We're plenty provoked already, sirrah. But you keep puttin' 'em up, and we'll keep boarding 'em, stealin' em, and turning 'em against you.

I'm sorry, what? I was still oogling the wenches at the bar. Was there a war or something? Haven't noticed anything, but when me captain says we go, we go! She hasn't said anything yet though, so it's oogling, drinking and pillaging as usual, with the occasional adventure through the aether.
Speaking of adventures, I must mention this one situation where an imperial frigate was making it's way past us (for we were veiled within the clouds) when suddenly my captain, the vatic Vermillion, let fly a bullet that displaced the head of the captain of the imperial ship! How she spotted him through the thick, I know not. But then as we emerged from the clouds, positioning ourselves just above their ship, she jumped down to their decks and had the whole crew subdued by the time the rest of us joined her! She was unreal--even the enemy crew wouldn't stop mumbling about "demonic powers" and other such superstitious babble... but I have to admit even I find myself dumbfounded by her courageous performances.
It's all well and good for me of course, as I get to learn a few new tricks from her myself... watch yer backs, ye imperial swine!

As in females. I've been dealing with my fair share of winches, so I'm starting to get them mixed up. Fixed. Thanks!

I've not yet met the Privateer who could hit his own feet with any firearm, let alone a sliver of steel.
