My standard issue black Agent in Training t-shirt’s already got a hole under the arm and I don’t even know how it happened.
And I will never forgive myself.
Guess you must be useful.
I maybe want to piss her off just to see what happens.

Allllright let’s get started on these….who should I—
….Oh.
Cheers, mate! 🍻
Five Things that make you happy?
Benjamin, Rum, my ship, my mates, and blasting the smug grin off the faces of royals :)
If you could save just one other person who would it be?
Take one guess, mate.
Tell us one of your funniest jokes.
There once was a lad whose nose flew off from a point-blank shot. What did he say? “Tell us one of your funniest jokes.” No? Not laughing? Oh darn, I thought that was quite the knee slapper there. :)
Where would you like to visit?
Around the Caribbean Isles with my husband and crew. The waters should be good this time of year…
When do you usually go to sleep?
Well, depends….usually after Benji and I—
Benjamin: —STOP. 😡
Are you a jealous person?
Absolutely.
Have you committed a crime?
….Nah. ;)
Do you have a chore you absolutely hate?
Usually it’s the mates that do those, but cleaning the heads has never been a favorable chore for any of them.
Benjamin:…Not at all. 😑
Tell me an embarrassing childhood story.
I was spending a night in the slammer after Officer Ralph caught me pickpocketing. I tried using the butter from my bread at dinner to slip through the bars, and wound up getting stuck. Officer Ralph was none too pleased about that one, as he had to get out the hacksaw on the iron bars to free me.
Are you a good person?
I’m a pirate. Are pirates known to be good people?
Benjamin: You’re a pirate with a heart of gold, Peter.
Oh love, you’re gonna make me blush. I’ll remember that line next time I’ve pissed you off enough~
What's the worst thing you've ever done? Do you regret it?
…..Oh Gods. I don’t think I want to go there…
Benjamin: …It’s fine, Peter—
—it’s not. Back on Bloodwater Bay, I….I still wake in cold sweats to that scream.
Benjamin: It had to be done. I realize it now. You saved me….
….I may have saved you, but I’m no hero for that.
What's the quickest way to make you laugh?
Insulting parliament. Or robbing them blind.
What is your favorite song right now?
“The Wellerman” is right fun, it is. Never fails to make me break out in a jig with the mates.
Do you sometimes wish to be someone else?
Mmmmmmnope. Can’t say I do.
Do you push forward or take time to rest?
I’d take time in the islands to let my mates rest, but if I let my guard down for even a second it could spell disaster. I remain vigilant, even in slumber.
What is your favorite drink?
Ron de Barbados. A gorgeous, rich rum with earthy flavors and hints of vanilla. A kick of cinnamon spice, and a dash of hazelnut that tickles the tongue. A bottles worth about twenty grand, but you’d be a fool to think I’d purchase a bottle to enjoy its contents :)
If you had to pick an item of clothing or an accessory to wear for the rest of your life, what would it be?
It’d have to be my father’s tricorn. I’m honored to continue his legacy.
If you were forced to forget one memory, what would you choose?
Remember that thing I regret? On Bloodwater Bay? If I could erase that from my mind, I’d do so in a heartbeat. The day I nearly lost my husband is a day that still rests as a deep scar stitched across my chest, and perched there is the little red bird that I must protect at all costs.
What is a positive thing your worst enemy would say about you?
That I have guts. And I’m not afraid to spill them.
Thank you, Peter. 🏴☠️💛✨

(Since I've been working on Kashi's WIP lately I'll use that one)
One word to describe your WIP: Trauma
Two lines that are your favourite:
There was a place the concrete ended, the street and the sidewalk and the tar and the lights and all man-made structures gave way to nature's own.
She pouted harder, ears going down as her eyes somehow seemed to get wider, and the desired effect on my stubborn countenance was had.
Three times you cried while writing:
So far I have not. Buuuuuuut I can say ones that likely will get me:
Death/removal of mentor character
Layla learning to let go of revenge for death/removal of said mentor character
Kashi's backstory
Four feelings from your characters:
Layla grinned at me in that childish way she had somehow managed to retain through all her troubles, and somehow I found it lifting my spirits as well.
"…You never told me that before."
"Because I did not want to frighten you."
There was a small snort of a laugh.
"Frighten beyond reason," I added with a growl.
I switched from brushing to braiding, the simple repetitive act something I'd learned as almost meditative. It helped to grind the shadows of the past under my heel. Keep them where they belonged.
They stay that the best stories are the ones carved into your heart. I do not know if this is true. Some stories are carved through violence or pain. Some are carved by your own hand, shredding your heart through the tears of loss. Some are carved through time, cracks in your heart which no blood pumps and instead only empty dark exists.
