[video] -- 2 things: Trick or Treating and 8 more commander drawings

First order of business, the trolls don't have Halloween in their world. Thus I'm inviting any of you who would find it fun to come trick or treating. That said, I suggest everyone try to find treats for them unless you want to experience the full weight of troll tricks. Eridan, Karkat, Tavros, Sabo, Vriska, Gamzee, and anyone else under 18 who wants to go trick or treating; you need a costume. If you want ideas, ask me or ask around for suggestions.

Also these are the remaining commander drawings I promised Hong Kong a while ago.

That's a lot of commanders for one pirate organization.

It's a 1600 man crew. Lots to organize.

[He seems a little surprised]

I wasn't aware that one pirate group can contain that many members. [...] It's equivalent to an army of a small country.

Pretty much yes. But since we protected several islands and small countries, that's only to be expected, isn't it?

Besides, my Pops' dream was to have a big family, I'd say he'd succeeded.

Yes, it makes sense.

...He must have been a great leader to have that many people loyal to him.

[Softens immediately and beams.]

He was. The strongest man in the world, and fiercely protective of us. The whole world knew we were his sons and that he'd do anything to avenge and protect us. Even if it meant going to war with the world government or another pirate emperor. He was really loving so we all loved him right back. He had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. Ace comes close sometimes.

[Brief nod]

...Before arriving at Fortuna, I wouldn't have expected that pirates could be family oriented.

There are a lot of misconceptions about pirates. Even among other pirates.

Hm. [...] Each commander is in charge of 100 people?

Yes.

Based on your descriptions, they seem to be... unique individuals.

They are! That's what makes them fun!

[He's about to question the fun thing, but decides not to]

...you really get along with all of the other commanders?

Edited 2011-10-30 20:26 (UTC)

They're my brothers. We have the same father. They're my family. I love them. I'd do anything for any one of them.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

...Right. [...] I'm just not used to hearing everyone in a group getting along.

[...]

There was one. It's... not a fun story.

Someone that didn't follow your father's ideology?

[Waves a hand.] There've been millions of those. And idiots who think the key to becoming the next pirate king was defeating my Pops.

No. Ah... Marshall D. Teach used to be in our crew. He was nakama. You've seen how much I love my brothers... we thought he was one of us. He always said he wasn't ambitious enough to be a commander but it was a lie. He killed Thatch. [Squeezes his eyes shut and looks away. Fuck. Over a year and he still can't talk about it much.] It was... a huge betrayal. [Clenches a fist.] And the downfall of my family.

Are the other co-command- ...brothers still by your side?

Yes. Ace is... here. The rest... I'm not sure how I'll protect them yet. I think splitting up would just isolate us and make it easier for Teach to target us individually. Him and the rest of the world.

[....]

At this point, the most you can do is protect Ace.

I will.

[And he nods.]

Like you and your sister, eh?

[He's a little surprised when Marco mentions his sister, but he nods]

Yes, I promised that I would protect her.
