A/N: Okay, so I was able to get this up in one week's time. I would really like to get them up every week, but realistically speaking, that's not likely to happen. I have life and another fanfiction that can get in the way, but I should be able to manage a weekly/bi-monthly updating schedule. And I will definitely update on Mondays. This will make it easier for any guests to know when a new chapter comes out, or at least when they should look for a new chapter.
In several reviews it was pointed out to me that I used Kizaru's name instead of Akainu. This had been changed. I knew that it was Akainu, because I kept saying his name in my head, but for some reason, it kept translating to Kizaru, which sounded weird when I read through it, but I couldn't seem to figure out why... If something like that happens again, please let me know!
It was also pointed out to me that Luffy's 'x' shaped scar was received after Ace died. Considering Everything changed almost the moment Ace was attacked, Luffy wouldn't have his scar. I remedied this. It's not a huge change that requires the chapter to be reread, I just took out all mention of Luffy's chest scar.
Now then, the response for the last chapter was overwhelming to say the least. I knew that it was a more popular fandom than the Digimon one (which I currently write in), but I hadn't expected this much of a response for the first chapter. I'm really pleased and very excited with continuing this story. Truthfully, I had thought a time or two about writing a One Piece story, but I was always worried I wouldn't be able to get the characterization down, especially Luffy's, so I'm glad to see that you all think I'm doing okay for now.
This chapter will be explanation oriented mostly, but it needed to be done. We'll get to the action soon enough, but don't expect too much, because the purpose of this story is not action packed fights, but family bonding and adventure with a few fights thrown in.
A few other things I think it is important to mention. First, this story will contain cussing. It's about pirates, so that seems a given. It won't be every other word, cause I don't like it, but if cussing offends you, it's probably best not to read this story. Second, this story will also contain OCs. Only five people, including Roger himself, are canonically revealed to have been on Roger's crew (that I have seen, at least), so I need OCs. They will be important in the sense that they are crew mates that Ace and Luffy will interact with and form bonds with, but you don't have to worry about romance, cause that would be weird.
If you'd like to make a contribution to the crew, feel free through a PM. I won't use everything I'm given and they may not show up a lot, but I only currently have two OCs specifically planned (which are shown in this chapter). I don't mind taking suggestions, in fact, I'd appreciate them. If I don't get any, well, I'll just make them up as I go. I'm good at doing that too. Note, however, I won't take anything given to me through reviews. Sorry to guest reviewers, but I don't want to get a review that only contains a character profile or something like that. I've seen such things in reviews for other stories, and it's irritating.
Now then, I'd like to thank everyone who had favorited and followed this story and I would like to give special thanks to Tsukino Aisuru - A, Wordlet, Opirou, mutteringsandramblings, 33381, Leska(guest), lovelu(guest), mysteryreader6626, OnePieceDoesExist, Naeme, rion-rion, Mithril Lace, and Kagamine Miharu who all reviewed this story. Thanks a bunch!
Anyway, you can continue to the story after this brief disclaimer.

Chapter 2: Colliding with the Past! The King of the Pirates Appears!
Sarri yawned tiredly as she stared out at the silent ocean. She was on watch in the crow's nest tonight and she was thoroughly bored. Out of all the night shift positions on board, watching from the nest was both the easiest and the most excruciatingly boring. The only bright side was that the shift switched every three hours to keep the crew from getting too bored and causing trouble. Unfortunately, Sarri had only just begun her night.
It was maybe half an hour into her shift when she thought she caught some movement in front of the ship. It looked like something was floating in the ocean, but from this distance, it was hard to be sure what it was.
"Hey, Mikkel!" she called down to her little brother who was on duty at the bow. "I think I see some debris in the water, but it's hard to tell!"
"Got it!" he called back, grabbing a telescope from the sash around his waist. After only a moment, Mikkel shouted back in alarm. "Get the captain! There's a small dingy with two survivors straight ahead!"
Sarri saw one of the others run towards the sleeping quarters. She was surprised that a dingy had survived the storm that had raged the previous night. She supposed that it belonged to whatever ship's debris was floating in the water. More than it having survived, she was surprised that it was still in the area. By now, surely it would have drifted away? Whatever the deal was, she supposed they would have to wait until the two survivors were brought on board.
"How…how is this possible?" Ace asked overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the Oro Jackson. "That ship shouldn't exist anymore!"
