Day 22: Tattoo
In which Stede enlists Lucius to put together a design for his first tattoo, and of course Stede is That Client
Captain,
Please find attached the proposed draft of the requested design. I believe it fulfills all parameters we discussed, but please forward any notes at your earliest convenience.
Lucius
Lucius—
Wow! It is far better than I could have even imagined. Truly excellent work, as usual!
Edward and I were thinking, though, that perhaps there might be some way for you to incorporate our respective flags into the design as well? Maybe not the actual flags, that may be a bit too busy—but perhaps one of more elements of each? We’d love to at least see what you can come up with?
—Captain Bonnet
____________
Captain,
I am thrilled to hear that you and Captain Teach remain in full possession of your respective cognitive faculties.
I shall have a new draft with the requested changes on your desk by tea time.
Lucius
P.S.—Gentle reminder that you are meant to sign your alias, so as not to leave written evidence in case we are apprehended.
Captain,
Please find enclosed the draft updated with the requested changes. I have included the spear thingy from Captain Teach’s flag, the dagger (?) from yours, and the heart motifs from both.
I look forward to your thoughts.
Lucius
Lucius—
Most remarkable! I would say we may be nearly there. Two things
-Last night, I was revisiting The Tempest and came across the following quote in Act III, Scene I that simply called to me! Might it be possible to include somewhere? Perhaps around the edge, of a swash at the bottom?
“Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, Did my heart fly at your service.”
-And secondly, is there a way to make the lighthouse stand out a bit more? Perhaps some more shading around the base? I think that would really make it “pop”, as it were!
—Captain BEdwards (good save there, eh? Thanks for the reminder!)
Captain,
I have added the changes you requested.
If you have further edits, might I suggest we find a time to sit down and discuss in person? Only I fear that we may find ourselves running low on ink and paper.
Lucius
Lucius—
Thank you! Might it be possible to see a version with a swash along the bottom as well?
Also, is it just me or is the top looking a bit…I don’t know…unresolved? I welcome your input!
–Captain ##Edwards
To the illustrious Captain Edward Teach,
If you cannot convince your husband to be less…him, with this tattoo design, I am going to tell Fang to secretly tattoo a cock and balls flanked by two upright middle fingers instead.
Yours, repspectfully,
Lucius Spriggs
____________
Should do that anyway. Be bloody hilarious
____________
…Wow. You’d the the one that would have to look at it, you know. —L
____________
Better make it mine then. Should I pop down there to model?
(I’m joking but now that I think about it, he might actually go for that. I’ll bring it up over tea)
____________
You know, more and more I understand why they call you the Scourge of the Caribbean.
Talk to him, please? —L
____________
Sure thing. Hey, should I get one of his dick on me? Could you draft that up for me? Thanks mate

I finished an essay, needed a break, and decided Crescent should be created, so boom. Very quick, kinda lazy, but ya get the point wheeeze.
Enjoy my rambles:
He be a water boi! Absolutely loves swimming or walking in the rain. I imagine his ecto is a little more opaque than the others, and that’s completely because of his father not because I don’t want to deal with the anatomy of those web spike things. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ but his bones are colored like his OG design, with black fingers and grey bones.
He was such a bratty toddler just to begin with, and eventually went through a very long phase (like from 7-16 kinda long) where he just hated most of the Gang, except kind of Cross, and Horror on occasion. He probably talked to Gradient and Goth about his parents being actual murderers and learned from them that that is Bad, but instead of being afraid of them he’s just really mean. He’s always going to either Errorink home (cuz Gradient), following Dream around, or staying at Ccino’s cafe.
He’s probably said some shitty things to his parents in that time frame, and while NM kinda distances himself from Crescent, it’s only out of respect of his wishes. Cres is still Night’s son and hoard. He still loves him, even if Cres is a dick. Killer and the others try to interact, but are usually shut down.
Probably takes a few things for Crescent to come around, like Killer getting him birthday gifts all the time, their catto versions in Ccino’s cafe being clingy af, and probably even NM going absolutely feral to keep him safe. Maybe a chat with the other Dragonets to get his thoughts and feelings straight. That’s when he really loosens up a bit.
