Iron Morgan Kidd: A pirate’s life isn’t easy; it takes a tough person. That’s okay with you, though, since you are that person. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! I don’t think that pirates who are steady and planning and fine and reliable are reall all that pirate-y. Maybe I’ll just go watch Muppet Treasure Island again. ---