"Ace?" Luffy asked worriedly, watching his brother's tense face. He didn't receive an answer and looked back to the ship. He was excited that he could see the ship that the King of the Pirates had sailed the seas with, but he also knew what it meant for Ace. His brother's distress dampened his own excitement.
As the ship drew closer, Ace seemed to snap back to reality. "Luffy," he said seriously, still not taking his eyes off the Oro Jackson. "Whatever's going on – no matter who we see on that ship – keep quiet. Let me do the talking."
Luffy frowned. "You know what's going on?" he asked, almost pouting that Ace might be leaving him in the dark.
Ace shook his head, face grim. "No clue. But whatever it is, it can't be good and we're going in alone at only a fraction of our power, especially you, Luffy."
Ace knew that while he was a teenager, he was at least at a respectable height. Luffy, on the other hand, who had always been smaller than average, was much smaller and even with a greater amount of control over his powers, the significantly decreased body mass would be a huge disadvantage.
Luffy pouted at that, not liking that he was being asked to take a backseat, but he also understood why his brother wanted him to, so he agreed without too much fuss.
As the boat approached, the tense atmosphere around them increased. The water stirred and their little dingy rocked violently. Instinctively, Ace grabbed onto Luffy's slightly too big shirt, trying to make sure he didn't fall overboard all the while clinging onto the side of their little dinghy to keep himself aboard. The ship began to slow as it approached and Ace assumed the people aboard had noticed the distress their boat had come under.
Despite the slowing pace, it wasn't more than a few minutes before the huge ship was only a couple feet away from them. A rope ladder was thrown over the side of the ship and Ace and Luffy were forced to duck so it didn't knock them in the head.
"Sorry!" someone yelled from above, peaking over the railing. They couldn't make out his appearance very well, but they could tell that he had dark hair of some sort, most likely black, and pale skin. "Hurry and climb up!"
"Okay!" Luffy yelled back not even thinking about it as he reached for the ladder.
"Luffy!" Ace hissed quietly so as not to be heard by the pirates, before smacking his brother's hand away from the ladder. "Don't accept their offer so easily!"
Luffy pouted at him. "Why not?" he whined. He really didn't want to stay in the small cramped boat. Plus, that was the ship that belonged to the King of the Pirates. He really wanted to go explore it!
Ace ignored his brother's question and instead focused on the slowly growing crowd of pirates above them. "Why should we trust you!?" he demanded, glaring menacingly.
Some of the men shifted at the look and Ace fought a smirk. He was glad he hadn't de-aged so much that his glare was ineffective against pirates. It gave him both satisfaction and an upper hand if he ever needed to bluff.
The pirate who had thrown down the ladder appeared to frown, though it was hard to tell for sure in the low light and odd angle. "We might be pirates, but we don't want to hurt you!" he called down, trying to seem non-threatening.
Ace was unimpressed, and made it known. "You could be lying!"
"But we're not!" the guy called down, almost sounding like he was whining.
"And why should I trust the word of a pirate!?"
Ace knew it sounded kind of strange coming from his mouth and he was glad Luffy was somehow managing to keep his mouth shut. Being a pirate himself, he knew exactly the kind of people most pirates were. And if these pirates had the gall to be sailing in this ship of all things, they couldn't have been that great.
"Whether you trust us or not, you'd be better off on this ship than in that dingy!" another person called down. She was tall, taller than the dark haired boy and had lighter hair than him, but the same pale skin. "Do you even know where you are or where you're going?"
Ace was irritated that the girl had made sense. He and Luffy had no idea where they were or where they were going. They had no supplies, were suddenly at least at half power, possibly lower, and they were both devil fruit users in a small boat that looked ready to fall apart. Truth be told, Ace was surprised that it hadn't started to take on water yet. But dammit all to hell if he didn't want to stay as far from that ship as possible. The ship that once belonged to his father, the Oro Jackson, he would rather burn it than hitch a ride. Luffy was of a different mind.
"Ace~" he whined, pulling on his brothers arm. "I'm hungry."
Ace felt his resolve crumbling. As much as he didn't want to go aboard the ship, Luffy was his little brother and he wasn't going to let him starve. Plus, he was kind of hungry himself.
"Fine!" he called up, "But you'd better not try anything funny!"
"Whatever you say, hotshot," the woman called down, sounding far too amused about his threatening tone.
