Razer, is by sailing on my ship. So what will it be, then, hmm? Perhaps First Mate?

[farfairersoul]

I tend to be a little difficult to handle in lieutenant positions, Phoenix. I doubt you could keep me under control any better than anyone else.

Not to mention that if you drag me onto your ship to serve under your pretty if underaged command, I will obviously have to bring Erol with me, and what will you do about him? He doesn't play nicely with others, you know.

[ecopiracy]

Perhaps if you did not think of it as me controlling you, but as an agreed upon arrangement to be terminated upon arrival at the Brink?

[He grimaces.]

If you insist on bringing him along, it will be your duty to keep him occupied and out of trouble, Razer. Otherwise he will wind up in the brig.

[farfairersoul]

[He thinks on that for a moment.]

Fair enough on both counts, I suppose. Consider your offer accepted.

[You have no idea what you just assigned a lead position in your crew, Phoenix.]

Although I'd imagine the Commander would make a fantastic pirate, and highly recommend you consider him for a ranking position until we have our own ship.

[ecopiracy]

Excellent! Glad to have you on board!

[But Erol... Erol not so much.]

I need to know that I can rely on those who I place in a position of authority. Somehow, I doubt I can obtain that assurance with Erol.
