[Stede is not very good at video so it is showing the top of his head and the ceiling of the room, but not much beyond that]
Hello! My name is Stede Bonnet, Gentlemen Pirate. You may have heard of me and my daring exploits. But if you haven't? No worries. You soon will. [rogueish smile, not that you can see it. And he's still working on the rogue part anyway so it looks a little as if he's got an icecream headache]
Me and my friend Joel have decided that since we've been taken here against our will, we should form a little band of miscreants! Ne'er do wells! Causing trouble and mischief wherever we set foot until we shake some answers from our keepers or become so obnoxious they set us free.
Between you and me I think it's a great idea!
If we get a huge turnout I might even start taking sign ups, so be prepared to talk about yourselves and your skills and your vision for mischief!
Let's show them what for!

The confused delinquent squints into his pendant.]
You're... You're holding job interviews to find the most annoying guys here?

No, come on, this is a great idea! Of course everyone could be a menace individually, but think of how much could be accomplished if we all menaced together!
no subject
[Says the guy who looks like a teenager himself.]
Most of the guys I know would make you buy them dinner before they even heard you out, then fall asleep as soon as the interview starts. If they were feeling generous.
no subject
I should make a note of that. [there's a clatter and a rustle] It would help if I could find a quill...and a journal... There's so much day to day that you take for granted when you're on your own stalwart against the world.
[he's an absolute wreck of a man honestly]
I don't suppose --[Clank!] OW that was my toe... I don't suppose you know of anyone literate with decent penmanship that's looking for a position do you?
no subject
The true horror of this situation bleaches his face white as he listens to Stede fumble out of view. This is the man who wants to gather a whole damn band of the most obnoxious people he can find?
He's going to be eaten alive.]
Um. Not really.
I might think about signing up as one of your miscreants though.
[Definitely not because he's worried. Certainly not.]
no subject
[there's an incredible bang and a yelp and a scattering of things all over the floor] I was going to eat those.
Memo to me, learn how to use a broom.
[but back to the topic at hand]
Well I could certainly use the help and that's very generous of you. Of course you can expect to be compensated for it- as soon as I can find a way to make money.
[there are so many factors he hadn't considered]
What name do you go by?
no subject
That sounded like it hurt.]
Takemichi Hanagaki.
[Awkward silence for three, two, one...]
Did you just say you don't know how to use a broom?
no subject
I mean, the mechanics of it should be pretty straightforward. And I have seen it done. I'm just not sure...where it's supposed to go. Or...who takes out the rubbish-
I've discovered that you can get water by twisting knobs just enough to do washing up but my clothes are hopeless if fresh. I put them in the cold box for a while and I think that's helping.
no subject
Is this the existential dread that Naoto felt when he saw Takemichi's trash-littered apartment for the first time?]
You mean the fridge? The- Uh... Cold box is the fridge.
You're gonna need way more than a few notes, aren't you?
no subject
To be honest, I could use a lot. I'm a bit over my head if I'm honest.
no subject
[Not that Takemichi has a proper grasp on it either. At least he knows how to use a broom, even if he doesn't bother.]
I may not be good for much, but I can at least tell you the names of stuff and what it's used for.
no subject
You think so? That'd be a great help. I...to be honest I'm not sure what half of these things are.