Ace decided he didn't really care if they were underestimating him. It would only help if things started to go south. He turned to his brother, who was about to grab ahold of the ladder again. "Luffy, remember what I said and keep quiet," he said. Luffy huffed, but nodded his head in agreement anyway. "And don't reveal your devil fruit powers."
This time Luffy blinked at Ace in confusion. "Why not?"
"It's better if they don't know everything we're capable of in case they end up not being as friendly as they're acting."
Luffy stared at him for a moment before shrugging. "Okay, Ace."
Ace smiled at the trust Luffy had in him, glad that he was still willing to follow his lead despite having grown up to be an amazing pirate captain. It made him feel needed and loved.
"You gonna come up before the rooster crows, or what?" the woman yelled down, sounding impatient.
Ace smiled up at the crew. "Sorry, we're on our way now!" he called up, becoming polite and throwing the crew off guard by the sudden change in attitude.
He quickly grabbed hold of the ladder, making sure he was first up. Luffy didn't seem to take offense and simply attached himself to Ace's back, making a concentrated effort not to wrap his arms around the other's shoulders several times. Ace grunted at the unexpected weight, but didn't bother to shake his brother off. Not only was Luffy ridiculously light especially at his current age, he also had every right to be clingy. He had essentially just seen Ace's execution, whether it was as successful as it had first appeared or not. And really, he didn't feel like letting Luffy go either.
It barely took any time at all before Ace was jumping over the railing to stand on the solid boards of the ship's bow. The pirates around them looked at them curiously while Ace watched them cautiously. Luffy, slid off his back, but stayed close to his side, studying the pirates with a blank look that was obviously making them uncomfortable. He couldn't help the slight curl at the corner of his mouth at Luffy's ability to make people uncomfortable without even trying. Back on Mt. Corvo it had been one of the best forms of distraction for the three brothers when they were stealing and sneaking around.
"Alright men, enough gawking!" the dark (brown, Ace realized) haired woman from before snapped as she came to stand before them. "Get back to your posts!"
The men grumbled but they left anyway, all save for the other dark (black) haired guy, who looked sort of like the woman, save for their hair colors. Both were pale with elven like features and sharp golden eyes. Ace suspected they were related in some way.
"Mikkel, what are you still doing here?" the girl asked.
Mikkel smiled, and though it seemed completely genial there was a smug look in his eyes. "I'm here to guide our guests to the captain," he said. The girl opened her mouth, looking ready to argue, but Mikkel cut her off. "You're still on duty in the Nest, Sarri. No one's going to cover for you. I, on the other hand, have plenty of people to patrol the deck."
Sarri gaped at him for a moment, before turning away with a scowl. "You're a horrible, horrible little brother, you know that, right?" she said sulkily.
Mikkel just grinned. "Ah, what are little brothers for if not to annoy their older siblings?" he said with a grin and a wink towards Luffy, who giggled at his antics.
"How about adoring their older siblings and doing everything their told?" she asked.
Mikkel seemed to think about it for a moment. "Nah!" he said before sticking his tongue out at her.
"You little shit!" she yelled, swiping at him, though she had a fond look in her eyes.
Mikkel just laughed as he danced out of her reach. "C'mon you guys! We need to take you to the captain!" Mikkel called to the two brothers before he began walking towards the back of the ship.
Mikkel lead them down into the lower decks of the ship. He walked silently, easily traversing the maze of hallways. It was almost as confusing as the Moby Dick. If it had been the same size, it probably would have been. The similarity between the two ships was only a fleeting thought, though, easily replaced by another, more suspicious one.
"Why would you bring a couple of strangers into the private quarters of your ship?"
Mikkel turned his head just enough to look back at them. "The captain's kind of lazy, so he didn't want to come out on deck this late at night," he said with a shrug as if it was normal behavior.
Luffy giggled from beside him, a grin stretching across his face. "He sounds like Shanks!"
Mikkel's steps faltered slightly before he continued on at his normal pace. "Shanks?" he asked curiously.
"Yeah! He's –" Luffy began excitedly before he was cut off by a hand over his mouth.
"Luffy." Ace's voice was quiet, but held a hint of warning.
Luffy's eyes widened for a second before his own hands came up to cover his mouth. "I can't talk about him," he said, mouth still covered, though his words were still distinguishable.
