[rankyakukaku]

Oh dear. I...seem to have been press-ganged into a crew of pirates. This is a predicament. Whatever shall I do? La, I do believe I feel faint~!

Don't let'em get what they want!

[rankyakukaku]

Ah...Well, what they want is for me to repair their ship. As I'm on board it at the moment, it seems prudent to keep it from sinking, at the very least.

[energizedskies]

What're you going to do?

[rankyakukaku]

Go along with them for the moment, though it irks me. I'll try to slip away at the next port...maybe leave them a few inconspicuous holes in their ship as a parting gift.

[energizedskies]

Leave another hole for me, Kaku! I wish I could help, but our boat's not that fast.

You gonna be okay?

[rankyakukaku]

I certainly will! And thank you, Sora, for the sentiment; I wouldn't want to drag you into this, in any case.

I should be. I can hold my own, you know, it's that they were threatening a town, and now they rather outnumber me on this ship, so I haven't had a chance to give them the old one-two! ...I'll defend myself if necessary, rest assured.

[energizedskies]

I can handle a bunch of pirates.

But you better be okay. We still haven't met in person yet.

[rankyakukaku]

I'm sure you can. Nevertheless, they're a...particularly unpleasant crew. It's probably better that you don't have to take care of them.

I'm fine, Sora. And we'll just have to rectify that sometime after I extract myself from this situation!
