“If I don’t kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am.“ [ fOR GATES. ]

{ Pirate Adventures | Accepting }

“Are you selling that to me, or trying to buy it yourself?” It was a genuine curiosity. Not that he was overly bothered by the gorey mess on deck, seeing as he didn’t have to clean up the damn thing. It was just that Flint had a way of excusing things that was almost as legendary as his name – to hear something this flat made Gates wonder if the younger man was having doldrums. 

Shaking his head, he clapped the taller of them on the shoulder and gave a slight tug as he walked toward the cabin, not so subtly directing Flint to follow. It wasn’t as though they’d be needed during the aftermath of this – may as well get to the root of it now.

“Seeing as you’ve reintroduced yourself, how about we grab something to drink.” It sounded like it should have been a question, but it most certainly wasn’t. 

“Hear me out, that would be enough.” [ for gates jesus christ the bullshittery never ends ]

{ Hamilton Starters | Accepting }

“Hear you out,” Gates had been hearing out Flint’s stories for years. There was no denying the younger man had a gift for persuasion – and the fatal flaw had always been the willingness to listen to a man whose own ears were closed to anything he didn’t like to hear. “You really think you can sweet talk your way out of this one? You fucking killed me Flint. That’s not something a man can just forgive and forget.” 

Although it was – reasonably debatable to refer to himself as a man, at this juncture. He was something, certainly, but a man was probably pushing the lines of credibility too far. Whatever he was – whatever these infernal whispers were – he did recognize the fact that right now, the only person he had for this was the very same shithead that killed him to begin with. 

Heaving a sigh, he leaned back, opening his arms toward the man and shrugging before slapping his hands on his thighs. There was nothing for it – if he was going to get Flint to budge, he’d have to be the one to compromise first, for now. “Go on then,” The words felt like gravel in his throat, sounded like it too, “Explain to me why I had to die. It damn well better be good.”

“Why do you write like you’re running out of time?” [ for author!Abigail B) ]

{ Hamilton Starters | Accepting }

The rhythmic scratching of her quill came to a halt, the ink drying in the wake of her consideration toward his words. It was always this way now, feeling as though conversation was trapped somewhere inside of her, locked beneath the screams that still bubbled inside of her throat. As though if she were to risk parting her lips and let any sound escape at all, she must be certain to have the right words and only them – for to linger, to let noise froth itself forward she risked the wave of raw horror breaking past behind each syllable. 

It was an unbearable existence at times like these, when an answer was expected and the art of conversation was believed to be something one did not forget after learning it the once. With care, she set her pen into its hold, fingers reaching for dust to aid the ink in drying as though these meticulous and methodical actions could bring to bear a storm too great for one soul alone to carry.

“It is where I feel safe,” She offered him the truth, though there were more things she could say, to clarify it. Simplicity in times of great internal chaos was, perhaps, the mortar upon which the dam within her was built. “The more that I write, the quieter it gets inside of me.” 

Finally, she looked over at him, once more allowing herself to see the man the pirate had become. It was strange – unnerving, even – to see in him the return of a softness she could feel slipping from her own grasp with every passing day. The good of the world was returning for him – and she hoped it would continue to treat him kindly. She did not begrudge him, though she did hope she could learn from him some means of strength, some capacity to hold on to the light that seemed to be growing dimmer with every nightmarish memory.

“It is too loud, still, for me to stop.” That she feared it may never again grow quiet, she had not the power or will to admit.