Mikkel looked back at Ace with new suspicion, but Ace ignored him and only kept his eyes forward. After a few more moments of awkward silence, the three made it to a large oaken door with the word 'captain' inscribed on it. Mikkel gave two sharp raps and waited until he heard a voice call from inside.
"You can enter."
Luffy cocked his head to the side, thinking that the voice sounded slightly familiar, before he shrugged it off and walked into the room a step behind Ace. The inside of the room was a respectable size with two desks – one facing the door on the back wall and the other to the left facing the right wall. A man sat at each one. One was tall with long blonde hair streaked with gray and held back in a ponytail. His beard was a dark gray color and his eyes, hidden behind round spectacles, a light, piercing gray. He looked familiar, but Luffy couldn't quite place it. His face was set into a severe expression as he stared, unimpressed at the other man.
This other man Luffy also recognized, but he didn't have to wonder from where. He knew who he was already, he just couldn't believe it. He was tall like the other, but his hair was shorter, just below his chin, and black instead of blonde. His eyes were a stormy gray, though his lids were at half-mast, showing boredom and exhaustion. The mustache was the biggest give away as to his identity, though. It was curly and reminiscent of the one on the Jolly Roger, though there was only one grouping of hair.
"You're…" Ace whispered in a barely audible voice, though it seemed everyone could still hear him.
The mustached man looked them over lazily while Mikkel began to speak. "Captain, these are the two from the dinghy."
"Hmm? Were you caught in that storm a few days ago?" the captain asked.
Neither boy answered. Ace was pale, causing his freckles to stand out strikingly against his skin. Luffy's mouth was hanging wide open, though a sparkle of excitement had begun to gleam in his eyes. They were in stark contrast to each other, but the reactions were just as worrying despite their differences.
The blonde man narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong?"
Ace remained silent, but Luffy's slack jawed shock quickly evaporated to make way for exultant glee. His eyes shown and a wide grin stretched across his face. "You're-!"
But suddenly Ace was moving, jarred from his own shock at the sound of his brother's voice, and clamped a hand over his mouth. "Luffy!" he hissed.
Luffy snapped his mouth closed seeing the wild look in his brother's eyes. He knew Ace wouldn't be handling this situation very well. He had issues with Gol D. Roger being his father. As much as Luffy idolized the man, Ace loathed him.
"Sorry, Ace…" he said quietly once his brother's hand had left his mouth.
Ace sighed, regretting his shouting a little as his brother's face fell. Even so, Luffy still needed to be quiet. More than his own reservations regarding his father, there current situation required tight lipped caution. If they were really in the past (and it was either that or Ace had gone nuts, which was a distinct possibility, though he got the feeling wasn't the case) then they would need to be even more careful than Ace had first anticipated. Anything they did or said could change the future.
Ace grabbed his hand and gave it a little squeeze as way of apology, before he stepped forward to take over the conversation, his face devoid of emotion so as not to give anything away. "Sorry," he said with as much politeness as he could manage. "But you are Gol D. Roger and my brother is a little excitable."
Roger smiled widely. "So you've heard of me!"
Ace snorted in derision. "Who hasn't?" he asked scornfully, though it was more to himself than anyone else.
The blonde man, Rayleigh, he supposed if that really was Roger, and Mikkel looked irritated at the disrespect but Roger just laughed. "I suppose you have a point," he said jovially, before becoming more serious. "You don't have to worry about us hurting you. We only hurt Marines and pirates who try and attack us."
The guarded look never left Ace's eyes, but he bowed and spoke with utmost politeness and respect. "Thank you for bringing us aboard," he said before standing back up. "My name is Ace and this is my brother, Luffy," he introduced. He would have preferred to use fake names, but they had already used their real ones enough times to bring up suspicion if he did. "We were forced to abandon our ship when the squalls hit."
"Was that debris from your ship, then?" Mikkel asked curiously, remembering the floating planks.
"Of course not," Ace said brushing the idea away. "We drifted for a while before we came to this area."
Roger stared at the two boys, a contemplative look on his face. His eyes roved over them, lingering briefly on the large scar on Ace's chest and the oddly familiar looking hat settled on Luffy's back, before he looked back into their eyes. After a moment, he nodded his head, coming to a decision.
"Well, I can't very well send a couple of children back into the ocean," he said, a grin stretching across his face. He shot Rayleigh a look and the blonde shook his head.
