I’m a pirate now. Yep. Just completely out of nowhere. One second a wandering musician\/resistance member. The next a pirate. Or I guess a pirate musician? I can keep the crew entertained on long trips and such. I won’t be any use when we do pirate things. Good pirate things. We’re pirate heroes, not villains. The romantic type of pirates who only target those with too much, like the Imperials. <\/p>\n
\tPoor Irix is stuck steering our ghost ship until we prove ourselves to the spirits in the ship or whatever. He can’t take his hand of the wheel or the whole ship starts to sink! Truly none but Irix the Brave would have the resolve necessary. We’re lucky he became captain. The Kreen can help keep his hand on the wheel. I guess they don’t sleep. Maybe that’s why Coc’cyx is always doing stupid things. He must be tired after never sleeping, he can’t think straight! <\/p>\n
\tI’ve got a bunch of things to show Mother when I get back. So many stories to tell. The Empire is such a strange and interesting place. I do miss her. I keep the bell she gave me with me at all times. If I’m ever feeling homesick I can just ring it a few times.<\/p>\n
\tI’ve got so much to work on, so many songs and stories to write! Good thing sea travel allows me to just sit here and write unlike slithering across the land. I should have something done by the next time I get to perform for someone, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n
Pirate Songstress Shai-Hsien’s official list of things to do.<\/p>\n
1: Continue to be of the living.
\n2: Think of a cute name for a Wyvern.
\n3: Make the next Irix the Brave. (Seriously it’s been far too long.)
\n4: Learn a pretty sounding new language.
\n5: Grow two more arms.
\n6: Write a new epic song.<\/p>\n
