Greetings to whomever finds this note,

I have been informed that we are on a space station. I, much like Jacob Frye, have only arrived here recently. We have been here long enough to settle down at least, and thanks to Sophia, have been given a great deal of information about our new home.

I do however have an inquiry I wish to share. From what I have observed, this space station is like an island, floating in a sea of stars. There are worlds out there beyond those stars and there are means to travel to them in the form of space ships. I wish to learn how to sail one of these ships. Might there be someone willing to teach me? I would ask you to name your price, of course.

Yours,

Captain Edward Kenway.

	Hello Edward. I am Katherine and I am certainly willing to add one more student to my list. As for my price... I would ask of you the most gruesome piece of poetry you can find/come up with. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is that all you ask for? I am a curious man. Why gruesome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unless you have an inkling to teach a manticore how to do 'sit', that is all I am asking for. Because I find terrible poetry far more entertaining than a delicate piece of writing. So make it bad... really bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A manticore? Do you jest? I am hardly a poet, nor do I think I am capable of finding such written works but I will see what I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would never jest about such serious matters. Rufus does not know his manners and it shows. He is a bad example for the rest of my crew. Being hardly a poet, makes you the perfect man for the job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You named a manticore, "Rufus"? And you have a crew? So you wish for subpar poetry? And not just gruesome poetry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did. It was between "Rufus" and "snakey McGoatface". He glared less at "Rufus" so "Rufus" it was. And yes, I have a crew... various kind of animals all better at 'sit' than "Rufus", well, except the horses. Yes. Poetry of gruesome quality. I want to cringe at every line I'm reading. Do your worst, basically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you named all of the animals in your care? Might I ask why you want terrible poetry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2020-05-07 08:42 am UTC (link)
	Most. With some I was able to find out their original name. My great grandma always used to sit us down and told us that if we wanted to know the true soul of a man, we just need to request a piece of bad poetry. The man's choice would reveal the man's very nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because I can't fly if it decides to break apart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aye, you and my daughter both. But being alive while they were invented, and tested and seeing all the things that can go wrong... And the sorrow it brings when they do... It's not something I can do sober. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So I suppose there's no way I can convince you to join my crew then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
