That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

Piracy isn't exactly soft. You don't let yourself be weak or you die.

It's not as simple as a teenager puffing his chest up to be left alone.

[bubblegumheart]

If it's so dangerous, why do you do it?

I didn't say it was. I was just explaining why I thought what I thought.

[theflashyfool]

Well, it is a good way to get riches beyond your wildest imagination, status, respect.

And I'm explaining in return. Especially since you're running around, trying to join my circus.

[bubblegumheart]

That's a fair point. I'm not sure I care about status or respect, though.

[Or riches, if she's being honest. But having money would make it a lot easier to get away from Hawkins.]

I appreciate the honesty. Most people look at me and assume I can't handle the truth. It's kind of annoying, actually. And you haven't given me an answer yet.

[theflashyfool]

About what? Joining my crew?

[bubblegumheart]

Yea! Unless there was something else I'm not aware of.

[theflashyfool]

Depends. Are you gonna be willing to follow orders? I'd be your captain after all.

[bubblegumheart]

That depends on the order.

[theflashyfool]

Oh, we have limits, do we?

[bubblegumheart]

Doesn't everyone? Have you always wanted to be a pirate?

[theflashyfool]

I've been in the life since I was around nine years old, so safe to say.

You gonna say what those limits are?

[bubblegumheart]

You've never wanted to do anything else?

I don't know. What kind of orders should I be expecting?

[theflashyfool]

I'm happy with what I've got right now.

Depends on your talents. What do you even know about pirates?

[bubblegumheart]

I'm glad you're happy now, but that's not really what I asked.

Fair. Not much, actually. Just what I've read or seen in movies.

[theflashyfool]

I got what I wanted... to be a pirate. There's going to be bad mixed in whatever you do.

Well, we do steal, pillage, plunder...

[bubblegumheart]

Well, yea. That's just how the world works. The bad doesn't have to spoil the good and the good doesn't cancel out the bad.

So... pretty much what I've read or seen in movies? :P

[theflashyfool]

With not as much pretty stuff in between, kiddo.

I think you'd be good on clean up duty, personally.