"You're the captain. It's up to you," he said, knowing they'd be staying whether he agreed or not. It was just easier to cave to the whims of his captain.
"Great! We're a couple of weeks away from any islands, but we'll take you along," he told them.
Ace gave them a guarded look while Luffy looked like his eyes might pop out in excitement. After a moment, Ace gave another bow. "Thank you for your help."
"Shishishi! Yeah, thanks!" Luffy said.
"Mikkel, find them a place to stay. It might be best if they don't bunk with the others," Roger said and Mikkel nodded in understanding. As nice as the men on Roger's crew were, they were still pirates and they might not take too kindly to a couple of strange kids encroaching on their territory, especially since the older one seemed rather antisocial.
"Aye, aye, Captain," Mikkel said, before leading Ace and Luffy out.
As soon as the three had left, Rayleigh turned towards his captain. "Are you sure about this, Roger?"
For a moment he was quiet, still staring intensely at the door the two strange boys and his crewmate had walked through. "There's something about them. I don't really get it, but I feel like I'll regret it if I don't help them," he finally said.
Rayleigh hummed in consideration. "I understand what you mean," he said, looking briefly at the door, before turning back to Roger. "But those scars…they're not normal boys. They're definitely hiding something."
Roger understood his first mate's concern. The wounds on the boys' bodies were numerous and very severe. The one on Ace's chest looked like it should have killed him. If the nearly matching one on his back was any indicator, whatever happened appeared to have gone straight through him. But that was definitely impossible. No one could have survived it. And yet the evidence was still there.
Despite all of this, though, he couldn't help but feel that they were trustworthy.
Roger finally looked at Rayleigh, a crooked grin on his face. "Maybe they are," he said with a careless shrug, "But aren't we all?"
Rayleigh couldn't really argue with that. After all, he and his captain were still keeping something from their own crew. He couldn't really blame two children who looked like they'd been through hell and back for hiding things from a bunch of wanted criminals.
Half an hour after they had left the Captain's office Ace and Luffy were sequestered in a rather small room where they would be staying for the time being. Ace was sure it was actually a liberated storage room, given the slightly stale smell in the air and the bits of rice grains and rope fibers. He didn't really care too much, though. He had slept in worse places, considering he grew up in a Mountain Bandit's hideout, lived in a tree house and slept just about anywhere he could find shelter for his head during his travels on the sea. If anything, he was glad they had been given their own personal space. It would make it easier for him and Luffy to talk without being overheard.
Luffy was busy inspecting every inch of the small space while Ace had already begun to get their pallet together. The crew didn't have any extra hammocks lying around, and even if they had, they wouldn't have been able to hang one up in their room. So, as a substitute, some of the more congenial crewmembers had given up a few extra blankets and pillows. It wouldn't be the most comfortable sleeping arrangements, but they'd had worse at Dadan's sometimes.
Once everything was set up and Luffy had settled down somewhat, Ace decided that they needed to talk.
"Luffy," he said, getting his brother's attention. "I'm sure you've figured out what's going on, haven't you?"
Luffy nodded his head firmly. "We're on a ghost ship."
Ace sighed in exasperation. Perhaps he had been expecting too much, but with Luffy, it wasn't always easy to tell. "I doubt it. If it were a ghost ship, Rayleigh wouldn't be here."
Luffy cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Rayleigh's here?"
Ace nodded. "Yeah, the blonde with Roger – that was Rayleigh when he was younger."
"Oh!" Luffy said in understanding.
Ace was quick to dissuade his thought process. He knew it was going in the wrong direction. "No, Luffy, Rayleigh did not follow us to wherever we are," he said. The understanding in Luffy's eyes petered out and he cocked his head in confusion again. "While Rayleigh is younger, he didn't go from older to younger like we did."
Luffy gave frustrated pout. "I don't get it."
"What I'm trying to say is…" Ace looked around, even though he knew no one was there before he leaned in close to Luffy's ear. "…we're in the past."
"Oh." Ace waited for a beat. "EEEEHHH!?"
"Shh!" Ace quickly hushed his brother. "It's the only thing that makes sense. Even if it really doesn't make much sense…"
Luffy looked at his brother worriedly. His face was tense and there was fear hidden deep within his eyes. If Luffy had been anyone else he wouldn't have noticed. But he was Ace's brother and he could tell when he was upset.
"We have to get back," Luffy said adamantly. "Everyone will be waiting."
