I did not understand any of that.

[dishonests]

And still, you granted me a positive mark.

[ there's a question in there. ]

[omnicides]

Yes.

[ and look, charlie doesn't need an honesty drink to say this kind of thing, or write it as the case may be: ] You're very handsome.

[dishonests]

And so it matters not if I might be a madman?

[ this is not, for the record, a complaint. merely curiosity. ]

[omnicides]

I was hoping you'd explain.

[dishonests]

Which part?

[ now he's just being cheeky. ]

[omnicides]

[ is he? charlie's not very good at reading human moods and humour even in face-to-face interaction. when it comes to text, he'll just take this at face value. ]

The part where you've said you "will plunder your treasure, shiver your timbers, and jolly your roger."

[dishonests]

[ ah, well. ] I can't speak to the precise meaning of that part, I'll grant it, as I weren't the one what wrote it.
As I guess, it means some manner of enjoyment, most likely of the carnal variety.

[omnicides]

Someone else wrote your profile?

[ that's - actually a really good idea. but also, oh. ] I see.

[dishonests]

Aye, some little sneak.

[ he's not sure what to make of that i see. interpreting text speech is difficult enough without being from the eighteenth century. ]

Be you regretting that cheque mark now?

[omnicides]

No. Are you a madman?

[dishonests]

There be those that think so.

[omnicides]

Why?

[dishonests]

Any civilised person would think a man mad for going on the account.

Then, there be others who would think him mad not to.

[omnicides]

Going on the account? What does that mean?

[dishonests]

Why, it means to ply the sweet trade. To turn to piracy.

[omnicides]

I see. I don't know any pirates, but I don't think someone's mad just for becoming one. I suppose.

Why did you become a pirate?

[dishonests]

Well, you know one now, and your opinion may yet change for the experience.

[ what he next is a farce of the truth. ]

Why? The same reason anyone becomes one: to make myself a rich man.

[omnicides]

Did it work?

[dishonests]

I'm here, aren't I? [ that's a no. ]

[omnicides]

Yes, but people come here for a great many reasons.

Still, I'm sorry it didn't work, then.

[dishonests]

It's only a matter of time.

[ once i leave this place, he writes, then erases it. he writes instead, ]

What be your reason?

[omnicides]

[ charlie almost doesn't answer, or at least not with the truth, but - honesty is a virtue, isn't it? and he wants to be better. he wants to be good. ]

They said they could bring my people back.
