Two words. Grog bitches.
I keed I keed. but seriously. You never hear stories about Ninjas cutting loose and having fun, it's all SRS BISNS!! I am far to flamboyant of a person to wear all black and sneak around like a sneegle. I love my large hats and billowy jackets and reds and whites and purples or and shiny things. loads of shiny things. I don't need to be strictly disciplined to know which end of the sword is sharp and to not get hit.
Also, Bluebeard needs to go on high sea adventures with me. my tiny little grumpy parakeet is already more pirate than bird.
