First Tide Turning ☠ [action + marauding + voice]
Seems there's types about who'd make the village safe. Police; a village watch. They'll want prisons, next. A gallows.
Rather funny, that, considering the nature of the place, eh?
There's rogues about. Mind that; and if you can't, lock your doors.
[Action]
A very indecisive pirate is stalking back and forth across the bridge behind House 35. He once vowed to two of the people he cared most about in Luceti that he was going to stop marauding, at least in the village.
Then came this brazen challenge, but what bothered Sparrow the most was Smoker's threat to the Joanna Joyce. For a year he had poured his soul into building that boat, and he wasn't about to let her go without a fight. And the very idea of establishing law and order! Police? A Watch? It was offensive. Whose law? Whose order? It would be a recipe for the power-hungry and the hero types to set their ways as everyone's ways, and Jack had already vowed to do whatever he could to sabotage it. The marauding is a piece of that: a matter of pirating principle and a support of the notion of common decency over codified "thou shall nots." Let this be a lesson to other would-be pirates.
Teague would be proud.
His honest streak, though, is warring with him. Breaking promises is something Jack does on a regular basis, but in this case there is Leonard McCoy to contend with. And Buffy, who would be disappointed. She might turn to her Champion, preferring him over a common thief, if he stepped over the line he'd drawn. Would they understand? Perhaps they needn't find out at all. Perhaps he could maraud secretly.
...Perhaps he shouldn't do this.
Jack takes another turn of the bridge, hating the fact that he doesn't know his own mind as well as he thought, and wishing his magical compass had turned up in Luceti: that kind of consultation would be helpful right now.

[OOC: Tags will MOSTLY come tonight. Going to try out my new running shoes now and probably go swimming. For those of you waiting for a Rapunzel post, that will happen during the event. Also, welcome to all new players!]