Ace grimaced. "I know. I just wish I knew how."
A knock came at the door, startling the two brothers. They tensed and Ace nearly cursed at the flames that briefly danced along his shoulders before he quickly put them out. He was just in time as the door slowly cracked open and Mikkel's head peaked in. He smiled, before opening the door wider and walking in with a platter of food in each hand.
"Here," he said putting the food down on the floor. "We figured you'd be hungry, but dinner ended hours ago. You'll have to come to the mess tomorrow, though. I'm not a waiter," he told them with a slight huff. He had obviously complained to somebody else at some point about this particular chore.
Ace and Luffy, however, could have cared less about his attitude. They were starving and they might have even been grateful enough to kiss the guy, if they hadn't been so busy stuffing their faces. It wouldn't really be enough to fill them up, but anything at this point was appreciated. About halfway through his own platter, Ace managed to look up to a wide-eyed Mikkel and give a muffled 'thanks' before he was forced to defend his food from Luffy's wandering hands.
A short time later and both platters of food had been licked clean. The two brothers noticed that Mikkel was no longer with them, but they couldn't really recall him leaving. Ace stacked up their trays and put them in a corner of the room away from their pallet of blankets. Meanwhile, Luffy whined about how he was still hungry, the miniscule amount of food (at least for him and Ace) not having been enough to satisfy his voracious appetite.
"It'll have to do for now, Luffy," Ace said as he went about getting comfortable. "When we go to the Mess Hall for breakfast, we'll be able to eat until we're full."
At least he hoped so. Their appetites were larger than most, so the crew might not actually be equipped to handle it. He wasn't about to tell his little brother that, though.
Luffy pouted at him, but dropped the subject surprisingly fast, instead choosing to sidle up next to him on their makeshift bed. Ace supposed that recent events were still affecting him. Not that he blamed him. Ace was still shaken up by almost dying. Even still, it hurt to see his brother so docile. Luffy had always been clingy, but he had never been good at doing what he was told. That he was listening so well to what Ace told him was a little heartbreaking, especially since he knew it was partially his fault.
And now they were stuck in the past, alone, on his father's ship…
Ace frowned as a thought occurred to him. "Luffy," he called quietly.
"Yeah?" Luffy asked tiredly.
"Don't say anything about the future," he said. He could feel Luffy shifting beside him as he continued. "No matter what, even if they could help, we can't tell them where we're from or who we really are. Anything we say could change the future, and not necessarily for the better."
Luffy sat up and looked at his brother with a contemplative frown. "You mean like the Pirate King not becoming the Pirate King?"
Ace smiled at his brother, but it was thin and a little grim. "Right. Or we could do or say something that might make it so we never meet or become brothers."
Luffy's eyes widened and he let out a distressed whimper before tackling his brother in a fierce hug. "No way! Don't say that!"
"Luffy…" Ace sat up and hugged his brother back. "I'm not trying to scare you, but we have to be careful. I don't want something like that to happen anymore than you do so we have to make sure that we're very careful with what we say. Now, you can't lie to save your life, so leave the majority of the talking to me, and if anyone asks you any questions that could reveal the future, just say you can't answer," Ace told him.
Luffy didn't say anything and Ace frowned a little. "Luffy? Hey, Luffy." He shook his brother's shoulder, but all he received in response was a soft snore. He blinked and then blinked again before finally letting out a resigned sigh. "I'll tell him in the morning…" he muttered to himself before getting comfortable and letting sleep overtake him.
A/N: Okay, so that's it. Not terribly exciting, but I hope I did okay on Luffy's attitude. There wasn't much of him in the last chapter, so there wasn't as much to mess up on, but this chapter is making me a little nervous. Also, any insight into the characterization of the other canon characters would be great.
I hope you liked my OCs. I tried my best with them and I like them, but it really does only matter if everyone else also liked them...
Don't forget, if you have any characters you would like to contribute to the crew, do so through a PM. I won't except any contributions given through reviews, even if the reviewer is a guest and doesn't have an account. If you would like to do this, please include a physical description (it doesn't have to be super detailed, but include anything striking you specifically want mentioned like a scar or tattoo or strange physical characteristic), a bit about their personality, and a ship position. I they don't have a specific position, just say crewman. Mikkel and Sarri would be under this category.
Anyway, until next time, which will hopefully be next Monday, but definitely the one after that.
