I'm removing this journal from Theatrical Muse. It was fun, but it's time to sail over the horizon to parts unknown and let someone new have a turn at Jack Sparrow.

Loyalty is a fool's game played by the naïve or the devious. Men are not loyal creatures. All a man is truly loyal to is himself and his treasure, whatever that may be. Them that treasure riches toil after it with a loyalty that makes the gods jealous. Them who treasure lofty titles and power view all around them as a rival or a slave, and they ( Read more... )

Chance encounters, is it? I wonder. If a beautiful woman plummets off of a cliff right in front of your very eyes, and you're the only one man enough to save her because the King's Navy apparently hires marines who can't swim despite the fact that they spend most of their lives aboard ships, does that count as a chance encounter? And if the afore ( Read more... )

Depending on his mood, he may dismiss the question with an airy, fey wave and an insouciant quip, or he may get expansive and wax eloquent (and perhaps a bit loudly) about the fact that pirates by nature are shameless creatures, ( Read more... )

Tell me what a man treasures, and I know almost all I need to know about him. If it be riches, then I know that no matter how much he has, he'll always be wanting more. That's true of the lowliest pirate or the loftiest lord. That sort of man could be sitting on a mountain of gold and still covet the brass buttons on my jacket or the ivory beads I' ( Read more... )

You want me to tell you a story about betrayal, is that it? I suppose you expect me to tell you about that black-hearted scalawag Hector Barbossa, my mutinous first mate. Captain Barbossa stole my ship and my crew and left me to die. It's true that he betrayed me, but I knew that he was trouble from the moment I first set eyes on him. He was a ( Read more... )
