[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!

[WINCE.

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?

[touchofcashmere]

I'm...going to have to learn that one. [and he'll do his best]

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.

[OH NO.

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?

[touchofcashmere]

Fridge... Well it is frigid.

To be honest, I could use a lot. I'm a bit over my head if I'm honest.

Yeeeah. If you were at the bottom of the ocean, this whole thing would be floating in orbit.

[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.

[touchofcashmere]

You may be right. [it's difficult to deny really]

You think so? That'd be a great help. I...to be honest I'm not sure what half of these things are.

Where're you staying? I feel like if I wait til tomorrow, I'm gonna find you dead with your fork in the socket.
